Chapter 145
If they continued to argue with each other, the Naiswells might be burdened too. That was unnecessary for Rosalie Naiswell. After all, the reason she went there was none other than for the auction.“Miss Naiswell, please wait for a moment…” Wyatt Johnson became nervous. ‘I had taken a slap for you. How could you leave just like that?’At that moment, he caught up with Rosalie while turning around. He then said with an ugly facial expression, “Dawson, it’s over for you now. Just you wait and see. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer my family's money out of the bank. You won’t be able to be the CEO of the bank anymore!”At that moment, Dawson Robbins did not even look at Wyatt. However, he turned around and looked at Harvey York. He then sighed and said, “Mr. York, I acted rashy, and I didn’t hold myself back. I hope you don’t mind.” Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If you didn’t do anything about it when someone scolded you and claimed that you’re stupid, I’ll really look down on you, Dawson
Chapter 146
Although Rosalie Naiswell was a cold and aloof beauty, Mandy Zimmer on the other hand, was a charming natural beauty. Those two women sat there together just like two beautiful flowers. It was such a pleasing sight, just like a world renowned painting. But Harvey York just took his seat there casually, and he soon ruined the rare and exquisite sight. At that moment, both Jake Surrey and Wyatt Johnson had a drastic change in their facial expressions. “You’re just a live-in son-in-law. How did you even get in here? Staff! What’s wrong with your auction here? How could you let a person without an invitation card enter the auction house? Aren’t you going against the rules and regulations here?” Jake queried. “That’s right! Someone thought that he could enjoy the same treatment as ours after he became the live-in son-in-law. In the end, he doesn’t even know that he’s just a nobody!” Wyatt said coldly. “Yes! What is happening exactly?” “Don’t you organizers care to give us an ex

Soon, Jake Surrey sent a text message to Cecilia Zachary. Cecilia glanced at her phone. Although she was slightly helpless, she still stood up. She then smiled and said, “Mandy, don’t sit with this worthless piece of trash for the fear that you’ll be affected by his poverty and bad luck. You need to have some good luck today. Come and change your seat with me. Later, Mr. Surrey wants to take you to be acquainted with the superiors from the York Enterprise.”Mandy Zimmer replied without hesitation, “Forget it. I’ll just sit here.” At that moment, Mandy was in an awkward situation. But weirdly enough, she found herself feeling more comfortable and calmer, sitting there with Harvey York than compared to a while back when she was sitting beside Jake. That kind of comfortable feeling did not have anything to do with wealth. It was a feeling like she had returned to her own home, and now she was lying in her own little bed. Mandy also could not explain that feeling, where it came fr

“Dear, it seems like you don’t have to leave with this liar tonight. Since he doesn’t know the CEO of the York Enterprise, then he’s useless. Why don’t I bring you along tomorrow to meet my classmate—Yvonne? That may be much more productive.” Harvey York said to Mandy Zimmer. “Really? How nice!” Mandy appeared overjoyed. Yvonne Xavier was the secretary of the CEO of the York Enterprise. If they could get in touch with her, it would be certainly much easier to get to know any superiors there. Jake Surrey’s facial expression worsened slightly. But Cecilia Zachary was shaking her head slightly, indicating to him that he clearly had a Freudian slip. He would not be able to turn the situation around no matter what he wanted to say. At that time, the auction house soon became packed. In the end, there were around a thousand people. It could be said that the Mountain Top Auction was indeed quite popular.After a short while, the auction began. The first few lots were some classic wat

Cecilia Zachary’s facial expression changed. She did indeed have some interest in Jake. However, Jake Surrey was only interested in Mandy Zimmer, and he was not friendly to her. That had always caused her pain. If not, she would certainly throw herself at such a rich and handsome guy long ago. Why would she introduce him to Mandy then? “Harvey, you can’t even give your wife the things she wants. Could you please stop pretending. You’re very annoying!” Cecilia sneered, and her facial expression changed ceaselessly. “Harvey, Cecilia, please stop talking.” Seeing that scene, Mandy was put in a dilemma. Cecilia had always been disgusted with Harvey York. Harvey did not retort her before, so she would cease talking after condemning him for a short while. Until recently, Harvey was clearly different from before and Cecilia had suffered many times because of her argument with him. Sitting beside them, Jake smiled faintly, and as he was about to say something. All of a sudden. “9.
Chapter 150
Mandy Zimmer’s facial expression appeared slightly disgusted. At first, Jake could get so much money for her sake, and she was quite touched by that. But now she felt quite upset and annoyed inside since Jake Surrey always mocked Harvey York. Although Harvey was poor, and he was a live-in son-in-law no less, he had been doing all the house chores during those three years. He devoted himself to the hardships wholeheartedly. Although Mandy could not accept him at first, she now started to recognize the good in him. Besides, she would feel quite humiliated if her husband was being condemned like that in public no matter how bad her husband was. At that moment, Mandy frowned slightly and said, “Mr. Surrey, I hope that you can take back what you just said and apologize to Harvey.” “Do you want me to apologize to him?” Jake burst into laughter. “Actually, I just do it for your own good. Mandy, this guy is not an ambitious man, but he’s so arrogant in public. He may get into trouble
Chapter 151
Mandy Zimmer did not deny that, and she only nodded slightly. Harvey York stretched his hand out to put it on her small hand. He then smiled and said, “Then as your husband, I’ll present that to you as a gift!” Mandy was stunned for a short while, because she did not know how to respond to that. However, Rosalie Naiswell glanced at Harvey, and she could not help but sigh. ‘It’s fine if he’s not capable. But he’s so bad at pretending! That thing now belongs to the Yorks. How could anyone else retrieve that?’‘You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Do you even have the right?’ ***“Subsequently, we’ll have the sixth lot for auction. Regarding this lot, even our appraisers could not identify its authenticity. But we heard that the origin of this item was exceptional. Ladies and gentlemen, you’re welcome to come forward to assess it. Then, you can decide whether you want to bid for this lot…” At that moment, the female auctioneer’s eyes brightened. She noticed that the atmosphere w

“Certainly, this painting is not much different from the authentic one. I feel that it’s some kind of highly exceptional replica which was done by someone in the later generations. Besides, it’s quite possible that it’s produced in our time. Moreover, it might even be some kind of product which is sold online. It might not even be worth fifteen dollars…” Wyatt Johnson said word by word. At the same time, he looked at the auctioneer and said, “Young lady, I’m not trying to ruin the credibility of the auction house here. I’m merely speaking the truth. I hope you don’t mind it.” That auctioneer smiled and said, “Our appraisers don’t dare to confirm its authenticity too. It turns out that the authentic painting had been divided into two long ago. Previously, I thought that it was just a well replicated painting, so the appraisers did not dare to affirm its authenticity. It turns out that we don’t need to assess its quality, and we can directly affirm that it’s not the authentic one.”
