Chapter 31 He Lost

Osborne stared icily at Wesley, his anger and murderous intent towards him skyrocketing.

But he didn’t say anything, just raised his paddle again. “Nine million dollars!”

“Ten million dollars!” Wesley sneered. “The timing is perfect. My grandfather’s 80th birthday iscoming up. This longevity herb will make the ideal birthday gift.

“You useless fool, don’t you still have 50 million dollars? Let’s keep going and see who’s got deeperpockets!”

Osborne chuckled and ignored Wesley. He raised his paddle again. “12 million dollars!”

“Thirteen million dollars!”

“Fifteen million dollars!”

Osborne and Wesley were locked in a bidding war. The price quickly approached 20 million dollars,far surpassing the value of the longevity herb. The other bidders had all thrown in the towel.

But not Osborne or Wesley. They both had their reasons for not giving up.

Chapter 31 He Lost

Osborne needed the herb to save Anastasia’s life. Therefore, no matter the cost, he had to win.

On the other hand, Wesley was driven by pride and the desire to cause trouble for Osborne.

Osborne was Ophelia’s ex–husband. There was no way Wesley could be indifferent. Wesley mightnot have cared if Osborne had always been a nobody.

After all, why would an elephant care about an ant?

But Osborne had repeatedly made him lose face, especially in front of Ophelia. Wesley wasthoroughly provoked.

Even though he knew the longevity herb wasn’t worth 20 million dollars, he was dead set oncompeting with Osborne, refusing to back down an inch.

However, Wesley’s expression grew increasingly sour as the price continued to soar.

Because Osborne had just bid 25 million dollars, and he didn’t show the slightest sign of backingdown or feeling the pinch.

“This damn bastard!” Wesley began to lose confidence.

His situation was similar to Ophelia’s. Although he was an heir to a wealthy family, he didn’t holdabsolute power under the thumb of The Wise Order.

Wesley hesitated to make another bid.

Osborne remained calm throughout, even when he saw Wesley

hesitate.

He chose not to provoke him because he genuinely needed the longevity herb.

He was worried that if he pushed Wesley too far, Wesley might go crazy with bidding.

Even though Osborne had 150 million dollars in his account, it was still a far cry from the wealth ofthe Ashford family.

Luckily, Wesley backed down in the end.

The frantic bidding war concluded, and Osborne secured the herb for 25 million dollars.

When the herb was finally in his hands, he breathed a sigh of

relief.

Now, he could save Anastasia’s life.

However, one longevity herb wasn’t enough to ensure her safety, and Osborne hoped to acquiremore.

Fortunately, another longevity herb soon appeared on the auction block.

This time, it was a 400–year–old longevity herb known for its life–extending properties. Wesley waseager to regain his pride and immediately bid over ten million dollars.

No one else dared to compete already when the price reached 15 million dollars.

Wesley couldn’t help but smirk at Osborne. “You fool, this herb is far more potent than the one youbought. You spent 25 million dollars while I only spent 15 million dollars. You must feel pretty stupidwasting all that money, right?”

Osborne responded coldly, “You’re celebrating too soon. Who said you’ve already won this herb? Ihaven’t bid yet.”

With that, Osborne raised his paddle. “Twenty million dollars!”

Wesley was shocked. He looked at Osborne in disbelief. His whole body was trembling with rage.“You! You! You!”

“Mr. Ashford, enough with the stammering. Are you going to bid or not? If not, I’ll gladly take thisherb off your hands.”

Wesley was furious. “Of course, I’ll keep bidding! I’ll offer 22 million dollars! If you have the guts,keep up. Even if I don’t win, I’ll make sure you burn through all your money!”

Osborne chuckled, “As you wish. Twenty–three million dollars!”

“I’ll bid 24 million dollars!”

“Twenty–five million dollars. If you want to keep going, be my

guest,” Osborne said, looking at Wesley provocatively.

5/6

Wesley snorted and stopped bidding. He calculated Osborne’s finances, noting that the 20 milliondollars Osborne extorted from the Caldwell family and the 40 million dollars from selling the slots

were all spent.

If he bid again, he would defeat Osborne and win the herb, but Osborne would retain 25 milliondollars.

Wesley sneered, “If you’re willing to spend all your savings to win, I’ll let you have it! But now thatyou’re broke again, I hope you won’t regret it later.”

Osborne simply smiled. He was unperturbed.

Godfather had rewarded him with 100 million dollars, which he hadn’t touched yet.

Wesley wanted to see him broke? Dream on.

Osborne smoothly acquired the second longevity herb. Though he spent 50 million dollars, he wasfinally at ease.

He smiled at Wesley, “Mr. Ashford, the auction is almost over, and I’ve spent 60 million dollars, but itseems you haven’t spent a dime. According to our bet, you must submit to me and acknowledge meas your superior.”

Wesley’s face turned ashen.
