Mocked by Quentin and urged by Georgia, how could Brian endure this? This was about his marriage; he couldn’t afford to mess up. Even if he got scolded by his elders, he would accept it. After all, this was about his dignity and a significant event in his life. So many people were watching him make a fool of himself. If he backed down now, wouldn’t that make him look even worse, like a coward? Besides, he had already come this far with Quentin. If he retreated now, how could he ever hold his head up in their circle again? Not being able to compete with a stray dog? How humiliating! If he backed down now, he wouldn’t be able to face anyone.
“I’ll add another million!” Brian gritted his teeth and shouted.
“I’ll add another million too,” Quentin said casually. “I don’t care; I have plenty of money right now. But you, Brian, must be running out of funds. If you raise the bid again, I’ll have someone verify your assets. You can try.”
Brian’s face turned pale. Thirty-one million was already his limit! He had even included his one million pocket money. If they verified his assets, wouldn’t that be a public humiliation?
He looked at Georgia. “Transfer me two million first!”
Georgia was stunned. “Are you crazy? You’re buying the necklace for me, and now you want me to give you money? Are you out of your mind?”
Brian’s face grew darker. He was stuck in a difficult position with so many people watching him. Now he was really making a fool of himself.
Seeing Brian remain silent for a long time, the auctioneer struck the gavel and announced loudly, “Thirty-two million, once!”
“Thirty-two million-twice!”
As the auctioneer’s voice fell, Brian’s face became even more unsightly.
Georgia glared at Brian angrily. “Brian, you useless man, raise the bid! What are you afraid of? Hurry up! That stray dog is about to get Eternal Love!”
“Do you want to see that bitch Charlotte riding over me?”
Her eyes were filled with grievance and anger.
“Shut up!” Brian roared, glaring at Georgia before turning and leaving.
The burning anger in his chest almost made him cough up blood.
“You dare yell at me?!”
Georgia was furious. This coward used to obey her every word, and now he dared to yell at her? He had really grown some nerve!
She grabbed Brian and pulled him back. “You explain-”
Brian turned around, his eyes dark with anger, and slapped her hard.
“Slap-”
The loud slap echoed through the room!
Georgia stood there in shock, touching her burning cheek. She was almost in tears!
Brian roared, his eyes wide with rage. “Are you not embarrassed enough?”
This woman was truly useless and only made things worse. She had completely ruined his reputation. He even had the urge to strangle her.
It was the first time Georgia had seen Brian so angry. She didn’t dare throw a tantrum anymore and could only swallow her pride.
Quentin laughed. “Brian, didn’t you just call me poor? Now I’m giving you a chance to bid against me, and you’re backing down?”
Hearing Quentin’s taunt, Brian was so angry that he gritted his teeth. His chest tightened, and with a loud sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
His face turned pale instantly…
Clenching his fists tightly, his eyes were filled with coldness. He turned around without saying a word and muttered, “Let’s go!”
A group of people left in disgrace.
After today, the news of Brian being so angry that he spat blood because of Quentin would spread throughout Stresall!
This was stepping on Brian’s dignity and grinding it into the ground!
But what could he do now?
He only had so much money and couldn’t compete with Quentin. He could only accept being trampled on today.
“Thirty-two million, three times!”
With the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, the ownership of this auction item was finally settled.
