Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477 What a Scheming Man!

Elise was not as calm as she was during the first half of the auction. Instead, she stood up in excitement as she made her way to the railings. She held onto the railings with both of her hands before craning to look downward. Her slightly childish voice had attracted the crowd’s attention as they lifted their gaze toward her

The guests on the second floor were usually wealthy or influential people, so the crowd was interested to find out who was the lady who had such good taste.

However, upon realizing that the woman who made the bid was a stranger to them and that her companions were all young men around her age whom they could not recognize, the crowd burst out in laughter.

“Haha! Whose prodigal son—oh no, I mean prodigal daughter—is this? Which family allowed their prodigal daughter to come here and embarrass herself?”

“She has an exquisite look, but alas, she’s ignorant and even lacks basic knowledge. Hey, young chick, do you even know what high-quality jadeites look like? Only those with a pale surface are valuable. If you bid this piece of stone back, I’m afraid your father will be driven mad by you!”

A man stretched his neck and pretended to be ‘kind’, which immediately caused the others to burst out laughing again.

And because of that, no one from the first floor increased the bid, and the bid price remained at 500,000 throughout an entire minute as the crowd continued laughing at Elise.

Elise glanced across the hall and smiled in a self-deprecating manner.

If only she had known that no one would increase the bid, she would’ve asked for 300,000 directly as she’d be able to save 200,000.

Elise almost had the game in her hand, and even Johnny, who was on the stage, wore a smile and was about to congratulate her.

Just then, a cold male voice emerged from a room at the right and broke the silence.

“880,000.”

The voice was deep yet rich, and the volume was just loud enough to travel across the entire hall so that everyone could hear him clearly.

The crowd turned to the source of the voice to look at the second idiot at the scene. There, they saw Kenneth, who was standing beside the railing looking down at the jadeite while holding a pair of white gloves in his hand.

Elise frowned as she had a bad hunch.

Meanwhile, Celina was engulfed by jealousy downstairs. “It’s Kenneth. Why did he start bidding too?”

“Faye, your sister even bewitched Kenneth. She’ll definitely become the laughing stock by buying this kind of useless stone!”

Someone from the crowd teased in a loud voice, “How thoughtful is Mr. Bailey to willingly undertake the humiliation for the sake of a pretty girl!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you think Kenneth is of the same kind as you jerks? Lowly creatures!” Celina defended Kenneth outspokenly and offended the majority of the guests at the spot with her comment.

“Ha! It seems like Mr. Bailey has quite a number of lovers. But alas, there is a large disparity between their ranks just like how one is seated on the second floor while the other is on the first floor!”

“Exactly! She’s already downgraded to the first floor just like us, so what is she still being snobbish about? Does she really think of herself as Mrs. Bailey?”

“Although the lady upstairs is a prodigal, at least she has an attractive look. As for this woman on the lower floor, anyone who takes her in would be doing an act of kindness already. Hahaha…”

Men typically liked dirty talks when they gathered together. In addition, Celina had just insulted them, so they did not show mercy all the more and abused this socialite of Landred City as if she was worthless.

Celine was boiling in anger and was about to retort when Faye quickly stopped her as she did not want to be implicated in this argument between opposite genders. “Calm down, Celina! Kenneth is still looking at the scene from upstairs, so don’t give him the impression that you’re a reckless woman! Those men are not whom you want to please, so don’t care about what they say. Remember this—only compete with those in the same league and don’t waste time arguing with insignificant people!”

Hearing that, Celina nodded in all seriousness. “You’re right. I shouldn’t argue with the insignificant ones. It’s not worth being angry with those idiots! Luckily you’re around, Faye. Otherwise, I would be embarrassing myself in front of Kenneth!”

Faye smiled stiffly. “Don’t mention it.”

Yeah, you nearly embarrassed me too! Do you even have a brain? You’re even more stupid than a pig!
