Gretchen was looking at him too. "Martin..."
Martin frowned. He had promised her earlier, so backing out now was too late. "I said that I would give it to you. Don't worry."
He bit the bullet and raised his bidder card. "11 million."
"Okay, Mr. Morel bids 11 million. Is there anyone else?"
"20 million!"
Otto directly rounded out the price.
Martin's face instantly darkened.
Sensing the shift in his emotions, Gretchen immediately said, "Martin, it's okay. I didn't like it that much anyway."
Martin frowned. As he was hesitating, he inadvertently caught sight of Gwenda's look of mockery. Steeling his heart, Martin gritted his teeth and called out. "21 million dollars!"
Gretchen was shocked, her heart filled with unspeakable joy.
Seeing this, Justina leaned close to her ear and said with a smile, "Mr. Morel really dotes on you."
Gretchen said shyly, "Martin has always been very good to me."
"I bet you that Gwenda's in a bad mood right now."
Justina looked over to Gwenda with a smug, provocative expression.
Seeing this, the mocking smile on Gwenda's face grew bigger. She looked away, unmoved by Justina's attitude.
"Mr. Morel has bid 21 million dollars. Is there a higher bid price?"
The host's voice was high-pitched.
"21 million, going once!"
"21 million, going twice!"
"21 mil..."
"100 million!"
Otto interrupted him.
Once he said that, there was an uproar.
"Oh my god, he actually bid 100 million dollars."
"What a rich dude, man."
"Who is he?"
