Chapter 325: The Right Stand (2/2)

The price continued to rise steadily to 2,000 dollars, then it further went up to 2,200 dollars

Li Du considered for a ain: ”2,250 dollars!”

By the tiure, there weren’t many contenders left Everyone liked the bracelets, but at the same time, they didn’t want to spend too much on them

The auctioneer’s arm swept over the crowd and he said, ”2,250 dollars, 2,250 dollars, 2,250 dollars, any higher bids? Don’t let 50 dollars block you froold bracelets If no one else is bidding then I’ll say 2,250 dollars once—”

”Two thousand three hundred dollars!” Marate called out in a loud voice

The auctioneer was overjoyed He pointed at Marate and continued his auction chant

Li Du gave it a thought again and said, ”2,500 dollars”

There was scattered applause around the church This was because this was a charity auction and the proceeds would be used to help church her bid price meant that more people could receive help

Marate htly louder voice than earlier: ”3,000 dollars!”

The applause became much denser and louder now, and many believers turned their heads in their direction

The obvious difference in treatht: the church was his turf Everyone would support hiner that they were unfa off fro The auctioneer shouted ”3,000 dollars” three times No one else made a bid He pointed to Marate and announced, ”This precious jewelry now belongs to this adorable young ratulate him with a round of applause!”

Because there was a lot of detailed e bid was 400 dollars, which was not too low The final deal price was 550 dollars The enthusiasm of the croas much smaller, but the price was still reasonable

The subsequent ite were mainly common household products and ordinary jewelry There were no expensive artworks on auction This was understandable, as the majority of the believers here were part of the ordinary working class

Li Du was not interested in the subsequent items, and therefore, he did not make any other bids and just looked on

He had positioned hi to the auction to simply be Sophie's coht or to donate much money

From his point of view, the charity auction was an internal activity of the church, which, to put it crudely, was none of his business If he wanted to show his compassion for hu at Li Du; when he noticed that Li Du did not even attempt to make any bids, he felt that he had finally found a way to defeat this rival!
