Mandy Zimmer’s facial expression appeared slightly disgusted. At first, Jake could get so much money for her sake, and she was quite touched by that. But now she felt quite upset and annoyed inside since Jake Surrey always mocked Harvey York.
Although Harvey was poor, and he was a live-in son-in -law no less, he had been doing all the house chores during those three years. He devoted himself to the hardships wholeheartedly. Although Mandy could not accept him at first, she now started to recognize the good in him.
Besides, she would feel quite humiliated if her husband was being condemned like that in public no matter how bad her husband was.
At that moment, Mandy frowned slightly and said, "M r. Surrey, I hope that you can take back what you just said and apologize to Harvey."
"Do you want me to apologize to him?" Jake burst into laughter. "Actually, I just do it for your own good. Mandy, this guy is not an ambitious man, but he's so arrogant in public. He may get into trouble sooner or later. I'm a kind person, so I won't resent him for this. I'll only give him some advice. If it was somebody else, they might have beaten him up right away!"
On the other hand, Wyatt Johnson echoed what was said. "Yes, Mandy. You're being too naive, and you
don’t know how cunning and vicious people can get. It's fine if they are being outright frank with you, generally speaking. We’re just afraid that he might get into trouble, and the others resent him for that secretly. Then, the person who gets into trouble may not just be him. It might even include his entire family. Mandy, don't go suffering a great loss because of a trivial thing like that. If I’m not your classmate, I won’t even say these things to you.”
Wyatt said earnestly.
Sitting beside him, Rosalie Naiswell glanced at him. She had a better impression of him now. 'This man is not bad. Not only is he a polite gentleman, the most important thing is that he’s quite considerate toward his classmate.'
‘In comparison, Harvey is indeed quite disgusting. It's fine if he’s a live-in son-in-law. But how could he have no self-awareness? How could he go and offend Jake? Doesn't he know that there are some people who a live -in son-in-law like him could never afford to offend?’ 2
Harvey looked at Mandy as she appeared to be put in a difficult position. He could only smile coldly, took out his phone and sent a text message to Yvonne Xavier.
Looking at Harvey’s phone, Rosalie was even more speechless. 'In an era like this, how could there be anyone who uses such an ancient phone from three years ago? He’s indeed a worthless piece of trash!'
When Wyatt and Jake saw that scene, they only chuckled softly. Under such a circumstance, they did not bother to do anything about Harvey. If they bothered about such a poor and worthless piece of trash, they would succumb to a lower level for no reason.
At that moment, the auctioneer on the stage was waving the little hammer slightly. She said excitedly," Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone who wants to bid for this lot? If not, Miss Naiswell will be the person who bid the highest price this time around. It's going once at 13.6 million dollars... Going twice..."
"Going thrice..." 1
"15 million dollars!"
Just when the female auctioneer was about to slam the hammer to end the bidding process, they heard a pleasant and faint female voice from one of the VIP rooms.
