Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Emmanuel decided not to probe further, and Terence, too, didn’t consider

Emmanuel a fool. Instead, he perceived his trust as a unique form of

intelligence. Emmanuel reminded him of his younger self, who wouldn’t be

guarded against those he trusted, and would only get help from those that

he trusted. Emmanuel didn’t ask any more questions not because he had no

suspicions of his own, but because Emmanuel had placed his trust in him.

Emmanuel chose not to dwell on it too much and believed that Terence

wouldn’t cause him any harm. If Terence said that ‘l‘ represented 100, then it

“Thank you, Grandpa. Let’s see how things unfold!” Emmanuel neither refused

nor agreed, as he opted to gauge the final price before making a decision.

After all, the jewelry auctioned thus far didn’t appear exorbitantly expensive. It

seemed plausible to secure the phoenix pendant with 3,000.

Little did he know that this auction house followed an international currency

format, where three zeros represented one unit. So, when Terence mentioned

100, it meant 100,000. Furthermore, they employed international currency

units, with an exchange rate to the currency of approximately 10 to 1. In short,

the number 100 represented roughly 1 million! This was the most upscale

auction venue in Yeringham, so how could there be an option for 100?

“This golden jade phoenix will be mine!”

Just as the auctioneer announced the commencement of bidding,
