My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 848

Kelsey whispered, "It's easy to understand. This is the Twin Box. They don't know if there is anything in it. If they want to open it, they have to find the other box. If they can't find the other box, it's meaningless to buy this box."

"However, its collection value is very high. Even if they can't find another box, the material is of high quality. If they buy and collect it, it will be equally priceless after a hundred years."

Moreover, compared to those items worth millions of dollars, a few hundreds of thousands of dollars was absolutely not expensive at all.

Kelsey smiled and said, "Many people know that this box belongs to Master Milton, and he values it very much. Mr. Milton is putting it up for auction to fool around. This box will definitely not be auctioned off. Mr. Milton does not have the guts to do that."

Speaking of that, I couldn't help but be curious. I looked around the auction hall and asked, "Why don't I see Mr. Milton?"

She lifted her hand, pointed at our surroundings and said, "This room is full of surveillance cameras. I guess Mr. Milton is probably watching us behind the cameras!"

I pursed my lips and felt that he really was laughable.

Looking at the box on the stage, I thought for a moment before asking, "Are you sure that the Milton family won't sell this box out?"

She shrugged and replied, "It's hard to say."

"Well, currently, the bid of this sandalwood box is four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Is there anyone else who wants to make a higher bid? Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, going once. Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, going twice..." the host announced while knocking the hammer on the table.

"One million!" someone called out, instantly piercing through the silent atmosphere.

The person who spoke was Evan. Feeling confused, I turned to look at him and said in a puzzled manner, "Evan, you..."

He looked at me and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Roberts wants the box. Perhaps, it really can open the box your grandmother gave you, Mrs. Roberts."

I was taken aback for a moment and said, "The contents in the box belong to my grandmother. I just want to have a look at it. It doesn't matter if I can't open it, I'll just keep it with me."

He smiled faintly, "Mr. Roberts hopes that you can get to know what's inside."

The host continued to announce one million dollars once.

Kelsey leaned in closer to me and whispered, "This box is easily worth a million dollars. With two boxes, the value will be even higher. You can pass them down as a family heirloom to your kids in the future."

I thought for a moment and agreed that it was not a bad idea. It couldn't be opened with one box. If the sandalwood box with me could be opened, it would have a much higher collection value.

I initially thought that I could bring that box back when the host raised his wooden gravel and was about to knock it down after announcing the bidding price for the third time.

However, unexpectedly, a deep voice called out, "Ten million dollars!"

Everyone in the auction hall began to stir in an instant. The price had far exceeded the initial value of the box.

Evan frowned and was prepared to increase the bid, but I stopped him, "You don't have to increase the bid anymore."

It didn't matter whether the box could be opened or not. If I really wanted to open it, I could find the person who had won the bid in private to try to negotiate with them.

It wasn't worth spending so much money buying that box.

I took a look around the auction hall curiously, searching for the bidder.

He was sitting in the VIP area in the front row. Kelsey clicked her tongue upon seeing him and said, "He's just an assistant. His boss hasn't shown up yet!"

I looked at the man who was holding the bidding board. He had a solemn face on and was dressed in a black suit with his hair neatly combed.

I couldn't help but ask Kelsey, "How do you know that he's not the boss?"

How could someone with such a temperament not be a successful person? I thought that he seemed just like a boss.

Kelsey looked at me and shook her head, "That's because you didn't observe him carefully. Look at the clothes he's wearing. Indeed, he looks really rich because he's wearing all the luxury brands, and they cost at least millions of dollars."

Speaking of that, she looked at Evan, who was sitting next to me and said, "Look at Evan. He has an annual salary of millions of dollars. Do you think the clothes he's wearing is under a million dollars?" I frowned and asked, "So, wearing million-dollar clothes isn't enough to show anything?"
