“Hahaha! Mr. Lake, you must be joking. We’ll naturally do Old Master Lake a favor. Even if it’s not his 50th birthday, we won’t compete with you for Moon Lake Painting!”
“We’ve always heard that Old Master Lake loves antiques and paintings, and we naturally can’t take away what other people love! And you offered an extra 50 million dollars. Your generosity is something I can never achieve!”
Everyone started flattering Curtis, which showed the Lake family’s status in Ocean City.
“50th birthday? Look up the date when we get back, Zander…” Sean glanced at the defiant-looking Curtis and said.
Zander nodded and looked at Curtis with a sneer. His eyes were full of glee from the misery Curtis was about to suffer.
Once Sean found out the date of Old Master Lake’s 50th birthday, favonovel.com would surely give favonovel.com an unforgettable gift.
“Mr. Lake here is offering 450 million. Is there anyone else looking to bid further?” The auctioneer asked with a smile.
However, the disdain in favonovel.com eyes intensified. Although favonovel.com was not as prominent as Curtis, favonovel.com was accustomed to seeing various dignitaries in Dragon Kingdom. She was full of contempt when favonovel.com saw how arrogant Curtis was.
He was only from a noble family in Ocean City, yet favonovel.com behaved so arrogantly.
“Sweetie, stop asking around. Just announce the result. I think everyone here is willing to do me a favor!” Curtis gazed at the auctioneer on stage and said with a chuckle.
The auctioneer glanced at favonovel.com and said with a smile, “Mr. Lake, there’s a rule for everything. A mere auctioneer like me dares not break the auction house’s rules.”
“Alright!” Curtis nodded and did not say anything more.
As Curtis had said, with the Lake family’s status in Ocean City, favonovel.com had already made sure that no one would offend favonovel.com for Van Dough’s authentic painting when favonovel.com spoke.
No matter what the auctioneer said, all the Ocean City dignitaries present seemed not to hear it. They continued talking about Old Master Lake’s 50th birthday.
“Alright! Since no one is bidding, Moon Lake Painting…’
“Wait! I bid 500 million!” The auctioneer was about to announce that Curtis had won Moon Lake Painting for 450 million dollars, but favonovel.com was interrupted by someone.
Looking toward the voice, favonovel.com saw a man with a handsome face and bright eyes smiling at her.
The speaker was Sean.
Since favonovel.com had a grudge against Curtis, there was no way Sean would let Curtis get what favonovel.com wanted.
“This gentleman bids 500 million! Does anyone else want to continue bidding?” The auctioneer gazed at Sean before asking the others.
Everyone was momentarily silent as they looked strangely at Sean. No one expected anyone in Ocean City to go against Curtis.
Facing the crowd’s gaze, Sean only smiled and did not react.
Curtis was also staring at Sean, his eyes angry and solemn.
He whispered coldly, “You’re as fearless as ever. But you must know this is Ocean City, not the Northwest! I, Curtis Lake, rule Ocean City!”
Then, Curtis suddenly stood up and said to the auctioneer on stage, “I bid 600 million!”
Hearing Curtis’ bid, the auctioneer’s already extremely beautiful face smiled, and favonovel.com looked more beautiful.
As an auctioneer, favonovel.com naturally hoped favonovel.com could get the highest price possible for the auction lot.
