Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1332 - 1310: The Mysterious Big Buyer

Even if one is not an expert, it can be seen that the Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon is a peerless jewel.

The bidders all exclaimed in awe, and some could not help but stand up to look closer. The Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon truly lived up to its reputation; it was worth the trip!

The hostess introduced word by word:

"The Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon originates from Ancient Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty and was a token of love given by Amenhotep IV to his beloved Queen Nefertiti. Queen Nefertiti was a matchless beauty, her famed name in Ancient Egyptian means ’The Beauty Has Come.’ The Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon in Ancient Egyptian means ’The Goddess of Beauty Descends to Earth,’ which perfectly corresponds with Nefertiti’s name. The love between the Pharaoh and his wife Nefertiti is a tale sung by generations. It is said, although the Pharaoh had significant power over North Africa, due to the Egyptian Royal Family’s history of close-kin marriages, he was afflicted with Froehlich’s Syndrome, making him frail throughout his life. Nefertiti ultimately succumbed to illness as well. Despite a lifetime of illness, they were devoted to each other, had two sons and six daughters, and within their limited lifespan, they created the glorious history of Ancient Egypt and solidified a long-lasting love story. Therefore, the Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon is also called ’The Most Perfect Imperfect Love.’"

Among those present, many female guests and female journalists sighed, clearly moved by the tale behind the necklace.

"Wow, if someone could gift me this necklace, I would die without regret!"

"Indeed, even though Amenhotep IV and Queen Nefertiti were plagued by illness, staying together for a lifetime was worth it. Would the person who gets this necklace receive Nefertiti’s blessing?"

"You all are just dreaming."

...

A row behind, a few female journalists chirped excitedly.

Chu Xinyue couldn’t help but hold her breath, truly wondering who would end up with such a precious piece today.

"The blue diamond portion of the necklace totals thirteen carats. According to the pricing by Sotheby’s in Geneva, Switzerland, the starting bid is 10 million US Dollars. Now, please begin bidding freely."

The auctioneer’s voice flowed slowly.

"Starting at 10 million? And in US Dollars?! It would take me ten lifetimes to earn 10 million US Dollars..." Ye Meng’s eyes widened.

However, the wealthy were already eagerly raising their paddles.

"10 million!"

"12 million!"

"15 million!"

"20 million!"

"25 million!" someone declared with a resolve of "Don’t compete with me; I’m determined to get it."

The auctioneer, seeing the heated bidding, relaxed a bit. With a high starting price, they had worried about a no-sale, not expecting so many bidders vying for it.

When the bidding price was pushed up to 37 million US Dollars, the room quieted, and no one else raised their paddle.

The auctioneer cleared his throat: "Anyone else?"

The crowd was silent, hesitating. After all, 37 million US Dollars converted to RMB is 240 million. One could buy a plot of land in a small city in China for that price. Buying a necklace... seems too disproportionate.

"37 million US Dollars, once; 37 million US Dollars, twice—" the auctioneer began counting down. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The one who bid 37 million, a CEO of a listed company, showed a joyful expression, certain of his victory, preparing to come on stage.

Just as the auctioneer was about to announce the final call, the door of the auction hall burst open with a bang.

Accompanied by the sound of firm footsteps, several people entered.

A tall, imposing figure, over 1.85 meters, accompanied by attendants, walked in against the slightly dim backlight. With long legs and trimmed arms, wide shoulders, and a narrow waist, the iron-gray, British Royal Family custom-made suit fit his perfect physique seamlessly, exuding a commanding and sovereign demeanor.

The man’s handsome face bore no expression, even conveying a sense of austerity. A high, tower-like nose and tightly pressed thin lips outlined a noble arc, and his eyes, sharp as cold stars, swept quickly across the room as if surveying the environment, before quickly concealing their sharpness, calming down.

An assistant beside the man announced loudly: "80 million US Dollars!"

Everyone present gasped in astonishment.

Even the experienced auctioneer was stunned.

million!

The newcomer couldn’t be bothered to waste time, directly announcing an unattainable bid that other bidders simply couldn’t match.

The CEO, who was closest to obtaining the necklace, changed expression: "All the bidders arrived long ago. What kind of move is it to appear halfway and compete with others? If this counts, isn’t that too unfair?"

The assistant who made the bid responded on behalf of his boss: "The plane encountered air turbulence, made a temporary stop at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France, and was only delayed by ten minutes."

The auctioneer frowned: "According to auction rules, once the auction has begun, the process is underway..."

The assistant stepped forward, cutting off the auctioneer, leaning over to whisper a few words.

Upon hearing the identity of the latecomer, the auctioneer’s expression immediately changed, unable to speak for a long time. Finally, he stammered: "...Well, weather reasons are uncontrollable factors, so the delay is understandable, and they’re still allowed to enter the auction."

The auctioneer contradicted himself, changing his tune, leaving everyone present stunned and speculating about the newcomer’s identity!

"Alright, a new bidder has now made an offer, 80 million US Dollars. Does anyone else want to bid?" The auctioneer picked up the gavel.

Naturally, there was no response, and the room fell silent.

Everyone’s focus had shifted from the Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon to this mysterious buyer!

"80 million US Dollars once, 80 million US Dollars twice, 80 million US Dollars three times—"

The auctioneer brought down the gavel, signifying that the Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon was sold for 80 million US Dollars to the man who had just arrived.

The man didn’t go up to receive the certificate personally; he merely shifted his gaze slightly, indicating for his assistant to go up.

After the auction ended, a group of bidders left listlessly, discussing as they exited.

The vast hall was left with only the journalists, who were eager for news, rushing over.

Chu Xinyue underestimated her fellow journalists’ tenacity. A step too slow, she couldn’t squeeze in at all.

Left standing on tiptoe outside the crowd for half the day, she sheepishly sat back down, hoping to pick up something after others finished their interviews.

Journalists’ voices came through—

"Sir, you flew specifically to Yunling to purchase the Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon at twice the price. Do you feel it’s worth it?"

The man raised his slender fingers, straightening his collar: "Something that holds one’s heart is worth any price."

"Does the Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon hold any special significance for you, sir? Is it for collection or investment?"

The man pondered momentarily: "It’s a gift."
