Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Amazing Boyfriend Thinking that Tony would never know what Alexander did not know, Abigail decided to put the blame on Samantha first.

If anyone mentioned the relationship between her and Benjamin in the future, she would deny it and say that she was accompanying Annalise to catch Benjamin in the act that day.

She also planned to say that she had a good relationship with Annalise before that, and it was after Annalise wanted all the shares of Moonlight Group that they began to grow apart.

Sure enough, as soon as Tony heard her words, he was convinced and looked down on Annalise even more. “What an ignorant woman, as expected of someone from the countryside. I’ll never let her marry into our family unless I die.”

Then, he thought back to the time when he asked Annalise out and she demanded 1.5 billion dollars from him in an arrogant manner. Anger instantly welled up within him.

“Dad, don’t be angry!” comforted Alexander once again while patting his father’s back.

Tony let out a long sigh. The more he looked at Abigail, the more he felt that she had the aura of a noble lady. “Abbie, you and Alexander are officially a couple now. If you see something you like later, tell me, and I will buy it for you.”

“It’s all right. I don’t need anything,” Abigail responded with a bright smile.

She had made up her mind not to buy anything and would donate something later, which would make her look sensible and caring.

The bidding between Julian and Benjamin was still going on, and the price had soared to 67.5 million dollars. Julian looked calm and collected. On the contrary, Benjamin was already sweating profusely.

Although he was the heir of the Quigley family, he had never spent so much money at once.

After all, the branch office he was managing now had an annual profit of only 75 million dollars.

It was equivalent to spending a year’s income on a painting.

Thinking of what his grandfather said, he gritted his teeth and entered 75 million dollars into the bidding. machine.

In an instant, his bidding price was shown on the big screen.

Seeing that the price had soared to 75 million dollars, Tony immediately called Julian, trying to avert the latter’s attention so that he would not have time to bid.

Unexpectedly, Julian glanced at the caller ID and pressed 78 million dollars on the bidding machine.

Subsequently, he turned off his phone directly.

Once again, Tony almost had a heart attack due to anger.

Seeing that the screen showed 78 million dollars, the crowd burst into a frenzy.

Many women gasped enviously.

“How could there be such an excellent man in this world? He’s so handsome and rich. Is he Annalise’s boyfriend?”

“Will he give this painting to Annalise?”

“He’s spending so much money on a painting. Is he professing his love to Annalise?”

“I don’t think so. Annalise’s from the countryside. How could such an outstanding man fall for her?”

“Didn’t the heir of the Quigley family date Annalise before?”

“I heard that it was to help Abigail get the shares Annalise’s mother gave her.”

“Shh! Stop talking. Look, Benjamin’s expression is grim.”

“Hey, do you think this handsome man has been bidding with Benjamin to help Annalise vent her anger?”

“If that’s true, he’s such an amazing boyfriend!”

“What should I do? Although I don’t like Annalise, I’ll ship her with this man. This is so sweet and satisfying!”

“Look, the auctioneer has slammed the hammer. Benjamin didn’t manage to bid on anything again.

Haha!” In this world, many people liked to see others humiliate themselves. Most of the people present could not even spend 15 million dollars, but when they saw that Benjamin could not get the painting in the end, they still could not help laughing at him.

Listening to those gossip, Benjamin felt even more depressed.

He really wanted to get up and leave. It was too humiliating.

On second thought, maybe there would be something good later, and maybe there would be another Ezra painting later.

Thinking of that, he sat down again.

After Julian won the bid, the staff sent the Tiger Roar painting over.

When the staff member walked over, there was another staff member holding a card machine in her hand. Benjamin screamed wildly in his heart, “He has no money! He can’t afford it!”

He desperately hoped that Julian would not be able to swipe the card and pay for the painting. Then, he would have the chance to humiliate Julian.

As he was looking forward to it, he stared at the card machine. Once the staff swiped the card, Julian started to enter the password.

Benjamin kept shouting in his heart over and over again, “He doesn’t have so much money. He can’t afford to pay for it!”

However, the successful payment shattered his dream, and he felt that his dignity was again violently trampled on by Julian.

Taking over the painting, Julian handed it to Annalise. “Here.”

“No, I can’t take this,” Annalise refused immediately.

It was worth 75 million dollars.

She had just accepted his 882-thousand-dollar perfume and was still holding the 300-million-dollar betrothal gift given by his grandfather. If she were to accept another present from him again, she would not be able to sleep at night.

Looking at her face full of resistance, he could not help but smile gently. “Hold onto it for me.”

“Phew…” As soon as Annalise heard that he only wanted her to help him hold onto it, she let out a sigh of relief and took the painting.

In fact, Julian’s voice was so low that almost no one heard it. Everyone present only saw him handing the painting to Annalise with a gentle smile, and she refused it at first, but then accepted it with a smile moments later.

The women at the scene instantly exploded with excitement.

“Am I any less than Annalise? Why can’t I meet such an excellent man? My appearance is no worse than her!”

Someone immediately retorted, “In terms of looks, I’ve never thought of this before, but Annalise is really. beautiful. She looks gorgeous tonight. That long purple dress is simply amazing!”

“Yeah, Annalise is extremely pretty. In the past, we felt that she was ordinary because she didn’t like to dress. up. The other reason was that she was from the countryside, and we were prejudiced that country people were rustic.”

‘You’re right. If we look at her objectively, she’s really beautiful, more beautiful than Abigail.”

“Abigail actually looks average. She’s been well-pampered since she was a child, and she has good fashion. sense. Because she has a wealthy background, everyone thinks she’s pretty.”

When those people were chatting, they did not lower their voices. The moment Abigail heard them, she rolled her eyes contemptuously and thought, “How dare they compare Annalise to me? Are they blind?”

She had to pretend to be a sensible woman in front of Alexander and his father, so she did not participate in the auction. Because of that, Annalise stole her limelight. “It’s exactly what the proverb says. When the cat is away, the mice will play. Just wait. After I get married to Alexander and move to Jadeborough in the future, I’ll definitely teach Annalise a lesson,” she remarked mentally.

Amidst everyone’s chatter, the auction continued.

The fourth auction item was a double-sided embroidery, also made by a famous artist.

Julian asked Annalise whether she liked it or not, but she shook her head, so he did not join the bid Since Benjamin never liked such things, he did not bid as well.

The fifth auction item was bronzeware, and Benjamin was not interested in that kind of thing Seeing that Benjamin did not bid, Julian leaned onto the back of the chair lazily.

When they reached the seventh auction item, Mr. Quimby’s pottery, Benjamin felt energized in an instant
