Chapter 461 Lady Linda Will Get Angry
Chapter 461 Lady Linda Will Get Angry
"I don't know. I suppose it must be some local wealthy businessman. I wonder why he is willing to bid
120 million for a necklace."
Hanson didn't have the same reason as Charles's.
Charles wanted the necklace because it was called Lin-Cha, and that was a meaningful coincidence.
He was going to give it to Linda to make her happy. So he wondered why another man was so eager to
get it.
"Don't think too much. You can compete with him. After all, I don't want that necklace. After you raise
the price one last time, you can give up on it. In this way, that man would have to pay a lot of money for NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
it. And it will be a great loss for him, "
Said Linda mischievously.
"Honey, you are so wicked." Charles smiled, raising a corner of his lips. He really loved how smart
Linda was. He found it very interesting when she came up with bright ideas to play tricks on others.
"Of course. I've stayed with you all this time, so I have already been influenced by you."
She also took the chance to blame Charles when she spoke to him.
The man sent by Hanson still stood at the door. He saw that Charles was still talking on the phone, but
the emcee on the stage was about to set the hammer price. He was getting even more anxious, trying
to enter the room to look for Charles. However, he was stopped by the bodyguards at the door. Charles
had noticed that something was happening outside the room. He then said, "Honey, someone is at the
door, and I don't know what he wants. I have to go and check it out. I will call you after the auction."
"Okay. Come back early tomorrow... I miss you so much..."
After he had hung up the phone, Charles waved towards his bodyguards at the door and asked them to
let the man inside.
The man sent by Hanson finally entered the room. He glanced at Charles for a little while, but he didn't
recognize him. He spoke, "Sir, my boss asked me to come here to tell you that he really wants the
diamond necklace. He is going to give it to a woman whom he wants to chase. Could you please give
him this chance to buy the necklace? If you continue raising the price, the organisers of the auction will
gain extra profits. Neither of us can benefit from that."
"Oh, really? But I also want to get this necklace and give it as a present for a beautiful woman."
"So what do you mean by that? Do you still want to compete with my boss?"
Hanson was a very famous and wealthy man in this city. He was well-connected, having some friends
who worked for the government and knowing people from criminal gangs. He had never met anyone
who dared compete against him. At the beginning, his man talked to Charles in a polite way, but his
arrogance showed after. Upon hearing Charles, he thought that Charles was a cocky bastard.
Since he would surely show no consideration for these kinds of people, Charles wanted to increase the
price.
Without saying anything else, he closed his eyes to relax.
He waved his hand gently, and Paul immediately understood what he had meant. Then, he sent people
to throw Hanson's man out of the room.
That man couldn't tolerate such humiliation. Since he worked for Hanson, he was respected by others
all the time. People always regarded him in a respectful way because of the person he was working for.
That man realized that there were only thirty seconds left before the price was set, so he angrily ran
back to Hanson's VIP room and said, "Mr. Zhuang, the man in the adjoining room is very haughty. I
asked him politely, but he beckoned his men to shove me out."
Upon hearing him, Hanson got so furious that he banged on the table and shouted, "What? Who could
be so daring to drive you out? Doesn't he know that he is in my territory? In a place under my control?"
"Indeed, he is very arrogant. So will you still raise the price? The necklace would be sold to him after
thirty seconds. We can't let him get that chance."
After he heard these words, Hanson immediately asked his man to utter, "140 million."
The emcee of the auction was very happy with the price. Now that it had reached this high, he could
get a huge profit from it. With that much money, he would be able to enjoy his life for a few years
without having to go to work.
Of course, the necklace's owner was even more pleased at the sight of this bidding war. When he saw
that the price was still going up and that Charles was still competing with another man, he smiled and
said, "You must really love that woman, Charles. I really want to know what kind of woman she is. Why
are you willing to spend so much just to buy a necklace for her?"
"150 million, " Charles uttered calmly. He had already asked Paul to investigate the man in the
adjoining room and figure out his identity, just in case.
Although the personal information of people who attended the auction was confidential, Paul could
easily get it since WSS was good at successfully doing any kind of task.
According to their investigation, the man in the adjoining room was called Hanson. He was the CEO of
the Zhuang's Group, which was one of the leading enterprises in SZ City. Some of his friends worked
for the government; some were the members of criminal gangs. He had made big money from illegal
business before, but he had now gotten rid of the accusations that he earned money illegally.
His company's market value was about 10 billion at present.
'The boss of such a company is willing to spend 150 million for a necklace just to please his woman?'
Charles thought, confused.
He shook his head and believed that the woman whom Hanson wanted to please might be one of his
mistresses, not his wife.
Whoever Hanson tried to please with the diamond necklace, it was none of Charles's business and he
couldn't care less about it.
Since Hanson wanted it, Charles would give him the chance to have it. After all, Linda didn't want it and
there was no need for him to hold onto the necklace. He was going to let Hanson buy it but at a great
expense.
"Paul, send someone to tell Hanson that we want the necklace no matter how much he is willing to
offer and that it is useless for him to bid us up."
Paul frowned after hearing him. "Young Master, the price we're offering is much higher than the
necklace's value. We should stop competing with Hanson. It doesn't seem to be worth it. Besides, Lady
Linda will get angry if she finds out."
When Charles was talking with Linda on the phone just now, Paul could only hear what Charles was
saying, without knowing what Linda had said. He had heard Charles saying that he will not buy the
necklace anymore, so he was confused as to why Charles was asking him to tell Hanson that he would
continue fighting for it. He wondered if Charles still wanted to get the necklace and give it to Linda.
Charles just slightly smiled and said, "I thought you were loyal to me, Paul. Apparently, your loyalty is
with Linda now."
Paul saw that Charles didn't look angry, so he knew that he was just joking. Since Charles loved Linda
so much, he would not get annoyed because Paul now showed some loyalty to Linda. Paul then said,
"I said those words just because I know that Lady Linda doesn't like expensive jewelry such as this
diamond necklace. After all, the current price is already 150 million which is far beyond it's actual
value."
"I don't intend to buy the necklace anymore, but that doesn't mean I will make it easy for that Hanson
guy. That's why I'm asking you to send people to tell him what I had asked you to. Tell our men that
they don't have to be nice to him; instead, they should infuriate him..."
