Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 590

The people present were unaware of Louis and Olivia’s intentions. They were simply interested in the legend behind

this set of jewelry.

*4 million dollars!” A deep and cold voice sounded.

Everyone turned toward the direction of the voice and their gazes landed accurately on Zion’s private

room.

The man was slouching on the sofa, typing on his laptop with his arms resting on the backrest. His white shirt was

rolled up to his arms, revealing his toned forearm and an expensive wristwatch.

He held a cigarette between his clean and slender fingers, the crimson sparks flickering intermittently.

The light flickered, and a hazy profile flashed through the white smoke.

His looks were no less attractive as compared to David’s.

“4 million dollars in a single move. He seems like a wealthy person with plenty of money to spare!”

“That’s the heir of the Summers family from Pollister.”

“Oh, there was quite a big commotion recently when they acquired Hubert Group. His methods were quite

impressive.”

“Aren’t you guys curious about which family is more powerful, the Summers family from Pollister or the Smith

family from Seaxas?”

“There’s really no comparison, is there? Although the Summers family is from Pollister, their status in Pollister is

equivalent to the Johnson family from Seaxas, and as for the Smith family, they might be considered nouveau riche,

but it’s just due to everyone’s flattering. Who doesn’t know that the Smith family has been going downhill recently?

How can they be considered nouveau riche?”

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Smith family is spending excessively tonight. I don’t think they have much

money left to spend!”

This isn’t the end yet. It’s still uncertain who will win.”

The whispers from the people below the stage fell clearly into Louis’s ears.

His expression suddenly darkened, as if it was covered in a layer of terrifying frost. His black eyes narrowed slightly,

and a sharp cold light emitted from his eyes.

The incident with Olivia a few days ago had a certain impact on the Smith family, in particular on the joint project

between the Smith and Cruise families.

The partners had all proposed to terminate the contract and demanded the two families compensate for the

breach of contract.

Although the company was not too affected, as outsiders had said, with the current situation of the Smith family’s

current situation, there was not much money on the books for them to squander.

But he needed the set of jewelry on the stage.

That was the key to his visit to Marina Jones.

With this in mind, Louis’s eyes flickered with determination as he raised the number plate. “6…”

“10 million dollars!”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

In an instant, the entire place fell into dead silence.

While everyone was raising bids by 2 million dollars, this man raised it by 8 million!

This was no different from throwing money around casually!

Louis was equally shocked and looked up at David in the private room diagonally opposite him.

However, David didn’t even pay attention to them, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Even if he didn’t do

anything, his innate noble and indifferent aura couldn’t be concealed.

Rachel looked at David with her eyebrows raised slightly. “What are you doing?”

“Unwilling to give it to them, right?” David retorted.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Rachel’s lips. “As expected, nothing can escape your eyes.”

David leaned toward her ear and whispered, “A man who is worthy of Rachel Grey naturally can’t be too bad.”

His warm breath fell on her ear, and his low and magnetic voice carried a hint of laughter. It was like countless little

h**ks that tickled her heart.

She wanted to reach out and rub her ear, but before she could raise her hand, David grabbed her.

Looking at their interlocked fingers, Rachel’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards.

At this moment, Zion’s voice sounded again. “12 million dollars!”

Upon hearing the amount. Louis felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His pupils trembled slightly.

This amount had far exceeded his expectations.

“But…”

“Louis, are you giving up? Without this set of jewelry, how are you going to ask Marina for help?” Olivia thought that

they could rest easy after Rachel lost the right to bid, but she did not expect Zion and David to continue bidding

against each other.

Moreover, the price was so high that it was dizzying.

However, she was really unwilling to give up just like that.

She held Louis’s hand and said earnestly, “Louis, the Seaxas conference is only two months away. Don’t you want to

use Marina’s connections to move the Smith family forward?”

Upon hearing this, Louis frowned imperceptibly. His grip on the number plate tightened.

After a moment of silence, he finally raised the number plate in his hand. “14 million dollars!”

Before anyone could react, Zion’s voice sounded again. †20 million dollars!”

Everyone was stunned by the price of 20 million dollars. Before they could recover, a deep voice sounded, “40

million dollars!”

Louis’s heart instantly sank as he looked up at David with a dark gaze.

Despair flashed across Olivia’s eyes.

She knew Louis well enough to know that he wouldn’t continue bidding at this price.

This also meant that they were going to lose this set of jewelry.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Louis suddenly spoke, 50 million dollars!”

In an instant, Olivia felt like she had been pulled out of an ice-cold lake. Her groggy mind instantly sobered up, and

her pupils trembled as he looked at Louis.

She gulped, her voice trembling with shock. “Louis, you…”

Louis glanced at her and said, “Don’t worry. I can handle it.”

*50 million dollars is nothing compared to what it could bring to the Smith family!”

The people below the stage looked at Louis in disbelief.

Even the experienced host was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

According to the organizer’s estimation, this set of jewelry was expected to sell for a maximum of 10 million dollars.

They never expected it to soar to 50 million dollars!

After a long while, the host regained his senses and maintained his image. “The current bid is 50 million dollars. Is

any bid higher than this? 50 million dollars once! 50 million dollars twice! 50 million dollars… Sold!”

As the host’s gavel fell, he was the first to applaud and congratulate. “Congratulations to Mr. Smith of the Smith

Group for winning this royal jewelry set for 50 million dollars!”

Olivia held Louis’s hand excitedly. “That’s great!”

Louis’s smiled slightly, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Now, he only hoped that Marina would truly appreciate this set of jewelry.

Only in this way would everything he had done tonight be worth it.

Rachel looked at Olivia’s joyful expression. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

“Reluctant?” David asked.

“If I were reluctant, I wouldn’t have taken it out.” Rachel turned to look at him. “A set of jewelry bought for 4 million

dollars was exchanged for 50 million dollars. It’s a great deal.”

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Darcy walked in.

He nodded slightly at David, then walked over to Rachel’s side. “Miss Grey, are we asking the usual tonight?”
