Chapter 1897


    As soon as Keith spoke, a middle-aged businessman immediately raised his auction paddle and


    shouted excitedly, “I bid 5.2 million dors for the Two Butterflies painting!”


    “I bid 5.3 million!”


    “I bid 5.35 million!”


    Soon the price had risen to 6.2 million. Besides that, it had not reached the Two Butterflies painting’s


    real worth, and the price was still increasing.


    Gabe suddenly raised his auction paddle and said with augh, “I bid 6.3 million!”


    Jasmine and Geena both turned to look at Gabe.


    Gabe’s ie should not be able to afford such an expensive item, but Gabe had just offered his bid,


    which surprised the two.


    “I‘m just joining in the fun. Since I’m here, shouldn’t I show a sense of participation even if I’m only


    putting on a show?” Gabe said awkwardly to Jasmine, rubbing his hands.


    Gabe kept his voice low for fear that others would hear him.


    Geena could not helpughing.


    Seeing Gabe’s embarrassment, Jasmine said, “You’re doing a great job. You and Derrick are in the


    government, but you don’t use your power for personal gain. That’s very good. I came to Midwich to


    start a business. The two of you can help me manage it. I’ll pay you dividends that can more or less


    subsidize your living expenses.”


    Gabe was pleasantly surprised to hear Jasmine’s statement.


    As chief of police, Gabe never dared to line his pocket, fearing he would be embarrassed to meet


    Jasmine one day. However, Jasmine offered him an opportunity to increase his ie. It was


    impossible for him not to be pleasantly surprised!

    “Commander, thank you!” Gabe said excitedly.


    “It’s no big deal,” Jasmine replied tly.


    Geena took the opportunity to tell Gabe, “Gabe, you’ve underestimated Commander. Commander has


    businesses in two cities with over 100 billion in assets. Any small amount slipping through his fingers is


    enough to feed you and Derrick.”


    “How amazing… ” Gabe looked shocked.


    Gabe had offered 6.3 million dors, but someone else soon outbid him, so Gabe did not have to worry


    about winning the Two Butterflies painting.


    A few minutester, the Two Butterflies painting by Vincent van Gogh was sold for 7.3 million dors.


    The second auction item was a ne. As soon as this ne appeared on stage, the eyes of


    many women present lit up.


    The real value of this ne should be simr to the Two Butterflies painting but ended up reaching


    eight million dors because it was more popr and had fiercerpetition. It was hundreds of


    thousands of dors more than the Two Butterflies painting.


    “You haven’t married yet, have you? Gabe, it’s not just you. Derrick and Benji aren’t married either.”


    Jasmine asked, looking at Gabe.


    “Yeah, we haven’t gotten married.”


    Gabe said, rubbing his hands awkwardly.


    Gabe, Derrick, and Benji were about the same age, about 25 and 26 years old. They were also old


    enough to get married.


    “Hurry up, Gabe,” Jasmine joked.


    “Mr. Moses, aren’t you not married too?” Gabe asked with a smile.


    Jasmine looked away and said nothing. Gabe shut up and stopped talking nonsense too. It would be


    troublesome if he pissed Jasmine off.
