Chapter 35 The Winning Game

Benjamin was furious that someone thought he had run out of money.

Regardless of how poor he would be, he was still the eldest son of the Quigley family.

Although his father was still in charge of the main business of Quigley Group, he would take over the company sooner or later.

He would do anything at any cost to reclaim his dignity. It didn’t matter that 75 million dollars was the profit of his branch company for a year. Money could be earned when it was gone. Moreover, though those collections were a little expensive, they still had collection values.

On top of that, he still had 120 million dollars left on his card.

This time, he had fallen into Julian’s trick unexpectedly.

The auction would still take a long time before it ended. Benjamin thought that he would raise the bid a few more times later to trick Julian the same way.

As he thought about it, he felt a little balanced in his heart.

Madeline told Annalise that she had to go to the restroom.

Then, Madeline went out to make a phone call, and soon a staff member came looking for her.

Respectfully and politely, the staff said, “Ezra, I didn’t expect to see you in person today. It’s a great privilege.”

They couldn’t believe that Ezra was so young.

That was because rumor had it that Ezra was an eighty-year-old man who had two to three wives.

“Shh! Keep it a secret!” Madeline said.

“Okay, okay. Don’t worry,” the staff said respectfully.

Madeline took a painting from the trunk of her car and handed it to the staff.

There were still a lot of paintings in her trunk. Some of them were painted casually, and some were carefully

crafted.

It all depended on her mood when she was painting.

If she was bored, she would carefully craft it. If there was a card game, she would just paint it casually.

She had only planned to donate one painting at the charity gala that day.

After all, her works were all worth at least a few million dollars, and it was already a great deed to donate

one.

Nonetheless, thinking that Benjamin seemed to be very interested in her painting, she decided to donate. another one to crush him.

Back to the auction, she felt energized.

The item that was being auctioned at the moment was a piece of porcelain.

The most popular auction items nowadays were porcelain and paintings.

There were many bidders on the scene, but neither Julian nor Benjamin took any action.

After a few more auctioned items passed, Benjamin and Julian were still unusually quiet.

Then, it was Ezra’s painting again.

There was another uproar at the scene.

“What’s going on? How can there be another of Ezra’s paintings?”

“Yeah, it’s so strange. It’s hard to find Ezra’s painting. Only a charity gala of high standard can have Ezra’s painting, but there are actually two today. What an eye-opener!”

“Yeah. Even if we can’t afford it, it’s good to see it at least.”

“Yeah!”

Seeing Ezra’s work again, Benjamin’s eyes flashed with a fiery light. “Isn’t this God’s will to fulfill my filial piety. to Grandpa?’ he wondered.

He completely forgot that he was going to compete on the price with Julian and decisively participated in the bidding

Julian was indeed determined to go against Benjamin that night

If Benjamin didn’t take a bid, he wouldn’t take it. As soon as Benjamin made an offer, he would rai price than the former’s

Many people, who were watching the scene, became excited

A painting with a starting price of 1.5 million dollars was raised to 30 million dollars in no time.

As Benjamin was suppressed by Julian, he huffed with anger.

He decided to raise his bidding to 75 million dollars

higher

If Julian gave up, he could buy it and gift it to his grandfather. If the former didn’t give up, he would have achieved the goal of bringing up the price. Anyway, he didn’t lose

Thinking about that, he felt much better.

They raised the price by 7.5 million dollars at a time. In the blink of an eye, the price had soared to 67.5 million dollars

Benjamin bid 75 million dollars decisively

Julian thought for a moment and only raised 3 million dollars, which made it 78 million dollars.

The women at the scene began to show their admiration for Julian again.

“Ahh! That’s so generous and sweet of him! Annalise must be so happy.”

“So romantic!”

“What kind of luck did Annalise have to find such a handsome, rich, and romantic boyfriend?” Seeing that Julian bid at 78 million dollars, Benjamin was furious again.

“Hmph! He wants to stop at this price again? In his dreams!” he thought.

With that, Benjamin decisively added another 3 million dollars, making it 81 million dollars. Julian raised his eyebrows and smiled. He put his hand on the bidding device deliberately again.

“81 million dollars once,” the auctioneer shouted excitedly as he thought to himself, “There are some incredible noblemen here tonight who are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a painting. It truly an eye-opener.”

Seeing that Julian didn’t bid again, the auctioneer paused for a moment and shouted again excitedly, “81 million dollars twice!”

Benjamin cast a sidelong glance at Julian, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Julian’s hand on the bidding device.

It was too expensive for him to buy that painting at 81 million dollars because that painting was only half the size of the Tiger Roar painting just now.

“81 million dollars thrice! Deal! Congratulations to number 122, Mr. Quigley!” the auctioneer shouted.

Benjamin cursed inwardly, “Goddamn it, Julian Parks!”

He had spent 90 million dollars to buy a pot that was worth 4.5 million dollars earlier, and now he spent another 81 million dollars to buy a painting that was valued at nearly 2 million dollars only.

Most importantly, the painting was only half a size smaller. If it was the same size as the Tiger Roar painting earlier, he would at least feel more justified in his purchase.

After all, his grandfather also planned to spend 75 million dollars to buy that Tiger Roar painting.

Although this was also one of Ezra’s paintings, there was a big difference between the two of them.

Tiger Roar painting looked majestic, while Gentle River painting looked much gentler, mainly because the size was not comparable to the former.

Julian didn’t bid for the following auctioned items. Benjamin silently gritted his teeth, waiting for the opportunity.

If he really didn’t see any opportunity, Benjamin would try hard to create one.

When he saw a snuff bottle, he bid 750 thousand dollars for it.

He thought that Julian would fight with him. Even if the price was not high, he wanted to trick Julian at least a little bit.

Sure enough, Julian bid 900 thousand dollars.

Benjamin immediately bid 1.05 million dollars. He planned to stop when the price came to 1.5 million dollars. However, Julian stopped bidding at 1.05 million dollars.

As a result, Benjamin had to swallow his anger and spent 1.05 million dollars to buy the snuff bottle.

“Pfft! Hahaha. I can’t hold it anymore. I think Benjamin is so stupid tonight.”

“Look at his grim face!”

“What should I do? I like Annalise’s boyfriend so much.”

Benjamin was even more wretched.

The auction was coming to an end, and it was finally the highlight of the night.

It was a sapphire necklace crafted by an internationally renowned master.

It was said that the same gem was made into two necklaces. One was “Eye of the Sky,” which was being auctioned at the moment, and the other was called the “Heart of the Ocean,”

Julian liked the necklace at first sight. He felt that Annalise would definitely look elegant if she wore it. Thinking about it, he bid 15 million dollars decisively.

Seeing that Julian bid 15 million dollars at one go, Benjamin immediately started competing with him.. He felt that he finally had an opportunity to trick Julian.

As such, he bid 30 million dollars decisively.

Seeing the necklace which was named “Eye of the Sky,” many rich women and socialites on the scene were excited. They wanted it too!

Even if the price reached 30 million dollars, there were still seven bidders on the scene.

Julian Increased it by another 15 million dollars, making it 45 million dollars!

Benjamin squinted at that necklace. “Julian must be determined to succeed, isn’t he? Good! My chance for revenge has come at last,” he thought.
