THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTER 48. 550 million

***A Charity auction site***

The auction host smiled as he stared at Dian. Although Dian still wears formal work clothes in the form of a long-sleeved black blazer and a collared white blouse combined with a black span skirt, the host suggested that this antique keris could get an even higher bid price from Dian.

"This beautiful lady bids a hundred million for antique keris. Are there any other bidders?" ask the host while glancing towards Laura and Anastasia.

The pair of arrogant mothers and children who were still looking back stared intently at Dian, immediately throwing their faces away and facing forward.

Laura raised the number board in her hand. "One hundred and fifty million!" said Laura.

"Two hundred million!" Dian's voice from behind echoed and pierced into Laura's and Anastasia's mind.

If the two of them were not currently in a public place and were the center of attention of many people, the swearing of words from the mouths of Laura and Anastasia would have been reverberating in the charity auction room.

"Bad! Dian deliberately wanted to humiliate me!" inner Laura.

"Basin' fucking garbage! Richest dude! How could he possibly be two hundred million?!" the heart of Anastasia.

Laura and Anastasia suspect Dian is just nonsense, but moments later the faces of the two turn frantic. They remember Dian getting 50 million pocket money every month from Stefan. The same amount of money as them.

If the marriage counts eleven months, Dian has a total of 550 million pocket money. Although Stefan once said Dian did not ask for a single rupiah during the divorce, but they knew Luis was always on time to deliver cash snacks to Dian at the beginning of each month.

Laura and Anastasia can think about pocket money because this charity auction uses Laura's pocket money that is set aside every month.

While Anastasia's pocket money is used up every month. What else is the amount of his salary cut by Adi Bramasta because of hot rumors about him that made the stock price of Bramasta Company plummeted.

"Two hundred and fifty million!" laura said as she gritted her teeth.

"Three hundred million!" dian said casually while raising the signboard in his hand.

Laura turned her head towards Dian and looked at him sharply, with the intention of warning the young girl. Dian replied with a small smile, then gave a sparkling look to the antique keris that was on the stage.

Dian's attitude made Laura's anger and annoyance reach the crown, while Anastasia held Laura's hand tightly. The face of the sister not knowing herself was already pale like the color of paper.

"Ma! Hurry up again! I can be in my grandfather's bun*h if the antique keris is gone" Anastasia said in a trembling voice.

It was originally Anastasia who persuaded Laura to bring out the antique kris secretly to the charity auction site without Adi's knowledge.

Their plan was supposed to go very smoothly and only needed to spend fifty million to buy antique kris and also clean up the bad image of Anastasia lately.

The two of them did not expect Dian to appear at the private charity auction and it was obvious the young girl was deliberately fighting them.

"Sia! Mama's savings are only a hundred million" complained Laura.

"Come ma! We can't lose to that trash," Anastasia said.

Anastasia's words hit Laura's heart. The prestige and arrogance that was ingrained in Laura's body made her determined to defeat Dian.

Laura took a deep breath to calm the panic of her heart.

"Four hundred million!" laura shouted in a loud voice.

This time the invited guests and also the host stared at Laura with shocked expressions. They had not expected Laura to buy back the donated items at the price of 400 million.

If previously the first price offer of 50 million from Laura could still make sense, but now it looks clear Laura and Dian are bidding each other to get an antique kris.

"alright. Four hundred million! Does the pretty lady want to bid even higher?" ask the host.

"Four hundred million one time!"

"Four hundred million twice!"

Laura and Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief thinking the storm had passed.

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

This time Laura and Anastasia no longer looked back because they were both already convinced the voice was coming from Dian.

Feelings of resentment, anger, and panic mixed in the hearts of Laura and Anastasia. There was no longer any hope for them to get an antique kris because all of Laura's savings were not enough to bid higher than 550 million.

"Five hundred and fifty million once!

"Five hundred and fifty million twice!

"Five hundred and fifty million three times!" The voice of the host echoed in the auction room accompanied by the knock of a hammer on the table one time a sign that the object had already succeeded in the auction.

"Welcome, miss number 77 managed to get an antique kris. All money from the auction will be donated to orphanages in need" the host said.

Billy turned his head towards Dian who was smiling satisfied with the happy mood.

"Princesses. Five hundred and fifty million for that old keris? Is it worth?" asked Billy curiously.

"Keris is a hereditary heirloom of the Bramasta family. Do you think it's worth it or not?" Dian asked Billy.

Billy's mouth opened wide for a moment because of Dian's words, then his eyes went to the two arrogant women in front there who were clearly sitting unsettled as if there were needles in their seats. Even Laura took the phone out of her handbag and called someone.

"They're both stupid or have no brains?" billy asked spontaneously.

Billy is sure no one will believe Bramasta's mistress and young miss auctioned off a family heirloom just to fix a bad reputation in public, but it is indeed a reality he sees now.

"Both!" Dian gave a definite answer to Billy's question earlier.

Dian followed closely the movements of Laura and Anastasia. The young girl was sure the two arrogant women would definitely prevent her from picking up the antique dagger.

Dian can't wait for the drama of the show that will appear in the near future.

Twenty minutes later the charity auction was over. Invitational guests who successfully purchase auction items are welcome to enter the VIP room for payment administration and retrieval.

Billy accompanied Dian into one of the VIP rooms that had been prepared. Laura and Anastasia entered the room shamelessly.
