Chapter 555
Just as Mango was about to say something to Marissa, she suddenly grabbed her hand and said,
"That''s him!"
A man was brought out of the stage, and he looked absolutely stunning. If Marissa hadn''t told her in
advance, she would have really thought that he was a woman, one beautiful enough to rock the
world.
"Is he a man?"
Then Marissa nodded her head quickly.
"Yes. His name is Desmond Blu."

Marissa''s gaze had been fixed on him ever since he appeared.
After that, the host on stage gave an introduction.
"Look what we have here! This is a rare beauty we have for auction. His blood is blue in color, just
like his hair. Furthermore, it is said that his blood can be used as a medicine. Ladies and
gentlemen, take a look at his appearance. Observe just how stunning and breath-taking he is."
Next, Desmond was brought up to the stage but he looked weak and powerless. He was ring at
the host with his blue eyes, but even so, his gaze was still so alluring.
"I''ll bid five million."
Someone had begun to bid for him.
''TH pay five million and five hundred thousand dors!"
The people below raised the price like a bunch of fanatics.
As Mango looked at him from above, she marveled at the existence of such a person. Setting aside
his stunning appearance, Mango had never heard of anyone with blue blood.
"Is his blood really blue?"
Mango looked at Marissa as she spoke.
Meanwhile, Marissa''s eyes were full of tears. Then, she bit her lower lip and said, "Yes, he''s actually
had a hard life. He was brought to theboratory when he was in the womb. His mother died from
the experiment, but he was lucky enough to survive after the Caesarean section. However, his
blood was turned blue. My father said that this was caused by gic modification, but I didn''t
understand it either. Everyone kept saying that his blood could be used as medicine. Growing up,
he''s faced discrimination and judgement. I wanted him to leave, but I didn''t expect that he would
actually be caught by these
people."
Mango moved her gaze to Desmond again.
His skin was as white as snow.
Any normal person would definitely not have a skin colour like that.
The host then lifted Desmond''s sleeve, and blue blood vessels could be seen clearly beneath his
pale white skin.
Next, the bidding price became increasingly higher.
"Pa, I''m begging you. I''ll do anything for you as long as you bid for him."
Marissa cried so hard that her face was covered with tears.
Then, Mango said in a low voice, "His bidding price is rising. You have to know that it is not
something we can put a limit on."
"Please! I''m begging you!"
Marissa grasped tightly in her hand and Mango felt a little sad after looking at her desperate and
expectant gaze.
Out of fear that Mango would refuse to do so, Marissa gritted her teeth and said, "Desmond has an
ability, and his sense of smell is very sharp. As long as he smells your husband''s scent, he will
definitely be able to help you find him."
"Are you saying Desmond is a dog?"
Honestly, Mango felt that her words were too farfetched.
"It''s true. I''m not lying to you."
Marissa defended her statement quickly.
Seeing her like this, Mango let out a sigh and said, "I don''t have much money right now, and all I
have is my husband''s money. I can promise to win the bid for you, but you have to make sure that
he will help me find my husband."
"Definitely!"
Marissa nodded quickly.
Mango had no choice but to lend her an helping hand, seeing that they also looked quite simr to
each other.
The bid price continued to rise, but Mango did not bid. By the time the bid reached ten million,
everyone stopped adding on.
Seeing that Desmond was about to be auctioned off, Mango calmly rang the auction bell.
"I''ll pay one million and one hundred dors."
The bidders were annoyed as soon as she announced the bidding price.
"I''ll add a hundred dors." "Then I''ll add ten thousand more."
Nevertheless, Mango continued to bid.
The other parties were so angry that they wanted to take a good look at Mango''s face. However,
due to the dim lightning, they could not see it clearly.
"I''ll add a hundred thousand more."
"I''ll add another million."
Mango said it as if it wasn''t much of a deal to her.
In the end, the other party gave up.
Eventually, Mango sessfully bought Desmond at a price of 10.1 million dors.
By the time the bid had reached ten million, Marissa''s expression had be unbelievably sour
and Mango could tell that she didn''t have that much money. However, she had no choice but to bid
for it.
Soon, Desmond was brought to Mango''s room.
"Madam, please pay the bill. This beautiful specimen will belong to you as long as you make the full
payment."
Meanwhile, Desmond tried his best to struggle, but he was defenceless. Therefore, he could only
re at the host fiercely with his piercing, sharp gaze.
However, the host had long been ustomed to this kind of expression, so he didn''t care at all.
Then, Mango put on her mask before taking out her phone and making the payment.
The money was paid from Nathaniel''s private ount.
After everything was done, the host handed the leash that Desmond was on over to Mango and
said, "Madam, he has been injected with drugs, so his limbs will be weakened for 12 hours. You just
need to give him an antidote to help him recover. However, I have to remind you that we are not
responsible for his disappearance. Thus, take good care of him and don''t let him escape, otherwise,
we will notpensate for your loss."
