Chapter 34 Julian Is Playing Tricks

Benjamin remembered that his grandfather liked Mr. Quimby’s pottery very much, just as much as he liked Ezra’s paintings.

This time, he didn’t ask his grandfather about it Anyway, it was something Grandpa liked Even if he had to spend tens of millions of dollars on it, it was still his filial piety

His grandfather might feel slight pain for Benjamin to spend so much money, yet the former would still praise him for his filial piety

As for Julian, Benjamin didn’t believe that he, who had just spent more than 75 million dollars impulsively earlier, would still spend more money to fight over the pot with him.

When the price of the pot was raised to 4 5 million dollars, Benjamin directly bid for 75 million dollars.

Everyone gave up when the price increased by 3 million dollars in one go.

They seemed to show respect to Benjamin. After all, he was the future heir of the Quigley family, the richest family in Horington

7.5 million dollars once!” the auctioneer raised his hammer and shouted

Benjamin looked at the pot and silently hoped that Julian would fight over it with him.

The last painting was priced at 75 million dollars set by his grandfather, so he couldn’t bid for a higher price This time, it was different. He didn’t even tell Grandpa about it.

If Julian fought with him, he would keep crushing the former to take revenge.

This time, he was willing to spend tens of millions of dollars.

7.5 million dollars twice!” the auctioneer shouted excitedly again.

There was still no other bidder.

“7.5 million dollars”

Before the auctioneer could finish his words, someone shouted for bidding

Julian had taken action.

He bid for 12 million dollars.

“Awesome!”

“I wasn’t sure before, but now I’m very sure that he is helping Annalise to vent her anger. He doesn’t fight with other bidders. However, whenever Benjamin makes an offer, he will go against him immediately!”

“He’s so handsome, I want to have a boyfriend like him.”

“You can’t be jealous. Annalise has saved the earth in her previous life.”

“What should I do? I like his story with Annalise so much. They are exactly like Prince Charming and Cinderella.”

“Haha, I saw Benjamin’s face turn livid again.”

Hearing such discussion again, Benjamin frowned and bid 15 million dollars decisively

He was humiliated by Julian on the painting earlier. This time, he had to seek revenge.

Julian then bid 22.5 million dollars.

“Oh my god! That’s a lot of money. A one-off increase of 7.5 million dollars. Who is that young master?” someone exclaimed.

Benjamin’s face became even grimmer, and he bid 30 million dollars.

When Julian raised another 7.5 million dollars, Benjamin would follow and bid 7.5 million dollars. Otherwise, it would seem that the latter was less capable.

Julian glanced at the stage and bid 45 million dollars calmly.

An increase of 15 million dollars at a time.

Hearing that, more and more people started talking about it

They felt that the collection at the charity gala that night was not the highlight. Instead, the biggest show was actually the bidding between an unknown gentleman and the eldest son of the Quigley family.

Seeing Julian raise the bid by 15 million dollars, Benjamin’s heart tightened a little, and the sense of suffocation and humiliation crushed him.

He immediately gritted his teeth and bid another 60 million dollars.

Julian raised 15 million dollars at a time immediately. If he bid a few hundred thousand or a few million dollars, he would be embarrassed.

He didn’t want to lose regardless.

Julian raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted for 75 million dollars.

There was a mentally unsound person at the scene. Seeing someone bid 75 million dollars for a pot, he suddenly reached out to cover his heart and immediately took a life-saving pill.

Seeing that Julian had bid 75 million dollars, Benjamin was a little overwhelmed.

His eyes narrowed, and suddenly an idea slipped through his mind. “Is this trash trying to crush me all the time? Even if I can’t afford it, I won’t let him take any advantage of it,” he mused.

Anyway, he was already humiliated enough today, so he might as well just raise the price.

If he could trick Julian badly, he could at least take revenge against the latter.

At that time, if someone laughed at him for not being able to bid anything successfully, he would be able to respond that it wasn’t because he couldn’t bid anything. It was because he knew very well the value of those collections. He would take it as a charity for doubling or tripling the original value of the collections, But if the price was raised eight or tenfold beyond it, whoever bid it would be considered a simpleton.

He believed that as long as he explained it that way, everyone would think that the man beside Annalise was a stupid simpleton, and they wouldn’t think that Benjamin had shamed himself.

*75 million dollars once!’ the auctioneer shouted enthusiastically on stage.

Benjamin bid 90 million dollars decisively.

He guessed that with Julian’s self-righteous and competitive personality, the latter would definitely bid 105 million dollars.

By that time, he could mock Julian and call him an idiot when the latter bought a pot for 105 million dollars After all, everyone knew very well the value of Mr. Quimby’s pot. Even if they went directly to him to buy the pot, it was at most 4.5 to 7.5 million dollars. If Mr. Quimby happened to be in a good mood, one could even buy a whole set of pots at 750 dollars.

“90 million dollars once,” the auctioneer shouted excitedly through the microphone on the stage.

He felt that his auction experience on that day could be recorded in the history of the auction in Chanaea. Ezra’s painting, which was worth about 4.5 million dollars, was sold at 78 million dollars. Now, Mr. Quimby’s pot, which was worth about 4.5 million dollars, was bid to a sky-high price of 90 million dollars.

“90 million dollars twice,” the auctioneer shouted again.

Benjamin panicked. He would be scolded terribly even if he bought the pot at 75 million dollars, let alone the price had already increased to 90 million dollars now.

He immediately turned his head to provoke Julian, “Why? Are you not going to raise the price anymore?” Julian raised his good-looking eyebrows. “Does it have anything to do with you whether or not I raise the price? Oh, I see. You wanted to see me be ruined by the pot. That’s why you deliberately raise the price, didn’t you? Oh my gosh, I almost fell for your trick! I was just about to bid for 105 million dollars. Forget it. I’ll be generous and let you have it.”

Julian deliberately placed his hand on the bidding device. Then, he retracted it in front of Benjamin. *90 million dollars thrice! Congratulations to number 122, Mr. Quigley,” the auctioneer shouted excitedly

Julian said to Benjamin with a faint smile, “Congratulations!”

Benjamin immediately turned his head around and cursed Julian in his heart.

Looking at the dark side of Julian, Annalise felt gratified for some inexplicable reason.

“In a good mood?” Julian saw Annalise holding the curling the corner of her lips and asked with a smile. “Not bad,” Annalise replied.

Julian smiled gently at her and then looked at the stage. His hand quietly reached out to her, and he tried to hold her hand.

Annalise was startled and immediately put her hand on the table.

Julian also put his hands on the table.

Annalise immediately looked at Julian and silently said to him by moving her lips, “My mentor is here.”

The smile at the corner of Julian’s lips deepened as he responded, “Okay!”

Annalise was speechless.

“What’s good about it?” she wondered.

She suddenly reacted and reached out to touch her forehead. Her ears turned red.

She told him that her mentor was there and made him misunderstand that he could hold her hand if her mentor wasn’t around.

“Forget it. I can’t explain it clearly,” she thought.

Her cheeks were burning inexplicably, and she immediately reached out to cover her face.

Meanwhile, the staff came over to deal with Benjamin.

Benjamin had to swallow his helplessness. He pretended to be calm on the surface and swiped his card for the transaction.

Julian suddenly leaned closer to Annalise’s ear. She was startled and immediately moved toward her mentor. Julian deliberately said to Annalise in a voice that Benjamin could also hear, “Now, some people have no money and won’t fight over things with us anymore. We can buy whatever we want later.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
