###Chapter 451 Those Who Have To Wait At The End of The Years – Part 5
It seemed that there are at least hundreds of people in the said auction.
Ivelle looked around and saw that the surroundings were covered with black cloth. She couldn't help but wonder and asked. "What's all around here?"
She lowered her voice and said. "It is the treasure of the town shop of many collectors in Hempstead. When the auction begins, the black cloth will be torn apart and show these treasures to those who come to participate in the auction."
She nodded and was quite amazed. This is the first time Ivelle has ever seen an auction like this.
Her cell phone vibrated and when she checked the caller ID, it was Felix. When she picked up the phone, he said immediately. "Ma'am, please come to the front row."
As soon as she was stupefied, Ivelle consciously looked at where he instructed her to sit and saw Felix standing near the auction table in front of her. She couldn't help but say. "I can sit behind this."
He answered her. "Boss Astley arranged it for you, so you'll have a better view in the front row."
Looking aside at Kyle, she naturally saw Felix and excitedly said. "If you sit in the front row, you can see the auction items clearly. After all, the main point of this event is to get a general understanding of the rich people in Hempstead."
As she said that, she looked at Ivelle with puppy eyes. "Ivelle, I know Boss Astley arranged for you. Please take me too." As she said that, she tried to appear cute to persuade her friend.
Facing the phone, Ivelle didn't know what to say for a moment. She thought about it and said. "Felix, I'm with Kyle. Is that okay to bring her with me in the front?"
Felix was stupefied, then nodded in agreement. "Yes!"
She couldn't help but say thank you as she hung up the phone and looked at Kyle who was looking forward to their arrival in the front. "Let's go there together!"
If not for a large number of people presented that kept quiet, at this time Kyle would've shouted excitedly.
Fortunately, she couldn't make any noise, so she could only cover her mouth and whispered merrily. "That's great, Ivelle."
Ivelle only smiled in return and went to the front row with her.
In the hundred years since the founding of the people's Republic of Spain, both the law and school teachers told them that they should do things fairly and justly. That the country officials and countrymen should be fair and just in treating anyone, and that people must maintain a fair and unbiased way of getting along with each other.
But think about it carefully, in fact, they have no way to enjoy fair and just rights from birth. When they go to school in childhood, teachers will prefer to teach those children who learn well. As for the members of society, the distinction between the three socio-economic classes even became clearer.
For example, at this time of the auction, they are all in the same area. However, the people who afford and rich enough to purchase expensive tickets are in the front row. They are more comfortable and relaxed. Aside from that, the auction management also provided fruit and drinks for them while the people from the back row weren't privileged enough to receive such treatment.
People's social class was divided into three; the upper class, middle class, and lower class. People from each class are often treated differently.
As they sat in the front row, Felix changed the plates for Ivelle and Kyle, and then gave Jordan's wife a black card.
She was a little confused and looked at him in confusion. "What's the matter?"
He opened his mouth. "Boss Astley said that if you have anything you like, just call it. This card is enough for you to use."
"Fuck me!" On one side, Kyle could not help but swear. "Boss Jordan is blatantly showering you with money."
When she looked at Felix, she said. "How can you stand it?"
Felix raised his hand and touched his nose. He coughed faintly with a shy smile on his face. "I'm used to it!"
Kyle gave him a thumbs up and praised him. "Hero!"
As she looked at them, Ivelle couldn't help but say. "Don't bullshit me. I don't need this card. I just came to see how it's like here. I don't intend to buy anything."
Everything in this auction starts at millions of dollars, but Ivelle can't say that she's not interested in collectibles. Even if she likes something, she won't spend so much money on a bunch of antiques she can't appreciate.
She's not elegant enough to appreciate the hobbies of people from higher social strata. It's not interesting, too. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes as she stuffed the black card in her hand to Felix. He didn't answer but just said. "Miss Ivelle, take it. Boss Astley specifically asked me to give it to you. If you don't need it today, you can use it anytime in the future."
Knowing that he won't take it back despite her vehement refusal, she knew that she can't persuade him anymore. Also, she's already there, might as well use it.
After the host on the auction table spoke a lot of implicit languages, it began.
The first item at auction is a Gold Headdress Tassel, which is said to be the favorite item of the Imperial Concubines of the Ancient Dynasty.
Kyle puckered her mouth and said. "Only the Preston family dares to auction cultural relics so blatantly."
Ivelle didn't quite understand these. She looked sideways at her and asked. "What's the matter?"
She raised her hand and pointed to the Classical Tiara Hairpin. "Most of the things from the Ancient Dynasty that can be handed down have been taken away by the museum, Such a beautiful Classical Tiara Hairpin is still in the hands of the Preston family, and it is still put up for auction. Isn't it ironic that this is still here instead of being in a museum? As long as the Preston family was hailed as an influential family, the relevant institutions have long been founded by them, gave them a certificate of honor worth nothing, and then gave them a bonus of 500 dollars. This thing was blatantly taken away. Look at how arrogant the Preston family is. I don't know how many years this thing has been in their house, and now it has been put up for auction so brazenly."
As she listened to the repeated quotations from behind, she whispered. "Listen carefully, the price is ten million. If you put it in the hands of ordinary people, you can't have more than 500 dollars."
Ivelle pursed her lips and sighed slightly. 'There are some rules that we can't change.' She thought.
The higher you climb, the higher you stand out the more you have seen things that are out of the stream. If you are not careful, it is easy to be complicit and help you to do evil.
In the end, the golden tiara was sold to an elderly man at 10 million.
This kind of thing is already a common occurrence for the wealthy.
No wonder they always have a strong desire and greed for power and money.
The second item for auction is a set of blood jade. It is said that the Preston family went to Venezuela to do business in the 1990s, and Father Mu brought it back from Venezuela for his beloved wife.
Fortunately, although this jadeite is a good quality of stone jade, it was only sold for the price of 5 million dollars because of the lack of credible background.
Felix could not help but frowned as he looked at it. It was as if he was immersed in his thoughts and looked thoughtful.
Ivelle felt a little bored watching the auction, so she couldn't help but chatter with Kyle.
Kyle's eyes raked around the whole auction venue, and she has seen almost everything she can see.
As she pulled her to introduce Ivelle to the items collected on both sides of the auction hall, she sighed and mumbled in a low voice. "Wow, these collections are tens of millions of best things. These collectors are powerful tycoons. Estimated, these things are all ten millions of dollars, a little or even pricier to say the least."
Ivelle looked around, quietly agreed with her, and said. "If someone deliberately gets something to take away an item today, they will probably pay for it for the rest of their lives."
Kyle curled the corner of her mouth, looked at Ivelle speechlessly, and said. "You're right. Let's see. These things are greatly taken care of and can be regarded as treasures that are made of extremely hard diamonds. Next to these items, two experts are watching with their vigilant eyes. Normal people can't get close to them at all, and these things are checked by professionals every five minutes. "
It's hard to steal. Anyone who would dare to would be intensely troubled.
"Here comes the sandalwood box. Look!" Kyle looked at the auction table, patted Ivelle, and said.
She looked back at where Kyle urged them to and sure enough, there was a box on the auction table the same as the one Ivelle's grandmother gave her.
The host stood on the stage and vividly introduced the source of the sandalwood box. "You must be wondering why we included auctioning this box with an ordinary design, workmanship, and even materials, right?"
