Chapter 149

Bang!

The auctioneer hit the hammer excitedly and announced, “The mister at Table No.12 offered a bid priceof twenty million. This old precious sword is indeed fascinating!”

“Damn it!” Seated at Table No.2, Yuna gnashed her teeth hatefully.

Charlie gulped and said, “Keep calm, Yuna!”

At Table No.12, Jonah drew close to Moira and whispered, “Moira, what exactly does your niece’sfather do? He offered a price of twenty million without even hesitating!”

Moira, who was equally stirred up, took a deep breath and shot a cold glance at Jonah. “Firstly, pleasestop addressing me by my first name. Secondly, he’s not Heidi’s father.”

“Moira… I admit that I was wrong just now, but you have to understand that Yuna is…” Jonah wore abitter expression.

Moira stared at him with a disappointed yet sarcastic look. “Why are you still sitting here then? Aren’tyou afraid to implicate your family?”

“I…” Jonah avoided Moira’s stare and glanced at Jacob.

I can’t possibly tell her I made a bet that this man seated at the same table as us has the confidenceand power to intimidate Yuna, or even the entire Fest family.

Meanwhile, Jacob was not bothered by the dispute between his cousin-in-law and the guy who seemedlike her boyfriend. After indicating a price of twenty million, Jacob ignored the gazes and discussionsfrom the other guests and focused on feeding his daughter fruits.

As time passed, most of the guests shifted their gazes to Yuna as they were eager to replace out whetherthe young lady of the Fest family would offer a higher price, and if she did, would the mysterious youngman at Table No.12 offer an even higher price.

Perceiving the gazes of the others, especially the intent stares from the old foxes at Table No.1, eventhe usually haughty Yuna could feel her heartbeat accelerating as her palms were coated with a layerof perspiration.

Truth be told, twenty million wasn’t a big sum for the Fest family, but if she offered a higher price just towork off her feelings, it wouldn’t be a matter of money but her egoism.

After pondering for a moment, Yuna heaved a sigh as the crowd continued staring at her. At the sametime, her domineering aura was diminished.

This is humiliating!

She forced herself to remain cool on the surface, but deep down, she was burning with rage andembarrassment.

Damn it! How dare this guy shame me in front of such a huge crowd?! I’m not done with him yet!

Simon shook his head apathetically at Table No.3. Yuna Fest, I didn’t expect you to back out at thiscrucial moment. This is disappointing!

On the other hand, Benny, who was seated at Table No.1, retracted his gaze from his daughter andraised his right hand slowly after nodding. “Thirty million.” He said nonchalantly.

What?! This is unbelievable! I must be hearing things!

Most of the guests were dumbfounded.

What’s wrong with the richest man in Paramount? Not only is his daughter acting recklessly, but evensomeone reputable like him is jumping on the bandwagon.

Wait a minute, this is not an act of impulse.

Moments later, some of the guests understood the situation. It didn’t matter if Yuna was ashamed, butthe Fest family couldn’t be ashamed!

The auctioneer on the stage too was flabbergasted.

Never had he thought that someone would offer a whopping thirty million just for a one-thousand-year-old antique sword. Not only that, the buyer who offered the price was none other than the organizer ofthis charity auction!

Willow, who was seated at the same table as Benny, gazed at him with a frown.

Narrowing her eyes, she asked nonchalantly, “Do you mean it, President Fest? Are you aware of whoyou’re competing against?”

“What do you mean, President Milgrim? I just suddenly found favor in that ancient sword, so I’d like tobring it home.” Benny lifted his brows with a slightly surprised countenance.

Ha! What a poser! The other big bosses seated at the same table sneered inwardly.
