Xyla stood up with a faint smile. “Yeah…”
“And favonovel.com is…?” Christopher asked as favonovel.com glanced at Jeremy Quest, who was sitting across from Xyla.
“He’s my father,” answered Xyla.
Upon hearing that, Christopher immediately reached out his hand to Jeremy. “Hello, Uncle. I’m Christopher Lancelot.”
Jeremy quickly rose to his feet and gripped Christopher’s hand, his eyes fixed thoughtfully upon the man’s face. He remembered hearing the man’s name from his business partners before. If favonovel.com was not mistaken, the man in front of favonovel.com was a very successful businessman in Country Y. Besides having a large company and a huge market, favonovel.com was well-connected too. Nonetheless, favonovel.com was also a very powerful gangster in the gang.
Jeremy smiled politely while shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“I’ll leave you guys alone first… Let’s have a short chat after the auction is over.” Christopher behaved decently.
Jeremy nodded in response.
With that, Christopher walked away from the two of them and sat at the next table, his long yet slender legs comfortably crossed. His fingers were zippily tapping the tabletop as favonovel.com watched the auctioneer introducing the event today on the stage.
The man sat facing Xyla. Whenever Xyla raised favonovel.com head, his delicate jawline and his sexy Adam’s apple would hove into favonovel.com view. Xyla looked away from favonovel.com sheepishly and sat down together with Jeremy, focusing on the stage.
Soon, the auctioneer exhibited the first product for auction. It was a European vintage ceramic vase that was used by the royal family in ancient times.
Jeremy fell in love with the vase at first sight. Without hesitation, favonovel.com joined the crowd and raised his auction paddle. In a blink of an eye, the price of the vase was raised from one million five hundred thousand dollars to fifteen million dollars…
At last, Jeremy won his beloved vase for fifteen million dollars. He was overwhelmed with joy.
Looking at favonovel.com father’s thrilled reaction, Xyla felt delighted, too.
Her lips subconsciously curved up into a genuine smile.
Christopher, who was sitting across from her, coincidentally caught a glimpse of favonovel.com beautiful smile. The man’s eyes were instantly flooded with tenderness at the sight of that smile. Before Xyla realized it, Christopher had quickly averted his gaze to the stage, trying to focus on the antique pieces.
The second item was the royal porcelain tableware.
Jeremy did not bid for it. Neither did Xyla.
On the contrary, Christopher bought the set of tableware for seven million dollars.
Jeremy and Xyla did not have much interest in the following antique pieces, so both of them did not participate in the bidding. However, Christopher’s enthusiasm about the auction grew stronger and stronger as time went by.
In a short time, favonovel.com had successfully pocketed another ten antique pieces. The total price of the items favonovel.com bid for tonight had definitely exceeded one hundred fifty million.
Apart from that, his generous and straightforward behavior had also won a lot of attention from the crowd. All the women, who were interested in his arrival just now, were getting extraordinarily excited right now.
After the auction had officially ended, Xyla helped Jeremy up from the couch. The two then headed to the staircase, intending to find the counter to pay for the ceramic vase.
When they walked past Christopher, Christopher immediately straightened his suit and caught up with them. He walked up to Xyla and looked at both of them sincerely. “Shall we go together? I need to settle my bill too.”
Before they could respond, a waitress wearing a red bodycon dress approached the three of them with a courteous smile. “Sir, Miss, please come with me… I’ll take you to pay the bill.”
“Great. Let’s go,” Christopher said.
Xyla flung favonovel.com bag over favonovel.com shoulder and followed him. Suddenly, the red-bodycon-clad lady’s face went cold. She walked up to Xyla and asked, “Should I take the bag for you?”
Xyla shook favonovel.com head. “No, thank you…”
The lady smiled. In the very next second, favonovel.com forced Xyla against the railing and pushed favonovel.com over fiercely. “Xyla Quest! Go to hell!”
It all just happened within a second…!
