The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

1 million dollars?!

Everyone turned to the person who made such a ridiculous bid. Of course, it was none other than Darius Reid!

Darius took another sip of the wine from the glass cup in his hand, but his gaze was fixed on the wine on display, ignoring the stares he got from other people. However unlike the first time when he bid $100,000 for the painting the others didn’t back down this time. This time around the bigshots were involved in the bidding war.

“$1.1 million!” Someone shouted a few seconds after Darius raised the bid. “$1.15 million!” Another person counter bid. “$1.2 million!” “$1.3 million!” “$1.5 million!”

the bid. 1.5 million dollars? Wasn’t that a bit

There was a brief pause immediately too much?

Everyone turned to face the person who made the bid. This time around it was David Lesley who placed such a high bid. A

David felt proud when he saw many people looking at him. $1.5 million dollars wasn’t a little sum, but he could afford to spend that much. He only had $500,000 left before the money allocated to him by his father ran out.

He however believed that that amount of money was enough to win the bid for the wine. David had little to no interest in wine. However he felt the need to win the bid for the wine. He didn’t want Darius to steal the spotlight anymore.

Unfortunately, David underestimated the interest the bidders had in the wine. As someone who wasn’t a wine lover he didn’t understand the appeal a 150 year old wine held to them.

“$2 million.”

It was Darius who raised the bid this time. He knew at once what was running through David’s mind, but was unbothered about his behavior. He didn’t want to involve himself in David’s

childish competition, which was why he raised the bid by half a million dollars.

Darius thought that this bid would end the bidding war, as many people abstained from bidding when they heard Darius bid. Although they were indeed very interested in the wine, $2 million was too much of a price for just a bottle of wine.

A few seconds passed and there was no other bid.

“$2 million going once! Twice! …”

David gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn’t afford to bid anymore as he would be unable to

outbid Darius; but at the same time he didn’t want to see Darius win this bidding war.

Sarah on the other hand couldn’t believe that the person in question was truly Darius. How did Darius become so rich to be able to spend $2 million so casually on something as silly as wine?!

Just as the announcer was about to confirm Darius as the winner of the bidding war, a voice interrupted him.
