Chapter 221 Chapter 221 Hubert refused to make way and even asked Beatrix, “Beatrix, do you lie Mr Cline’s jewelry 100? That's fantastic! I plan to purchase one for your sister tonight and perhaps another one for you. What do you think?’ Beatrix's curiosity was piqued, so she stopped walking and asked, “Oh, when did Mr. Verkade become this generous? Hubert, unlike his older brother, was an open book. Hearing that, he immediately responded with a proud smile, “My father and elder brother have agreed to sponsor the betrothal gift for the Quillen family. I know your sister has a fondness for beautiful things in golden hues. The highlight of tonight's auction will be a golden jade phoenix, and I'm certain she wil like itr "Oh, you truly understand my elder sister!” ‘Of course! I know Mackenzie better than anyone in this world,” Hubert proudly proclaimed.
Beatrix enjoyed indulging in gossip about love and romance. Instead of m revealing that her sister was already married, which would make Hubeny efforts futile, she decided to taunt him by saying, “But 'm afraid Mr. Verkade won't be able to secure it” “That's impossible! I will win t at any cost with the support of my father and elder brother! Consider this my bold declaration!” Hubert, who couldn't stand to be provoked, declared confidently.
“Wow, that's impressive We'll just have to walt and see!” Beatrix teased him further. In reality, Beatrix's family also had a stake in tonight's auction house.
where they would earn a commission based on the final price. If someone foolishly inflated the price. she could help her family make money. She suddenly felt quite clever.
Beatrix, come with me to the VIP room and see me in action tonight” Hubert didn't care whether Beatrix was willing or not and simply pulled her along. In his heart, he already regarded the mischievous young lady from the Quillen family as his future sister-in-law.
On the other hand, Emmanuel remained unaware that Beatrix and Hubert had also arrived. He had no idea that Hubert was planning to compete with Chapter 221 Golden Jade phoeni him for the golden jade phoenix. Furthermore, he never expected that his modest sum of 5,000 would be sufficient to win any bid in such a prestigious event. When he entered the room, Emmanuel was utterly astounded He was dumbfounded upon seeing a set of mahogany tea tables that were worth a few hundred thousand and the tea that was priced at thousands per pot in the VIP room. Not only that, there were also three striking models, each standing over 5.6 feet tall, donning short bodycon dresses that showcased their long and fair legs. However, Emmanuel didn't even spare them a glance.
He was unlike other men who couldn't take their eyes off them upon entering This frustrated the models, and it fueled their desire to challenge Emmanuel They deliberately teased him in various ways by employing every method they could think of. Emmanuel resembled a frightened cat who desperately avoided them, and he nearly fell off the couch Haha...” Terence, who observed this, chuckled proudly. He hadn't intended to test Emmanuel, as he already knew what kind of man his grandson-in—law was. “Alright, all of you, step aside. Don't bother my son-in-law!” As soon as Terence spoke up, the women walked away while pouting and they even thought that Emmanuel was pretending to be a gentleman by deliberately avoiding them Soon, the auction commenced. The VIP room featured a large screen displaying live footage of the auction, and dedicated devices were provided for bidding directly from the room.
Noticing some buttons on the table, Emmanuel couldn't help but ask, “What do these numbers here indicate?” There was a glint in Terence's eyes and he promptly replied after having already calculated everything. “Those are the buttons for bidding. Pressing “1° adds 100, and pressing “10° adds 1,0001" “On, I seer Emmanuel grew curious and asked, “Are the items being auctioned tonight truly that inexpensive? If a wealthy individual wishes to bid 10,000 or even 100,000 directly, how would they go about it?” “Well, I'm not sure either. I don't frequent places like this" Terence chuckled mischievously. Emmanuel had a feeling that something was off, but he trusted Terence as he was Mackenzie's grandfather Who family on numerous occasions. Surely, he wouldn't harm him, right?
