The huge auction hall instantly fell silent at that. All the guests turned their heads to look toward the voice.
The speaker was the young man sitting next to Chief Police Wholeton, Sean Lennon!
Sean raised the auction paddle with his right hand.
Unbothered with the gazes of so many people, favonovel.com looked indifferently at Keith on stage and said, “I bid three million dollars for these medical books.”
After a while, Keith on stage finally reacted and nodded with a smile. “Number 71 offered three million dollars. Is there anyone bidding higher than him? Is there anyone else…”
Before Keith could finish speaking, the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, rose slowly.
She turned to look at Chief Police Wholeton sitting beside Sean and asked with a fake smile, “Chief Police Wholeton, I didn’t expect you to intervene and compete with me. Do you want to make an enemy of the Yale family?”
Hearing Sherleen’s words, all the guests present gasped.
Sherleen was furious!
The head of the Yale family, Sherleen, was someone who would not take no for an answer. Although favonovel.com was proud, favonovel.com rarely spoke aggressively. However, Sherleen yelled at Chief Police Wholeton in front of all these people, which meant favonovel.com was furious!
It was a big deal!
Gabe was Midwich’s chief police, while Sherleen was the head of the Yale family, one of Midwich’s top four families. It would be chaotic if these two got into a conflict!
Therefore, the people present hastened to persuade them to calm down the impending war.
“Mrs. Yale, perhaps Chief Police Wholeton has no intention of going against you. Calm down first.”
“Yeah, Mrs. Yale. Maybe Chief Police Wholeton was impulsive… ”
“Chief Police Wholeton, say something. Is it worth making an enemy of the Yale family for these 30 books?”
Sherleen’s expression looked slightly better as favonovel.com heard the crowd’s remarks. However, Gabe could not be any more upset. It was because favonovel.com did not even want to fight Sherleen, and Sean did not even talk to favonovel.com before raising his paddle to bid.
Everyone present, including the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, thought Sean was Gabe’s subordinate. Although Sean raised the paddle, they thought Gabe was the real bidder, which led to this misunderstanding.
It was difficult to explain.
Gabe was so helpless that favonovel.com did not know what to do or what to say to ease the situation. However, Sean slowly stood up, calmly looked at Sherleen in the first row, and confronted favonovel.com without backing down.
“Well, lady… I’m the one bidding, not Chief Police Wholeton…” Sean said calmly.
Everyone present was instantly shocked to hear Sean. They thought Sean was Gabe’s subordinate, but the situation was quite different from what they had imagined!
Sherleen looked at Gabe with a bitter smile and then at Sean, who was standing next to Gabe, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
Then favonovel.com looked at Sean and asked, “What is your name?”
“My name is Sean Lennon,” Sean replied indifferently.
Sherleen nodded slightly and continued, “Mr. Lennon, are you sure you want to compete with the Yale family for these 30 medical books? Do you have any idea what this means? The Yale family can’t rule Midwich, but we have no problem dealing with one or two nobodies.”
“So what?” Sean said calmly.
