Ivan's tiny little brain could not fathom it. Where did Fane get so much money? 95 million? Was he even sane?
Ivan clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth. He paused before saying, "Fine. I'm down on my luck today. I'll let you have it this time. However, I really want to know if you increased the price deliberately just to trick me. D o you even have that much money? Hmph! If you can't take out ninety-five million right now, everyone here including the upper management of the auction house will not let you slide!"
"Ninety-five million! Such an unbelievable price!"
"That's right! How could an adopted son-in-law cough up ninety-five million? It’s just a villa! That's almost a hundred million!"
"The owner of the villa who commissioned this auction would probably be shocked to death with the outcome!"
The wealthy businessmen were completely stupefied a s well. Their gazes toward Fane were no longer full of contempt and mockery but replaced with approbation and respect.
They all knew that no one would squander their money like this unless the individual was not an ordinary person.
"Haha, given up, have you? That’s great!"
Fane let out a hearty laugh and turned to the auctioneer on the stage. "Hammer it and seal the bid!”
"Ninety-five million, going once!
"Ninety-five million, going twice!
"Ninety-five million, going for the third and final time!
"Sold!"
The auctioneer shouted without any emotion, striking her gavel against the block. Little did the crowd know, the auctioneer was still in shock.
"Alrighty, Ivan Taylor, our beloved Young Master Taylor, it's time for you to shine like a shoe-shiner! Haha!
"But there isn't a cloth nor a rag here, how're you going to wipe my shoes clean? Hmm. Don't tell me you're going to lick them clean?!”
