Chapter 27 Do you have to compete with me?
The person in charge of the auction seems to think he has mistaken it, so he asks in a trembling voice, "A million?"
"You have bad ears?" With a gloomy look, a boy in his early twenties probes half of his body out of the window of the box on the second floor and yells, "Sherry Green's design is unique in the world. It's worth 10 million. Let alone a million."
Then there is continuous discussion at the auction.
"It looks like the younger son of MS Group."
"It's the younger son of the Sam family called Nelson Sam."
"The Sam family and the Green family have always been on good terms. I hear that the Green family had intended to have their daughter marry to the Sam family."
"What you said is useless because the Green family's daughter have died. Is Queenie Gavin a friend of Sherry Green? I didn't expect that the Green family's daughter is so kind to people."
In the crowd's voice, Queenie Gavin shouts again before the person in charge drops the hammer, "One and a half million."
"Two million." Nelson Sam offers a higher price immediately.
"Two and a half million."
Queenie Gavin simply takes off her sunglasses Her somewhat red and swollen eyes stare at the dandy young man in the box on the second floor, with a look of opposition, "Nelson Sam, damn it, do you have to compete with me?!"
"I don't compete with you. It's a relic of Sherry. It's better for me to buy it and keep it as a memento than for those who don't know jewels to buy and waste them at a low price."
"I don't need you. I'm her best friend. I will buy all the jewels designed by Sherry today."
At the same time, Queenie Gavin suddenly turns around and looks at the right side of the auction block, and says in a loud voice, "Sherry made a wrong choice at the beginning to fall in love with a wicked person. After 18 years of reincarnation, she is the daughter of a prestigious family again, unlike someone who looks for his wife at a high price but marries another woman. Those who are not loyal to marriage will be reincarnated as stinky fish and rotten shrimp forever!"
Obviously Queenie Gavin is scolding Leo Bruce. Some people are gossiping the story of ungrateful Leo Bruce. Some other people are recording videos with their mobile phones.
Leo Bruce is on the right side of the auction block. His face turns green and he glares at the person in charge of bidding
That person in charge gives a tingle, immediately recovers and shouts, "Today, we will not discuss matters unrelated to the auction. Miss Gavin offers two million. Is there anyone else who wants to offer?" As soon as the voice falls, a lukewarm voice comes out of the box on the second floor, "Two and a half million."
Queenie Gavin frowns, "three million."
Hannah Joseph's eyes were moist, and she lowers her head to wipe away tears.
Lily Pons sees it, frowns and doubts, "what are you doing?"
Hannah Joseph takes a quick sniff, controls her emotion and says in a sobbing voice, "it is nothing. I think it's very touching. These two people are not related to Miss Green who has died, but they still help her."
"Look at yourself!"
Lily Pons gives her a disdainful look, but she is a little moved in a second, "But Miss Green is really very kind. I hear that Nelson Sam, the younger son of the MS group usually hangs around, but he thinks much of the ties of friendship, so does that little actor. He probably doesn't have much money. There are few people who show their love in times of trouble."
Hearing it, Hannah Joseph is even more upset.
It can be seen from Queenie Gavin's red and swollen eyes that she shed tears these days, but with her current identity Hannah Joseph can't go to find them as many eyes are fixed on her. While she is thinking about it, the price offer downstairs has reached nine million.
"Ten million dollars," Nelson Sam lies at the window, with a rare look of coldness,
"Queenie Gavin, you don't have to waste time. I'm going to have everything of Sherry today. How much money do you earn as an actress? You have to save money."
Hannah Joseph's eyes are tight. If it's normal, Queenie Gavin has to roll her sleeves to fight with Nelson Sam.
"Spend money like water flowing. Ten million..."
Everyone below the stage are shocked.
Without much happiness and anger in her red eyes, Queenie Gavin doesn't act as normal but glances at Nelson Sam. Then she returns to her seat and doesn't challenge him.
"10 million one time, 10 million two times, 10 million three times, the Sherry Green Designed Necklace is owned by Mr. Queenie Gavin."
The sound of the falling hammer of the auction is neglected. Hannah Joseph almost forgets her original intention of coming here. She watches Queenie Gavin leave the stage in a gloomy way downstairs, but she doesn't return to her mind for a long time.
At the end of the show is a collection of Sherry Green. Because it wasn't designed by her and she never wore it, there are many people competing for the price.
"Madam, this is what your husband asked you to bid for."
Fanny reminds her.
Lily Pons just glances at it but is not moved. "I really don't know what Bryant thinks. He knows that Mrs. Susan likes it but wants me to compete with her. Isn't that offending her?"
Hannah Joseph returns to her mind from the disturbance just now, ponders for a few seconds, and prompts, "Mom, dad doesn't mean that you should succeed in bidding for it, but that you should offer a price and behave as you like it very much. It's enough to meet Mrs. Susan at that time."
"Really?" Lily Pons frowns, "it's impossible. If Mrs. Susan stops bidding halfway, then I will..."
"At that time, you will take this opportunity to send it to Mrs. Susan. Anyway, Dad only asks you to talk to Mrs. Susan. If you fail to do it, I'm afraid it's hard for you to explain it to Dad."
It seems that in the past Lily Pons deliberately refused to talk to Mrs. Susan and forced Bryant Shahbaz to turn to his father for help. The method can't be stupid any more.
To avoid Lily Pons's foolishness, Hannah Joseph prompts, "You know Dad's temper. In case Mrs. Susan can't be dealt with, he may not be willing to yield to persuasion of Grandpa. If something goes wrong with the company, their relationship will be more rigid, and your situation will be embarrassing."
Hearing it, Lily Pons seems to be enlightened, with her eyesgradually clear, "Fanny, join the bidding."
Hannah Joseph looks light on her face, but she thinks to herself that Fanny can't please Mr. Shahbaz even if she stays at the Shahbaz family for the whole life.
Bryant Shahbaz told her to bid for it last night, but what he really stressed was that she could take an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Susan. She can't even do a small thing well. It's no wonder that Mr. Shahbaz is still indifferent to her although she has been in the Shahbaz's family for decades.
Lily Pons asks Fanny to offer a price at the window. The price is gradually lifted and there are fewer and fewer people who bid for it. When the price is offered at 7 million, there are only Mrs. Susan and Lily Pons who bid for the price.
When Lily Pons offers 7.5 million, the voice of bidding in the next box stops for a moment.
"Stop bidding?" Lily Pons is a little flustered at the moment.
After all, seven million is not a small amount. She really cherishes the money.
"Eight million!"
When a pure and elegant voice comes from the next room, Hannah Joseph is stupefied for a while.
Meanwhile Lily Pons loosens her breath. She is about to continue to bid when Hannah Joseph hurriedly pulls her sleeve and reminds her, "Mom, that is all right. If you bid again, you will really offend someone."
