The Runaway Groom Chapter 101

Harvey had made the arrangement to force Isaac into making a higher bid.

Whatever happened, he would make sure to slice a fat chunk of money from that man, because it took one to know one!

It did not even matter if Isaac loved Irene-given the man’s usual style, he would never allow a portrait of his own wife to fall into a

stranger’s hands.

Moreover, it was proof that he was cucked, since Irene was pregnant with another man’s child. The portrait was simply a

reminder to Isaac that she had been with another man, even bearing her child!

He had a hunch that once Isaac brought it home, he would tear it into pieces!

Meanwhile, the crowd was in utter chaos.

Everyone present was rich, but it was not as if their money was made out of thin air!

Was that simple portrait worth over 41 million? They just could not understand!

Moreover, Isaac was a champion who would never suffer losses when it comes to business, and the fact that he would spend

that much money to buy that painting made everyone properly appraise it.

On the other hand, Isaac could see what Harvey was up to, but he did not mind it.

Money did not matter-the portrait mattered far more than that to him.

It was proof that their children existed.

“50 million,” he said, raising the bid, leaving the crowd gasping.

That was certainly far beyond what they would pay for that painting-and they had already thought so at the starting bid.

Beside him, Irene was stunned to hear him make the bid, and she turned to look at him. “It’s not worth that much money.”

Isaac simply smiled and said nothing-worth was in the eye of the beholder, and for him, that painting was priceless.

That was why he would spare no expenses!

At the same time, Harvey felt the corner of his eye twitching in confusion.

He knew that Isaac would be eager to buy that painting, but for 45 million at best!

That was why the man he had arranged to raise the bid just increased the bid amount by a million, so that he would raise it on his

own.

He just did not expect Isaac to simply push it up to 50 million, an amount far beyond estimated!

Was he that vengeful a man that he would throw away all that money just to settle a grudge?!

He hence announced the new auction amount, because he was eager to see how far Isaac could go!

“51 million.”

Harvey tried to keep it low, while offering Isaac more space to raise the bid -he was a little afraid to mess up and shoot himself in

the foot!

Isaac certainly knew what Harvey was up to, but he could not care less.”60 million.”

Harvey lost all composure right then. “What’s this, Mr. Jefferson?”

Isaac leveled him an impassive look. “You sell, i buy. It’s that simple.”

“65 million,” Harvey snarled through his teeth right then-not caring about making a show now!

“70 million,” Isaac replied without batting an eye. Harvey was speechless, and no longer had the courage to raise the bid.

He was a businessman who valued profit above all, and he could not afford to push when he did not have a read on Isaac at all.

Sure, Isaac was rich, but logically speaking, he should not be squandering his riches no matter how humongous his ego was.

“Sold!” Harvey declared, since no one would make any bids now.

Through it all, Irene was actually left confused as to what Isaac’s intentions were.

The portrait was never worth that much money, but she would not stop that man from biting that bullet.

However, she could not abide with Harvey using her to con Isaac!

Right now, she had a child to raise, and Sheryl could not work.

She decided to take her cut. “Harvey, that’s supposed to be my painting, isn’t it? Why are you auctioning it off instead?”
