Chapter 2433
Titus could not understand what was on Mr. Lockhart and Dicky’s minds.
After all, he did not like Sienna. Although the Lake family’s second branch was weaker than the first branch, it did not need any external help.
Since Sienna kicked Titus out of Quartz Residence, he had lost all interest in the Quartz family’s heiress.
Instead of wasting time on her, he would rather go out drinking with his friends and pick girls up.
“1’11 offer a million dollars!”
Dicky did not want Mr. Lockhart to show him up, so he immediately made an offer again.
Sienna’s smile broadened when the two men raised the originally 100-thousand-dollar painting to 1 million dollars.
Although the auction was said to be a charity auction, Winter Green Auction House would only donate its commission.
The payment would ultimately go to the seller who provided the auction items.
Winter Green Auction House’s commission varied from 10% to 30%, according to the price of the goods.
A small number of particularly valuable auction items would also agree to the auction house’s 40% commission.
The commission for a painting like this was 15%. The auction house would get 150 thousand from one million dollars, while the owner of the auction item would get the remaining 850 thousand.
However, if the amount was not too large for a charity auction like this, most of the money raised at the auction would be donated.
On the one hand, the money was not much. On the other hand, they could earn a good reputation.
The Ocean City dignitaries present were not short of money. They wanted reputation and fame.
“Okay! Since Mr. Neelson is so generous, I won’t compete with you!
“Give the painting to Mr. Neelson! I think his kindness can also win him applause for paying one million dollars for a painting like this!”
Seeing that the price of the painting was raised to one million dollars, Mr. Lockhart’s eyes glimmered as he gave up bidding for it. He did not even forget to ridicule Dicky.
