Chapter 364 He Was Fabulously Wealthy
Millie had no idea that the first round of the auction was her millennium ginseng.
She hit the auction button without hesitation.
Leo shook his head slightly.
After all, Millie was still new to auctions.
The order of the auction goods would be shown in order of prices and quality, which could tell that people here were all rich.
Although the millennium ginseng was rare, its value was not too high, compared with some antique calligraphy and painting. So it was shown in the first place naturally.
"Two million and one hundred thousand dollars!”
Millie typed the amount directly.
She thought there was no one to compete with her. However, someone from a private box raised the offer after a few seconds.
"Three million!"
"Andrew!"
Millie's beautiful eyes were full of anger.
She could see a man sitting by the window, grinning at her through the glass on the second floor.
That was Andrew.
"Millie, | know what you're thinking. You just want to buy the millennium ginseng to help you live longer. | won't let that happen!"
He was grinning viciously with his eyes bloodshot. "Marrying someone else is your destiny. You can't change it.”
Thanks to the microphone in the private box, Millie heard what he said. She ignored him and continued to raise the offer.
"Four million!”
Andrew continued without hesitation.
"Five million!"
Only the two of them were competing for the ginseng.
People did not care about the so-called millennium ginseng. What most of them were looking forward to were not shown yet.
"Seven million!"
"Eight million!"
"Ten million!"
When it came to ten million dollars, Millie was silent with her face with worry.
Before she came to Hopkins, Millie thought $10 million would be enough to buy a millennium ginseng so that's all she had in her card.
Now Andrew had raised the price so high that she couldn't afford it anymore.
To keep going, she'd have to have more than $10 million dollars but she did not.
"Use my card.”
Sandra handed the card over. Millie looked at her in surprise.
Sandra smiled. "If it weren't for you, I'd be forced to marry Andrew right now. It’s three million dollars.”
Leo couldn't help but look at her a few more times. She was a nice person, among other things.
"Thank you!"
Millie hurried to thank her.
Andrew stared at Sandra sullenly. "Bitch. Don’t you ever think | can't afford it now."
He jumped the gun before Millie could raise her offer.
"Fifteen million!”
Millie and Sandra were stunned that Andrew would spend fifteen million dollars to buy a ginseng.
The auctioneer grinned from ear to ear. "Fifteen million from the gentleman on the second floor.Anyone else?"
She thought it would be sold for five million dollars at most. Now it was fifteen million so there would be ten million dollars for profit. Wow! she would have a hundred thousand more than she thought.
“How can you afford it?" Millie asked with her face hideous.
He was not likely to have so much money if he just got support from the Perry Family.
Someone must be backing him.
Andrew sneered, “How can I afford it? Don't worry about it. All you need to know is that you are defeated by me."
He laughed out loud.
Looking at Millie’s face of a loser, he got a thrill of revenge.
Now he had been abandoned by the Palmer Family and the Grant Family and had completely lost the ability to compete for the master. There was only one thought in his mind, which was revenge.
There’s no way for Millie to have what he didn’t have.
“Twenty million."
A man made the offer calmly while Andrew was laughing his head off.
His laughter stopped suddenly followed by a dead silence.
All eyes turned to Leo as he made the offer.
"It's you again, bastard..."
Andrew's cheek twitched violently and sweat streamed down his forehead.
Despite Brooke and Caleb’s support, he had only $25 million.
Leo pushed the price as high as his limit of purchasing power suddenly, putting him under a lot of pressure.
“Leo, thank you..."
Millie was so grateful that she would have married him on the spot if she could.
“Twenty-five million!"
But Andrew raised the price again the next moment.
He almost shouted the words.
Everyone was looking at Leo again to see if he would raise the price.
“Fifty million."
Leo made the offer calmly.
Wow!
Everyone was shocked.
The beautiful auctioneer on the stage opened her mouth slightly and stared at Leo in disbelief inelegantly.
Others were stupefied. How arrogant he was to double the price.
What's more, Leo's face remained calm after he did that as if he hadn't just said $50 million, but $50...
Andrew stood in front of the window in disbelief. It was the first time he had seen the price doubled.
A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
But he turned grim again soon and growled, "I don't believe he has $50 million. What if he's just a random bidder?"
“Make him pay for it and if he can't, throw him out!"
“Shut up!"
Reggie, sitting in the corner, stood up immediately and growled darkly, "How dare you to question Mr. Cohen!"
The beautiful auctioneer made herself look elegant quickly and said with a smile, "Please go backstage to pay."
A man in a suit with a black tray in his hand walked up to Leo.
Leo took a look at Nadine, who instantly understood what he meant and pulled out a valuable black card and placed it on the tray.
The man in a suit bowed and left.
Ten minutes later, he returned with the tray and handed the black card back to Nadine.
“Miss, the payment has been made and the balance is..."
The waiter told a long number which no one around heard. Millie and Sandra dropped to the seats in disbelief. They were dumbfounded for quite a while.
The auctioneer and Reggie heard of it, who were absent-minded at that moment.
Both of them became more deferential to Leo afterwards.
“Congratulations to the gentleman!"
The attractive auctioneer took the lead in applauding and then some people began to clap.
They didn’t know what the balance was but from the reaction of the auctioneer and Mr. Doyle, they could tell it must have been astronomical.
Andrew mumbled with dull eyes.
"It's impossible, it's impossible..."
Reggie looked at Andrew with his eyes fierce and waved his hand suddenly, "Get him out of here. Break his legs and throw him out!"
“Don't! Mr. Doyle, forgive me!"
Andrew turned pale and tried to run away.
But soon two men in black rushed in and dragged him out.
“Ah -"
Then there was a scream outside and then it was silent.
The pretty auctioneer giggled. “It’s just a little incident. Sorry everyone. But this is our rule-who dares to make trouble will be punished."
The people present looked solemn. That was also a warning for them.
“Well, let’s go on. The next item is..."
The following items were all antique calligraphy and paintings, whose price was not as high as the millennium ginseng.
Leo did not participate in the auction but closed his eyes as if he was asleep.
"The next one is the final item of tonight's auction-the Cohen Family’s badge of the Valenham royalty."
Leo opened his eyes all of a sudden.
His eyes lit up.
