Chapter 477 What a Scheming Man!

Elise was not as calm as she was during the first half of the auction. Instead, she stood up in excitementas she made her way to the railings. She held onto the railings with both of her hands before craning tolook downward. Her slightly childish voice had attracted the crowd’s attention as they lifted their gazetoward her

The guests on the second floor were usually wealthy or influential people, so the crowd was interested toreplace 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 hercompanions were all young men around her age whom they could not recognize, the crowd burst out inlaughter.

“Haha! Whose prodigal son—oh no, I mean prodigal daughter—is this? Which family allowed theirprodigal 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 youbid 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 outlaughing again.

And because of that, no one from the first floor increased the bid, and the bid price remained at 500,000throughout 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 asshe’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 wasabout 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 thateveryone could hear him clearly.

The crowd turned to the source of the voice to look at the second idiot at the scene. There, they sawKenneth, who was standing beside the railing looking down at the jadeite while holding a pair of whitegloves 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 thiskind of useless stone!”

Someone from the crowd teased in a loud voice, “How thoughtful is Mr. Bailey to willingly undertake thehumiliation 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? Lowlycreatures!” Celina defended Kenneth outspokenly and offended the majority of the guests at the spotwith her comment.

“Ha! It seems like Mr. Bailey has quite a number of lovers. But alas, there is a large disparity betweentheir 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 snobbishabout? 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 thelower 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, sothey 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 wantto be implicated in this argument between opposite genders. “Calm down, Celina! Kenneth is still lookingat the scene from upstairs, so don’t give him the impression that you’re a reckless woman! Those menare not whom you want to please, so don’t care about what they say. Remember this—only compete withthose 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 beembarrassing 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 heldCelina’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 doeshe 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 mefor 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 thatI’ll give in to you in this gem auction event? Sorry to disappoint you. I can return you the land but I’lldefinitely 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, MissSinclair. 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 alady?” 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, butthey 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 areindeed 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 thiswhile, spoke up behind Kenneth, “Given your identity, it will only bring this lady more trouble if youcontinue to be entangled with her. So please stop fighting with her. You’ve already done enough for whatyou 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 thestage 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!”
