What a Scheming Man!
Elise was not as calm as she was during the first half of the auction. Instead, she stood up in
excitement as she made her way to the railings. She held onto the railings with both of her hands
before craning to look downward. Her slightly childish voice had attracted the crowd’s attention as they
lifted their gaze toward her.
The guests on the second floor were usually wealthy or influential people, so the crowd was interested
to find out who was the lady who had such good taste.
However, upon realizing that the woman who made the bid was a stranger to them and that her
companions were all young men around her age whom they could not recognize, the crowd burst out in
laughter.
“Haha! Whose prodigal son—oh no, I mean prodigal daughter—is this? Which family allowed their
prodigal daughter to come here and embarrass herself?”
“She has an exquisite look, but alas, she’s ignorant and even lacks basic knowledge. Hey, young chick,
do you even know what high-quality jadeites look like? Only those with a pale surface are valuable. If
you bid this piece of stone back, I’m afraid your father will be driven mad by you!”
A man stretched his neck and pretended to be ‘kind’, which immediately caused the others to burst out
laughing again.
And because of that, no one from the first floor increased the bid, and the bid price remained at
500,000 throughout an entire minute as the crowd continued laughing at Elise.
Elise glanced across the hall and smiled in a self-deprecating manner.
If only she had known that no one would increase the bid, she would’ve asked for 300,000 directly as
she’d be able to save 200,000.
Elise almost had the game in her hand, and even Johnny, who was on the stage, wore a smile and was
about to congratulate her.
Just then, a cold male voice emerged from a room at the right and broke the silence.
“880,000.”
The voice was deep yet rich, and the volume was just loud enough to travel across the entire hall so
that everyone could hear him clearly.
The crowd turned to the source of the voice to look at the second idiot at the scene. There, they saw
Kenneth, who was standing beside the railing looking down at the jadeite while holding a pair of white
gloves in his hand.
Elise frowned as she had a bad hunch.
Meanwhile, Celina was engulfed by jealousy downstairs. “It’s Kenneth. Why did he start bidding too?”
“Faye, your sister even bewitched Kenneth. She’ll definitely become the laughing stock by buying this
kind of useless stone!”
Someone from the crowd teased in a loud voice, “How thoughtful is Mr. Bailey to willingly undertake the
humiliation for the sake of a pretty girl!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you think Kenneth is of the same kind as you jerks? Lowly
creatures!” Celina defended Kenneth outspokenly and offended the majority of the guests at the spot
with her comment.
“Ha! It seems like Mr. Bailey has quite a number of lovers. But alas, there is a large disparity between
their ranks just like how one is seated on the second floor while the other is on the first floor!”
“Exactly! She’s already downgraded to the first floor just like us, so what is she still being snobbish
about? Does she really think of herself as Mrs. Bailey?”
“Although the lady upstairs is a prodigal, at least she has an attractive look. As for this woman on the
lower floor, anyone who takes her in would be doing an act of kindness already. Hahaha…”
Men typically liked dirty talks when they gathered together. In addition, Celina had just insulted them,
so they did not show mercy all the more and abused this socialite of Landred City as if she was
worthless.
Celine was boiling in anger and was about to retort when Faye quickly stopped her as she did not want
to be implicated in this argument between opposite genders. “Calm down, Celina! Kenneth is still
looking at the scene from upstairs, so don’t give him the impression that you’re a reckless woman!
Those men are not whom you want to please, so don’t care about what they say. Remember this—only
compete with those in the same league and don’t waste time arguing with insignificant people!”
Hearing that, Celina nodded in all seriousness. “You’re right. I shouldn’t argue with the insignificant
ones. It’s not worth being angry with those idiots! Luckily you’re around, Faye. Otherwise, I would be
embarrassing myself in front of Kenneth!”
Faye smiled stiffly. “Don’t mention it.”
Yeah, you nearly embarrassed me too! Do you even have a brain? You’re even more stupid than a pig!
Of course, Faye wouldn’t possibly convey her true feelings. After sorting out her emotions, she held
Celina’s hand again and resumed the intimate state between them.
At that moment, Elise increased the bid again tentatively, “900,000.”
“980,000.” Kenneth glanced toward Elise with subtle scorn in his eyes.
“1 million.”
“1.2 million.”
Elise furrowed her brows. This guy easily gave out a piece of land worth 90 million before this. Why
does he want to fight me over this now?
Elise really wanted to bid this item personally to humiliate Faye.
“Mr. Bailey, what about giving this gem to me?” Elise asked with a smile.
“I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. I have my eye on it too. I’m so sorry for not being able to fulfill your wish,”
Kenneth replied with a polite smile.
Elise’s eyes darkened. “This is just an ore and it’s not even some rare gem. Why do you want to fight
me for it?”
Kenneth answered, “Since that’s the case, why do you want to fight for it, Miss Sinclair?”
Elise gritted her teeth. “There’s no need to explain to you. Or, did you give me the land previously so
that I’ll give in to you in this gem auction event? Sorry to disappoint you. I can return you the land but I’ll
definitely not give away something that I’ve had my eyes on.”
Kenneth was startled for a moment and wore a subtle smile thereafter. “You’re very discerning, Miss
Sinclair. But you’ve already accepted the land, so you naturally have to give up on this ore.”
What a scheming man. He actually set me up! I should ask Alexander to beat him up when he comes!
“Hey, you fellow! Have you heard of ‘ladies first’?! Aren’t you embarrassed fighting over something with
a lady?” As soon as Danny said that, Elise shouted sulkily, “4 million!”
The crowd on the first floor could not make out what the bickering on the second floor was about, but
they heard Elise’s yell as clear as day.
This woman must have lost her mind to spend 4 million on an obviously useless ore! Rich people are
indeed arrogant!
The crowd wondered which wealthy family in Landred City actually raised such a spendthrift.
After shouting the price, Elise gazed toward Kenneth with an arrogant and threatening look.
Looking downward, Kenneth wore a resigned expression and seemed to heave a sigh.
“Kenneth.” Just then, a shrewd woman dressed in a modest office suit, who had remained silent all this
while, spoke up behind Kenneth, “Given your identity, it will only bring this lady more trouble if you
continue to be entangled with her. So please stop fighting with her. You’ve already done enough for
what you should do.”
Kenneth furrowed his thick eyebrows.
All he wanted to do was to snatch the raw ore away so that Elise would not be embarrassed…
But given Elise’s stubbornness, she obviously intended to fight with him until the end.
With one hand placed on the railing, Kenneth looked downward at Johnny, who was standing on the
stage and still waiting for the former to increase the bid as he had not grasped the situation yet.
After remaining silent for a moment, Kenneth decided to give up eventually.
His eyes darkened as he spoke in an inherent victorious voice, “This jadeite belongs to Miss Sinclair!”
