Chapter 188

Jared had delegated the task of selecting auction items to Dino entirely, not expecting Dino to come up with only such an unexciting collection.

Dino was standing respectfully to the side. He bowed his head and moved a step backward toward the gold marble behind him as soon as Jared swept his gaze over.

Dino had a straight face, but the tip of his nose was trickling with sweat.

Jared looked at him with a half-smile, and Dino finally could not help but say,

“I’m sorry, Mr. Johnston, the quality of this batch of goods is indeed not up to much. But with the diamond, at least the auction will generate at least one hundred million dollars in revenue. That’s why I have positioned this auction as a Gold Session. If it doesn’t reach one hundred million, I’m willing to be punished for it.”

There was a hollow, indifferent look in Jared’s eyes when he heard that. His eyes upturned, and he did not look at Dino again but shifted his attention to Box Two. This private box was too close to his position, and he was worried about his own safety, so it had never been occupied. But this time, a distinguished guest was inside and had raised the bid to eighty million dollars. Jared started to find things more interesting.

When the blonde saw no one was continuing to bid, she called out, “At eighty million once! At eighty million twice!” Dino’s heart sank. The penalty was inevitable, it seemed.
