Chapter 344
Daniel took a fancy to an antique vase and offered a bid that no one could
The others immediately knew what they should do. No one fought with him. Seeing that Daniel was
about the get the vase, Alexanderzily raised his sign. “460 thousand dors.” Daniel looked up at him
with gloom in his eyes.
Alexander smiled back. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sullivan. Our tastes are very simr.”
“Heh.” Daniel replied indifferently.
The surrounding people immediately grew silent.
The auctioneer on the stage was even trembling with fear.
While the big shots were fighting, the small potatoes feared.
The bidding went on. The antique,vase was worth a bit more than 400 thousand dors, but now the
two even offered more than 1.8 million dors. They were even about to offer more than two million
dors. The auctioneer didn’t even dare to drop his hammer.
Daniel was sitting on the chair without speaking. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and he exuded a
dignified aura. Just by sitting here, his aura enveloped the entire auction hall, making people tremble in
fear.
Alexander, who was sitting on the other side, was not inferior either. His eyes were deep and gloomy,
and his aura was powerful and majestic.
The two of them seemed to be targeting each other, neither of them giving in.
The vase on the stage seemed to be more than just a vase now. It had some symbolic meaning while
either of the men was willing to give in.
Thepetition had reached its climax.
lexander had already raised the price to 2.4 million dors.
he auctioneer on the stage did not drop his hammer. Instead, he looked straight at Daniel, waiting for
im to bid.
[owever, this time, Daniel did not raise his sign. Instead, he stared gloomily at Alexander with a livid
*pression.
lexander sneered. His voice was neither loud nor soft, and it was just loud enough for the people
around im to hear. “What’s wrong, Mr. Sullivan? Do you not have enough money to continue the
bidding now?” aniel did not say anything but kept his face straight.
eing this, Alexander smiled even more wantonly. He looked at Olivia’s face and said meaningfully, “It
ems that Mr. Sullivan doesn’t like this vase so much. He’s not even willing to offer merely 2 million
?rs.”
eh…” Alexander sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.
is time, he did not wait for Daniel to bid but just raised his sign again. “4 million dors.”
1 my god, 4 million dors!
1. r. Alexander is spending 4 million dors on a vase. He values this vase too much!‘
eryone present was shocked. It was not that they could not afford to offer 4 million dors, but the vase
the stage was really not worth it. Buying it was equivalent to spending 4 million dors on nothing.
r a moment, everyone’s gazes shifted back and forth between Alexander, Olivia, and Daniel. They were
thinking about what was happening.
eemed that Mr. Alexander had won thepetition between him and Daniel.
e auctioneer counted to three and brought down the hammer.
In the end, Alexander got the antique vase.
He raised his eyebrows and nced at Daniel, his eyes filled with pride.
After Alexander sessfully got the vase, the resentment on Daniel’s face immediately dissipated,
turning into a calm expression.
Alexander’s heart skipped a beat when he noticed that.
He frowned and thought to himself, ‘Is Daniel trying to scam me? He bade on purpose and made me
bid for this vase at ten times the price.
Just as Alexander was letting his imagination run wild, Daniel suddenly ced his chin on Olivia’s
shoulder. He sounded aggrieved when he said, “Honey, he’s bullying me.”
Olivia was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Daniel and happened to meet his watery eyes. They
were so clear. He looked so pitiful and cute like a kitten that had been wronged which came over to its
owner to ask them to stroke its fur.
Olivia’s heart instantly softened.
She was actually not used to being close to others. Even though she liked Daniel now, she still clearly
distinguished their rtionship and her business.
She would hide her identity as the dean of the Capitol Research Institute and prioritize her career. She
would never think of discussing anything that was rted to her career with Daniel. She rarely
interfered with Daniel’s affairs.
She had always adhered to a principle that even if they were husband and wife, they needed a sense
of distance. They would do their own things and stay out of each other’s business.
She was too rational.
Because she was too rational, she would rarely be sentimental.
However, Daniel always broke her principles.
In fact, Olivia could tell that Daniel and Alexander werepeting. Naturally, she was biased toward
Daniel. However, in such an asion, she could not do much to interfere. For Daniel’s sake, she
remained ilent.
However, looking at the aggrieved look on Daniel’s face, Olivia instantly felt for him. She couldn’t care
ess about her principles andforted him gently. “I’m here. What can I do for you? I’ll avenge you.”
When Daniel heard those words, his eyes instantly lit up.
What Olivia said was what he had been waiting for.
Daniel rested his head on Olivia’s shoulder and nced at Alexander. He felt that Alexander was really

ter saying that, he even grabbed Olivia’s hand and fiddled with her fingers.
eing this scene, Alexander suddenly felt that it looked familiar for some reason.

He frowned and thought for a long time before realizing that Daniel was showing their affection, just like
those loving couples did in TV shows.
Daniel surely knew how to show off their affection and make others jealous.
Alexander ground his teeth and suddenly felt the desire to punch Daniel’s smug handsome face.
The auction continued. Later, Alexander continued to bid for a few more items, but every time he raised
his sign. Olivia followed.
With a gloomy expression, she looked like she was going to get even with him since he had bullied
Daniel
In any case, she was deliberately causing trouble and bullying Alexander.
Alexander was angry and aggrieved. His face was pale and darkened.
He gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, almost crushing it.
Daniel was admiring Alexander’s crazed expression. He would asionally turn to Olivia and smile
brightly. “You’re the best, Olivia.”
Alexander was so pissed that he gritted his teeth. He could not help but say gloomily, “Daniel, don’t you
feel ashamed? You’re actually living off a woman!”
“What’s wrong with living off a woman? It feels great. You can’t get to live off a woman even if you want
to.” Daniel did not feel any pressure at all. Back when he was at the bottom of the cliff, his heart
belonged to Olivia. He was already used to living off a woman, so he did not feel any pressure when he
said this. The surrounding people heard Daniel’s words and looked stunned.
They found it hard to believe that as the richest man, Daniel actually said that he was living off a
woman so confidently and bluntly.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
