Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 480
Chapter 480: 171: I’ve never lost in my entire life, but I lost to a kid! _4
The secretary, under immense pressure, said, “It has already been purchased at a high price.”
Three days ago.
An international auction house auctioned off a milk tea recipe that was claimed to be exclusively for ancient European royalty.
The starting bid was 100,000 USD.
No one thought that someone would purchase a recipe at such a high price. But unexpectedly, within less than three hours, it was bought for 300,000 USD.
By the time they went to bid, the recipe was already purchased.
Hearing this, the man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“Who was the buyer?”
The secretary continued, “They paid online. According to their personal information, it appears to be a man. But detailed information is not available.”
“Find a way to contact him. No matter how much money it takes, we must buy that recipe back.”
“Understood.” The assistant inwardly broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, fortunately, the boss did not hold him responsible.
“Sir, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first,” the secretary said next.
The man waved his hand.
The secretary exited the office, gently closing the door behind him, and let out a long sigh.
That was truly horrifying.
It was equivalent to getting through a very close shave.
In the office.
The man maneuvered his wheelchair towards the private elevator.
The elevator quickly descended to the basement.
Adam Swantz was waiting at the elevator. Seeing Terrence Lentz come down, he hurried over, “Third Brother.”
“Mm.”
Adam Swantz moved behind Terrence Lentz, pushing the wheelchair, he said: “Third Brother, I heard this entire commercial building belongs to you, Mr. Lentz. I wonder if that’s true!”
“It is true.” Terrence Lentz’s tone was low.
“How do you know it’s true?” Adam Swantz was particularly curious. “Third Brother, do you know something I don’t? You must know something, right?”
Terrence Lentz slightly opened his thin lips, “I am.”
“You are what?” Adam Swantz was completely confused.
“Terrence.”
Two casual words.
Hearing this, Adam Swantz burst out laughing.
“Ha ha ha..”
“Third Brother, stop kidding! If you’re Mr. Lentz, then I’m Mr. Lentz’s only son, the future heir!”
Hearing this, Terrence Lentz turned his gaze to him, “You want to be my son?”
Adam Swantz didn’t take Terrence Lentz’s words seriously and continued to push him forward, “No more jokes, Third Brother. How’s your leg? Didn’t Miss Thompson treat it last time? Why did it flare up again?”
“It’s a chronic ailment, no big deal.”
Terrence Lentz’s tone was indifferent.
His leg had an old injury, not something to be cured overnight.
Viola Thompson’s medicine and acupuncture could only provide temporary relief.
Just around the corner.
They suddenly encountered an unexpected person.
“Elizabeth Thompson?”
Adam Swantz slightly frowned.
He was most disgusted by this woman.
Always trying to climb high and step on others.
She was ranked last in the College Entrance Examination, her family fell into decline. Served her right!
Elizabeth Thompson also saw Terrence Lentz on his wheelchair.
Her heart immediately filled with disgust.
What was Terrence Lentz up to?
Stalking her?!
Did he think that now that the Thompson Clan had fallen, she would have her eye on him?
In her dreams!
She was a phoenix flying high. Even if she fell into the mire, she would never stoop so low as to be with a good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz!
Elizabeth Thompson walked straight up to Terrence Lentz, her eyes full of mockery.
“Mr. Lentz, what a coincidence.”
Adam Swantz looked down at her and said with a smile, “Miss Thompson, you jest. There are not so many coincidences in this world. Perhaps someone is deliberately trying to stage a chance meeting?”
Now that the Thompson Clan has declared bankruptcy and Elizabeth Thompson is desperate, it’s normal for her to turn to Terrence Lentz.
Adam Swantz had long wanted to pay her back on behalf of Terrence Lentz.
Now he finally had the opportunity.
Hearing his words, Elizabeth Thompson was infuriated.
The one who was stalking was Terrence Lentz, right?
“Such a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black,” Elizabeth Thompson said, “Adam Swantz, let me tell you. Even if I have to jump into the sea and drown, I would never set my sights on a good-for-nothing in a wheelchair!”
With that, Elizabeth Thompson had a slight smirk. “As for some people, they should take a good look at themselves before they start dreaming about making it big. The idea of a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh is simply disgusting!”
Having said that, Elizabeth Thompson turned around and left.
“This crazy woman!” As Adam Swantz was about to say something, he saw Terrence Lentz gently raise his hand, “There’s no need to stoop to their level.”
Adam Swantz nodded, “Third Brother, you’re right. It would be beneath us to stoop to her level.”
As he finished speaking, Adam Swantz stopped the wheelchair in front of a business car.
The car was a custom model that could allow a wheelchair to be directly pushed inside.
