Chapter 4 Auction (Part Two)


    Star smiled and thought that she was quite important in Sawyer''s heart, and she just ignored the


    instant tangle of emotions in his eyes.


    Silence reigned in the room. Brian continued to y with the bidding card in his hands thoughtfully,


    while Vincent was grinning from ear to ear. ''The higher the prices reach, the more money I can get, '' he


    thought.


    Just when people thought that no one would brave enough to face down to Brian, a naive and yet


    somewhat indomitable voice rang out, "200 million!"


    All eyes were attracted by the voice behind this new bidding card. When they saw the bidder, they


    looked at each other, and they could have swallowed several eggs with their ck-jawed mouths


    hanging open in surprise.


    Charles quite enjoyed the sight of the surprised crowd, and he said, "Being a gentleman, I''m both


    handsome and debonair, and therefore, everyone loves me. It''s excusable for all of you to be attracted


    by my appeal. But can you stop looking at me like starving wolves? I''m afraid my heart will ache!"


    Before the crowd could react, Charles'' sharp voice had already drawn them back to their senses. The


    corners of their mouths remained stiff for a long time. They couldn''t help but wonder, ''Damn it! Where


    did this narcissistic little guye from? He looks so familiar. Have we met him before? But where?''


    They remained lost in thought for quite a while.

    Charles seemed oblivious to what was happening. He stared at the bracelet in front of him. He had


    promised his mommy he''d get it. But undoubtedly, his extremely narcissistic words had sessfully


    attracted the attentions of Brian and Sawyer. They turned to him at the same time. Someone made a


    pping sound as he hit his thigh and said, "Oh, this boy looks just like Mr. Brian!"


    In an instant, the crowd was very excited. "Yes, he does look like Mr. Brian. That''s right!"


    They hadn''t expected it because it was difficult to find someone equally elegant and talented to Brian.


    Now they saw a handsome man like Brian, but unexpectedly he was a little boy! Hold on... Little guy...


    The crowd went silent like boiled water that had cooled down. They looked first at Brian and then at


    Charles. The simrity of their features,bined with Brian''s unmistakable way of doing things,


    quickly seeded a bold guess in everyone''s hearts.


    As soon as Brian saw Charles, the smile on his face disappeared little by little. The smile vanished, and


    a deeply pensive look shed in his eyes. Cassie also sensed that he was acting strangely. "Brian..."


    However, she didn''t stir any reaction in Brian. Fixing her eyes at Charles, she grasped Brian''s fingers


    tightly.


    On another face, there was something unreadable glimmering as Vincent looked at the two.


    Although Charles'' attention was focused on the stage, it didn''t mean that he couldn''t feel the burning


    eyes from all around him. "I know you all admire my grace. But can we get down to business first?"


    He gazed at the bracelet on the stage with scorching eyes, which made everyone want to call him to


    discipline. Who was this shameless child? People nced at Brian, but he didn''t make any response.


    Once again, they didn''t know what he was thinking about this eerie event that had urred.


    "You, little boy, 200 million dors is not pocket change. This is not a ce to have fun," someone in


    the crowd said and made everyone return their attention to this important thing that they were here for.


    200 million was not a thing that could be sniffed at, not to mention such a little guy, who might not even


    know the concept of 200 million.


    To be honest, such suspicious gazes made Charles quite unhappy. It was obvious that he was being


    underestimated. With his lips trembling, he took a domineering step forward with one of his short legs


    and brushed a few hairs back from his forehead with one hand. "How dare you think such a handsome


    guy can''t afford this?"


    With his big eyes wide open, Charles seemed intent on marching up to fight whoever dared to deny


    him. Seeing such a gesture, Brian smiled and said, "Mr. Su, since no one wants to raise the price, this


    bracelet belongs to this boy ording to the rules of the auction."


    When he spoke, everyone was stunned. It was obvious that there was no doubt in his eyes. Could it be


    said that... Everyone''s thoughts were once again running wild with spections.


    "Well, isn''t Mr. Brian starting the bidding now?" Vincent looked at Brian with a cunning smile, which


    contained something that only the two of them knew.


    "It''s rare for a child to be so interested in a bid. I can''tpete with a child, let alone..." Brian looked at


    Charles, who looked so simr to him. No one could read the meaning in Brian''s deep eyes.


    As soon as Brian finished talking, Charles nodded in agreement. He was very satisfied with Brian''s


    performance. When Brian looked at him, he felt it.


