At that moment, the host's voice rang out from the Exhibition Booth, "One hundred thousand! Is there a higher bid than one hundred thousand?"
A hush fell over the audience.
The host raised the auction hammer and began the countdown.
"One hundred thousand once!"
"One hundred thousand twice!"
"One hundred thousand three..."
Just then, a calm voice emerged from the crowd, "One hundred ten thousand!"
In that instant, all eyes turned to Ye Yiming.
"Oh! Finally making a move!"
Mao Tianming smirked provocatively, raising his paddle to follow up with, "One hundred fifty thousand!"
Damn! From one hundred ten thousand straight to one hundred fifty thousand!
True to form, Mao Tianming was determined to secure this item!
"One hundred sixty thousand."
Ye Yiming's tone remained unruffled as he raised his paddle again.
This startled Luo Qi, who quickly tugged at Ye Yiming's sleeve and whispered, "Our family doesn't have that much money; don't act recklessly!"
"I have it under control!"
Ye Yiming gently squeezed Luo Qi's delicate hand and smiled at her.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Mao Tianming called out another bid and then turned back with a challenge, "My wife loves this necklace; no one is getting it today."
"Two hundred ten thousand!"
Ye Yiming didn't even glance at him as he raised his paddle once more.
"Two hundred fifty thousand!"
"Two hundred sixty thousand."
"Two hundred ninety thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand."
The bidding continued for several rounds, with the price skyrocketing from sixty thousand to three hundred thousand. Everyone watched in astonishment, knowing that this young man had gone head-to-head with Mao Tianming.
As the young man called out three hundred thousand, all eyes turned to Mao Tianming, eager to see how much he would bid this time. However, Mao Tianming shrugged and said, "Since Mr. Ye likes this necklace so much, I'll reluctantly let it go to you!"
Everyone was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. No one expected Mao Tianming to choose to back down.
Ma Feifei was equally stunned and asked in confusion, "Honey, what are you doing? You promised to win this necklace for me; why aren't you raising the bid?"
"Be good! Let him have the necklace!"
"I don't want to! I want this necklace!"
Ma Feifei shook Mao Tianming's arm, pouting playfully.
Mao Tianming shot her a look and said, "I'll get you an even better necklace."
"Alright!"
Although Ma Feifei didn't quite understand what Mao Tianming's look meant, she complied without further argument.
Seeing that Mao Tianming had conceded, the host immediately announced the ownership of the Heart of the Ocean. A cheongsam-clad woman approached from the exhibition booth, presenting it to Ye Yiming.
Just as Ye Yiming reached out to take the Heart of the Ocean, Mao Tianming smirked disdainfully and said, "Wait!"
Mao Tianming stood up and pointedly remarked, "Host, I request that the auction house verify this gentleman's funds."
"From what I've gathered, this gentleman is just a security guard; I seriously doubt he can produce such a large sum of money."
The statement sent shockwaves through the crowd.
"What the hell! That guy is just a Xiaoxiao security guard!"
"A security guard named Xiaoxiao actually spent three hundred thousand at the Charity Auction to bid on the Heart of the Ocean?"
"The auction is legally binding. Is this guy crazy?"
