Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 The Winning Game

Benjamin was furious that someone thought he had run out of money.

Regardless of how poor he would be, he was still the eldest son of the Quigley family.

Although his father was still in charge of the main business of Quigley Group, he would take over the company sooner or later.

He would do anything at any cost to reclaim his dignity. It didn’t matter that 75 million dollars was the profit of his branch company for a year. Money could be earned when it was gone. Moreover, though those collections were a little expensive, they still had collection values.

On top of that, he still had 120 million dollars left on his card.

This time, he had fallen into Julian’s trick unexpectedly.

The auction would still take a long time before it ended. Benjamin thought that he would raise the bid a few more times later to trick Julian the same way.

As he thought about it, he felt a little balanced in his heart.

Madeline told Annalise that she had to go to the restroom.

Then, Madeline went out to make a phone call, and soon a staff member came looking for her.

Respectfully and politely, the staff said, “Ezra, I didn’t expect to see you in person today. It’s a great privilege.”

They couldn’t believe that Ezra was so young.

That was because rumor had it that Ezra was an eighty-year-old man who had two to three wives.

“Shh! Keep it a secret!” Madeline said.

“Okay, okay. Don’t worry,” the staff said respectfully.

Madeline took a painting from the trunk of her car and handed it to the staff.

There were still a lot of paintings in her trunk. Some of them were painted casually, and some were carefully crafted.

It all depended on her mood when she was painting.

If she was bored, she would carefully craft it. If there was a card game, she would just paint it casually.

She had only planned to donate one painting at the charity gala that day.

After all, her works were all worth at least a few million dollars, and it was already a great deed to donate one.

Nonetheless, thinking that Benjamin seemed to be very interested in her painting, she decided to donate another one to crush him.

Back to the auction, she felt energized.

The item that was being auctioned at the moment was a piece of porcelain.

The most popular auction items nowadays were porcelain and paintings.

There were many bidders on the scene, but neither Julian nor Benjamin took any action.

After a few more auctioned items passed, Benjamin and Julian were still unusually quiet.

Then, it was Ezra’s painting again.

There was another uproar at the scene.

“What’s going on? How can there be another of Ezra’s paintings?”

“Yeah, it’s so strange. It’s hard to find Ezra’s painting. Only a charity gala of high standard can have Ezra’s painting, but there are actually two today. What an eye-opener!”

“Yeah. Even if we can’t afford it, it’s good to see it at least.”

“Yeah!”

Seeing Ezra’s work again, Benjamin’s eyes flashed with a fiery light. “Isn’t this God’s will to fulfill my filial piety. to Grandpa?’ he wondered.

He completely forgot that he was going to compete on the price with Julian and decisively participated in the bidding

Julian was indeed determined to go against Benjamin that night

If Benjamin didn’t take a bid, he wouldn’t take it. As soon as Benjamin made an offer, he would rai price than the former’s

Many people, who were watching the scene, became excited

A painting with a starting price of 1.5 million dollars was raised to 30 million dollars in no time.

As Benjamin was suppressed by Julian, he huffed with anger.