    He remembered that his mommy had told him that no matter the character of people, their eyes


    couldn''t tell lies. However, Brian''s eyes, except for the initial surprise, were too calm. ''It seems that my


    father isn''t who he appears on the surface.''


    Charles blinked at Brian with his clear and wide eyes and a sly smile, which stunned Brian in its guile-


    fullness. It seemed that he needed to investigate this carefully.


    After three beats of the auctioneer''s gavel, Charles received the hot ne at a price of 200 million.


    He happily smiled and verged on jumping up and down in excitement. "Wow! Here it is! How are you


    going to praise me?"


    In an instant, Charles turned smugly to Emily. People started to notice the woman sitting next to him.


    As Charles had offered a high price just now, everyone''s eyes had been attracted to him, so they had


    ignored the woman with him.


    Emily hadn''t taken off her sunsses the whole time, and half of her body was leaning against the seat


    to bnce at an intricate angle. It was no wonder that people hadn''t noticed her just now. They only


    saw that Emily dragged her jaw slightly and looked aroundzily. If they didn''t know that she was in an


    auction, they would have thought that she was out having fun at an amusement park.


    But it was undeniable that even though she wore sunsses, it was difficult to cover up her


    temperament.


    Disregarding everyone''s gaze, she slowly sat up and gently straightened her clothes. "Oh! Two


    hundred million! What do you want as a reward?" As soon as she spoke up in such a low voice,


    Charles knew that something was wrong, so he ran as fast as he could. However, before he took the


    first step, Emily caught him. She said, "Boy, can you be more patient? How dare you spend 200 million


    in such a frivolous act?"


    "You said you wanted it, but you didn''t say how much it should cost," Charles exined and wasn''t as


    bold as he had been a moment ago. Although he was fearless, he couldn''t be arrogant with his mother.


    Especially when it came to money, his mother was always a frightening force to resist.


    "I didn''t ask you to spend 200 million." Two hundred million was a lot of money. She felt angered about


    it.


    "I have paid it." Charles emphasized the fact that made Emily feel bad.


    "You bad boy, learn something good. Don''t pretend to be generous like Brian Yun. Are you rich?"


    Charles felt helpless. In fact, they didn''tck money at all. But facing his mommy, who loved money, he


    couldn''t do anything but bear her chastisement. He thought for a moment and then said, "Woman, you


    should know that Brian spent all his money on loose women. He never paid for his own business. He is


    a dissipated, dissolute, and wasteful character. I have spent my money and life on my mother. It''s


    called generosity. I''m filial and sensible. Don''t degrade me by putting me and Brian in the same


    category."


    Charles'' words were quite silly. After a quick nce at his narcissistic face, Emily found that he was a


    child who shared the same blood with Brian, so he was undoubtedly simr to Brian.


    Everyone was left speechless by the two people in front of them. They looked at Brian, who was


    affected by this dispute for no reason, and he was watching it happily. He didn''t mind to beughed at.


    "Miss, can you tell me what the oue of your dispute is?"


    Vincent spoke first. He enjoyed watching theical scene, but it didn''t mean that he forgot to charge


    the bidding price. After all, he valued money a lot. Emily looked up at him slightly, let go of Charles, and


    waved her hands. "The bracelet is quite suitable for me..."


    With a smile on his face, Vincent knew very well that he had to wait for Emily''s reply. As expected, she


    said, "But I don''t want to pay for it. What should I do now?" Emily looked very worried now.


    All the people were almost falling from their seats with mirth at the strange event. Damn, what was


    this? The supremacy! You have to see what it is when you want to skip out on the bill. This was an


    auction held by the World International Group. Anyone with any sense at all wouldn''t dare to make


    trouble here. Thinking of what Charles had done just now, and judging from Emily''s reaction, the two


    really believed that they could get away with it!


    "If thisdy doesn''t want it, could you please transfer it to me?" a soft voice said. Even if she didn''t look


    up at him, she knew who the voice belonged to.


    "I didn''t realize that Mr. Sawyer would like this bracelet so much!" Emily said in a low voice devoid of


    any emotion.


    Sawyer paused for a moment and replied slowly, "My fiancee likes this bracelet very much."


    When Star heard this, she was so moved and happy. "Dearest Sawyer..."


    Sawyer smiled kindly at Star, but he looked more than a little dejected.
