“7.6 million!”
Lionel Yeager raised his sign again.
“Eight million!”
Malcom Jordan also raised his sign.
At this point, the people in the audience had come to their senses.
It seemed that the young Jordan was determined to compete with this kid!”
So, the crowd decided not to join in and wanted to see how things would unfold.
Lionel Yeager frowned and raised the sign again: “Nine million!”
“Ten million!”
Malcom Jordan also raised his sign.
“15 million!”
Just as Lionel Yeager was about to raise his sign, Julie Stewart raised her sign first.
Lionel Yeager had cured her myocarditis, so she was very grateful.
Now that Lionel Yeager finally found something he liked, Malcom Jordan jumped out to stir up trouble, which irritated her.
Seeing Julie Stewart helping Lionel Yeager bid, Malcom Jordan was furious, his chest heaving.
He gritted his teeth, held up the sign, and shouted angrily, “Twenty million!”
There was an uproar on the scene!
Although the Dragon Pattern Jade was good, twenty million had already exceeded the jade’s original value!
Just as Julie Stewart was about to keep bidding, Lionel Yeager held down her sign and said, “Forget it, this jade is not worth that much money.”
Julie Stewart said, “But don’t you like it?”
Lionel Yeager shrugged and said, “I like it, but it’s not a necessity.
We’ll look for something else later; there should be other things I like.”
“All right then.”
Julie Stewart nodded and did not continue to bid.
The female auctioneer glanced at the crowd, and since no one else raised the price, she announced loudly, “Twenty million for the first time!
Twenty million for the second time!
Twenty million for the third time!”
Thunk!
Hammered down!
“Congratulations to Mr.
Jordan for getting the Western Han Dragon Pattern Jade for twenty million!”
A waitress walked to Malcom Jordan with a card swiper.
Malcom Jordan took out a bank card and swiped it in a very chic manner.
Afterward, the second auction item was brought up.
The female auctioneer lifted the red cloth, and on the tray, there was a painting scroll.
Two auctioneers opened the scroll and presented the painting to the audience.
It was an ink painting, in which light rain, bamboo, birds, and rocks were perfectly portrayed with just a few strokes.
Through the painting, the audience could sense the tranquil and elegant artistic conception.
The female auctioneer introduced, “This is ‘Rain Bamboo’, a painting by the famous Ming Dynasty painter Tang Bohu.
It is his authentic work.
On the scroll, there is also a poem by Tang Bohu, which complements the painting, making it a treasure among ancient paintings…”
Upon hearing the female auctioneer’s introduction, the scene stirred up.
After all, many people liked Tang Bohu’s paintings and wanted to win it at the auction.
The female auctioneer smiled slightly and said, “All right, let’s not waste time, let’s start the auction!
Starting price is eight million, with each increase not less than five hundred thousand!”
As soon as her voice hadn’t fallen!
Everyone began to bid one after another!
“Eight million five hundred thousand!”
“Nine million fifty thousand!”
“Ten million!”
…
After many people bid, Lionel Yeager raised the sign and shouted loudly: “Fifteen million!”
“Mullen, do you like this painting?”
Julie Stewart asked.
“It’s okay.”
Lionel Yeager nodded and said, “This is indeed Tang Bohu’s authentic work; if it could be won for collection, it would be nice.”
Julie Stewart said, “Great, if you like it, let’s bid for it!”
“Twenty million!”
Just as Lionel’s words fell, Malcom Jordan raised his sign.
“Twenty-five million!”
Lionel frowned and raised his sign as well.
“Thirty million!”
Malcom Jordan also arrogantly raised his sign.
“Bastard!”
Julie was instantly infuriated.
She directly raised her sign and shouted, “Forty million!”
“Fifty million!”
Malcom Jordan stood up straight away and stared at Julie.
Just as Julie was about to continue bidding, Lionel shook his head and said, “Sister Betty, there’s no need to bid anymore.
This painting at most is worth thirty million.
It’s not worth it if we keep going.”
“But don’t you like this painting?”
Julie frowned and continued, “Moreover, this guy, Malcom, is obviously here for you.
We can’t show weakness!
Don’t worry, your sister has money!”
Lionel couldn’t help but smile, “Sister Betty, I know you have money, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend it like this.
If this guy wants to be the sucker, then let him.”
Julie narrowed her eyes and said, “Mullen, this isn’t like you.
As far as I know, you’re not the kind to swallow your pride.
You beat up Megan Jordan at the engagement party even though you knew who she was.”
Lionel grinned wickedly, “Who said I’m swallowing my pride?
Since Mr.
Jordan wants to play, then let’s accompany him slowly.”
“What do you mean?”
Julie looked puzzled, not knowing what Lionel was up to.
Lionel grinned, “Just wait and see.”
“Is there any more bidding?”
At this moment, the female auctioneer asked out loud.
No one else in the audience bid.
After all, many people at the scene understood antiques and calligraphy and knew that the painting was not worth fifty million.
Seeing that no one else was bidding, the auctioneer began to hammer down, “Fifty million for the first time!
Fifty million for the second time!
Fifty million for the third time!”
Bang!
Hammered down!
“Congratulations to Mr.
Jordan for winning another treasure – ‘Rain Bamboo’.”
The waitress with the POS machine walked over to Malcom Jordan again.
After Malcom swiped his card, he glanced at Lionel and said loudly, “I advise some people to just get lost!
If you don’t have money, don’t come to the auction!
This high-end venue is not for any random cat or dog to join!”
Everyone present naturally knew who Malcom Jordan was referring to.
However, they didn’t say anything and just watched the show.
Lionel did not react, not wanting to bother with such a brainless young master.
Soon, the auction continued.
In the following time,
Lionel occasionally bid.
And every time Lionel bid, Malcom Jordan would jump out and bid a higher price to win the auction.
Gradually, Julie also realized that Lionel was doing this on purpose.
His goal was to make Malcom Jordan act like a big spender, paying several times the actual value of the auction items.
Wasn’t this just playing with a fool?
After an unknown amount of time,
The waitress brought another auction item.
When the female auctioneer lifted the red cloth, a red wooden box was placed on the tray.
The moment the red wooden box opened, the audience gasped.
They saw a half-arm length, twisted, and withered purple tree branch inside the box.
From the audience’s point of view, it was just a broken tree branch.
Other than its purple color, there was nothing special about it.
“What the hell is this?
Can you really auction this kind of thing?”
“I say, is the Cloud Above Club crazy for money?
Picking up a broken tree branch and trying to sell it for money?”
“You better change the item quickly; don’t let this broken thing ruin the Cloud Above Club’s reputation!”
The crowd voiced their dissatisfaction.
However, when Lionel saw the “broken tree branch,” his eyes slightly shrank, and he became excited!
