Chapter 262: Head-to-head
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Terry Money was looking to purchase ‘Eternal Love’ for just 2.01 billion dollars—lower than its true value.
The necklace had last appeared almost five years ago. At that ti, the necklace had already cost five billion dollars.
Of course, inflation ant that its price would only increase, not decrease. Based on the auction house’s estimates, it should sell for seven billion at the very least.
Today, Terry Money was trying to suppress everyone else with his status. This ant that nobody else dared to make a bid.
Yet, there was nothing the auction house could do.
“Three billion!” That roaring voice ca from Zone A.
The audience turned to the voice, only to spot Finn Taylor.?‘He’s still fighting with Terry Money for ‘Eternal Love!”
“Rascal, are you tempting fate? I didn’t even pursue the matter earlier, but that doesn’t an you can do whatever you want. You can go ask around to learn about the Money family of Cupid Island.”
Since Finn Taylor had chosen the island as his honeymoon destination, he was obviously clear about the situation here. He knew that the most prominent family here was the Money family and that the family head and young master were Henry Money and Terry Money respectively.
The second most prominent family was the Gillies family, which had founded this auction house. The family head was Liam Gillies.
As the head of the most prominent family on Cupid Island, he always thought highly of himself and always took advantage of others. Moreover, he took pleasure in announcing his na while bullying others so that those he bullied would be so fearful that they would even give him a gift instead.
This was why Terry Money was so arrogant.?‘Yet, this guy—who ca out of nowhere—dares to rebuke ! Even after I announced my na and status, he still dared to go against ! How dare he!’
“3.01 billion. If you dare to voice out another bid, I’ll get soone to break your legs!” He had no intention of concealing his intentions and explicitly threatened the other.
“Four billion.” Finn Taylor acted as though he hadn’t heard the threat.
“Five billion.”
‘That man must be crazy! I’ve already said so much, yet he still dares to go against ! Great! This is great! I’ll use my money to defeat you then. Don’t you want to compete against for this item? Let’s see if you have more money than !’?As such, he made an offer of five billion dollars.
To be honest, this was no longer a sum he could afford. His father had to agree to spending that sum, yet he had to do so to uphold his dignity.
By now, Terry Money could no longer bother about such details. What he needed to do was to win the bid for the necklace to get back at Finn Taylor.
“Ten billion!” Yet, Terry Money had never imagined that Finn Taylor would offer double his bid!
‘Ten billion!’?Everyone’s eyes shot toward Finn Taylor.?‘Ten billion to buy a necklace? Who is he? Do the wealthy spend their money like this?’
“Eleven…” Now that he had co this far, Terry Money had no way out.
He was prepared to make another bid, but he hadn’t even finished his sentence before the manager cut him off. “Mr. Money, this price is a little high. Do you need to get permission from your father?”
It was obvious what the manager ant. Even if he were to make another bid, there was no way he’d be able to pay for it. Therefore, he had better ask his father about it before proceeding.
“Theodore Gillies…” Terry Money was left humiliated by the other’s words.
Although it seed like a reminder, what the manager truly ant was that Terry Money had no power to fork out such a huge sum of money.
In an instant, Terry Money wished that he could bury his head in the ground. However, he couldn’t deny that Theodore Gillies was right.
If he were to offer a higher bid and Finn Taylor gave up, his father would definitely break his leg for spending more than ten billion on a single necklace.
“Great, I’ll rember you. Just you wait and see.” Instead of offering a higher bid, Terry Money decided to leave. However, he didn’t forget to leave Finn Taylor with these vicious words before leaving.
Of course, Finn Taylor knew clearly that the other wasn’t kidding. Given Terry Money’s personality, he would definitely stir up trouble for the forr.
Eventually, ‘Eternal Love’ went to Finn Taylor for the price of ten billion.
The mont Finn Taylor put the necklace on his wife, the whole venue was in an uproar.
Many had learned about ‘Eternal Love’ being put up for auction this ti. As such, many won had co.
After all, it seed ethereal to own a necklace worth ten billion dollars, and now, it belonged to Yvette Larson.
Everyone looked at her in green-eyed envy. But no matter how envious they were, there was nothing they could do.
Of course, the one who felt the most upset in the entire auction house was Michael Young. He had deposited 150,000 dollars and would only get it back if he purchased an item at the auction. Yet, there was nothing that had cost below 150,000 dollars.
This ant that Michael Young hadn’t made a single bid throughout the auction. Now, it seed like he had just poured 150,000 dollars down the drain.
If he had been able to show off in front of Finn Taylor, losing this 150,000 dollars would’ve ant nothing to him.
However, the latter had managed to get into Zone A! Getting into Zone D paled in comparison!
Besides, he hadn’t dared to buy anything. On the other hand, Finn Taylor had bought ‘Eternal Love’ at ten billion dollars!
This difference was really not sothing he could describe in words!
…
Never Let Go boutique.
Both the boss and Jamie Little were stunned. They had both heard about how Finn Taylor purchased ‘Eternal Love’ for ten billion dollars.
Initially, the pair had even wanted to verify Finn Taylor’s background. After all, he was just a matrilocal son-in-law—he had no right to act so arrogantly.
But now, it seed like they were the fools instead.
Finn Taylor was nothing like what they had imagined. His background was much more complex than any of them could’ve imagined.
At that mont, Jamie Little swore to herself that she would definitely try to get into a relationship with Finn Taylor, even if she would only be his mistress. After all, it seed out of this world to even dream of interacting with soone as powerful as him!
…
At the auction house.
Finn Taylor and his wife were just about to leave when Theodore Gillies walked over, blocking their way. “Sir, Ma’am, our boss would like to have a chat with you!”
