Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Beautiful Things Should Go to Beautiful People

Adam did not push people too hard. He readily agreed, then his gaze fell on Brandon and Abigail in the front seats. “But if you want revenge, you need to act quickly. After all, that one is not easy to deal with. If the Second Young Master finds out or if Abigail finds out… I heard she is Lincoln Green’s biological daughter.”

Ruby’s hand trembled, hitting a sore spot. She forced a smile at Adam. “Don’t worry, Master Adam. Although that fat girl is Lincoln Green’s biological daughter, unfortunately, she doesn’t receive any of his love. Not only that, but this time her taking away the Woods Lineage shares has also angered the old man. He resents her.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Adam naturally knew some of this and was very satisfied.

Ruby was still worried that Adam didn’t believe her. “Because that fat girl caused her own mother’s death, Lincoln Green has always hated her. So, since childhood, he did not favor her. Ever since my mother and I entered the Green family, he has doted on me. Compared to Abigail, I am the one Lincoln Green truly loves.”

“Of course, our Ruby is so lovely.” Adam said, lifting Ruby’s chin with a long finger pressed against her mouth. “Shh, the auction is about to start.”

“Mm.” Ruby’s legs went weak from Adam’s action. She muttered a dazed “Mm” and turned her head to look at the stage.

The host had already finished introducing the preface of the charity auction at some point and was now introducing the items to be auctioned. The pink diamond, as large as a duck egg, was scheduled for later.

Listening to the host’s introduction, Ruby thought about how Adam said he would auction the pink diamond for her. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself and had to lightly pinch her palm with her nails to keep herself from losing composure.

She could almost imagine it. As long as Adam spent a fortune on that pink diamond for her today, she would undoubtedly wear the crown specially prepared by the sponsor tonight and become the most dazzling woman at the entire charity gala.

And tomorrow, after those socialites in Gills City who used to laugh at her, what right would they have to compare themselves with her?

As for the Stone family, they would not be spared sooner or later!

Thinking of these things, Ruby felt a surge of strength, and even her left leg stopped hurting.

Just then, the host announced, “The auction has officially begun!”

Brandon leaned back in his chair, casually crossing his legs, not showing much enthusiasm for the auction.

Abigail looked through the auction catalog. She wasn’t overly obsessed with the pink diamond but had her eyes on a surgical knife.

As “Surgery of Flowery Kingdom” magazine had organized the charity gala, naturally, it couldn’t be entirely unrelated to surgery. This set of surgical knives, aside from being of good quality, had no other special characteristics.

The reason they were up for auction was that they belonged to Abigail.

Yes, they were her surgical knives.

As a surgical prodigy, in her three years at Sincere, she never had a failed case under her knife. After her death, her surgical knives became valuable memorabilia.

Abigail found it somewhat amusing. During her lifetime, she had numerous nicknames, such as the Genius Girl, the Medical Prodigy, and the Surgical Master. Yet, after her death, a set of surgical knives she had used for years ended up at a top-tier auction.

And no one ever inquired about the reason behind her death?

She used to think it was sudden death. But the lab’s various clues made her start to suspect her death.

Moreover, how did her surgical knives end up here?

Thinking of this, Abigail instinctively looked for Jeffrey Foster’s figure but was stopped by Brandon. “What are you looking for?”

“Nothing. Do you know why Dr. Smith’s surgical knives have become auction items?” Abigail pointed to the surgical knives in the picture.

“Oh, Old Mr. Smith donated them. Apparently, he didn’t want to see anything related to his granddaughter and surgery.” Brandon explained. Seeing Abigail dazed there, he frowned. “Do you like them?”

Abigail nodded, then shook her head as her eyes reddened, almost shedding tears. Her grandfather did not like her switching to surgery when she was alive. Now, the whole world knew she had died suddenly in the surgical room. He must be even more heartbroken.

“Are you okay?” Brandon sensed something wrong with Abigail and asked softly.

Abigail pinched the flesh of her palm hard to avoid showing too much emotion. Her eyes still had a hint of redness.

Brandon thought of something. “I forgot you were friends with Dr. Smith. How about we also bid on that set of surgical knives later?”

“No need.” Abigail didn’t know how to describe her complex feelings. These were her surgical knives, a gift from her most esteemed mentor at Yale upon graduation.

She had always carried them with her.

She was used to performing surgery with her familiar tools. But hearing Brandon’s words, she didn’t know whether she should take back this set of surgical knives.

She had always disappointed her grandfather over the years.

Brandon noticed the chubby girl’s uneasiness and said no more. The host then announced the start of the auction, first showcasing the first item.

It was a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi period, of excellent quality.

After a round of bids, an elderly collector from Gills City purchased it for three million.

After a few more rounds, it finally came to the pink diamond.

The host grandly introduced the origin and value of the pink diamond, then unveiled its mysterious veil, starting the bid at fifty million.

Ruby had been waiting for this moment, her eyes intently fixed on the pink diamond.

She had known from the introduction that the diamond was huge, but nothing compared to seeing it in person.

The etiquette girl displayed it on a tray.

When it came before Abigail, despite being mentally prepared, she was momentarily stunned.

She knew the pink diamonds on the hem of the engagement party gown were of extraordinary value, though they were fragments, pretty but purely decorative. But this diamond was different.

It was her first time seeing such a large diamond, moreover a rare pink diamond, with excellent quality and high purity. It shone brightly in the tray, almost blinding her with its beauty.

Abigail never considered herself a vulgar person. But at this moment, she had to admit that no matter what kind of woman, at any age, could not resist such glittering things.

And she was no exception.

Brandon seemed to see through Abigail’s thoughts, the smile on the corner of his mouth widening.

And Ruby’s eyes were even more fervent than Abigail’s.

She not only wanted the pink diamond at this moment but also the attention of the crowd.

As long as she got this pink diamond tonight, she would be the most eye-catching woman in the entire venue. So, the look in her eyes at the pink diamond was filled with greedy determination.

“Master Adam, this is really too beautiful!” Ruby’s eyes were full of longing.

Adam provocatively glanced at Brandon in the front row. “It is quite beautiful.” He said deliberately, pausing for a moment, then emphasizing, “Beautiful things naturally deserve to be with beautiful people, right?”

“Thank you, Master Adam.” Ruby sensed Adam’s implication, smiling in response.

Abigail heard it clearly but didn’t care much. If beautiful things should be matched with beautiful people, then shouldn’t all beautiful things in the world belong to Brandon?
