On the stage, Keith’s smile grew wider.
The Harris family was also one of the top four families in Midwich, and Keith was the heir of the Harris family. The top four families were rivals with each other, wanting the others to go down.
Seeing Sherleen humiliated at the hands of an unknown young man, Keith beamed with joy.
He coughed, put on a stern expression, and said, “Everyone, Number 71 offered three million dollars for these 30 medical books. Is there anyone offering a higher price? Any more? Take the chance, or the 30 medical books will belong to Number 71…”
Number 71 is the number on Sandra’s auction paddle.
As soon as Keith finished speaking, Sherleen angrily raised her auction paddle.
“Four million dollars!”
Keith nodded and looked back at Sandra. “Number 33 bid four million dollars. Is anyone…”
Before Keith could finish speaking, Sandra raised his auction paddle.
“Five million dollars…”
Unlike the furious Sherleen, Sandra was calm and impassive in his expression and tone.
Keith nodded and was about to say something when Sherleen fumed, “I’ll pay six million!”
Then Sherleen turned around and pointed her auction paddle at Sandra and yelled, “Kid, you want to fight the Yale family? Do you have what it takes? The Yale family is one of Midwich’s top four families. We’re worth tens of billions of dollars. If you can defeat me today, I’ll write my name backward!”
The guests’ eyes widened in shock at hearing Sherleen’s statement.
Sherleen was pissed off by the young man right now. Her lungs were probably heaving up. She even said something like writing her name backward. However, they were amazed by Sandra at the same time.
Who is this young man?
He’s not afraid to face the pressure from the Yale family and made successive bids against the head of the Yale family, Sherleen.
Does he know how to spell “dead”?
Sandra calmly looked at Sherleen and said indifferently, “You’re no match for me. The Yale family isn’t my match… But I don’t need you to write your name backward. Just apologize when you lose…”
“Apologize? In your dreams!” Sherleen was furious as she threw the auction paddle at Sandra.
Seeing that the auction paddle was about to hit Sandra, Moana suddenly reached out and gripped Sherleen’s auction paddle.
“Mrs. Yale, you’re the head of the Yale family. Are you not afraid of embarrassing yourself and the Yale family?” Moana snapped.
