Chapter 2716
"Is Miss Morrison's boyfriend just bidding randomly?' "That's so rude of him!"
Hearing the sarcastic remarks from Bucky and Aurelia, the crowd was taken aback.
They already learned that Leon was a lowly vice president and it seemed unlikely that he could afford to pay 5 million.
Since Leon participated in the bidding, he should follow the rules and not bid over his budget.
If Leon failed to produce 50 million, this would break the rule and everyone would feel fooled.
This was a rather inappropriate act, making Leon as despicable as common thugs.
There were a few powerful figures in the crowd and they all looked down on shameless thugs.
Misled by Aurelia and Bucky, they all turned to Leon in contempt.
However, what shook them all happened in the next moment.
"Hahaha, how hilarious! It's just 50 million. Who told you that Mister Wolf can't afford it? Mister Grimston, you've underestimated
Mister Wolf." Just then, a melodious voice sounded.
A young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in expensive clothing, strode out of the crowd with two bodyguards.
He was the eldest son of the Rathbournes, Arron. He always enjoyed collecting gems and jadeites.
The commotion from the rock gambling area drew his attention as well, so he came over with two bodyguards to see what was
happening.
As Leon and Bucky bid against one another and raised the price to 50 million, he witnessed everything.
During Jaxon's bouquet, he attended to purchase herbs that could help with his training.
He met Hugh that night and witnessed the magical power of the alchemical pills, so he already knew how powerful Hugh and
Cynthion Group were.
He observed as Bucky and Aurelia humiliated Hugh. They even tried to mislead others into mocking Hugh as well.
Unable to stand it any longer, he stepped forward to defend Hugh.
"Mister Rathbourne? What do you mean? A poor vice president like him can't possibly possess 50 million! That's not possible!"
Bucky turned and recognized Arron right away.
Shocked, he was baffled as to how Arron knew Hugh and why he was defending him.
