Chapter 122
Calling Twice
There was a dead silence.
This price was enough to scare away most people.
"Okay. 201 million, calling once. 201 million, calling twice."
Just as the host raised his hammer and was about to finalize the bid, a
lazy and pleasant voice was heard from the room upstairs.
"One billion."
Those two words caused havoc to erupt in the auction room.
"D*mn! One billion? Did I hear that right?"
"Oh, my god. It was definitely worth it coming here. My eyes have been opened.
"Wait, the big shot who just bid one billion seems to be the same one who bought the jade pot. He sure is a rich man. He must be absolutely loaded!"
The crowd was in a heated discussion.
Lucille raised her head.
Again, the only thing she could see was a pair of slender fingers with defined joints.
The man was sitting by the window, and most of his body was blocked by the curtain. One could only see his fingertips lightly tapping on the wooden railing, looking laidback and casual.
Even Bernard couldn't afford such a price.
He got up and left the auction room.
Thus, the CD was naturally bought by the person who had bid one billion. dollars.
The man sat in the room on the second floor and did not reveal himself from beginning to end. Even after he won the bid, he asked his
subordinates to pay before leaving the scene quietly.
Lucille walked out of the auction and stopped a car by the roadside.
Molly followed her and asked, "Lucille, when are we going to steal the CD?"
Lucille said, "Let's go back and find out who that person is first. Otherwise, we won't have a clue."
All the information of the people who participated in the auction was confidential. There was no way Mount Ocean House would reveal the identity and address of that big shot to the public, so she would have to check their database herself. That was a piece of cake for her.
Molly nodded and got into the car.
When they returned to the Jules Residence, it was already 11 o'clock at night.
Madam Dahlia was still awake. When she saw them coming back, she immediately greeted them and said, "You're back, Miss Jules. Just now, Mr. Joseph came over and asked me to give you these two boxes."
As she spoke, she pointed at the two boxes of gifts on the coffee table.
She opened them up and saw that the first box contained a small jade pot that was smaller than the size of her palm.
The other box contained a CD that she was so desperate to get that she was even willing to steal it.
Lucille's eyelashes fluttered.
Joseph was the one who had sent them?
In other words, the big shot who had just spent one billion dollars to buy the CD was actually Joseph.
She froze for a moment, and an indescribable emotion began to spread from the bottom of her heart...
Molly was very excited. She exclaimed, "That's great. We don't have tonoveldrama
Calling Twice
steal it anymore!"
Lucille returned to her own room after she carefully put away the film.
She took off the disguise on her face and went to the balcony of the bedroom.
From her side of the balcony, she could see Joseph's master bedroom.
Lucille didn't think he was around, but when she looked up, she saw him leaning on a deck chair on the balcony with a leisurely posture. He was holding a pure white, kitten in his arms, which was absolutely beautiful The wind carried his voice over to her. He was talking to the cat.
"How can you be so cute, Lala?" he cooed.
Lucille was at a loss for words.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Her nickname was Bobo, while the cat's name was Lala.
Lucille suspected that he was doing it on purpose.
From a few meters away, Lucille shouted, "Joseph!"
He glanced at her from afar. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. His alluring eyes were deep and charming. His every movement was arrogant and noble, and he exuded a lazy, wicked aura that emanated from the depths of his bones. His aura was vast as the starry sky, making it hard for people to take their eyes off him.
He chuckled and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping, Bobo?"
