Chapter 89 This Is a Gift From My Boss
Gretchen was looking at him too. "Martin..."
Martin frowned. He had promised her earlier, so backing out now was too late. "I said that I would give it to you. Don't worry."
He bit the bullet and raised his bidder card. "11 million."
"Okay, Mr. Morel bids 11 million. Is there anyone else?"
"20 million!"
Otto directly rounded out the price.
Martin's face instantly darkened.
Sensing the shift in his emotions, Gretchen immediately said, "Martin, it's okay. I didn't like it that much anyway."
Martin frowned. As he was hesitating, he inadvertently caught sight of Gwenda's look of mockery. Steeling his heart, Martin gritted his teeth and called out. "21 million dollars!" Gretchen was shocked, her heart filled with unspeakable joy.
Seeing this, Justina leaned close to her ear and said with a smile, "Mr. Morel really dotes on you."
Gretchen said shyly, "Martin has always been very good to me."
"I bet you that Gwenda's in a bad mood right now."
Justina looked over to Gwenda with a smug, provocative expression.
Seeing this, the mocking smile on Gwenda's face grew bigger. She looked away, unmoved by Justina's attitude.
"Mr. Morel has bid 21 million dollars. Is there a higher bid price?"
The host's voice was high-pitched.
"21 million, going once!"
"21 million, going twice!"
"21 mil..."
"100 million!"
Otto interrupted him.
Once he said that, there was an uproar.
"Oh my god, he actually bid 100 million dollars."
"What a rich dude, man."
"Who is he?"
Gwenda's eyelid twitched in disbelief and whipped out her phone to call Olivier.
"Have you gone mad? 100 million dollars just for some necklace?"
"You don't like it?"
Olivier was leaning against the railing on the second floor, casually gazing at Gwenda's anxious face below.
"You really want to give it to me?"
Gwenda facepalmed.
"Of course!"
"But..."
"You're worth it."
Right after Olivier finished speaking, the hammer came down, and the host cried, "Congratulations! Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining the "Heart of the Ocean" at the bid price of 100 million dollars!"
The audience burst into applause.
Gwenda was in complete shock. She was about to say something when Olivier cut the call.
Over with Martin, he looked embarrassed, and Gretchen was also at a loss.
"Martin, it's okay. I didn't like it that much."
Gretchen comforted him attentively.
Justina also went along with her friend. "Yeah, Mr. Morel. It's not worth it to spend 100 million on some shabby necklace. It's better to give Gretchen something else instead." Hearing this, Martin's face eased up a little and he hugged Gretchen, murmuring affectionately, "Then, if you see something that you like, tell me, okay?" "Okay."
Gretchen nodded, but she was still a little upset.
She wondered who that man's background was, spending 100 million dollars just to buy the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace...
Just as all guests were confused about Otto's identity, the organiser had already packed up the necklace and given it to Otto. "Sir, please store it well."
"Thank you."
Otto took the necklace and walked straight over to Gwenda without hesitation.
Right at this moment, Hattie became excited. "Gwenda, who do you think this guy is? He actually bought the necklace with a price of 100 million dollars! What a rich... Huh? Hang on, why is he coming towards us? What's going on..."
As Hattie was freaking out, Otto was now standing before Gwenda. "Miss Evans, this is a gift from my boss. Please accept it."
