Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A-A? He’s seated in Zone A?” Michael Young let out a blood-curdling scream.
If he had been so disrespectful at any other time, he definitely would’ve been reproached. However, nobody did so this time because Michael Young wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Everyone else present was as well!
Zone A was reserved for the most important guests and was the most prestigious area in the entire auction house. It was rare for the seats there to even be occupied, yet Finn Taylor had changed that.
“Who’s that?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen them. They’re not from around here.”
“They’re probably here to take wedding photos or for a honeymoon.”
“How interesting. It seems like there’s a wealthy man here at this auction.”
“No matter how rich he is, will he be as rich as Terry Money? He owns an entire mine and is the richest man on Cupid Island!”
“That’s right. Didn’t they say that Terry Money is coming for this auction to purchase ‘Eternal Love?'”
Eternal Love—this was the most prized possession in this entire auction. Many interested parties had come forward, looking to purchase it, but it was to no avail.
But for some reason, word had gotten out almost a month before the auction that ‘Eternal Love’ would be put up for auction.
This had caused quite a stir on Cupid Island at that time. Many buyers had expressed their interest, and even Terry Money had come forward.
This had led to many giving up. After all, it wasn’t worth offending Terry Money just for the sake of a necklace.
That only went to show just how powerful the Money family was on Cupid Island.
Just then, a couple walked into the auction house.
The man was dressed in branded goods from head to toe, and it was obvious from first sight that he was a wealthy man.
As for that woman, the aura she exuded made it obvious that she came from that kind of place—she was a hostess.
The moment the couple walked in, many of the audience present rose up to their feet out of respect and fear but also because they wanted to get on his good side.
That man was none other than Terry Money.
Terry Money loved the presence he commanded. Although he had already gotten used to such scenarios because of his family background, he still enjoyed every moment.
Terry Money walked right to Zone A—there was no question that he belonged there. Yet, he was stunned to find that there was already someone there!
“Hey, there’s someone here.” Terry Money’s gaze shifted to Yvette Larson.
The latter was truly stunning—she was much more beautiful than the lady standing next to him.
He let go of that lady and walked toward Yvette Larson. Taking a seat next to her, he asked boldly, “How much for a night?”
To Terry Money, there was nothing that money couldn’t solve in this world. That was why he thought that money would definitely buy him a night with Yvette Larson.
However, that disgusted the other and upset Finn Taylor.
“You’d better shut your foul mouth if you want to live.” Finn Taylor shielded his wife behind him.
Terry Money was stupefied. ‘This is the first time anyone has ever threatened me on Cupid Island! Given my personality, it doesn’t matter whether women are virgins or married. As long as they catch my eye, I’d buy them with my money. Yet, someone has tried to go against me today!’
“How dare you threaten me?” Terry Money raised his fist, ready to slap Finn Taylor.
The latter reached out, grabbed his arm, and exerted some force. All that could be heard was a crunch as the latter pressed down even harder on Terry Money’s bones.
“I… Let go of me.” Terry Money was just a rich second-generation heir and was obviously no match for Finn Taylor.
“Sir, please let him go this time. Please don’t stir up trouble at our auction house.”
Finn Taylor was just about to teach the other a lesson when the staff stepped in. Because he wanted to purchase ‘Eternal Love’ for his wife today, he decided not to kick up a fuss.
He shoved Terry Money back several meters.
By now, Terry Money already held a deep grudge against the other. He swore to himself to kill that man and to have that woman for himself.
With that, the auction proceeded as planned.
The first item up for bidding was a pair of rings. The name for them was ‘A Gentle Smile.’
Feeling that the name was interesting, Finn Taylor put up a bid for them at 150,000 dollars.
The starting bid was a mere 70,000 dollars, yet he had offered 150,000 right off the bat.
His openhandedness stumped everyone present. They couldn’t help but wonder if that man was here to buy ‘Eternal Love’ too.
If that was the case, there would be a good show to watch at this auction.
The auction proceeded, but nothing caught Finn Taylor’s eyes. That was why he never offered a second bid.
Very soon, the auction drew to a close.
This time, the manager walked up on stage with a box in hand. He opened the box and presented the necklace to the audience.
Everyone was stupefied by the sheer beauty of the necklace.
All the attendees of the auction knew just how precious ‘Eternal Love’ was, but nobody had been prepared for how stunning it would be in real life.
“This is the finale of this auction—Eternal Love. The starting bid will be a billion, and we’ll be accepting bids in increments of ten million.”
As soon as he finished his words, Terry Money raised his paddle. “1.01 billion.”
He merely made the minimum bid. It was obvious that he was trying to purchase ‘Eternal Love’ at the lowest price possible given his status.
The staff of the auction didn’t know what to do. After all, they had no other choice unless they found another buyer.
Yet, they wouldn’t work to their advantage either.
Once it was bought, they wouldn’t be able to auction it off again. Then, they would definitely be criticized.
Just as they were in despair, Finn Taylor made a bid. “Two billion.”
The extraordinary price shocked everyone present. ‘He made a bid of two billion! He’s going to snatch that baby away from Terry Money! Will Terry Money allow him to do that?’
Then, they saw Terry Money stand up.
“I want it. I’m the young master of Cupid Island’s Money family—Terry Money.” With that, he raised his hand. “2..01 billion.”
