“You… You b*stard!” Sherleen’s hands and feet were shaking with anger.
Keith looked at Jasmine and said with a chuckle, “Mrs. Yale just bid six million. Do you want to keep bidding, Mr. Jamie?”
Keith did not even address them according to the paddle numbers anymore; he went by Mrs. Yale and Mr. Jamie.
Jasmine smiled and nodded before slowly saying, “I bid ten million dollars for the 30 medical books.”
Ten million!
Sherleen had bid six million, and now Jasmine bid ten million in the blink of an eye!
How terrifying. Even Sherleen, who was the head of the Yale family, felt intense pressure because of the ten million.
“Mom, forget it… Grandpa’s disease can’t be cured just by buying some medical books. They probably don‘t have such a magical effect even if they’re Dr. Humphrey’s medical books. After all, medical books have to be studied first. No one can master Dr. Humphrey’s medical skill through 30 books…” Sherman spoke to his mother, Sherleen, as he grabbed her by the wrist.
Sherleen looked at her son and hesitated for a while before she sighed. “I can’t take this. The Yale family has never lost, but this Jamie boy kept… ”
Jasmine’s voice suddenly rang before Sherleen could finish speaking.
“Mrs. Yale, I advise you not to compete with me. You’re no match for me. Moreover, it’s not like we can’t copy these 30 medical books. You can come to me after I win them. I can copy these 30 medical books for you for free. What do you think?”
Jasmine was giving Sherleen a way out by saying that. After all, he did not want to offend Sherleen or the Yale family she represented.
Sherleen froze and pursed her mouth in silence after hearing Jasmine’s remark. She knew it was for the best, but she kept silent because she could not swallow it.
Sherman, who was sitting next to her, stood up and said to Jasmine with a chuckle, “Mr. Jamie, that’s a good suggestion. Since you’re willing to copy these 30 medical books to the Yale family, we would like to be friends with you. Of course, the Yale family won’t take it for free. We will come to you with five million dollars in cash to make it up to you.”
“Whatever floats your boat,” Jasmine said with a nod.
