Winner Takes All novel Chapter 198

The voice was calm.

Yet the voice was like a giant thunderclap.

In an instant, everyone looked towards the room which the voice came from.

“One hundred million, the guest in the room upstairs, bid one hundred million!”

The auctioneer shouted excitedly.

Immediately, everyone in the auction hall finally came back to their senses.

The shout of surprises filled the air.

“Oh my God! Who’s that sitting upstairs? He already bid 100 million?”

“The price is doubled, looks like this person is determined!”

“It’s too ruthless, it’s inhumane, could the person in the room be Aiden Lott?”

…

In the room.

Jack put down the microphone and leaned back in his chair. He was waiting quietly.

This was his first time attending an auction.

Yet he had worked out some tricks by watching a few rounds of the auction.

The premise of highest bidder wins. With rounds of bidding, it would only make someone more excited and kept on bidding.

And it would usually end up with the price far exceeding the original price of the lot.

So the fastest way to resolve an auction was by bidding with a high amount.

It could also ensure that any competitors to be rationale and not get carried away

“100 million?”

Yael blurted out.

Vinna’s eyebrows were knitted together, and she looked furious, “Mr. Hughes, is this bodyguard of yours bidding for you? This is too much, and he is out of bounds!”

The way of master and servant. How can a servant do anything without being told by his master?

As a direct descendant of the Vaughn family, she was a rich beauty.

Vinna had participated in countless auctions, and there were quite incidents where their bodyguard was to do the bidding. But all those bodyguards had bid at the behest of their masters.

She had even done it to get her bodyguard to help with the bidding.

And just now, ‘Mr. Hughes’ didn’t say a word.

“I want to buy it,” Jack calmly said. “This Blue Ocean Teardrop is for my fiancée.”

Vinna was very shocked, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Immediately, she started snorted, “Oh my, you have a lot of nerves! You’re mere Jack’s bodyguard, you simply bid 100 million, do you have that much of money?”

Vinna didn’t hide her contempt and disdain for Jack when she said this.

A mere bodyguard who opened his mouth and bid for 100 million?

Why wouldn’t you look at yourself in a mirror?

“100 million, is that a lot?”

Jack gave Vinna a sidelong glance.

Vinna smiled, “Not much, not much at all. But don’t blame me for not being kind enough to remind you that this is an official auction. If you are unable to pay after the knocked down , you’ll be subjected to legal action.”

Jack smiled disdainfully and paid no further attention.

But it was such a look from Jack seemed to trigger Vinna’s nerves.

She was so furious that she was about to explode.

She was Vinna Vaughn from the Vaughn family, yet she was…scorned by a bodyguard?

She turned her head towards Yael, “Mr. Hughes, this is your bodyguard?”

Yael was embarrassed for a while.

He looked at Jack, Yael said helplessly, “He’s my brother, please don’t mind him.”

“But you clearly said that you were going to buy it for me.”

Vinna pouted and took Yael’s arm. She said pitifully, “Mr. Hughes, you’ve promised me. Are you going to be a man of your word?”

In the beginning, Vinna would never have acted like this.

But now she was sure that ‘Mr. Hughes’ was interested in her.

Vinna and ‘Jack’ liked each other and willingly. She was just acting like a child, and it wasn’t anything serious.

Yael shrugged helplessly, “As you’ve heard, my brother wants to give it to her fiancée. Isn’t it good to help someone out? He bided 100 million means that he really wants it. Let’s just give it to him this, and I’ll just buy another for you.”

“But does he have that much money to buy it?”

Vinna was indignant, she had never taken the ‘Blue Ocean Teardrop’ seriously before. And was purely for a medium to bring ‘Jack’ to get closer to her.

But when she finally saw the Blue Ocean Teardrop, she was moved even with her knowledge.

What woman wouldn’t love a bejewelled jade?

Mostly that this bejewelled jade was a top-notch artwork!
