Love at the Wrong Table - Season 3 Episode 24

“810, going once!”

“810, going twice!”

Just as everyone anticipated that the final piece of jewelry would go to the

Verkade family that night, the voice of the mysterious man resonated from

the VIP room, declaring, “1,600!”

This price instantaneously sent shockwaves through the entire venue! A

golden jade piece, intricately carved by Thomas Cline, had reached a

staggering value of over 10 million. It truly was an eye–opener!

Hubert clenched his teeth upon hearing that, but before he could react, the

mysterious bidder in the next room raised the bid on his own again! “2,000!”

he declared.

It caused a stir among the crowd in the auction hall and everyone was left

speechless in astonishment. This was what it meant to possess immense

wealth! Having money truly bestowed the power to do as one pleased!

Beatrix, who had been on edge, suddenly rose with excitement. What the hell!

Emmanuel was so cool! Noticing Hubert’s bitter expression as if he had just

swallowed a load of sh*t, she hurriedly captured the moment as she planned

to hang the photo on the wall for a good laugh! Most importantly, her sister

would find it immensely satisfying.

“Listen, Verkade!” Emmanuel’s excitement surged as threatened, “This golden

jade phoenix is a gift I intend to buy for my wife. If you dare to raise the bid, I

dare to keep pushing it higher! Give it a try if you don’t believe me!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the uproar in the venue abruptly turned

into silence. It was undeniably cool and awe–inspiring! Who was this young

man in the VIP room? Unfortunately, except for a few young individuals who

witnessed Emmanuel entering the room, the rest of the audience remained

clueless. On the other hand, Terence observed the scene with a satisfied

smile.

His grandson–in–law needed to possess a certain dominance to match his

granddaughter! Hubert, who had been boasting in public, couldn’t believe

what just happened. He had assumed that no one in Yeringham dared to

challenge him, yet he had unexpectedly been publicly humiliated! He never

fathomed that there would be someone audacious enough to put him to

shame in Yeringhaml However, despite the humillation, he was powerless to

retaliate. His father’s sponsorship was capped at 10 million, and he couldn’t

continue raising the bid.

“2,000, sold!” the beautiful auctioneer announced with a firm strike of the

gavel which brought an end to the intense bidding. Although the auction had

concluded, the audiences were still shocked after spectating the process.

“Was it sold for just 2,000?” Emmanuel, who was seated in the VIP room, was

also perplexed. This pendant, regardless of its material, didn’t appear to be

worth only 2,000 given its exquisite craftsmanship! The skimpily dressed

women were equally astonished upon hearing his words. Goodness gracious,

who on earth is this man? He just spent 20 million on a piece of jewelry and

still deems it cheap?

“That’s about right! I knew you could afford it!” Terence was delighted after

spectating what just happened. Spending 20 million for such happiness was

well worth it! For him, money was only a string of numbers that held no

significance if it wasn’t spent!

“Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to collect the item!”

“Uh, okay!”

Emmanuel still couldn’t believe that such a beautiful item was valued at only

2,000. He proceeded to the item delivery room to verify if paying 2,000 would

indeed allow him to bring it home. In the auction item delivery room, à

beautiful female staff member smiled enchantingly at him and inquired, “Sir,

may I ask what payment method you would like to use?”

“Can I pay via Apple Pay?” he asked.
