My Aloof Husband, Mr. Drexler, Dotes Me Excessively-Chapter 128: No One Dares to Take Such a Risk
Summer Shawcross’s gaze was irresistibly drawn to that bracelet. What she didn’t notice was that, when the bracelet appeared, Noah Drexler’s eyes also flashed.
At this moment, the host’s voice sounded again.
"This bracelet is called ’Moonseeker,’ and it is the only one in the world. Its starting price is five million. Now, dear guests, you may begin bidding."
"I bid six million!" As soon as the host’s voice fell, a middle-aged wealthy businessman raised his paddle.
"I bid eight million!" Someone quickly followed, a somewhat plump man.
Summer was a bit surprised, not expecting the bracelet to be so popular.
"I bid ten million. Mr. Chen, please don’t compete with me. My wife likes this bracelet and has given me strict orders to bring it home today, or I shouldn’t return at all!" The middle-aged businessman raised his paddle again, looking somewhat helplessly at the plump man competing with him.
Hearing this, the plump man chuckled, "That’s not going to work. I’ve taken a liking to this item, and I’m determined to win it today!" With that, he raised his paddle again, "Twelve million!"
However, just as the two were fiercely bidding, Linnea Shaw, who had been quietly observing, suddenly raised her paddle.
"I bid twenty million!"
Upon hearing Yancy Shaw’s voice, everyone turned to look. The middle-aged businessman’s face showed hesitation, but after a moment, he still raised his paddle.
"Twenty-two million! Sorry for the offense, Mr. Shaw..." The middle-aged businessman apologized as he looked towards Yancy Shaw.
Yancy Shaw didn’t say much in response, only turning to look at the silent Noah Drexler.
Just when everyone thought the bracelet would go to the middle-aged businessman, a cold voice rang out at the scene.
"Thirty million." Noah Drexler sat in his chair, his handsome face showing little emotion, his gaze quietly fixed on the bracelet on the auction stage.
Everyone was astonished and turned to look at Noah Drexler, and the once fiercely competing middle-aged businessman and plump man now wore looks of embarrassment.
Hearing Noah Drexler’s bid, Summer Shawcross was also a bit taken aback, finally realizing in surprise that he had come tonight with the goal of that bracelet?
Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but glance at Yancy Shaw, who had bid earlier, and asked in a puzzled whisper.
"Didn’t he say he would help Noah Drexler..."
When Mr. Shaw had approached Noah Drexler earlier, he had seemed to say he would help him get what he wanted, but that maneuver had instead raised the price.
Seeing Summer’s confusion, Sean Morgan, beside her, lowered his head and quietly explained.
"Miss... Secretary Shaw, you don’t understand. By competing like that, Mr. Shaw made sure no one else would dare compete with the boss for this bracelet."
If offending one person once might tempt someone fearless to try, after all, there were many big shots tonight, and most were not short on money. Spending tens of millions at such an auction wasn’t considered a big deal.
However, if someone were to offend two big shots at once tonight, their future might not be so pleasant, and it’s believed no one at the scene would dare take such a risk!
"I see..." Hearing Sean Morgan’s explanation, Summer nodded in understanding.
As it turned out, Sean Morgan was right. After Noah Drexler spoke, no one at the scene dared to raise their paddle again.
