"Mr. Jefferson, congratulations on winning the bid for this perine purple ginseng Mc Grant cald dear fr has already footed the bill for you, so you don't need to pay again, a mad member mated with a mile. sounding a tad envious.

Nevertheless, shock predominured in her eyes.

They understood Maggie pretty well, thus knew that she had both beauty and brains. In just the entire Nebula City, her suitors could form a line from the western to the eastern coast Alas, the never took a fancy to any one of them.

Not only that, but they also knew that she would heartlessly ignore those rich heirs every single time they wanted to approach her.

However, she favored Alex greatly. As such, they couldn't help feeling both surprised and amazed as they stared at him.

Glancing at the two staff members, Alex inquired smilingly. "Although Ms. Grant said she'd foot the bill for me, she has yet to pay the seller, yes?"

At his question, one of the staff members instinctively nodded. Just when she was about to speak, abruptly realized that she had made a mistake and immediately shook her head instead.

Alex chuckled, for the answer was clear as day to him. Smiling, he continued, "Convey my thanks to Ms. Grant, but I'll pay the hundred and twenty million myself. I'll be paying by card, so please bring over the POS terminal."

Seeing that he actually wanted to fork out a hundred and twenty million by himself, not only were the two staff members stunned, but even Stuart and Takeshi wore expressions of shock. Stuart and Jacob, in particular, were floored.

Isn't he the Jennings family's live-in son-in-law? How could he afford to cough out so much money? Don't tell me he's showboating again?

The two of them nodded, both dead certain that Alex was trying to act rich.

Hah! He must have expected Ms. Grant to foot the bill for him, thus just uttering a token remark by offering to pay by himself! This b*stard is really shameless!

Naturally, they had no idea that Alex didn't want to owe Maggie any more favors.

If it weren't for Maggie's insistence on paying on his behalf, he wouldn't decline.

"Mr. Jefferson, please allow me this opportunity to do something for you!"

Distress inundated Maggie when Alex said that he wanted to pay by himself. She went over to the railing and called out to him.

She truly wanted to buy it and give it to him as a gift, but his continued disregard of her sincerity had utter sorrow flooding her.

When everyone present heard Maggie's words and noticed the sadness marring her countenance, they were all the more astounded.

Good Lord! The high and mighty heiress of the Grant family is actually imploring a live-in son-in-late to allow her to foot the bill for him! This is simply unprecedented! Is he really the live-in son-in-law of the Jennings family? Is he truly a mere live-in son-in-law?

In that instance, they were all extremely bewildered.

How could someone whom Ms. Grant favors and cares about so greatly possibly be just a good-for-nothing who lives off of a woman?

Anyway, countless people no longer believed that Alex was a live-in son-in-law at that moment.

He must have some unique identity unbeknownst to us!

"Master, if you insist on paying, Maggie will definitely be devastated," Auriel whispered at that exact

moment.

Alex swung his gaze at Maggie, who was likewise looking at him then.

When he glimpsed the infinite desolation in her eyes, an inexplicable trace of guilt welled within him. Having no other choice, he nodded and uttered, "In that case, I thank you, Ms. Grant."

While saying that, he took the top-notch purple ginseng. Then, he stood up and walked out with Auriel. Stuart and the others promptly followed after him.

No sooner had Alex exited the auction hall than he halted in his tracks, for a stone's throw away were seven or eight burly men who surrounded him with vicious expressions.

As he swept a look over them, a derisive look glinted in his eyes.
