Chapter 200
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 200 The Taibbi family is made of maniacs. Did you forget about Carlos having a conflict with him in Morose Entertainment Club: Carlos is still recovering in the hospital because of it.â a friend behind Kyle reminded in a low voice.
Everyone in their circle looked down on families like the Taibbi family, who did not rely on a successful company but on their gang to upkeep their reputation However, they could not afford to mess with them either.
Quinton was Spikeâs son. Thus, if one did not know the duo had cut ties, they would not dare to provoke Quinton.
Jessica was a little worried about Quinton. After all, she did not want him to mess with those people because of her.
âLetâs go. Quinton took Jessicaâs hand and walked toward the charity auction.
Initially, Quinton had been invited to the auction. Despite he had been disinterested, he had rushed over for fear that Jessica would get bullied.
Touched, Jessica looked at Quinton silently without saying anything.
âI heard that Quinton had been arrested by the police a few days ago, and his father even cut ties and no longer cares about him At that moment, several rich men who despised Quinton were crowded together.
âLetâs say Spike doesnât care about him. If you ask me, Mr. Roth, tonight...â
Kyle narrowed his eyes. âLetâs do as you say?â
At the charity auction. Quinton sat in his seat and glanced at Henry, who was not far away.
Obviously, Henry also noticed him and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. âIt seems like Quinton is still doing well despite parting ways with Spike, he thought.
Quinton ignored Henry, remaining an air of indifference and disdainfulness as usual.
By Quintonâs attitude, it seemed that he was not the same person who begged Henry to save Jessica. It was a classic example of one abandoning another after taking advantage of them.
âMr. Taibbi, I heard you were locked up in the police station a few days ago. You shouldnât do anything illegal. Did your father freeze all the money in your bank account? Should we borrow some from you? Donât embarrass yourself at the first auction you attend. Behind Quinton, a few rich familiesâ
children sat down coincidentally.
Jessica held Quintonâs arm nervously. She knew about Quintonâs current situation and that he could not get a job.
However, it was embarrassing for one if they did not purchase anything there. After all, it was a charity auction.
Nonetheless, Quinton was unfazed and sneered at their ignorance.
âWhy arenât you talking. Mr. Taibbi? Donât make a fool out of yourself and try to say you donât like anything in the auction.â Several people continued to ridicule him.
This is a charity auction. Donât humiliate yourself.â
Quinton furrowed his eyebrows, feeling that the people behind him were too noisy.
âIt seems like all kinds of people are allowed into charity auctions nowadays, Quinton sneered.
O 12:12 Wed, May 15 0.
Chapter 200 Behind Quinton, the groupâs faces darkened as they waited for Quinton to humiliate himself.
âSamuel!â
âI thought he wouldnât come after the Turner family had such a huge scandal.â
âThe woman with him is the eldest daughter of the Turner family. Gosh. Sheâs such a gorgeous woman. Is her husband blind? How could he get a mistress and embezzle her company s project fund?â
11 When Nina and Samuel attended the charity banquet together, they were so stunning that nobody could avert their eyes.
Samuelâs height nor appearance were anything less to the male models present in the venue.
When Samuel walked past Henry, he did not utter a word.
Henry did not say anything either.
âMr. Gibson, what is the item you donated for the auction? Why donât you reveal it to us first? We can get a bit of your fate of fortune that way Behind them, a few people were trying to butter up to Henry.
Henry remained indifferent and refused to say a word âWhereâs Jo?â Henry frowned and glanced at Samuel âSheâs by my side. Thereâs no need to worry about nothingâ Samuel did not look at Henry. Initially, Samuel did not want to attend. However, he decided to attend with Nina to stop all the gossip.
It was also in order not to cause chaos and prevent Turner Corporationâs share price from fluctuating too much.
The auction began with auctioning of antiques, calligraphy, and paintings:
From beginning to end, Samuel and Henry sat quietly without intending to participate in the auction.
The assistants they brought along with them would help them source and estimate the donation amount.
âThe next auction item is a set of emerald jewelry donated by Mr. Henry Gibson. This set of jewelry is very valuable, and 1 believe everyone has heard of it. The starting price of it will be 12 million dollars...
When Samuel saw the pictures in the auction, his face darkened Henry, youâre auctioning off this set of jewelry?â
Josieâs grandmother left the jewelry set to Hayden, and he later passed it to Kathy. After Kathy died, Josie returned the jewelry to the Gibson family.
For Josie, the jewelry set contained memories related to her mother.
It was Haydenâs oath of love for Kathy.
*1.27 million dollars...â
Henry did not reply and sat quietly.
*15 million dollars.â Samuel raised his bidder number.
Henry lowered his head and said nothing.
Initially, he had planned to return the jewelry set to Josie on their wedding anniversary that year.
However, Ashley had secretly worn the necklace and was even caught by the media.
III 12:12 Wed, May 15 Chapter 200 Afraid that Josie would mind, Henry did not dare to make a move for a long time.
Now, he could only hand the jewelry set back to Josie in this way â2.25 million dollars!â
Samuel turned around and looked at Charles with a frown. âWhat a sly man. He took the opportunity to increase the price. Obviously, he knew that I would walk away with the jewelry,â he thought.
â3 million dollars.â Samuel continued to raise his bidder number Nina was stunned by her brotherâs action. âSamuel?â
âI will use my personal savings. Donât worry. I must have this jewelry, Samuel explained lowly.
Nina seemed to understand and smiled, âYou should go for something if you like it. Iâll sponsor you.â
Samuel smiled, feeling warmness in his heart.
â3.45 million dollars.â Beside them, Quinton was also deliberately increasing the price.
The rich familiesâ children behind them were all confused. âMore than 3 million dollars? Are they mad? He did it on purpose!â they thought.
They all looked forward to seeing Quinton making a fool out of himself.
Jessica was also frightened. âWhat should we do if nobody places another bid?â
Seeing that Jessica was scared, Quinton smiled and whispered in her ear, âHenry wonât let me take this jewelry away.â
â3.75 million dollars.â Henry also raised his bidder number.
â3.75 million dollars going once-
4.5 million dollars.â Samuel raised his bidder number.
Charles still wanted to raise the price. âItâs too much of a waste ift donât take this opportunity to mess with Henry and Samuel. I just want to see how far these two men are willing to go in order to compete for Josic,â he thought.
â5.25 million dollars.â
Zachary gasped and thought, âDid their money grow on trees?â
Glancing back at Charles, Zachary could tell he was deliberately making trouble.
â7.5 million dollars!â Samuel raised his bidder number, and everyone present gasped. âItâs just a charity auction, What is the Turner family doing?â
they wondered.
âIs Samuel trying to tell everyone that the Turner family has huge assets and that Gabrielâs incident wouldnât even make a dent in their foundation?â
âThatâs right. The Turner familyâs tactics are really brilliant.â
âAlthough they would lose 7.5 million dollars, they could prevent more losses. Itâs a smart way.â
â7.5 million dollars going once! 7.5 million dollars going twice!â
Charles narrowed his eyes, knowing he could not continue toying with them. After all, Samuel had already shown his determination and stance in Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)

Wed, May Chapter 200 No matter the price, Samuel would continue bidding till the end Thus, it was meaningless for Charles to continue bidding.
Henry was silent, and his hand holding the bidding number sign was trembling.
His heart was in pain.
Giving out the jewelry set meant he was letting go of Josie and completely handing her over to someone else.
As he felt unreconciled, he wanted to raise his bidding number and get the jewelry set back.
However, he knew that Josie would still be gone despite him snat ching the jewelry back.
