The Runaway Groom Chapter 101

Harvey had made the arrangement to force Isaac into making a higherbid.

Whatever happened, he would make sure to slice a fat chunk of moneyfrom that man, because it took one to know one!

It did not even matter if Isaac loved Irene-given the man’s usual style,he would never allow a portrait of his own wife to fall into a stranger'shands.

Moreover, it was proof that he was cucked, since Irene was pregnantwith another man’s child. The portrait was simply a reminder to Isaacthat she had been with another man, even bearing her child!

He had a hunch that once Isaac brought it home, he would tear it intopieces!

Meanwhile, the crowd was in utter chaos.

Everyone present was rich, but it was not as if their money was madeout of thin air!

Was that simple portrait worth over 41 million? They just could notunderstand!

Moreover, Isaac was a champion who would never suffer losses whenit comes to business, and the fact that he would spend that muchmoney to buy that painting made everyone properly appraise it.

On the other hand, Isaac could see what Harvey was up to, but he didnot mind it.

Money did not matter-the portrait mattered far more than that to him.

It was proof that their children existed.

“50 million,” he said, raising the bid, leaving the crowd gasping.

That was certainly far beyond what they would pay for that painting-andthey had already thought so at the starting bid.

Beside him, Irene was stunned to hear him make the bid, and sheturned to look at him. “It's not worth that much money.”

Isaac simply smiled and said nothing-worth was in the eye of thebeholder, and for him, that painting was priceless.

That was why he would spare no expenses!

At the same time, Harvey felt the corner of his eye twitching inconfusion.

He knew that Isaac would be eager to buy that painting, but for 45million at best!

That was why the man he had arranged to raise the bid just increasedthe bid amount by a million, so that he would raise it on his own.

He just did not expect Isaac to simply push it up to 50 million, anamount far beyond estimated!

Was he that vengeful a man that he would throw away all that moneyjust to settle a grudge?!

He hence announced the new auction amount, because he was eagerto see how far Isaac could go!

“51 million.”

Harvey tried to keep it low, while offering Isaac more space to raise thebid -he was a little afraid to mess up and shoot himself in the foot!Isaac certainly knew what Harvey was up to, but he could not careless.”60 million.”

Harvey lost all composure right then. “What's this, Mr. Jefferson?”Isaac leveled him an impassive look. “You sell, i buy. It's that simple.”"65 million,” Harvey snarled through his teeth right then-not caringabout making a show now!

“70 million,” Isaac replied without batting an eye. Harvey wasspeechless, and no longer had the courage to raise the bid.

He was a businessman who valued profit above all, and he could notafford to push when he did not have a read on Isaac at all.

Sure, Isaac was rich, but logically speaking, he should not be squandering his richesno matter how humongous his ego was.

"Sold!" Harvey declared, since no one would make any bids now.

Through it all, Irene was actually left confused as to what Isaac's intentions were.The portrait was never worth that much money, but she would not stop that man frombiting that bullet.

However, she could not abide with Harvey using her to con Isaac!

Right now, she had a child to raise, and Sheryl could not work.

She decided to take her cut. “Harvey, that's supposed to be my painting, isn't it? Whyare you auctioning it off instead?"
