Chapter 1730 It’s Yours
Nicole was not involved with the wedding arrangements and was shocked when she saw it. Even though she had
attended many elite weddings and had seen many customs of the gentry, she felt that this wedding that Clayton
planned was a mix of freedom, wildness, opulence, and joy.
It had completely exceeded her expectations. The public did not know about their wedding, nor was any of the
media invited. Everyone who attended the wedding was advised to put away their phones to enjoy the ceremony.
Thus, the outside world did not know that Nicole and Clayton had gotten married. The married Nicole felt no
different from her unmarried self, so she happily accepted the status quo. One day, Nicole was working at the
office. Yvette ran over with great enthusiasm and dragged her to a private auction.

auctioned inside were treasures collected by the elites. This auction was held every once in a while.

money from others because it would make them lose their reputation. Thus, this kind of auction was equivalent t o

hesitated if she should go. “There’s nothing I want though…” Yvette said, “You haven’t spent any money lately.
Are you still the Nicole Stanton that I know?” Nicole was speechless. Yvette went up to her. “Let’s just go and check
it out! I heard that there’s a jadeite stone there. Didn’t you always like to collect these things?” “Really?” Nicole’s
eyes lit up. Yvette nodded.
“Why else would I be so excited to come to you?” Nicole could not help her curiosity and followed Yvette over. The
auction had already started, and their seats had long been reserved. The two ladies sat down.
It was dark all around, and everyone was looking down a t the tablet’s screen to check on the bidding from time to
time. The atmosphere was quiet yet tense. Nicole took a look.
The bid for that piece o fjade had not started, but it would start soon. They were now bidding on another item. The
atmosphere was really tense. Yvette had a great eye. This piece of raw jadeite stone was transparent and brilliant.
It was indeed a very rare gem. a The starting bid was $20 million, a price that was not considered low which

Thus, she did not hesitate to raise her bid. $21 million. $22 million Nicole did not make another move after that and
watched as the numbers on the screen changed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached $35 million. Nicole placed another bid for $40 million. This price was already
not low. If it went any higher, Nicole felt it was not worth the price. After all, this kind of raw stone was beautiful, but

Fortunately, no one raised the bid again. Yvette looked at Nicole excitedly from the side. “Awesome! It’s yours!”
Nicole laughed. She could not hide her happiness and curled her lips. She was thinking of what to do with this piece
of raw stone.
Nicole already had an idea. She swept a glance at the next few bids and did not like anything she saw, so she just
gave up. She took her bag and was ready to go to the back to make the payment.
Yvette naturally wanted to have a glimpse and followed Nicole. When Nicole was making the payment, the person
at the auction house recognized her and smiled. “Congratulations, Ms. Stanton.” Nicole nodded and said with a
smile, Thank you.”
a She took out a card from her bag and handed it over. The attendant respectfully took it and went to swipe it.
Yvette swept a glance and casually asked. “Is it Clayton’s card?”
