Chapter 278 Challenging His Limits

1/5

A group of bodyguards dressed in black suits, surrounded a tall and imposing man as he walked in from outside.

The man was wearing sunglasses. His facial features were sharp, and he exuded a strong and cold aura.

“It’s Mr. Nelson…”

Someone recognized Remington Nelson. Upon seeing Remington’s arrival, many of the women present couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement.

Three top-tier handsome men showed up at the venue today. This was quite a sight to behold!

But Remington’s bid of 20 million dollars for Cecelia’s artwork clearly showed his support for her. Many ladies present were envious.

They couldn’t help but feel frustrated, wondering why Cecelia was so fortunate to have three influential figures competing for her.

When Petunia saw Remington approaching, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. As long as she thought that her genuine feelings were completely rejected by him, she felt resentful!

Petunia stared at Remington without blinking, but he walked straight past her without even glancing in her direction.

This was truly hurtful!

It seemed that his eyes couldn’t accommodate anyone else as long as Cecelia was present.

Remington walked to the center of the venue and scanned his gaze over Jersey and Jonathan.

When Remington approached him, Jonathan shook his hand with him and said, “Mr. Nelson, so you are here to compete with me!”

Jonathan was referring to Cecelia’s painting that he really liked. It seemed that today he had no chance of having it!

After shaking hands with Jonathan, Remington looked at Jersey and said, “Mr. Bowman, I didn’t know you like art so much. You just settled here. And now, you come to bid for artworks already. It seems that you must have a great love for art!”

Remington’s words carried some subtle sarcasm.

Last time, when Remington defeated Jersey, he warned him to leave. the Cathail Republic.

But unexpectedly, Jersey came here again in another status and directly settled in the Cathail Republic for development.Jersey was clearly challenging his limits!

“Mr. Nelson, nice to see you again.”

Jersey showed no signs of retreat and shook hands with Remington gracefully.

This time, their handshake seemed to be polite too, but there were turbulent emotions inside their hearts.

Standing on the side, Cecelia felt a throbbing sensation in her temples when she saw them doing a handshake. She almost had a headache!

At this moment, the auctioneer asked, “Mr. Nelson bids $20 million. Is there a higher bid?”

Jersey looked at Cecelia, and she shook her head, signaling him not to increase the bid. Otherwise, Remington would definitely continue to compete with him.

“Mr. Nelson, since you are interested in this piece of art, I shall gracefully concede and give it to you.”

Just when everyone thought the auction was coming to an end, Jersey spoke again, “However, my bid still stands. I would like to bid $10 million for a single strand of Miss Cecelia’s hair. Consider it an opportunity for me to contribute to charity!”

$10 million for a strand of Cecelia’s hair?

Was this big shot serious?

The women in the audience looked at Jersey in shock. They couldn’t understand his intentions.

Why would he want to buy Cecelia’s hair?

Everyone thought Jersey was being absurd, except for Remington, who knew that this was Jersey’s way of not backing down.

With a dark expression, Remington stared at Jersey and involuntarily clenched his fist.

‘This as shole wants to get Cecelia’s hair? Is he crazy?’

Seeing the awkward situation, Karen took the initiative to go on stage and ease the atmosphere. She said, “Mr. Nelson, thank you for generously bidding $20 million for Miss Linsey’s artwork. Mr.Bowman, I also appreciate your charitable intentions. How about I take charge of this auction?”

Karen smiled at Cecelia and said, “Miss Cecelia, I wonder if I can ask you to donate one precious strand of your hair as an item for auction?”

Cecelia nodded and allowed Karen to pluck a strand of hair from her head.

After having the strand of hair from Cecelia, Karen had the staff bring a transparent plastic bag and put Cecelia’s hair into it.

“Alright! This may be the most special item I have ever seen. Here you go, Mr. Bowman!”

Jersey got Cecelia’s hair as he wanted. He glanced at Remington, who had a stronger warning in his eyes.

If it wasn’t for the occasion they were on, Remington would not easily let him go.

As the auction ended, it marked the successful completion of Charity Day today. In the end, Karen gave a concluding speech, thanking everyone for attending and wishing KLCS a better future.

After the close speech, the female members dispersed. Cecelia said. goodbye to Karen and left the venue.

Remington and Jersey each instructed their respective subordinates. to stay to complete the payments.

Jonathan caught up with Cecelial first, saying, “Miss Cecelia!”

“Mr. Jill!”

“I wonder when you will have time to create new works? If you have any new pieces, please let them be exhibited in my Gleam Gallery. Okay?”

Jonathan just needed Mr. Guston’s artwork now, After knowing Cecelia’s identity, he had been thinking about whether he could talk to her about cooperation.

“No problem. I can have my assistant contact you later.”

“Great! Thank you! I plan to hold a solo exhibition of Mr. Guston’s work at the gallery. I hope to have your support.”

“Sounds good. Let’s discuss it another time then!”

After establishing a preliminary intention to cooperate with Jonathan, Cecelia was going to leave. At this moment, Jersey approached her and called out, “Cecelia!”

“Jersey!”

Jonathan looked at them in surprise and asked, “So, you know Mr. Bowman?”

“That’s right. We were both apprentices of the same teacher.”

“Well then, I won’t disturb you two. I should leave now.”

After bidding farewell, Jonathan left.

Cecelia asked, “Why did the Bowman Group suddenly enter the Cathail Republic? Is there something else going on?”

“Not really. I came to take care of you.”

Jersey certainly couldn’t tell Cecelia the truth about what he was going to do. He opened his car door and said, “Let me drive you.”

Just then, Remington approached them from behind and said, “Cece! Come with me!”

The two men faced each other and started at each other coldly, stirring up tension silently.

Jersey firmly said, “I invited her first.”

“I have something to discuss with Cece.” Remington also didn’t back down.

“Alright, Jersey, Remington and I had other plans. You should go back first. I’ll contact you later.”

Cecelia didn’t take either of their cars, but got into her own car. Remington wouldn’t miss this opportunity and got into her car and sat beside her.

In any case, in front of Jersey, he must maintain his absolute possessiveness over Cecelia, which cannot be infringed by anyone! Seeing Cecelia’s car drove away, Jersey watched the vehicle leave, and Jersey had a mysterious look on his face, as if deep in thought.

Petunia and Maggie, who were standing not far behind, hadn’t left yet. Petunia frowned and said in a resentful tone, “What’s so good about that Cecelia? Why are all the men chasing after her?”

“Alright, go wait for me in the car. I have something to deal with.”

After sending her daughter away, Maggie walked straight towards Jersey.

Jersey averted his gaze, opened the car door, and prepared to get in. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of someone approaching from behind.

Seeing Maggie, he didn’t show surprise, as if he had just encountered a stranger.

“Mr. Bowman…”

When Maggie looked at Jersey, her heart was already in turmoil. Her voice sold out her emotions.

Since he appeared, she had been trying hard to control her emotions. But now, she couldn’t hold back anymore!
