Chapter 289

Not until Marcus took a seat beside her did she realize it was him whod been lifting the paddle

President Hartley, are you interested in this manuscript too?”

Before Marcus could even answer the auctioneer cried out “One million and one thousand for the first

time‘

Marcus raised his paddle again, bidding ten million, causing the auctionee to do a double take “Ten

million for the first time, we have a bid of ten million, any further offers?”

Comelia knew Marcus was loaded, but him raising the bid to ten million in one go was a bit of a

shocker

She swallowed nervously and asked again “President Hartley, are you really interested in this

manuscript?”

“Nah” Marcus was looking at her his heart aching at the sight of her hestation

She obviously wanted the manuscript, but the price was way beyond her budget, each bid left her

wrestling with indecision.

Comelia just couldn’t get rich folks sometimes, “Not interested but still bidding that high?”

Was he out of his mind?

Money didn’t grow on trees, ya knew

Did he have any idea how hard it was for ordinary folks to earn the dough?

For him, ten million might be chump change, but for many others, it’s a fortune they could never hope

to earn in a lifetime

Marcus’s deep voice echoed again, “My staff shouldn’t lose face over such petty matters”

“Sorry I’ve caused you trouble again” Only then did Comelia realize howrash she’d been. As his

assistant, her actions reflected on him

She thought it was no big deal, no point sweating over money, but Marcus didn’t see it that way His first

concern was the interests of the Hartley Group

Marcus said softly, “No need to apologize Just remember, don’t be afraid of anyone when this happens

again, no matter the price, I can handle it”

Comelia “Okay”

In the end, the manuscript was sold for ten million

Unable to spoil the auction, Hayden Ruff strutted over with two of his minions, “Ms. Stewart, congrats

on spending ten million on this scrap paper?”

Although Cornelia was heartbroken about the ten million Marcus had spent, she still responded to

Hayden Ruffs provocation with a smile. “Thank you!”

Hayden Ruff goaded Marcus, “This ten million must have drained your savings, huh? if you’re broke,

you can always send your wife my way. I’ll be happy to pick up the tab.

With a slight push on his glasses, Marcus gave Hayden Ruff a cold look, didn’t utter a word, and left

with Cornelia.

Hayden Ruff glared at their retreating figures, his eyes filled with malice, “Hmph, dare to mess with me,

think you can leave this city unscathed?”

His assistant hurried over. “Mr. Ruff. Hannah seems to be with Steven, I couldn’t keep her”

“Steven?” Even the name sent chills down Hayden Ruff’s spine. “How could an actor possibly have

anything to do with Steven?”

The assistant speculated, “Im thinking, maybe Steven is the financial backer behind Hannah? And if

Hannah knows Steven, and this Comelia woman knows Hannah, Mr. Ruff, it might be best if we don’t

mess with them”

Hayden Ruff refused to believe Hannah could have anything to do with Steven, “Keep that Cornelia

woman and her man here”

The assistant had a bad feeling about this, but couldn’t go against Hayden Ruff’s orders, “Okay”

However, Hayden Ruff never imagined that before he could even step out of the auction hall, his father

Julian Ruff was already on the phone. “You little brat, get back here now!”

Hayden Ruff. “Dad, are you angry again? Im a bit tied up right now, can’t you just tell me over the

phone, or wait until I have some free time?”

Julian Ruff, “Get back here now?

Hayden Ruff, “Speak your mind, don’t always ask me to come back. I’m your son, not your employee”

Julian Ruff, “Do you know who you’ve crossed?”