"Frankly speaking, you just don''t care about aftersales service, do you? How would I know if the
drug you injected into him is an anaesthetic? It could very well be poison. If a perfect specimen like
him dies after I bring him home, wouldn''t it be a huge loss for me?"
Mango spoke in a somewhat frivolous manner, as if she was ascivious woman.
However, the host said with a smile, "That won''t happen. We will give you a health certificate. If
you''re still concerned, we will send someone to check on his condition right now."
"Forget it, everyone here works for you, so I''d never get the truth. I think I''d better take him back
and have a look myself."
"Then, please take your goods with you, Madam."
Desmond''s expression turned bitter when he heard the host''s words.
No one would prefer being tossed around like objects.
Hence, Desmond was extremely hostile towards Mango. However, he was helpless and could only
do as he was told.
"I''m telling you, your money is going to waste because I''m never going to stay with you."
Desmond''s voice was clear and maic.
If it weren''t for the fact that Mango was taken, she would undoubtedly fall for his charm.
He was a very beautiful man!
Maybe it was inappropriate to describe a man as beautiful, but she couldn''t think of any other word
except for that.
"You''d better take what you said back, or I''m not going to return you to her."
Mango spoke in a t tone.
On the other hand, he was slightly stunned by her calm andposed manner.
Desmond had experience with people from all walks of life ever since he was a child. Therefore, he
could tell if Mango was interested in him or not at a nce.
However, if she did not want him, why would she buy him?
"Who are you going to give me to?"
"Desmond!"
As soon as he spoke, Marissa jumped out and hugged him.
"I finally found you. I managed to save you, Desmond."
Marissa cried tearfully as she spoke.
Meanwhile, Desmond was slightly stunned, and his whole body froze in ce. He looked at Marissa
in disbelief and asked in a low voice, "Marissa? Why are you here?"
"I came to save you. Dad didn''t allow me to look for you, so I worked so hard to track down your
whereabouts. You''re free now, and no one will lock you up again, not even my father."
Marissa gave Desmond a thorough once-over.
Meanwhile, Mango stood to one side. Seeing the excitement in their eyes, she couldn''t help but
think of Nathaniel.
Where was Nathaniel?
"Well, this is not the ce for you to rekindle your rtionship. Here''s the antidote. Hurry up and
release him. We can''t get him out of here if he''s in such a weak and feeble state.."
After that, Mango threw the antidote to Marissa.
Meanwhile, Desmond looked at Mango in confusion before he looked at Marissa again, "What did
Marissa promise you in order for you to buy me at such a high price? Marissa doesn''t have money."
"Desmond!"
Marissa felt embarrassed after being exposed, and she didn''t dare to look at Mango.
She really didn''t have the money, and she couldn''t use her father''s money either.
Then, Mango nced at her and shook her head, saying, "Of course I know she doesn''t have any
money. I knew about it ages ago. The reason why I bought you is that she told me that you could
help me find my husband. So, I don''t care no matter how much it costs. Money is nothingpared
to my husband."
Next, Marissa''s face flushed red.
"Miss Gerner, I''m sorry."
"Forget it, it''s fine. I just need to find my husband. Marissa said that your nose is very sensitive and
you can find him through his scent. Is that true?"
After that, Mango looked at him expectantly.
Then, Desmond turned his head and looked at Marissa, while Marissa stuck out her tongue.
"Oh lord, there you go spouting nonsense again."
Desmond sighed softly and said apologetically to Mango, "I''m sorry, Marissa might have used you.
No matter what, you''ve bought me, so I''m yours. I''ll do whatever you want me to do until I can pay
you back. This matter has nothing to do with Marissa. Can you let her leave first?"
"I won''t go! I want to be with you, Desmond!"
Marissa held his hand tightly.
Desmond looked at her dotingly and said, "Stop messing around. This isn''t a good ce. A girl like
you shouldn''t be here. Besides, if your father finds out that you''vee to find me, he''ll be pissed.
Listen to me, I''m fine now. I''lle find you when I''ve regained my freedom."
"No! I don''t want to!"
Marissa refused to agree to it no matter what.
Seeing this, Mangopletely understood the entire situation. She couldn''t believe that she was
stupid enough to trust such an exaggerated statement. She was definitely disappointed, but she
had to continue her journey in search of Nathaniel.
"Well, I don''t care. Since he doesn''t have the ability to do it, I''m going to find my husband myself.
Marissa, remember what you promised me. You will rece me until the end of the auction."
This was the only thing Mango could ask Marissa to do now.
This was only because she couldn''t be found out!
If Marissa reced her, she would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to take a look
backstage. Perhaps Nathaniel was among them? Although the possibility of this happening was
almost zero, Mango was still a little uneasy.
