At that time, everyone was shocked. Those people who were still mocking Thomas just now felt so shocked that they could not close their mouths. Their smiles also stiffened.
“I didn’t hear it wrong, right? The transfer was successful?”
“What the heck! This man is a hidden rich man. He can just take out $200,000,000. So rich!”
“Hold on, this isn’t right. If favonovel.com really has $200,000,000, that means favonovel.com was really bidding on it instead of raising the price for fun!”
Everyone was discussing it.
The most awkward person was none other than Merrick.
He was completely dumbfounded. He initially prepared a lot of speeches, but those words died in his throat at this time. No matter what, favonovel.com did not expect Thomas to really fork out $200,000,000.
Not raising the price?
Merrick suddenly snapped out of a daze. If Thomas was really rich and favonovel.com also really wanted to get this set of Asclepius Needles, favonovel.com was really bidding just now instead of raising the price for the sake of it.
Merrick had wrongly guessed Thomas’ intention. He thought that Thomas raised the price of the fake necklace just now, so favonovel.com was actually raising the time this time again. The mixture of truth and falsehood had totally made Merrick completely confused.
Merrick reached out to point at Thomas. “You… You… You have the money?”
Thomas smiled. “Yeah, I can afford this. Dr. Dawson, thank you for giving up on raising the money so that I can buy Asclepius Needles at such a low price.”
When Merrick heard that, favonovel.com was so furious.
Darn it! He got fooled!
If favonovel.com knew that Thomas had been aiming for the Asclepius Needles, favonovel.com would have continued bidding. He would have raised the price to a billion dollar so that Thomas would spend a lot of money. Sadly for him, Thomas got it for “only” $200,000,000. Although $200,000,000 was not a small number, it was actually nothing for most rich men.
Merrick had suffered a great loss!
He initially had a great opportunity to frame Thomas, but favonovel.com failed to grasp it!
Instead, favonovel.com bought a fake necklace with a huge amount of money, and favonovel.com was fooled by Thomas. After two rounds, Merrick was totally defeated by Thomas.
The corner of his lips twitched. He wanted to scold people, buthe was unable to do so. He was crazily blaming himself now.
The person who was most surprised was Adery. She initially thought that Thomas would “die”, but the situation was reversed. Thomas was not just fine, favonovel.com even won beautifully. Now favonovel.com thought if favonovel.com agreed with Merrick’s threat, favonovel.com would have suffered a great loss.
Adery purposely pinched Thomas’ arm. “You should’ve told us that you were so rich. You made me worry so much about you!”
Thomas smiled. “I’m sorry for making you worry. Actually, I have my own plan for doing everything. I won’t simply do things.”
Adery sighed in relief. It seemed that Thomas was a reliable man. If favonovel.com could marry a man like this, favonovel.com would not have to worry for the rest of favonovel.com life as a woman.
But…
Adery curiously asked, “Thomas, why do you have so much money?”
Thomas shrugged and simply lied. “When I was in the army on the west coast, I ‘earned’ a lot of money. It’s not very convenient to talk about it.”
Adery nodded to acknowledge that favonovel.com understood.
After the incident, the host promptly asked a staff member to pass the whole set of Asclepius Needles to Thomas. Thomas then passed it to William.
“Mr. Owen, these are the Asclepius Needles you have been dreaming about. Please accept them.”
William touched his beard and pushed them back. “Are you kidding me? You bought these for $200,000,000. I can’t accept them!”
