Chapter 719: Chapter 737: The Most Surprising Conjecture (10)
She knew that her current predicament was the masterpiece of Isabel Smith and Percy Stanton, so in the end, this jade seal auction became more like a contest between her and Isabel Smith.
Evelyn Osbert, who always had a meticulous mind, seemed determined to win this fight, quickly raising her sign without even thinking, calling out unwillingly, "200 million."
The man sitting beside her, Robert Vincent, heard the price and his facial expression changed.
The atmosphere of the scene instantly dropped to a low pressure, the air as stiff as stone.
So the sisters of the Smith Family were really competing against each other, making the jade seal, which was worth up to 50 million, already four times its highest value, and perhaps even setting a new record?
Everyone’s eyes turned to Isabel Smith once again.
Their gazes were filled with hope.
Isabel Smith didn’t know what Percy Stanton was thinking, so she did not make any rash moves but just turned her head to look at him.
However, this time, Percy Stanton had no expression, just looked at Robert Vincent’s unhappy face, blinking in a relaxed manner, as if the auction event had nothing to do with him at all, leisurely leaning back in his seat and telling Secretary Emille, "The price has indeed been pushed up. If we continue to fight, it’ll hurt both parties, so let’s give up."
As a result, Secretary Emille did not raise her sign again.
Isabel Smith, who had been bidding all the way from the beginning, gave up abruptly, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
In the end, the jade seal was bought by Evelyn Osbert for a price of 200 million.
During the mid-session break of the auction, when Percy Stanton went to the smoking room, he happened to see George Vincent sitting there. He had heard of this name before but had never actually spoken to the man. This time, he took the initiative and approached George Vincent, sitting down, "Mr. Vincent, mind sharing this table with me?"
With such an opening, George Vincent, who has been in the circle for a long time, understood that Percy Stanton had another meaning behind his words, and nodded, sitting up straight, "Not at all."
Percy Stanton gracefully sat down, facing George Vincent, and said, "Thank you."
"Mr. Stanton, you’re welcome," George replied.
Percy Stanton just smiled and said nothing.
The shallow afternoon sunlight outside the window, penetrating through the large glass windows on the thirtieth floor, landed on Percy Stanton and George Vincent, bringing a touch of warmth.
Percy Stanton did not initiate a conversation with George Vincent. He lit a cigarette, and when it was almost finished, he took out his mobile phone, raised his head, and asked George Vincent, "Mr. Vincent, your phone number is?"
George Vincent was a bit puzzled by Percy Stanton’s intention, hesitated for a moment, and then gave his phone number.
Percy Stanton did not speak, his fingers tapped on his mobile phone a couple of times, and then George Vincent’s phone emitted a series of beep noises.
George Vincent picked up his phone and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened, "Mr. Stanton, what is the meaning of this?"
"No particular meaning, just trying to help you," Percy Stanton stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, pulled at his lips, and said casually, "I think you don’t like this new mother, do you?"
New mother... these two words made George Vincent’s face even more difficult to read.
"You and I are both men. When men get impulsive, they lose their reason. I’ve heard that you’ve fallen out with your father because he wanted to marry Evelyn Osbert. Men have a natural sense of dominance, the more you resist, the stronger the reaction, making your father determined to marry Evelyn Osbert for his paternal authority. Therefore, to deal with this kind of situation, you must be cunning," Percy Stanton picked up a glass of water from the table and took a sip, "Evelyn Osbert used 200 million to buy the jade seal. I’m afraid your father is very upset about it now. After all, no one’s money is blown in by a strong wind. However, your father definitely won’t fight with Evelyn Osbert over the 200 million, since men want to save face, but... the photos I just sent you can give your father a source."
