Chapter 322
“What about the chairman?” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“He’s at the meeting too!”
“Oh, alright.”
Nash’s heart began to race.
The only people he could borrow more than five billion dollars from were the Skyes.
Since Lucas and Theo were not around, it would be incredibly difficult to find that sum of money in such a small amount of time.
Melody cheekily said, “Is it that hard to admit that I’m better than you?”
Finn had a righteous expression on his face. “Can I say it in Mr. Nash’s place?”
“What fun is it coming from you?” Melody shot daggers at Finn.
Finn turned his head back angrily.
“9.3 billion dollars!”
“No. 89 raises the price by 100 million dollars!”
Selling that Gabriel only raised it by 100 million dollars, Jay guessed that his budget should be around ten billion dollars. Hence, he only raised the bid by 100 million dollars.
He did not fail to mock him, “Gabriel, aren’t you so wealthy and influential? Why did you raise it by so little?”.
He thought to himself, ‘You raised it by two billion earlier to scare me. Are you scared now?’
“9,999,999,999 dollars!”
Gabriel shot up.
He wanted to crush Jay.
If he could raise the bid, then he would give up.
“You asshole…!!
Jay angrily glared at Gabriel.
The two of them locked eyes with each other.
Gabriel laughed. “What else have you got?”
“Ten billion and five million dollars!”
Jay gritted his teeth.
His family had given him ten billion dollars, and the rest would come out from his own pocket.
He did not have much of a reputation in the Klein family. Just when he finally had a chance to help the head of the family with a big task, Gabriel had come to mess it all up. He could only painstakingly use his own money to get the job done.
Gabriel was stunned.
He never would have expected him to raise the bid.
The painting was nowhere worth ten billion dollars.
His grandfather was just really fond of collecting Damian Weinmann’s works.
Gabriel had pushed his limits just to fight with the Kleins.
“I’ll let you have it!”
Gabriel said indifferently.
“Ahahaha… You piece of sh*t, keep bidding! Can the Zuniga family not afford ten billion dollars?”
Jay was furious that he had lost his own money and began to curse to vent his anger.
“Ten billion and five million dollars to No. 89! Is there a higher bidder?”
The auctioneer put one hand on the auction table to support himself as he leaned toward the crowd.
Seeing that no one had the intention to continue increasing the price, the countdown began.
“Ten billion and five million dollars going once!
“Ten billion and five million dollars going twice!
“Ten billion and five million dollars going thrice!
“Ten billion and five million dollars!”
Just as the auctioneer raised the gavel, Nash raised his paddle and called out a higher bid.
At that moment, the crowd fell silent.
Who was it?
Who dared to raise the bid?
How could someone be raising the bid even when the second-ranked family in Capiton had to give in?
Could it be that the number one family in Capiton was present?
All eyes were on Nash.
“Who is that guy?”
“As if that’s a question. Obviously, it’s someone from the number one family!”
“That’s Nash… He’s the son-in-law of Harrison from Baroque Group!” someone in the crowd explained.
“Isn’t Mr. Kai the Lewises’/son-in-law?”
“They have two daughters in the family. Hubert’s daughter is Helena, and she’s Kai’s girlfriend. Hubert’s younger brother is Harrison, whose daughter is Hera. She’s Nash’s wife!”
“I see. What’s his background like?”
“I heard he came from a mountain!”
