Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Not as Good as Mine
Justin Callahan considered that since he was already here, he might as well shout out a bid.
He wanted to let a few assistants who didn’t have foresight know his worth. Anyway, the color and clarity of this rough stone were surely good, and eventually, someone else would bid it up and take it.
So, after another person bid, he raised his card: "One billion."
Yes, his face didn’t redden or heart didn’t pound.
Just glanced at July Quinn and Kyle Keaton from the corner of his eye.
It was as if he was proudly telling them: "Look, this is my capability. To casually bid a billion, and still be calm and collected. It’s a power you can never match as assistants or planners!"
Unfortunately, July Quinn didn’t look at him; her attention was on the rough stone on the stage.
After examining it several times, she said: "The color and clarity are quite average, not even as good as mine."
As she spoke, she touched the headband on top of her head.
Because July Quinn didn’t deliberately lower her voice, the three people near her all heard it, inevitably drawing their gaze to her headband.
On it were several giant diamonds, the largest about five centimeters, nearly a hundred carats.
Very dazzling, very eye-catching.
But also because the size was too large, the color and clarity were better than ordinary diamonds.
So, no one believed they were real diamonds and just considered them as cheap market decoration stones.
Justin Callahan looked at July Quinn’s forehead with that exaggerated diamond headband, clearly also assuming July Quinn’s diamonds were decoration stones.
So, upon hearing her words, he couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
In his heart, he cursed: "God is truly fair; you see he gave July Quinn nearly perfect features, yet made her blind."
Nina Quinn had similarly thought so.
So after glancing at July Quinn’s face with that headband, she couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.
When July Quinn returned from the countryside wearing this diamond headband, she ridiculed her quite a bit.
Of course, even now Nina Quinn still doesn’t believe the diamonds on that headband are real.
Look at the few giant diamonds on it, adding up to around three to four hundred carats.
Just now, a diamond rough able to cut out 30 carats had an auction price of over a billion.
If July Quinn’s diamonds are real, wouldn’t this headband be worth tens of billions then?
Who would be foolish enough to wear tens of billions worth of jewelry on their forehead?
So much money that there’s nowhere to spend?
But July Quinn from the countryside, who barely knows a few characters, what kind of money can she have?
So, naturally, Nina Quinn classified July Quinn’s recent words into one of the top ten jokes she heard.
As for Kyle Keaton...
Well, actually, he hadn’t paid much attention to July Quinn’s forehead headband just now.
After all, her lovely face was far more beautiful than those dazzling diamonds.
But at this moment, since July Quinn suddenly mentioned it, he glanced at that headband.
Yet that glance changed his expression subtly.
His rich experience immediately allowed him to recognize that the diamonds on July Quinn’s headband should be real.
And as she said, her diamond’s color and clarity were better than the rough stone being auctioned.
Looking at it this way, the headband casually placed on her forehead could be worth tens of billions.
Most importantly, such carat diamonds are rare even domestically.
For July Quinn to set such giant diamonds on her headband, without a private diamond mine, it absolutely couldn’t be done.
Kyle Keaton truly realized that the wife he accidentally married in this small Westmarch town was nothing short of extraordinary.
But even if she still refused to reveal her identity, Kyle Keaton had enough patience to wait for her true identity to be uncovered little by little...
At this time, the auction of that diamond rough stone was coming to a close.
Holly Houston announced after the auctioneer’s final hammer, "Congratulations to Mr. Jett for acquiring this diamond rough stone for 1.3 billion."
"A rough stone with color and clarity so poor can sell for over a billion; looks like mine could be worth even more."
July Quinn was muttering to herself, then turned her head only to find Kyle Keaton’s gaze hotter than before.
"What’s up?"
"Discuss it when we get home tonight."
"Discuss what?"
"You!"
July Quinn: "..."
She suspected Kyle Keaton of speeding, but had no evidence.
Fortunately, it was time for July Quinn’s most desired auction item — Ghost Flower...
