Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Fletcher’s Auction House officially started the spring auction with the theme of “Exquisite Jewelry and Jade Jewelry“.

Iris didn’t go to the scene, of course.

At truly large–scale auctions, few buyers show up in person. They are all behind the scenes, with professional bidders on site.

Iris was the same.

She didn’t even show up behind the scenes, but was directed behind the scenes by Zayden.

Because of this buyer who was pulling the strings behind the scenes, they had to register all information and get approval from Fletcher’s Auction House.

She didn’t want to reveal her strength for the time being.

She was just sitting in front of the screen, watching the live broadcast of the auction, keeping an eye on everything happening at the auction site.

The auction started, and the second item was a ruby brooch in the shape of a maple leaf left by Marie, with a starting price of 650,000.

Raise the price by at least 50,000 each time.

Immediately someone bid 800,000.

Iris just glanced at the gemstone brooch on the screen, didn’t really

care about the previous bids, and was still holding other documents.

Bidding at the auction was going back and forth, and quickly reached

1.5 million.

Iris took a look, this 1.5 million was requested by Zayden’s client number 018.

“1.8 million.” Suddenly, a person with the commission number 027 raised their paddle on the big screen and made a bid.

Iris looked towards client number 027.

The look in the client’s eyes seemed to say, I must have this maple leaf- shaped ruby brooch.

Sure enough, when 018 bid 1.85 million, 027 immediately raised to 2 million.

Iris frowned as she watched numbers 018 and 027 on the big screen, bidding fiercely and not giving in to each other.

It seems like 027 is just like her, she had to get that ruby brooch for

sure.

She took the phone and dialed Zayden’s number.

“Ira.” The phone was answered immediately, and Zayden on the other end of the line was also watching the live auction scene.

“Uh–huh,” Iris responded, asking, “Do you know what’s going on at the auction?”

“I’m watching,” Zayden replied.

“Who commissioned Number 027?” Iris asked.

Zayden on the phone hesitated for a moment and answered, “Heriberto.”

Iris,

“1 11

This doggone thing!

“He wants it, so give it to him,” she said without hesitation.

“But this is Madam Aguilera’s belonging, it was originally meant for you.”

Zayden was determined to get Marie’s eight pieces of jewelry for Iris.

“Yeah, but they were stolen. Why are Nikolas and them auctioning off my grandma’s jewels now?”

Iris was calm and clear–headed, “It’s because they were short of money! My grandma was almost driven crazy by them in the end. Now if we compete with Heriberto, the price will just keep going up, and the only ones happy will be Nikolas and them.”

If we keep fighting with Heriberto for the eight pieces of jewelry, who knows what the final price will be.

It’s not that she couldn’t bear to part with the money, she just didn’t want to give it to Nikolas and his family of four again.

“Okay, I got it.”

The two of them always understood each other well. When Iris said, Zayden naturally knew what she meant. “Iris, I’ll find a way to help you get back Madam Aguilera’s jewelry.”

Iris smiled at the words, “Let’s see, if the next seven items, Heriberto’s client still wants to bid, then we’ll just give up, no need to bid.”
