Chapter 223

As soon as Hubert spoke, it was apparent which family would emerge as the

winner of the coveted centerpiece jewelry tonight. “400, going once!” The

elegant auctioneer’s voice resonated through the hall. At the same time,

Beatrix’s nerves were on edge.

Unlike Hubert’s naivety, she recognized Emmanuel’s voice and knew it was

her brother–in–law bidding from the VIP room next door. Please, Emmanuel,

don’t lose out!

“Haha, how about that? Isn’t your future brother–in–law impressive?” Hubert,

oblivious to Beatrix’s thoughts, proudly boasted to her.

“600!” Suddenly, Emmanuel’s voice echoed in the venue. The audiences

present gasped in astonishment. Someone dared to compete with Hubert

and even raised the bid by a staggering 2 million! Unfortunately, Emmanuel

was absent from the auction hall, leaving everyone clueless about the

bidder’s identity.

“Oh, Mr. Verkade, it appears that you and my elder sister are not destined to

be together!” Beatrix glanced at Hubert, feigning nervousness while feeling

elated deep inside. Emmanuel is truly remarkable!

Hubert clenched his teeth. The Verkade family’s sponsorship limit for him was

10 million, with the condition that he had to ensure the success of his

proposal to Mackenzie.

With the price already at 6 million, the pressure on him was immense.

Although it was hard on his pocket, he had made bold promises in front of

Beatrix and now had no choice but to go through with it.

Before he could utter a word, the bidder in the neighboring room raised the

bid once again: “800!” The audience was astounded. They had witnessed

bidding wars before, but never such an unconventional one. Was someone

bidding against themselves to illustrate how lonely it was to be invincible?

Beatrix was so thrilled that she wanted to nibble her hand when she realized

that Emmanuel’s dominance was beyond expectations!

Hubert didn’t think that someone would go against him, but since he had

made a public proclamation, he could only say while clenching his fist,

“Beatrix, I promised to propose to your sister using this golden jade phoenix.

No one can stop me! I meant it!” Hearing that, Beatrix pursed her lips and

thought, Who cares about what you’ve said? While 10 million might be

substantial for others, it was far from a considerable sum in the eyes of the

Quillen family.

Hubert, who was feeling good about himself, called out, “810!”

Damn. How pathetic! Beatrix indeed looked down on him. Compared to

Emmanuel, Hubert’s biding method was far inferior!

Did he increase the bid marginally because he’s running out of money?

Hubert then ignored Beatrix and issued a threatening remark before the

bidder in the neighboring room could make another bid. “The gentleman next

door, I’m Hubert from the Verkade family. I intend to acquire this golden jade

necklace and propose to Ms. Mackenzie with it. I hope you can grant me this

wish!”

As soon as Hubert spoke such words, the venue erupted in commotion. Many

believed that regardless of who occupied the neighboring room, they had to

show deference to the influential Verkade family and the formidable Quillen

family.

Indeed, the mysterious bidder remained silent for the moment. Noticing that,

Hubert finally heaved a sigh of relief and gradually revealed a triumphant

expression as he believed that he could secure the golden jade phoenix with

8.1 million, which was undoubtedly a worthwhile investment. Not only could

he win the heart of a beautiful woman, but he could also flaunt his success in

front of a multitude of people in Yeringham. How satisfying was that?

“It seems the mysterious person still lacks the courage to challenge the

Verkade family.”

“Of course. With the Verkade family’s extensive connections in Yeringham,

who would dare to offend them?”

“Yes, money holds significance, but influence prevails! Mr. Verkade truly

possesses wealth and power in Yeringham!”
