My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 847

The second was a set of emeralds. It was said that Master Milton had brought it back from Myanway for his beloved wife when they went there for business in the '90s.

Unfortunately, although the emerald was of good quality, the bid only reached five million dollars as there was a bracelet missing.

Evan couldn't help frowning while looking at them. He seemed to be deep in thought.

I started to feel a little bored at the auction and decided to talk to Kelsey.

Kelsey's gaze had already scanned the entire auction hall, and she had seen almost everything she could see.

She held my hand and started to introduce the famous collectable antiques on both sides of the auction hall by whispering, "Wow, they are all top quality collectables worth tens of millions of dollars. These collectors are really the unknown rich ones. These items are worth tens of millions, and some of them are quite priceless."

I agreed with her after taking a look around and said, "If someone could steal any one of the items from here today, I guess that the money earned will be enough for that person to spend for a lifetime." The corner of Kelsey's mouth twitched as she looked at me in exasperation, "Did you see the tough concrete and tempered glass that are guarding those treasures? There will be two guards standing next to each of the items, so normal people can't get close to them at all. Moreover, there will be professionals who will come and check on these items every five minutes."

It was also not easy work.

Kelsey looked at the auction stage, patted me and said, "Look, the next item is that sandalwood box!"

I turned back and looked towards the stage. Sure enough, there was a box on the stage that looked exactly the same as the box that Grandmother had given me.

The host stood on the stage and started to give us an introduction on the origin of the sandalwood box, "You all must be wondering why are we auctioning such a box that is particularly ordinary in both craftsmanship and material, right?"

Some sitting below the stage nodded.

The host continued, "Actually, the meaning of this box is the story it bears. This box looks particularly ordinary, but if you look at it carefully, you will notice that this box is made of hundredyear-old sandalwood. It's impossible for you to find this kind of wood anymore now because it has already become extinct. Besides that, from its appearance, the craftsmanship of this box may seem to be nothing extraordinary!" While speaking, the host turned the other side of the box to the audience.

The audience was in an uproar. The host said, "From your voices, I guess that all of your reactions are the same as mine when I first saw this box. The amazing part of this box is that no matter from which direction you look at it, you will feel that the box can be opened with a key, but if you look carefully, you will find that the box can't be opened by a key at all."

"Actually, this is the Twin Box. This box you see here is only one of it and there is still another one out there. Until now, we still have no idea where the other box is. You have to find the other one and merge the two together if you want to open this box."

"See? That's what I've told you!" Kelsey said excitedly.

I nodded, and my gaze fell on the sandalwood box on the auction stage. Looking at it carefully, there was no difference between that box and the one

Grandmother gave me.

However, since it was the Twin Box, there must be something different about it.

The host on the stage said, "The starting bid for this sandalwood box is two thousand dollars. If any of you are interested, you can start bidding for it."

Logically speaking, there should be people bidding for it since the starting bid was so low. However, after a few rounds of bidding, the bid price had only reached one hundred thousand dollars, and no one was willing to pay a higher price than that.

Perplexed, I leaned in closer to Kelsey and asked, "Why isn't anyone bidding for this box?"
