Chapter 484
"What? That’s the husband of Selena Taylor, the Beauty Queen of the Middle Province?"
"Yeah, this shrimp is extremely fortunate to have Selena as his wife! Everyone envies him!" 1
"What’s there to be jealous about? That shrimp is just the son-inw of the Taylors by name, he could
be treated like useless trash at home. Knowing that the Taylor family cast them out of the residence, I
bet he''s not recognized as their real son-inw!"
"That''s right! His mother-inw definitely hates his guts. After all, their family suffered so much because
o f him!" 1
Many of the businessmen present started to tittle-tattle about them in hushed voices, some with
contempt in their eyes.
Fane did not bother wasting his energy on all the gossip. He turned his head to the side and said,
"Yeah, Ivan. What a coincidence! I didn''t quite expect to meet you here!”
"Heh, if my guess is correct, you''ve asked Miss Tanya for an advance of two months, and you''re here
to bid for this luxurious vi as a gift for grandpa Taylor''s 70th birthday, am I right?"
Ivan chortled and continued, "You''ve got a great idea, I''ll give you that! This gift is not an ordinary one.
It’s
exorbitant and is worth at least 10 million! When the day arrives and you give this to grandpa Taylor,
you''d gain some face and the Taylor family will finally ept you, am I right?
"But too bad for you! It just so happens that I''ve got my eye on this vi, too. So I''m sorry to break this
to you but your efforts today shall be in vain."
Ivanughed mockingly and added, “Gifting Grandpa Taylor this vi is an awesome idea of mine. It''s
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
the most worthy and suitable present that''s able to express my filial piety to him as his grandson! And
the money that you brought with you today is probably less than what I have! So, you literally have n o
game in today''s auction!”
"I really admire your confidence!"
Fane effused a cold smile and decided not to pay attention to these three shrimps.
Time passed by rather slowly. Other than Fane, the three young masters, and several businessmen,
there were only two to three other people from what seemed like third-ss aristocrat families in the
room. They were obviously interested in this vi as well, hoping they could get it at a cheaper price.
After a few minutes, a middle-aged woman came in sight, approaching the auction counter. She was
wearing an aqua green cheongsam, shing a big smile to the crowd as she walked in.
"Wee everyone to the auction house! It''s time to
kick off our auction for today!
"Today''s auction is a little bit different as it wasmissioned by Mr. Ryan..."
The middle-aged woman gave an introduction before continuing, "Alright! Let’s not waste time and
begin our event! The starting price for today''s item is 10 million bucks and is considered lower than the
market price! Your bid cannot be lower than 1 million!
"Now,dies and gentlemen, you may start the bidding!"
The middle-aged woman gestured with her hand and the auction began.
"11 million from me!” an old man shouted. He tentatively added a million after thinking about it for a
while.
"12 million here!"
Soon, another man who looked like he was in his forties yelled, adding another million.
One million did not seem much for the people in this room.
Fane did not budge in the slightest. He knew very well that this vi was worth more than that. It was a
spacious three-story vi with an exceptionally strategic location. Such a vi would cost more than 2 0
million. Hence, he knew it was impossible to get it at 11 or 12 million bucks.
Besides, there were quite some people here today for
this auction.
Ivan, who was sitting beside Fane, did not start bidding immediately as well. Rather, he turned his head
towards Fane and sneered.
He wanted to wait for Fane to start bidding. Once Fane started to ce his bid, he would raise his bid
just to beat him. He wanted to let him know that nobody could take whatever he had his eye on,
especially not b y a useless son-inw.
