Chapter 421


    Chapter 421 Competing Bid


    The secretary shouted on Dexter’s behalf, “1.5 million.”


    Whenever Josie increased the bid by one hundred thousand, Dexter would counter with another two


    hundred thousand.


    Mrs. Langman did not seem displeased. Instead, she watched the scene with interest.


    Josie was not sure what she should do. It was only a woman’s bracelet, yet Dexter persistently bid for


    it. She wondered which woman he nned to give it to and felt annoyed.


    Still, she was determined not to let him humiliate her.


    Josie announced daringly, “1.8 million.”


    The bid attracted even more attention to her. Everyone looked at the bracelet and wondered what was


    so unique that she would bid such an incredible sum.


    Dexter countered calmly, “Two million.”


    Josie was bursting with fury.


    Dexter was always like this. He would always do something just enough to grate on her


    nerves.


    Two million was a tremendous sum, but it meant nothing to Dexter. However, it was not a sum Josie


    could afford to y with.


    Josie red at Dexter furiously, but he did not look at her. It angered her, prompting her to grab her


    phone and message him.


    Dexter received the message. ‘Why do you bid like that? Aren’t you worried about what people would


    say?’


    Josie thought she had caught his weakness and announced her bid, “2.5 million.”


    She was fuming and was determined not to let Dexter give the bracelet she liked to someone else.


    Dexter read the message and chuckled. Then, he raised his hand and said, “Three million.”


    Mrs. Langman gasped slightly, alerting Josie of her recklessness. Josie realized it was pointless to


    compete with Dexter. He could spend any amount of money to bid for the bracelet regardless of what


    others thought. On the other hand, Josie could not afford to behave that way.


    It’s only a bracelet.


    Josie calmed down and stopped bidding.


    Thus, Dexter won the bid with three million.


    After the dust had settled, Josie covered her face sadly, hiding from the crowd’s curious


    gazes.


    She did not notice Dexter looking at her.

    After that, no other items at the auction caught Josie’s interest. Instead, she found it fascinating


    watching people bidding for them. Later, she was tired and said goodbye to Mrs. Langman before


    leaving the auction venue.


    She nced at Dexter’s seat before leaving and noticed he had left.


    The auction was held in a hotel owned by the Olsen family. Many of the guests chose to stay the night


    there, including Josie.


    Later, Josie would find herself stopped at the door the second time.


    It was ate night. The surveince recording showed that the hotel corridors were empty. The wall


    lamps cast small shadows on the wall. There was no movement and not a person in sight.


    About two minutester, the elevator door gradually opened, revealing a woman. She went to her room


    and suddenly stopped before the door. It seemed she had seen something and retreated from it.


    Suddenly, an elegant man stepped out from a corner and said something to her. He pulled her into his


    embrace in the next second and leaned down to kiss her. She struggled wildly in his hold but could not


    break free from him.


    Thus, the two rolled and bumped against the wall as Josie fought intensely against him.


    Her feminine scent filled his nostrils and stirred something within him, prompting him to sp her back


    tightly. He let his hand travel down her back and caressed her skin. Their lips kiss intensely.


    Josie smelled the tobo smell on his body and knew who he was.


    She could not figure out how Dexter could be so shameless. Hepeted for the bracelet against her


    a moment ago and had no qualms about making out with her afterward.
