Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 375

Chapter 353

The moment Ashley’s voice rang out, not just Vivian, but Yonnie, Jeffery, and Ethan were all utterly stunned.

Yonnie, well, that went without saying.

Jeffery had done some basic research on Ashley before and knew her family’s financial situation was relatively modest. While the Jones Family’s business had picked up this year, there was no way they could just casually drop hundreds of millions on a diamond, right?

Ethan prided himself on knowing Ashley’s situation inside and out.

Given the Jones Family’s current standing, pulling out a hundred million in spare cash would be tough, let alone five hundred million.

True, Chase had advanced Ashley two billion earlier as a thank you, meant to help the Jones Family with their cash flow.

(MACULA

However, even if the Jones Family’s business had improved, and even if Ashley still had a good chunk of that two billion left, Ashley casually dropping that much cash on a diamond… wasn’t that a bit excessive?

At that thought, he quickly pulled out his phone and excitedly messaged Chase:[When I first saw your wife come in, I wondered what she was doing here, but now I know… You know about the diamond at this auction event, right? The starting bid was four hundred million, and with one word, she pushed the price to five hundred million. Is she actually trying to get this diamond? My God, she’s insane…]

Ethan was typing away, words still pouring out before he could finish telling Chase. Just as someone else bid five hundred fifty million, Ashley spoke up again. She flat-out said,”Seven hundred million.”

Ethan:…”

He hadn’t quite finished what he wanted to say, but he sent the message to Chase anyway.

Everyone attending the auction that night had pretty much already guessed the rare diamond’s final bid wouldn’t dip below a billion.

But with Ashley, every bid was either a hundred million or a hundred and fifty million. In just three rounds, she’d pushed the price to seven hundred million. That kind of boldness wasn’t just shocking to Catherine, Yonnie, and Ethan; everyone else in the room turned to stare at her.

The vast majority of people seated at the auction were wives or daughters of top-tier, high-society moguls.

Even if most of them didn’t know each other personally, they’d certainly heard of one another’s names.

Seeing Ashley throw money around like it was nothing, and seeing her unfamiliar face, quite a few people whispered to those next to them, asking who

she was.

The bidding continued.

Ashley matched almost every bid from the others. When she opened her mouth again, the bidding price shot straight to a billion.

Seeing Ashley bid without a moment’s hesitation, Vivian suddenly realized she was dead serious about getting that diamond.

Her lips thinned into a tight line.

Ethan noticed it too.

Honestly, he was a little stumped.

Chase hadn’t replied to his message.

But he couldn’t help himself. After snapping out of it, he messaged Chase: [Your wife just pushed the bid to a billion! Holy shit, I just realized she’s dead set on getting this diamond. Does she actually like diamonds that much?!)

This time, not long after he sent the message, Chase replied.

But he just sent back a 【】

Ethan:…

What was with that period?
