My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 321

This was Artful Prosperity Auction House’s auction record.

The rule of the auction was to take 10% of the earned profits as commission.

Four billion was 3.97 billion dollars more than the starting price. Hence, the auction could earn nearly 400 million dollars in commission.

“Five billion!”

“Whoever that dares to bid next will make an enemy out of the Kleins!”

No. S9’s tone was cold as he scanned the audience; no one dared to make eye contact.

No. 36 hesitated before giving up.

Xeno sweated profusely as he looked at Nash and said, “Mr. Nash…”

Nash asked, “How much money do you have?”

“About three billion.”

“Then increase the bid by five million.”

“But… they’re the Klein family!” Xeno timidly said.

He could lend the money to Mr. Nash. However, they would be in trouble with the Klein family if they kept bidding.

Even the Skyes did not dare to get on bad terms with the Kleins.

How could he dare to provoke the Kleins as a mere follower of the Skyes?

Nash snatched Xeno’s bidding paddle, held it up, and said, “Five billion and five million!”

No. 89 glared at Nash.

Anyone who could bid that much money must be from a prominent and affluent family.

Since Kai was from an affluent family, they should know the power of the Kleins.

How dare he bid against them?

“No. 99 bids an additional five million dollars! The current bidding price is five billion and five million dollars!”

The auctioneer glanced at Nash with discomfort.

Who was this person?

He was aware that the other party was the Kleins and yet still dared to bid. His courage was unmatched.

“Six billion dollars! Son, if you dare bid again, I can’t guarantee your safety!”

The man’s tone was laden with threat.

Everyone present could feel their skin crawl.

No one dared to question the power of the Kleins.

Nash stopped bidding.

It was not because he was afraid but simply because he had run out of money.

Melody leaned over and whispered, “In addition to the 3% of shares in Universal Group, I still have a net worth of 20 billion dollars. Admit I’m better than you and I’ll lend you five billion!”

Nash calmly said, “You underestimate me!”

He immediately pulled out his phone and called Theo.

“Seven billion dollars!”

The man in the fedora calmly held up his paddle.

The number struck everyone with surprise.

The entire venue fell silent.

Seven billion dollars was too much.

Not only that, but it was another person who dared to provoke the Kleins.

“Gabriel, are you ready to make an enemy out of the Kleins?”

No. 89 coldly looked at the man in the fedora.

The Zuniga family was ranked as number two in the Ten Families of Capiton.

The power between the two families was not much different.

When the Klein’s Great Ancestor was sealed away, their family kept a low profile.

The Zuniga family must have thought that they were dead, so they now dared to provoke the Klein family.

“Don’t embarrass yourself if you can’t afford it!” Gabriel calmly said.

He then raised his paddle and added another billion, “Eight billion dollars!”

If he was just provoking the Kleins earlier, then he was undoubtedly challenging them now.

No one had even said anything before he raised the bid.

He was rubbing their faces in the dirt.

Jay’s handsome face turned red from anger. He gritted his teeth and said, “Nine billion dollars!

Gabriel frowned slightly.

He deliberately raised the price twice to give Jay the illusion that he was going to win.

His family’s budget was within the range of ten billion.

Nine billion dollars was cutting it close.

He did not expect that Jay would hinder him like this.

If he gave up, his grandfather would place the blame on him.

If the bidding price were to increase, he would have to increase it by at least one billion to avoid embarrassment.

“9.2 billion!”

After hesitating for a moment, Gabriel added another 200 million dollars.

The wealth of the Ten Families did not come from thin air. He could not squander it just for the sake of appearances.

On the other end, a polite female voice came from Nash’s phone. “Mr. Nash, Mr. Skye is attending an important meeting abroad. I’m afraid he won’t be able to get back to you any time soon!”
