The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1255

To no surprise, the wooden sculpture was not particularly valuable, and it was purchased for a modest 400 grand.

After that, Travis presented a set of porcelain tableware.

Frank nodded, seeing no flaws-even if nothing was catching his eye, the tableware was not fake, and it was sold for 150 million.

Up front, Travis breathed a sigh of relief since Frank was not speaking up it seemed that the painting was the exception.

As his mind was set at ease, he presented another item from his collection: a red coral crystal.

"Everyone, this red coral crystal is plucked from the South Sea," he said proudly. "It's a true rarity and worth a king's ransom, and I would never have sold it if not for extenuating circumstances.

"It is said to carry an aura and imbued with spiritrons-just keep it at your house, and it'll bring good fortune and promote longevity. And now, I will sell it for a billion dollars!"

"A billion dollars?!"

Travis' starting bid left the guests trading glances-it must be something special if the starting bid was already that high.

On the other hand, anger was showing in Frank's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"Promoting longevity... It's great, and I can even smell a whiff of sweetness that clears the mind from over here."

One of the guests nodded in approval but soon frowned. "But... a billion?"

Indeed.

Despite the red coral crystal being clearly valuable and despite Travis' mystical description, everyone knew that it was only a treasure if someone was interested. Otherwise, it was just a rock.

As for the mystical properties Travis described, it really was not worth the money to the guests present. The rock has its worth, but it was not worth a billion dollars. What they wanted was something that was worth the investment, and not mystical half-truths.

Naturally, Travis was a little anxious

as he saw that his guests were skeptical. "This rock is definitely harvested from the South Sea, and it cost me 600 millions. I've kept it with me for years, so I'd know its effects better than anyone. I swear it's something special, and definitely worth over a billion!"

Seeing that the others were not acknowledging the value of the red

coral crystal, Travis turned toward t

Frank. After all, Frank has the

sharpest eyes among them-if Frank sees the value and vouched dfor

Travis, Travis would certainly feel

more confident.

Noticing Travis stare, the other guests turned toward Frank too.

Frank mused to himself for a while and shook his head. "It's no gem-it's just a normal aquascape rock."

"What?!"

Travis gaped at Frank's comment, pointing a trembling finger at the

rock as he asked, "Please, Mr.

Lawrence... look again! It's crystalline and has a bright, reflective luster! How is it not a gem?"

Travis was right, and everyone was puzzled-it was a gem and would fetch over millions even if sold on that alone.

Why would it not be?

"Calm down," Frank said, silent for a moment and sighing. "It's no gem, but I'll take it. One billion."

"What?!"

Frank's words left everyone puzzled.

He first claimed that it was just a normal rock... but now he was taking it for a billion?
