Chapter 120 Raise Your Bidding Paddle
Tyrone came from a wealthy family. And Arnold, Koen, and Justin were even more loaded than him. They were all among the richest in Sacramento.
They were sitting in the front row, and no one dared to provoke them.
Arnold looked at Justin’s bandaged hand and said with a smile, “Tsk, tsk. Justin, come on. I can’t believe you let an ex-con, an outcast of your family, do this to you. And he’s doing fine no less. If I were you, I’d be so humiliated now.”
Justin snorted and sat in situ with his legs crossed. He curled his lips and said, “Tyrone told me something funny today. It’s about you and Koen’s incident in Splendor Restaurant You wanted to kick Gerald out of the restaurant, yet you thought too highly of yourself In the end, it was you who got kicked out by Harper.”
Arnold glared at Tyrone and then sneered, “Sooner or later, I will show Harper the consequences of offending me.”
Then he looked at Justin and asked, “What do you think? Are you interested in teaching Gerald a lesson together with me?”
“How?” Justin asked indifferently.
“Easy I provide men, and you provide the money we need,” Arnold said. “Gerald has been strong. since he was a kid. He is good at fighting. I know some fighters, and I have a lot of connections. I’ll get someone to kick his ass, and you’ll be responsible for compensation. How does it sound?”
“No problem,” Justin said calmly.
Koen remained cool. Instead of getting involved with their conversation, he just sat in situ and said, “The auction is about to begin.”
Behind them, Gerald was in his seat. Keira, who was beside him, said excitedly, “It is said that there
will be a lot of valuable things in this auction. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford any of them. I’m just
here window-shopping.”
Gerald nodded.
He knew something about antiques, yet he wasn’t interested. Knowing antiques was simply a must
for Watchmen.
Reece was behind them. He smiled and said, “It’s OK. Keira, just tell me what you like, and I’ll buy it
for you.”
Keira frowned and ignored him.
Reece snorted. Then he patted Gerald on the shoulder and said, “Asshole, get up and exchange.
seats with me.”
Gerald glanced at Reece, smiled, and then turned back. He had no intention of standing up at all.
Reece gnashed his teeth, sneered, and thought, wait till the auction is over You are doomed.
Meanwhile, on a platform set up at the front, a light was moving slowly Under the light, a beautiful
woman who was dressed up walked slowly forward from the stage
“Hey, she looks familiar I think I have seen her somewhere before Gerald stroked his nose
“You don’t know her?” Keira was stunned. She whispered, “She is Cassidy Birrell, the pretty host
who is so popular in Sacramento now
“I see So, she is a star Gerald stroked his nose again.
He didn’t pay much attention to celebrities.
At the same time, Cassidy had already walked to the front with a charming smile on her face. Then she raised the mic and said, “Everyone, welcome to today’s auction. We are very honored to invite you, the notables in Sacramento, to be here. Let’s go straight to the auction part, shall we?”
Since it was an auction today, there was no live broadcast or TV recording. Therefore, Cassidy directly announced the beginning of the auction.
As she spoke, she held the mic in one hand and a hammer in the other
“The first lot is a painting that’s hundreds of years old. It is the authentic work of Horace Cain, a famous ancient artist
Meanwhile, two beautiful women came forward with a painting in their arms and slowly unrolled it in front of everyone.
Gerald glanced at the painting and smiled, “Really? No one is going up to verify if it’s a fake?”
“Humph! The host of today’s auction, like us, is one of the biggest antique dealers in the country. Trading fakes will be the same as ruining his brand,” behind Gerald, Reece sneered. “Do you know the price of this painting? It’s an astronomical figure for you. You’re in for a treat today, since you get to see the world.”
“I see. No wonder you told Keira that she wouldn’t get any fakes. After all, the items being auctioned today are all authentic anyway,” Gerald curled his lips and smiled.
Reece was so angry that his face turned slightly red.
Keira, who was next to Gerald, said, “Wow! An authentic work of Horace! Check out the size! I think it is worth at least several million dollars.”
