“Quentin?”
“Is he crazy? Does he really think he’s still the eldest son of the Howard family?”
“Daring to bid at this price!”
“Exactly, the Howard family is bankrupt, and this guy still can’t face reality. I think he’s done for. Malicious bidding can land him in jail!”
“What an overconfident fool…”
The bankruptcy of the Howard family was well-known throughout Stresall.
Now, as soon as Quentin appeared, many people started mocking him, convinced he couldn’t possibly come up with such a large sum of money.
Brian was also stunned to see Quentin actually dare to bid!
Twenty-five million?
He almost burst out laughing!
Could this guy really come up with that much money?
Trying to trick him? Did he think Mr. Parry was that easy to fool? Too naive!
Now, it was his turn to trap Quentin!
Thinking of this, Brian immediately shouted, “I demand a capital verification!”
“I suspect this guy doesn’t have twenty-five million and is maliciously inflating the price!”
“Disrupting the auction rules!”
“If he doesn’t have the twenty-five million after verification, he’ll go to jail!”
Brian shouted.
Hearing this, Charlotte became extremely anxious and tightly gripped Quentin’s hand.
“Why did you really bid? Just for a moment of pride? He’s trying to trap you, don’t you see? How could you be so impulsive?”
“What if you end up in jail?”
“Besides, I already said I don’t need this thing; it’s useless!”
“Don’t worry. Do I seem unreliable? Nothing will happen!”
“I said I would give it to you, so I will! I keep my word!”
Quentin’s tone was calm.
Seeing his calm demeanor, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, thinking about Quentin spending so much money to buy her this Eternal Love, she felt both sweet and pained.
She couldn’t deny being happy; after all, what girl wouldn’t like receiving a precious gift?
But she couldn’t be entirely happy…
After all, it was over twenty million dollars, just for a necklace…
Charlotte had experienced hard times and couldn’t treat money as dirt. In her view, this amount could buy many other valuable things.
A man in a suit walked down from the stage and approached Quentin. “Sir, our auction house requires capital verification now. Please cooperate.”
Quentin said nothing and handed over a card.
The man took the card backstage and returned shortly after, handing the card back to Quentin. He then stood straight and announced loudly to everyone:
“After verification, this gentleman’s bid of twenty-five million is valid!”
The crowd was in an uproar!
Quentin actually had twenty-five million?
Where did he get the money?
Brian was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. What was going on?
Quentin looked at Brian mockingly. “Brian, really? You can’t even play this game? You need capital verification? If you’re that poor, why are you even here?”
Quentin’s disdainful words made the whole room burst into laughter. Everyone looked at Brian with amusement. Indeed, Brian seemed quite ridiculous now.
A complete clown!
Utterly disgraceful!
Brian’s face turned pale with anger, as if he had been slapped hard!
“Twenty-six million!”
Squeezing out these words seemed to take all his strength!
This was beyond his budget; twenty-six million was several million more…
It pained him deeply!
All because of this guy, forcing him to raise the price!
“Thirty million!”
Quentin’s indifferent voice rang out again, causing everyone to hold their breath for a moment!
Thirty million?
This guy…
Was he really treating money like dirt?
Brian nearly fainted…
The Parry family had given him around thirty million in total! How could he compete?
Moreover, if he bought this Eternal Love for thirty million and tried to sell it later, he’d likely lose a fortune!
If the Parry family found out he spent thirty million on this thing, they’d probably tear him apart!
“Mr. Parry, if you can’t afford it, sit down and stop embarrassing yourself.”
Quentin’s tone was calm but highly humiliating.
Brian’s face turned white with rage!
“Bid! Brian, you coward! Are you really scared of him? I’m telling you, you must get this Eternal Love, or where will my face go?!”
Georgia shouted unwillingly, “Bid now! Hit him hard with money! Brian, are you deaf?”
“Please, hit me with money,” Quentin taunted. “If you really have the guts, maybe you can do it. Good luck, but don’t end up in jail!”
