Climbing Up to The Top Summit novel Chapter 149

Cecilia Zachary’s facial expression changed. She did indeed have some interest in Jake. However, Jake Surrey was only interested in Mandy Zimmer, and he was not friendly to her. That had always caused her pain. If not, she would certainly throw herself at such a rich and handsome guy long ago. Why would she introduce him to Mandy then?

"Harvey, you can’t even give your wife the things she wants. Could you please stop pretending. You’re very annoying!" Cecilia sneered, and her facial expression changed ceaselessly.

"Harvey, Cecilia, please stop talking.” Seeing that scene, Mandy was put in a dilemma. Cecilia had always been disgusted with Harvey York. Harvey did not retort her before, so she would cease talking after condemning him for a short while. Until recently, Harvey was clearly different from before and Cecilia had suffered many times because of her argument with him.

Sitting beside them, Jake smiled faintly, and as he was about to say something.

All of a sudden.

"9.1 million!"

"10.6 million!" "12.1 million!”

They did not give Jake the time for him to feel smug about himself. In under a short time, the value of the Forever Mine had almost doubled up.

"What's happening?" Jake was slightly astounded. ' Are these women out of their minds? Although diamonds are good, it's just diamonds. Do they need to spend so much on that?'

He had boasted about the fact that he could do such a thing just now. Hence, if he could not secure that diamond ring...

Thinking of that, Jake felt slightly nervous. But he still gritted his teeth and said, "12.1 million... a hundred fifty thousand dollars!"

A roar of laughter was heard.

"Sir, our bidding price was 1.5 million. If you're going t o increase the price by only a hundred fifty thousand dollars, our auction house won’t approve of that." At that moment, the female auctioneer reminded him in a reserved manner.

Having said that, the entire crowd burst into laughter.

'What kind of a place is this Mountain Top Auction House?’ At that moment, a lot of people had seen through Jake given how he bid for the lot. He was clearly abashed slightly and he could not afford to increase as per the bidding price. If not, he would not act like that.

Jake’s facial expression became grimaced in defeat. It was true that his family was wealthy. But the operating funds he owned were quite limited, and it was impossible for him to spend extravagantly without any limit.

As for Jake, she would not accept the ring even though he gained it at the end. After all, she had no intention to divorce Harvey for the time being.

"Mandy, let's forget it since you don't like it. If you find anything you like later, do tell me. I'll definitely buy them for you.” Jake secretly breathed a sigh of relief. H e just found himself some kind of excuse to get out of that awkward situation. He wiped away his cold sweat too. If Mandy claimed that she liked that ring, h e did not really know what he should do about that.

A roar of laughter was heard. "Excuse me. I really can't hold it in anymore..." Harvey could not suppress his laughter. "I really don’t want to laugh. But this Jack or something, could you please perform the entire show u p until the very end since you really wanted to play pretend. Could you please don’t give it up halfway through? If you don’t have the money, just don’t brag about yourself like that, okay?"

In that instant, Harvey could not hold himself back anymore and thought. 'Is this guy out of his mind?

How could he try to act like the others and put up a show here in the auction house since he's only merely capable? Is it the first time he came to such a place?’

"If you dare, go ahead and laugh again!" Jake was extremely angry because of his humiliation. "No matter what, I can still get a few million dollars! How about you? Not to mention a few million dollars, could you even get a few hundred dollars?

"Harvey, you’re a man, but you went and be someone's live-in son-in-law. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? I heard that you lead a pathetic and pitiful life in the Zimmers just like a dog. How could you even act like a dog, barking here, saying irresponsible remarks! Are you out of your mind? Or are you just trying to prove your existence?"

In that instant, Jake was indeed extremely angry.' How could I be humiliated by this live-in son-in-law twice?' He really had the urge to murder Harvey now.
