Winner Takes All novel Chapter 199

Vinna was stunned, her mind was blank, her eyes widened and stared at Jack.

She felt that the sky was spinning.

In front of her, the man was Jack Hughes, so whose arms was she snuggling in just now?

Jack gave a sidelong glare at Vinna, feeling somewhat frustrated.

The auctioneer downstairs had already started to shout.

When ‘Going thrice’ came out from his mouth.

Thump!

The gavel had fallen.

The thumping sound was clear, and no one gave another bid.

As the 200 million had knocked down in the auction house, the deafening shouts filled the room.

Whether it was the ground floor or the second floor’s guests, all eyes were on the room in the middle.

Everyone was curious about which one of them had made such an astronomical bid!

Blue Ocean Teardrop was rare; otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused Vinna to freak out.

But with the scale of this auction house in this city. Whether the appearance of the Blue Ocean Teardrop or the bidding of 200 million was enough to send a shockwave to every guest.

Inside the room.

“Let’s go.”

Jack got up, walked past Vinna and headed outside.

He didn’t even give a single glance at Vinna when he headed out.

He had gotten what he wanted, and the Vaughn family’s purpose was evident.

If the Vaughn family had tried to get closer to him by ordinary means, Jack wouldn’t mind about it. But he couldn’t accept that they played this badger game on him.

Vinna’s body trembled once more, she finally came around.

Looking at Jack’s back, Vinna red lips mumbled, “Mr. Hughes…”

The words came to her lips, but she couldn’t make up a sentence.

When she thought of how she had treated Jack just now, she felt a sense of shame that made it difficult to even apologise.

“Baby…”

Yael was somewhat fond of Vinna’s beauty. Among all the girls he had ever seen, she was definitely in the top three of his shortlists.

What’s more, Vinna had a powerful background that made her to be the number one in Yael’ s shortlists.

“Go away!”

Vinna was furious and rebuked angrily at Yael.

Yael stunned and shrugged, “Actually, I’m not that bad either. I’m at least a former member of Quinn’s family in X city. Because I killed my father and I ask for my own expulsion from the family pedigree?”

Rumble!

Vinna was shocked as if she was struck by lightning, and her gorgeous face turned pale.

As the Vaughn family’s first daughter, the Quinn family’s incident in X city back then was well known, and everyone knew about them.

She didn’t know Yael, but she heard about this incident.

At the thought that she had snuggled into the arms of a man who killed his father, Vinna heart raced. Nausea and fear were felt to the core.

Vinna grabbed the cup in a rage and smashed it directly at Yael.

“Get the hell out of here!”

“I’m leaving. Here, this is my contact details.”

Yael put down a business card with a face full of indifference, turned around and left.

Vinna’s face was pale in the room, her chest was heaving violently.

The scene from earlier replayed in her mind as if it were a nightmare.

Her mind was filled with shame, hatred, remorse, and panic.

It overwhelmed her.

After leaving the room, Jack and Yael didn’t leave the auction house. They were led by staff to the backstage of the auction house and went through all the formalities.

The formalities were quickly filled out. The staff delivered the jewellery box containing ‘Blue Ocean Teardrop’ to Jack.

“Mr. Hughes, congratulations. This is a precious item that my boss has treasured for many years. And when he learnt of the arrival of his distinguished guest. He especially brought it out for the auction.”

“Who is your boss?” Jack asked curiously.

Since it was taken out because of a distinguished guest, it was probably because of Vinna Vaughn’s family.

Vaughn family was one of the more powerful families in the capital city, but they were not enough to be the top.
