Elder Wu raised the price by another 20 million immediately after opening his mouth.
“160 million.”
After Elder Wu, Duke Eton spoke as well. He added another 30 million into the bidding price.
Although it was an exquisite piece of emerald jade that was very rare and precious, the current price was disproportionate to its actual value.
Everyone looked at Duke Eton in surprise. After all, this bracelet had been put up for auction by his daughter.
Duke Eton smiled and said in a generous tone, “That’s because Sunny is the one who asked Aiden to bid for this necklace back then. She really likes this necklace. It’s just that after Aiden won the bid, Sunny has already returned to Jiang District to search for her biological parents. Since Sunny hid her identity back then, Aiden could only give this necklace to her under the pretense of another identity. However, after Sunny’s mother wanted to seize the necklace for herself, Sunny said she wanted to auction it off.
“My Sunny is actually a prodigy in business. I can proudly claim that the reason I became the richest duke among the royal family of Luntan is all because of my Sunny. Although Sunny is young, she is much richer than her dad.
“Today, she is auctioning off what she likes. As her father, I don’t usually have the chance to do something for my daughter, but today, I hope to buy this necklace for her.”
Duke Eton’s words caused another uproar.
Previously, everyone looked up to Zhong Nuannuan because she was the Duke’s daughter. It was all because she was a member of the Duke’s household.
Yet, now, Duke Eton’s words shocked everyone.
The reason why Duke Eton was so rich was all because of Zhong Nuannuan. Meanwhile, Zhong Nuannuan herself was even wealthier than Duke Eton.
How… how was this possible?
How old was she?
However, everyone was convinced that Duke Eton would never lie. Since he said so, it must be true.
While everyone was still stunned, Wu Pingting from the Wu family suddenly thought of something. She got to her feet suddenly and asked, “Duke Eton, may I bother you with a question?”
Eton had a rather good impression of Wu Pingting. After all, she had defended his Sunny earlier.
“Go ahead. I’ll tell you anything I’m allowed to.”
“Tianheng Holdings is a huge financial group that has taken the entire world by storm, but the chairman of this financial group has always been a mystery. Just now, I saw the highest-ranking vice president who is also the CEO, Mr. Aiden. Miss Selina is also a vice president of Tianheng Holdings. So, if I may ask, is the chairman of the Tianheng Holdings Duke Eton or Miss Sunny?”
The reporters’ eyes were also burning with curiosity.
Originally, no reporter was willing to attend an auction in Jiang District because even if they did, they would not have anything trendy to write about. Usually, their entry would simply get cut off by the chief editor.
However, today’s auction was the most explosive throughout Jiang District’s history.
Just the headlines alone would probably remain on the front page for many days.
Everyone looked forward to Duke Eton’s answer.
Duke Eton smiled. “It’s supposed to be a secret. Yet, since you helped Sunny just now, I’ll answer you. The chairman of Tianheng Holdings is…”
Everyone’s eyes widened as they watched Duke Eton pause for suspense. Even Wu Pingping became nervous.
“Sunny.”
The guests, “…!!!”
Reporters, “…!!!”
Ling Pinyuan, “…!!!”
Strings of gasps echoed from the crowd.
The wealthy families of Jiang District shook their heads in disbelief.
