The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Chandler and Jeremiah placing a bid at the same time incited the crowd's interest in the amulets.

Jeremiah didn't expect Chandler to be interested in the amulet as well. Smiling, he made a gesture of invitation and said politely, "Old Master Lennard, you may bid for the first amulet. I won't compete with you."

Chandler thanked him with a smile. "Sir Wade, thanks for giving me the chance to go first. In that case, I'll take this one first. I won't compete with you for the next amulet."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Jeremiah laughed and nodded in agreement. "Great, great! Mr. Lennard, do go ahead."

Chandler raised his hand at once and made a bid. "I offer twenty million."

Jasmine quickly added, "Mr. Lennard, you just need to offer one million US dollars higher than the previous bidding price. There's no need for you to bid at such a high price."

Chandler waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine."

Jasmine couldn't do anything but nod in reply. She announced solemnly, "Our VIP, Mr. Lennard, has placed a bid of twenty million US dollars for the first amulets. Is there a higher bidder?"

Many in the hall were now interested in the amulet. However, they were aware of Chandler's identity and respected him, so no one competed with him.

They didn't join the bidding for the first amulet, but were secretly trying to figure out its greatness. Why would Old Master Lennard offer twenty million US dollars to bid for it?

Jordan muttered in a low voice, "Lennard and Wade haven't participated in the previous biddings. Why were they suddenly interested in the amulets?"

He then asked Jarvis next to him, "Master Yant, can you tell me what's so special about those amulets?"

Jarvis carefully observed the amulet on the huge screen for a long while. At last, he said, "Lord Fox, these four amulets are indeed made of the best Tridacna shell. Tridacna shells of such quality have been rare in recent years. It is a treasure of heaven and earth, and has the effect of warding off evil and preventing disaster. If you wear it on your body, it'd be beneficial

for you.'

Jarvis then added, "However, an amulet like that shouldn't be so expensive.

Furthermore, the amulets only use a small piece of Tridacna shell. I don't know the master who made the amulets, and without knowing the maker's strength, I can't tell you how strong they are."

Jordan nodded in understanding. "I also don't know how effective this amulet will be, but Lennard seems to be very interested in it. There must be something special about it."

Jordan soon came to a decision. "I'll bid for the next amulet too!"

Jarvis interjected hurriedly, "Lord Fox, I think you shouldn't bid for the next amulet yet. The head of the Wade family seems interested in it so we might as well let him bid first. After all, this auction is coorganized by the Wade and Moore families, so the head of the Wade family can be considered as a host as well. We're guests, so we should respect the host."

Jordan nodded in agreement. "I'll bid for the third piece, then."

No one in the hall competed with Chandler for the first amulet. The fall of the hammer sounded after Jasmine called the price thrice.

Chandler was overjoyed to win the

bid for the amulet. He knew he couldn't afford to join the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill, so he had long gotten over it. Being able to win an amulet handmade by Charlie was already a blessing for him.

Based on the auction house rules, any item other than the Rejuvenating Pill would be sent to the bidder after the auction ended.

Jasmine then commenced the auction for the second amulet.

Jeremiah raised his hand straightaway and placed a bid of ten million US dollars.

Interestingly, no one competed in

n

the bidding with him. Everyone in the hall knew the Wade family was one of the joint organizers for the auction. As they didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Wade family, they refrained from competing with him.

As a result, Jeremiah won the second amulet easily.

Soon, it was the auction for the third amulet. The number of bidders suddenly increased.

The price quickly rose from ten million US dollars to eighty-seven million US dollars.
