Chapter 244 The Mysterious Old Man
Standing in the crowd is a half-hundred-year-old man with gray hair. His slightly open black suit collar shows a blue-gray checkered vest, and he is very well dressed.
“Who is this?”
“I haven’t seen it before.”
“……”
In the buzz, it seems that no one knows the identity of this mysterious old man.
“Does Mr. Qu bid 2. 5 million?”
The head of the antique shop naturally knows the old man.
The old man smiled slightly. “My husband said that this pair of earrings also has a matching jade necklace, which must be in the hands of your bank.”
The person in charge was slightly dazed. “Mr. Qu guessed right. Indeed, that jade necklace is the final auction item today. You are really well informed.”
“My husband means the earrings and the necklace. We are all going to take them. Since they are complete sets, it is better to take them out together.”
The person in charge hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “OK, since you all know it, it’s no harm to take it out now.”
Soon, the antique shop took out today’s finale auction. In the anti-theft glass showcase, there was a full-bodied green jade necklace. Each bead was round and smooth, as even as a copy. Compared with the other two, the earrings were childish.
“It’s beautiful,” Amanda Jewell couldn’t help admiring.
She has seen a lot of jewelry, but she has never seen such a classic emerald, let alone a whole piece.
Iverson Byran gave her a look.
The auctioneer said, “The starting price of this necklace is 9 million.”
As soon as the voice fell, Iverson Byran put up a sign saying, “Ten million.”
In an uproar, the old man smiled, “Twelve million.”
“Fifteen million.”
“Twenty million.”
The outcry is like the waves, with a sound higher than a sound.
“Twenty-five million.”
“Thirty million.”
“……”
No matter how much Iverson Byran bid, the old man will always increase the price by 5 million.
By the time it reached 95 million, the scene was silent, so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly.
This is 95 million dollars of real money.
Amanda Jewell jerked Iverson Byran’s wrist and shook her head slightly.
It’s really unnecessary to spend so much money if it’s just to give yourself a birthday present.
Iverson Byran looked as usual, and his thin lips turned out the cold and powerful three words, “One hundred million.”
The whole audience is waiting on the edge of boiling.
The old man’s eyes were mixed with consternation. It seemed that Iverson Byran was so sure of this set of jewelry.
The auctioneer’s voice echoed in the banquet hall, “One hundred million once, one hundred million twice …”
“One hundred million three times, deal!”
The audience is boiling.
“Congratulations to Mr. Byran.”
“……”
In front of everyone, Iverson Byran signed a check and put the necklace on Amanda Jewell’s neck.
The cool hand passed over her neck, and the jade posted on the skin was warm and cool, which made her feel strangely comfortable. With those jade earrings, it was very expensive.
Amanda Jewell’s stiff neck didn’t dare to move, for fear of accidentally bumping it somewhere.
A hundred million dollars, Iverson Byran really dares to spend money.
“Can this be refunded?” She touched the joint of the necklace and tried to untie it.
“What do you think?” Iverson Byran held down her hand, and her deep voice fell to her ear, crisp and numb. “It suits you very well. Don’t take it off.”
Amanda Jewell’s back stretched straight, her cramped eyes fluttered around, and suddenly she saw the old man in the crowd, looking at them both, looking inquiringly.
She gave Iverson Byran a quick pull. “Do you know that man?”
Iverson Byran frowned slightly. “I don’t know him.”
“He seems to have been watching us.”
After a few seconds, Iverson Byran took her by the shoulder and led her away. “Don’t think about it, let’s go there.”
When he left, he looked back at the old man deeply.
It was very late after the party.
At the entrance of the hotel, the guests coming and going are polite to Amanda Jewell.
Sitting in the car, Amanda Jewell felt mixed feelings as she touched the necklace around her neck.
“Why do you have to give me this necklace today?”
“What’s the matter? Don’t like it? ”
“No,” Amanda Jewell pursed her lips. “You know I have no idea about jewelry. Actually, I don’t have to be so extravagant. It’s really expensive and I can’t wear it several times.”
Iverson Byran didn’t speak, but the driver in front couldn’t help but explain.
“Madam, you don’t understand this. Young Master gave you such expensive jewelry to show those ladies how important you are in his heart, so that no one dares to gossip behind his back.”
Amanda Jewell was shocked.
“Drive your car.” Iverson Byran dropped a word lightly.
For a moment, Amanda Jewell had a long-lost warmth in her heart, which slowly warmed her frozen heart. She shook her slender fingers and hesitated for a moment, trying to have a good chat with Iverson Byran.
The spilled milk is not worth regretting. Maybe they have a better future.
“Scene …”
A cell phone bell suddenly rang, interrupting her.
Take out your mobile phone, and the word” snow falling” is jumping on the screen, which just falls into Amanda Jewell’s eyes.
She clenched her fist subconsciously.
“Hello?”
“Now?” Iverson Byran’s eyebrows suddenly tightened. “I know, I’ll be right there.”
Hang up the phone, Iverson Byran told the driver, “Go to the hospital.”
Amanda Jewell Zheng slightly, “what’s the matter? What’s the matter? ”
Iverson Byran’s brow furrowed and his voice suddenly became hoarse. “Yingxue is going to have a baby.”
Amanda Jewell’s expression was stiff for a moment, and then suddenly she tugged at the corners of her mouth, making her smile worse than crying.
The tender moments don’t allow her to enjoy one more night. Fate always likes to joke with her, and after giving her some sweetness, she is quickly pulled back to the cruel reality.
She’s a star-studded, envied woman.
The next second, I know that the woman whose husband is outside is going to give birth.

Arriving at the hospital gate, Iverson Byran asked the driver to send Amanda Jewell home safely, and hurried into the hospital gate.
Amanda Jewell’s eyes penetrated half of the car window, watching the tall and straight figure disappear at the hospital gate. Her heart was empty and she couldn’t say, “Go home.”
The Byran Family villa.
When Amanda Jewell opened the door, the house was dark.
“Sister-in-law Zhang, I’m back. Why don’t you turn on the light?”
Amanda Jewell touched the porch light, snapped it on, and saw sister-in-law Zhang leaning on the sofa, fast asleep.
“Zhang sister-in-law? Why are you sleeping here? ” Amanda Jewell walked over and shook her arm. “Sister-in-law Zhang? Wake up. ”
No matter what she calls her, Sister Zhang still looks lethargic.
Amanda Jewell suddenly felt something was wrong. She suddenly turned and looked at the second floor, “Red Sister!”
She shouted the name of the new Moon, but no one answered.
Amanda Jewell rushed into the Lunar New Year’s Room in two steps. The room was empty, and there was only a small sheet of broken flowers left on the crib. All personal belongings of Lunar New Year were missing, and the wardrobe was all empty.
Amanda Jewell’s face went white instantly.
Yue!
