Chapter 653
X Quest stood up with a faint smile. “Yeah…”
“And he is…?” Christopher Lancelot asked as he nced at Jeremy Quest, who was sitting across
from X.
“He’s my father,” answered X.
Upon hearing that, Christopher immediately reached out his hand to Jeremy. “Hello, Uncle. I’m
Christopher Lancelot.”
Jeremy quickly rose to his feet and gripped Christopher’s hand, his eyes fixed thoughtfully upon the
man’s face.
He remembered hearing the man’s name from his business partners before. If he was not mistaken,
the man in front of him was a very sessful businessman in Country Y. Besides having arge
company and a huge market, he was well-connected too. Nheless, he was also a very powerful
gangster in the gang.
Jeremy smiled politely while shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“I’ll leave you guys alone first… Let’s have a short chat after the auction is over.” Christopher
behaved decently.
Jeremy nodded in response.
With that, Christopher walked away from the two of them and sat at the next table, his long yet
slender legsfortably crossed. His fingers were zippily tapping the tabletop as he watched the
auctioneer introducing the event today on the stage.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
The man sat facing X. Whenever X raised her head, his delicate jawline and his sexy Adam’s
apple would hove into her view.
X looked away from him sheepishly and sat down together with Jeremy, focusing on the stage.
Soon, the auctioneer exhibited the first product for auction.
It was a European vintage ceramic vase that was used by the royal family in ancient times.
Jeremy fell in love with the vase at first sight. Without hesitation, he joined the crowd and raised his
auction paddle.
In a blink of an eye, the price of the vase was raised from one million five hundred thousand dors
to fifteen million dors…
Atst, Jeremy won his beloved vase for fifteen million dors.
He was overwhelmed with joy.
Looking at her father’s thrilled reaction, X felt delighted, too.
Her lips subconsciously curved up into a genuine smile.
Christopher, who was sitting across from her, coincidentally caught a glimpse of her beautiful smile.
The man’s eyes were instantly flooded with tenderness at the sight of that smile.
Before X realized it, Christopher had quickly averted his gaze to the stage, trying to focus on the
antique pieces.
The second item was the royal porcin tableware.
Jeremy did not bid for it.
Neither did X.
On the contrary, Christopher bought the set of tableware for seven million dors.
Jeremy and X did not have much interest in the following antique pieces, so both of them did not
participate in the bidding.
However, Christopher’s enthusiasm about the auction grew stronger and stronger as time went by.
In a short time, he had sessfully pocketed another ten antique pieces.
The total price of the items he bid for tonight had definitely exceeded one hundred fifty million.
Apart from that, his generous and straightforward behavior had also won a lot of attention from the
crowd. All the women, who were interested in his arrival just now, were getting extraordinarily
excited right now.
After the auction had officially ended, X helped Jeremy up from the couch. The two then headed
to the staircase, intending to find the counter to pay for the ceramic vase.
When they walked past Christopher, Christopher immediately straightened his suit and caught up
with them.
He walked up to X and looked at both of them sincerely. “Shall we go together? I need to settle
my bill too.”
Before they could respond, a waitress wearing a red bodycon dress approached the three of them
with a courteous smile. “Sir, Miss, pleasee with me… I’ll take you to pay the bill.”
“Great. Let’s go,” Christopher said.
X flung her bag over her shoulder and followed him.
Suddenly, the red-bodycon-ddy’s face went cold. She walked up to X and asked, “Should I
take the bag for you?”
X shook her head. “No, thank you…”
Thedy smiled. In the very next second, she forced X against the railing and pushed her over
fiercely. “X Quest! Go to hell!!!”
It all just happened within a second…!
