Chapter 598 At that moment, a typical Viennese man came over and said with a somewhat flattering smile, “President

Sawyer, you’re here.”

However, Nicholas only gave him a cold nod in response.

The man didn’t mind, and he turned to look at Tessa. There was a flash of amazement in his eyes as he

asked politely, “Is this your girlfriend?”

“This is my fiancée, Tessa.”

As Nicholas said so, he placed his arm around Tessa, and there was a hint of warmth on his cold face.

At once, the man sensed the change in Nicholas; thus, he paid a little more attention to Tessa.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Reinhart.”

“Pleasure is all mine.”

Tessa responded elegantly and politely.

Gregory also greeted the man politely while standing beside her.

After a brief talk, the auction was about to start.

The man personally led Nicholas and the others to the auction site and arranged for their seats to be in

the front row.

Not long after they were seated, an emcee came onto the stage to announce the official start of the

auction.

After seeing several precious musical instruments of great value on auction, only then did Tessa realize

that this auction turned out to be an auction of musical instruments,

“No wonder.”

Nicholas couldn’t hear Tessa’s murmur clearly, so he leaned closer to her and asked, “What’s the

matter?”

“I thought it was a little strange when I saw quite a few well-known musicians at the site just now, but

now that I see the items for auction, I don’t think it’s strange anymore,” she explained with a smile.

Nicholas smiled when he heard her words and said nothing as he continued to watch the auction with

her.

One by one, instruments created by famous luthiers were auctioned off.

There were flutes, pianos, cellos…

Ar the finale of the auction, when it was the turn for the last piece of musical instrument, the emcee said

excitedly on stage, “This final item for auction has a hundred years of history. In addition to its

significance collection purposes, the more important thing is its sound, which is truly one-of-a-kind!”

The hostess carefully held a violin case on stage for display along with the emcee’s words.

“Looks like I guessed it right; it’s a Stradivarius violin.”

“I’ll definitely get my hands on this violin tonight.”

I’ll fight for it just for its unique sound.”

Everyone around them whispered in low voices.

When she heard those chatters, Tessa suddenly had a faint guess in her mind.

Is it possible that Nicholas has brought me along tonight because he wants to bid for this particular

violin?

When she thought about that, she couldn’t help but tilt her head to glance at the handsome and

charming man beside her.

When Nicholas noticed her gaze, he turned to look at her and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Tessa was startled for a moment before she shook her head and said with a smile, “Nothing.”

Although she had her suspicions, she was afraid that she was overthinking it-and that it would make

Nicholas misunderstand and think that she wanted the violin.

She didn’t know that he had already seen through her, but he maintained his silence so as not to expose

her thoughts.

He looked at Tessa affectionately, held her hand, and continued watching the auction.

At that moment, the emcee on the stage spoke again.

“It seems that everyone has recognized the origin of this violin, so I won’t bother all of you with the

introductions. Now, I announce that the auction of the Stradivarius violin will officially begin with a starting

price of two million.”

As soon as the emcee finished his words, many people began to raise their bids.

At that instant, Nicholas also raised his paddle and said, “Three million.”

His actions took her by surprise.

“Nicholas…”

Initially, she wanted to tell him not to spend so much money, but before she could finish her words, she

received a reassuring look from him.

There was nothing she could do but swallow her words.

The auction continued.

“Three and a half million.”

“Three-point eight million.”

“Four million.”

The bidding continued until it arrived at the next figure.

“Five million.”

The initially competitive bidding seemed to have paused for a second as no one followed the bid for a

while.

After all, five million was already a sky-high price for a Stradivarius violin.

When the emcee saw no one else bidding anymore, he spoke again, “Five million once; is there anyone

else who wants to increase the bid?”

The place fell silent.

Tessa also heaved a sigh of relief.
