Chapter 215
Before Elsie could even finish her sentence, someone spoke from The Vault. “3.75 million and one dollar. My apologies–I was dozing off and forgot to bid. Thank you for your patience!”
The statement left all guests momentarily stunnert before the room erupted in unprecedented laughter and chaos.
‘Adding just one dollar? This gentleman is definitely settling an old score!” someone shouted through their laughter.
“And who said he wouldn’t dare challenge the Weller family? Karma might be late, but it never fails to show up. Harvey’s really getting a taste of his own medicine now!” another guest called out.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! The Weller family throws their weight around, Kane comes to show off, and Harvey deliberately drove up prices before–now they’re getting exactly what they deserve,” someone else chimed in.
Andrew’s unexpected bid shocked not only the spectators but also Michael, Bane, and Finley.
“This guy really isn’t afraid of death, is he? Even with Kane making an appearance, he’s still stirring up trouble,” Finley muttered, his lips twitching as he wondered how Andrew had the courage to challenge the Weller family.
“Andrew, know your damn place!” Harvey shouted, watching his sure victory slip through his fingers. His anger rose rapidly as he directed his fury toward The Vault.
“What’s wrong, Harvey? Can’t handle it?” Andrew responded coldly. “Remember how you kept interfering when I was bidding on the Celestial Nymphaea? If you can dish it out, you should be able to take it too.”
This logical retort made Harvey’s face turn bright red. Through gritted teeth, he spat, “Fine, since you’re asking for it, I won’t go easy on you. 4.5 million! Come on, keep bidding if your dare!”
The 750 thousand increase was indeed a bold move, but Andrew calmly responded, “4.5 million and one dollar!”
Many guests nearly lost it, doubling over with laughter. Even an idiot could tell that Andrew was determined to take this annoying strategy all the way, but no one could criticize him, given Harvey’s past behavior.
“7.5 million–keep following if you’ve got the guts!” Harvey snarled.
L
He was convinced that Andrew would not have the resources to compete after spending 30 million on the Celestial Nymphaea.
7.5 million and one dollar!” The pattern continued. Whatever amount Harvey bid, Andrew simply added a dollar, sending the room’s atmosphere to new heights.
Chapter 215
Harvey was practically jumping with rage. “10.5 million! I haven’t even started spending tonight, you punk! I can keep this game going all night!”
“Well, well… Someone seems to be getting a bit worked up,” Andrew casually remarked to Elsie with a smile. “Ms. Santana, I won’t be making any more specific bids. Just remember- whatever he bids, add one dollar for me.”
Elsie’s beautiful face showed a hint of awkwardness, but inside, she was delighted. The master of The Vault was truly a blessing for the auction house. With Harvey cornered like this, the bidding would keep climbing, and their commission would soar.
The other spectators had stopped their teasing by now. Everyone could see that Andrew was determined, to push Harvey to his limits, and when titans clashed, it was best for ordinary folk to stay out of the way..
