The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 13

When Sawyer heard the amount, her eyes widened in disbelief. She thought there was something wrong with her hearing ability, so she quickly checked the computer screen.

“Ones, tens, hundreds… Ten million, one hundred million, one billion, ten… Ten billion!”

Sawyer was shocked beyond belief. She almost jumped up after confirming the amount.

“You… you actually have ten billion Yuan in your card!” Sawyer felt that her breathing had sped up, and her hands were trembling.

Casey retrieved the card and said, “Now, am I qualified to enter the venue?”

Sawyer swallowed hard and said with a regretful face, “Yes, yes, sir, I’m really sorry about what happened previously. I couldn’t recognize your worth and has treated you rudely. I hope that you will forgive my rudeness. I will personally bring you in through the VIP lane and arrange a private room for you.”

Casey didn’t say anything in response as he followed Sawyer through the VIP lane into a private room that was usually reserved for the most distinguished guests. He could bid his price by pressing a button in the room. That way, his identity could be hidden. It was a privilege provided by the auction house to protect these distinguished guests.

After making sure that Casey had settled down in the private room, Sawyer emerged from the room and heaved a huge sigh of relief. When he was leading Casey just now, her hands were soaked with cold sweat.

The two men who had stopped Casey from entering previously walked towards Sawyer with a confused expression on their faces.

“Sawyer, why did you let that beggar enter the auction house? You have even brought him in through the VIP lane. Did he bribe you?” One of them asked.

Sawyer immediately slapped him in the face and shouted angrily, “Watch your mouth! That man is our distinguished guest. If somebody refers to him as a beggar again, I will make sure you are fired from your job!”

…

There were a lot of expensive and luxurious items being auctioned today, but Casey was not interested in most of them.

His only goal was to get his hands on the main attraction of this auction, which was the “Heart of Venus”.

As time went on, the items were slowly auctioned off one by one until the “Heart of Venus” finally took center stage.

Casey, who almost fell asleep, suddenly snapped himself awake. He watched the host introducing the “Heart of Venus” and vowed that no matter how much he had to spend, he would bring this necklace home today.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the “Heart of Venus” was designed by a top international designer and it is a valuable accessories. This necklace was made from one hundred and eight top-grade diamonds, and…”

“Now, the starting price is ten million Yuan. You can start the bidding now.”

After the host had finished its introduction, someone immediately raised the bidding amount, but they were increasing it by a million Yuan at a time, and some even only increased five hundred thousand Yuan.

Casey thought that this was a drag, so he immediately stood up and went to the window and shouted, “I bid thirty million Yuan!”

Everybody was shocked by his words as they turned around to look in the direction of Casey’s private room. But due to the specially made window, nobody could discern Casey’s appearance.

“This guy must be crazy! He bids thirty million Yuan in one shot, and this amount far exceeds the necklace’s original price.”

“Who is that person who bid this amount? He’s too generous. Is he the richest man in J City?”

“My god, I initially thought that I could buy this necklace with fifteen million Yuan as a gift for my wife. But now, I think I can only dream about it.”

“This is really frustrating! This is how a wealthy person sound like. The total amount of our assets are just enough for someone like him to spend it on luxury items.”
