A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Julian had phrased the retort to be as harsh as possible to deter people from further making fun of him.

Scoffing, Julian buttoned up his suit. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the auction master say, “Eight million dollars!”

The crowd gasped and exclaimed in surprise.

Julian felt his legs go weak. He turned around to see an attractive man dressed all in black holding up a sign. The man was even smiling smugly at him as if he was provoking him.

“Who is that?” Julian asked his friends.

One of his friends gulped before replying, “I think it’s Yoel Fulton, the youngest son of the Fulton family of Riverside City.”

The auction master continued the bid in an attempt to see if anyone was willing to offer a higher price. “One hundred million dollars,” said a man with a low voice. He was seated next to Yoel, and he was holding up his sign.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

Julian glared furiously at the man who was sitting in the comer. He could not see the man’s face clearly, but he was sure that the two men were trying to humiliate them.

Irritated, Julian snarled, “And who is that?”

His friend peered at them and said weakly, “I think that is… Jace Yuriel, the CEO of the Yuriel Group from Nadeem City.”

Julian’s legs gave way, and he fell back into his seat.

Yoel mocked, “Mr. Julian, don’t back out now. Didn’t you say that you must have the necklace? I’m excited to know how much you’re willing to spend on it.”

Looking at Jace, he then continued, “I’m not interested in the emerald at all. But that necklace had belonged to Sage, and she has wom it. I think it’s with the money. I must have that necklace to myself.”

Anger flickered across Jace’s eyes as he replied firmly, “What a coincidence, me too.”

“A hundred million going once, going twice-”

“100.1 million dollars!”

Julian shouted as he glanced coldly at Yoel and Jace. His friends wanted to stop him as they knew that the Fultons and the Yuriels were not people that they should be messing with.
