Chapter 929
[ 459 words ]
“Hmm?”
Meeting Juniper’s gaze, Coralie didn’t get angry but smiled instead, her red lips curving. “The little girl is quite cute, just… a bit fierce.”
She looked ready to bite.
“Don’t be angry,” Shanley gently held Juniper’s hand to comfort her. “I promise, no one will take what you want.”
This was a double entendre.
People or things, if she liked them, they were hers.
After two rounds of bidding.
Shanley suddenly stood up and made a gesture to the auctioneer.
The crowd erupted upon seeing his gesture.
The lantern pledge!
In the auction world, this meant he would win the item regardless of the cost. He would follow through to the end.
It was a display of wealth and determination, and few dared to be so arrogant.
But this was Shanley Schwartz, a man at the top of the pyramid in wealth and power.
He could buy out the entire auction, let alone one item.
“The lantern pledge?”
Not expecting Shanley to pull this move, Coralie’s gaze turned cold.
It meant no matter how much she bid, Shanley would outbid her.
She wasn’t qualified to compete with him financially.
For a horsewhip?
Was it really necessary!
“Ms. Quill-“
Just as Channing Irving was about to comfort her, Coralie suddenly stood up and walked over to Shanley.
Juniper looked up at the woman. Under the heavy makeup, her features weren’t very clear.
True, the little girl was blinded by jealousy, how could she care about anything else?!
However, her face looked so annoying.
Maybe because it somewhat resembled Ebony Fox.
“Hello, Mr. Schwartz.”
Coralie adjusted her emotions,
proactively reached out her hand et
and smiled. “I’m Coralie Quill, the manager of the Westshore d
Caelus. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Hello.”
Shanley stared at her blankly and
said expressionlessly, “My fat
strict, it’s not convenient to shake hands content
“Uh.”
Not expecting such a ‘chaste’ man in the 21st century.
Coralie’s brain almost short-circuited.
Haha.
Felt like a ghost story.
“Alright.”
Coralie awkwardly withdrew her
hand and a
to the point. “Mr.
is
Schwartz could you let me have this horsewhip? I’ll try my best to meet any conditions.”
“No.”
Shanley refused bluntly, without any politeness. “My fiancée wants this thing.”
Except for the stars and the moon in the sky. Whatever Juniper wanted, he could get for her.
“No room for negotiation?” Coralie’s gaze fell on Juniper’s face and asked softly.
The girl was wearing a baseball cap, covering her eyes, holding her phone and playing games.
She wasn’t old, but her aura wasn’t small.
Quite a personality.
“None,” Shanley answered. “Please excuse yourself, Ms. Quill.”
“Okay.”
Since the other party’s attitude was so firm, Coralie didn’t insist, smiling meaningfully:
“Mr. Schwartz, use it first. Who knows, it might return to my hands in the future.”
She actually dared to smile at Shanley?
Was she interested in him?
Well, Shanley’s face was prone to attracting bees and butterflies.
Juniper remained silent from beginning to end, but the force of her playing the game grew stronger.
The hard phone screen was almost poked through.
Humph.
What a flirt.
