Chapter 34 A Fool
“Idiot, are you out of your mind?”
Wesley sneered, “You think it’s not over just because you say so? Who do you think you are? And if I recall, you’re out of money, right? Even if the auction wasn’t over, what could you possibly have to compete with me? You really are an idiot!”
Osborne chuckled, “How do you know I’m out of money?”
Wesley’s face was disdainful. “Ophelia and I have accounted for every penny you have.”
“Is that so?” Osborne glanced at Ophelia and said calmly, “You’re right. I was out of money, but thanks to you both, I’m not anymore.”
Wesley frowned. “What do you mean by that, you loser?”
Osborne replied nonchalantly, “I just stepped out to use the restroom.”
Wesley sneered, “Did you run off there to borrow money?”
Osborne shook his head. “Of course not. I merely asked Ms. Lewis to add an extra item to the auction at the last minute.
“Oh, and that item? It’s the pistol you just bought for sixty million and ten thousand dollars. So, I must thank you for that.
Chapter 34 A Fool
Thanks to you, I have 60 million dollars more in my pocket.
“Oh, and guess how much I initially bought that pistol for? Just 300 thousand dollars.
“Tsk tsk, a pistol I bought for 300 thousand dollars was just bought by you for 60 million dollars. I’ve made a 200–fold profit. I almost feel guilty.
“Mr. Ashford, you are truly my benefactor!
“So now that I have 60 million dollars again, how do you think I should spend it?”
Osborne finished with a playful tone, and suddenly, silence fell over the room.
Wesley’s smile froze as he stared at Osborne in disbelief. It was as if thunder was roaring in his mind.
After a long pause, his mouth twitched slightly.
He said with a displeased expression, “What did you just say? You consigned that pistol to Draco Auction House? That’s impossible! You can’t fool me!”
Osborne chuckled but offered no explanation.
At this moment, Debbe approached. “Mr. Augustine is right. The mini–handgun was indeed consigned to us by Mr. Augustine just moments ago. As a VIP client, he has the right to request the auction house to add items to the auction at the last minute.”

As Debbe finished speaking, the room erupted into a buzz of
chatter.
Wesley was dumbfounded.
“No, this loser just got lucky and received a VIP experience card. He’s not a real VIP,” Wesley exclaimed in agitation.
Debbe smiled faintly, “A temporary VIP with an experience card is still a VIP. Mr. Augustine is entitled to all the privileges of being a VIP.”
Moreover, Osborne wasn’t just a temporary VIP.
He owned the prestigious Draco Star Wristlet, a status far superior to that of an ordinary VIP.
However, Debbe wasn’t going to share this detail with Wesley.
She looked at Wesley as if he were a fool.
Wesley was utterly stunned. He finally realized the truth.
No wonder Osborne had been goading him into spending money. The last auction item was Osborne’s, added to the auction at the last minute.
Osborne knew that Wesley wouldn’t accept losing the bet and would spend a fortune to win the final auction item.
So, Osborne set a trap, arranging for his own item to be the last Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

one in the auction and waiting for Wesley to bid wildly.
Wesley spent 60 million dollars on the Draco Model H mini–handgun, which went into Osborne’s account, but Osborne had only paid 300 thousand dollars for it. That was a net profit of 59 million dollars!
Wesley’s eyes turned red with fury. “You bastard! You tricked me!”
Osborne replied coldly, “So what if I did? You’re such a fool. Who else was I supposed to trick? You have only yourself to blame for being both stupid and rich.”
Wesley’s blood boiled at his words. He clenched his fists tightly, his breathing becoming rapid as if he was about to strike.
Osborne looked at him with disdain. “Do you dare?”
Wesley calmed down instantly, gritting his teeth. “You bastard, I still won the bet even if the last auction item was yours! You still have to submit to me!”
Osborne looked at Wesley as if he were an idiot and said calmly, “You really are dumb. Ms. Lewis already said I’m a VIP. I can add items to the auction at any time.
“So now, I’ll add another item to the auction, another Draco Model H mini–handgun and the auction will continue.
“Mr. Ashford, would you like to bid again? How about another 60 million dollars to buy it?
Chapter 34 A Fool
“If you don’t, I’ll buy it myself, which means I’ll have spent more money in the auction than you. And that means I win the bet!
“The one who should admit defeat and submit to me is you!”
