Chapter 38 - 38: One Billion
As soon as he said that, other people didn't dare to bid anymore. They weren't short of money, but they wouldn't spend so much money just for a ring.
Many people complimented Selene enviously, "Miss Lewis, how happy you are! Mr. Hodges spent so much money to buy an engagement ring for you. The 'Destiny' will definitely be yours."
Selene lifted her chin and looked at the second floor proudly, showing off to Juliana.
Benson would not be willing to spend so much money for Juliana.
The "Destiny" diamond ring belonged to her for sure!
Benson took Juliana's hand and carefully checked it for injuries as he said without raising his head, "One billion."
"Wow!"
The whole audience gasped at the price and could not help but look up at the second floor.
Who was so generous to offer a billion dollars?
It was insane!
Juliana looked at Benson in shock as well, "It doesn't worth that much money."
Princess Syrte only offered five hundred million for the ring because she had loved it so much, but Miranda had had no intention of selling it.
Benson frowned when he saw that her nails were a little broken and bloodied, "It's worth it if you're happy."
Juliana lifted the corners of her mouth...
Benson did not bother to look downstairs but simply asked coldly, "Mr. Hodges, do you still bid for it?"
It dawned on the bidders that it was Benson. No wonder, then.
Jayden's face jerked hard as if he had been slapped hard and it hurt like fire.
Selene raised her head and looked at Jayden eagerly.
Jayden was uncomfortable by the look and could only whisper, "Selene, I..." fr eewebn ovel.com
Selene smiled gently and said understandingly, "It's just a diamond ring. My sister can have it since she wants it. I only want you."
Jayden felt guilty, "I'll buy you another diamond ring."
He couldn't afford to pay a billion dollars.
His family would not allow him to squander money like that.
Once Benson spoke, who else had that capital to compete with him?
Soon, Channing came back with the brocade box.
He subconsciously handed the box to Juliana, but Benson coldly glanced over at him, so he turned and handed it to Benson.
Juliana looked at her hand reaching out and blushed with embarrassment.
Benson, however, opened the box and took out the ring, then grabbed Juliana's hand and slowly put the ring on her finger.
The glittering diamond ring on her white and slender finger made her finger look even better.
Benson took her small hand in his, "Don't take it off."
Juliana looked up at him and compressed her lips, "Okay."
Channing watched it, a little surprised, "This ring seems to be tailor-made for Mrs. Leach."
Juliana glanced at him. It had to be said that Channing was telling the truth at this point.
Benson glanced coldly at Channing, "Have you found out?"
He was asking who had damaged the lot he had prepared for Juliana earlier.
Channing nodded, "It was the person who carried the item. He fell down and tore the painting accidentally because the floor was slippery. The auction's owner has already paid double compensation."
Juliana looked at Selene, who was talking happily with someone downstairs, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "That simple?"
Juliana looked at Selene, who was talking happily with someone downstairs, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "That simple?"
She hadn't forgotten that Selene had left for a while, followed by the painting being damaged.
Channing replied, "Yes, I have carefully checked the surveillance video several times and it was indeed an accident."
Juliana did not ask further questions. After all, Channing was a capable special assistant.
It could only be said that Selene's played her cards well and was not caught in the act.
Channing added, "Mrs.. Leach, Selene is waiting for you downstairs. Do you want to talk to her?"
