Chapter 844: 844. Unexpected dog food

Everyone thought that Adam Jones had already spent over 500 million, and now this ancient zither was going for 200 million, surely Adam would refrain from buying it.

All eyes were on Adam, including Sophia Green.

She wished dearly that Adam would flatly refuse; that way, even if his earlier expenditure of over 500 million wasn’t for her, she would feel somewhat relieved.

This time, George Parker didn’t immediately swipe his card but instead looked at Adam with a sneer and said,

"President Jones, considering you’ve spent so much money already, if you’d rather not buy this zither, I can take it back."

Elly Campbell also thought that spending 200 million on an ancient zither was too expensive and completely unnecessary, so she tugged at his shoulder and said,

"That’s about enough, why buy so much to take back home?"

It was clear that George was just seizing the moment to fleece someone.

However, Adam spent a few seconds looking at the beautifully crafted, exceptional sounding zither and said,

"Donate the others to the National Museum, but we’ll keep this zither."

"Keep it for what, I don’t even play."

Only to hear

Adam gave a nonchalant chuckle, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and whispered, "I do."

Then, he leaned closer to her ear and whispered even lower, "I’ll play it for you when we get home."

Although Adam spoke in a very low voice, because no one else was speaking at the moment, his words were clearly heard by those close to him.

This display of affection...

Some looked on at the couple with good-natured envy and teasing smiles.

Purchasing antiques worth hundreds of millions for his wife wasn’t enough; back home, he would play the zither, worth several hundred million, for her.

The lengths to which Adam indulged his wife were enough to make anyone green with envy.

Because of her earlier confrontation with Elly, Sophia stood right in front of Elly and could clearly hear the low whispers between Adam and Elly.

Jealousy twisted her insides.

Why... why did this man give all his love, so unreservedly, to just Elly?

She glared at Elly with fury, her insides in turmoil.

This woman, why was she so lucky? All the good things in the world seemed to have been given to her alone.

Elly was unaware that she was being warped by Sophia’s jealousy, her ears only burning when Adam whispered sweet nothings in her ear in front of so many people.

Before she could object, Adam had already spoken to George, "Package everything up."

George’s smile surfaced aptly at his lips as he said,

"President Jones is so generous. It seems on the account of President Jones buying so much in one go, we can provide home delivery service."

With that, he gestured grandly, instructing his subordinates to pack up the items.

"Except this zither, send everything else directly to the National Heritage Museum."

"Sure thing, all according to President Jones’ wishes."

George, ever the sycophant, showed none of the hostility he had earlier displayed towards her.

Elly glanced at George, then at Adam beside her, feeling that the hostility from George was because of Adam.

It was only after duping Adam into buying his goods worth hundreds of millions that George slowly reopened his fan, posing elegantly as he gently fanned himself and looked towards a rosewood gift box being held by a servant of the Clark family.

Inside the gift box, on bright yellow silk, lay a cracked inkstone; the smile on his face slowly faded, and by the time he was about to speak, the smile in his eyes had completely vanished.
