"I don't know. I suppose it must be some local wealthy businessman. I wonder why he is willing to bid 120 million for a necklace."
Hanson didn't have the same reason as Charles's.
Charles wanted the necklace because it was called Lin-Cha, and that was a meaningful coincidence. He was going to give it to Linda to make her happy. So he wondered why another man was so eager to get it.
"Don't think too much. You can compete with him. After all, I don't want that necklace. After you raise the price one last time, you can give up on it. In this way, that man would have to pay a lot of money for it. And it will be a great loss for him, "
Said Linda mischievously.
"Honey, you are so wicked." Charles smiled, raising a corner of his lips. He really loved how smart Linda was. He found it very interesting when she came up with bright ideas to play tricks on others.
"Of course. I've stayed with you all this time, so I have already been influenced by you."
She also took the chance to blame Charles when she spoke to him.
The man sent by Hanson still stood at the door. He saw that Charles was still talking on the phone, but the emcee on the stage was about to set the hammer price. He was getting even more anxious, trying to enter the room to look for Charles. However, he was stopped by the bodyguards at the door. Charles had noticed that something was happening outside the room. He then said, "Honey, someone is at the door, and I don't know what he wants. I have to go and check it out. I will call you after the auction."
"Okay. Come back early tomorrow... I miss you so much..."
After he had hung up the phone, Charles waved towards his bodyguards at the door and asked them to let the man inside.
The man sent by Hanson finally entered the room. He glanced at Charles for a little while, but he didn't recognize him. He spoke, "Sir, my boss asked me to come here to tell you that he really wants the diamond necklace. He is going to give it to a woman whom he wants to chase. Could you please give him this chance to buy the necklace? If you continue raising the price, the organisers of the auction will gain extra profits. Neither of us can benefit from that."
"Oh, really? But I also want to get this necklace and give it as a present for a beautiful woman."
"So what do you mean by that? Do you still want to compete with my boss?"
Hanson was a very famous and wealthy man in this city. He was well-connected, having some friends who worked for the government and knowing people from criminal gangs. He had never met anyone who dared compete against him. At the beginning, his man talked to Charles in a polite way, but his arrogance showed after. Upon hearing Charles, he thought that Charles was a cocky bastard.
Since he would surely show no consideration for these kinds of people, Charles wanted to increase the price.
Without saying anything else, he closed his eyes to relax.
He waved his hand gently, and Paul immediately understood what he had meant. Then, he sent people to throw Hanson's man out of the room.
That man couldn't tolerate such humiliation. Since he worked for Hanson, he was respected by others all the time. People always regarded him in a respectful way because of the person he was working for.
