At these words, a middle-aged man, in a black suit, walked down from the second floor. There was an outbreak of muttering at his appearance.
“Look, here Edith Bush comes! He is in charge of the auction business for the McGill family.”
“What is he doing here? He doesn’t make many public appearances before.”
“I think it will be a big surprise at the upcoming auction! We’re so lucky.”
Bryan’s lips arched into a smile. He looked contemptuously at Baron and said, “Now for some fun, man! If you don’t have one hundred million dollars, Ha-ha, utter shame!”
When Susan saw Edith, she began to worry about Baron. She had heard of him before. Edith was important to the McGill family.
But Baron’s face did not change and he said nothing.
Edith went straight to Baron and said gently, “Excuse me, sir! I am Edith Bush, in charge of tonight’s auction. I should check over your assets. Please understand and cooperate.”
“Mr. Bush, he is my friend. Could you skip this part, please?” Susan implored.
But Edith showed no emotion and said, “Sorry, Susan! That’s the rules. Everybody here must follow the rule.”
Susan didn’t know what else she could do. She looked at Baron with obvious concern. She didn’t think Baron have one hundred million dollars.
“Mr. Bush…” Susan continued, but she was immediately interrupted by Edith.
“Say no more, Susan, or you will take your Lewis family into a big trouble!” Edith said coldly.
Susan was a little panicked and ceased to speak.
Baron looked at Edith with interest. Edith was neither humble nor arrogant, and he’s very meticulous about his work. The McGill family was lucky to have such a good helper.
At this point, Kris was striding toward them, looking strained. “Mr. Bush, he is my friend. Could you do me a favor…” he said.
But before he finished the sentence, Edith interrupted him too, “So the Brown family decided to meddle in the McGill family’s affairs? Let me be very clear, anyone who try to meddle in this, get out of here!”
Kris’ face went an ugly green at the harsh words. he was momentarily lost for words.
“Well, I really appreciate your help, Kris! But we should obey the rules,” Baron said. He paused for a moment and continued, “But there is a condition. Bryan just slung mud at me. So, if I have one hundred million dollars, Bryan should be punished.”
