Chapter 990 Greene Corporation Exposed
I’m absolutely certain that he’s the man from before. He was on board the rigged cruise ship and even tried to kidnap me. Yet, he must have told me about the bomb by accident. In the end, he saved my life and allowed me to escape unscathed. Nevertheless, why is he here?
As Arielle pondered over the man’s sudden appearance, she heard a voice that jolted her out of her thoughts. “Sannie, there’s something I forgot to mention. Although he’s a new transfer student in our class, he has been absent every single day. He only drops by to ask if you are present. If you aren’t here, he leaves without a second glance. It’s like he transferred to Jadeborough University with the sole intention of meeting you.”
When Arielle caught wind of this, she was even more confused.
Clearly, this man has his sights set on me. But why? Is he a potential ally or foe?
Instinctively, Arielle glanced at the man in question, only to realize that he was looking at her too. When they locked gazes, the corners of his lips upturned into a sexy smirk.
Arielle scowled and looked away.
At the same time, Marcus finally recovered from his initial shock. “Are you sure you want to purchase this necklace for one hundred million?” he asked Aaron.
“That’s right,” Aaron confirmed with a nod. “Is there anyone else who wants to bid a higher price?” he questioned casually.
Wendy could not help but bite her bottom lip in frustration.
Initially, she assumed things would go according to plan because Arielle was not participating in this bid. Yet, there was an unexpected turn of events.
Worse yet, she could not overcome this hitch.
Although the Greenes could afford to pay one hundred million, Wendy was sure that her mother would disapprove of her lavish spending. One hundred million was too outrageous of a price for a mere necklace.
Reluctantly, Wendy lowered her paddle.
“One hundred million going once, going twice, sold!”
Bang! The gavel was slammed against the sound block, indicating that the necklace now belonged to Aaron.
