Chapter 74
The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 74
"I'll pay 1.1 million! One of the tycoons were itching to make a bid.
"1.2 million!" Another rich person could not hold back anymore and join in.
Brody could feel his insides churn. All he wanted was to buy the stone, but it seemed to have turned into an all-out bidding war! He considered whether or not to just give up on buying it, but now that all the other rich people were jumping on the bandwagon, he did not hesitate anymore and immediately increase the price. "I'll pay 1.3 million!"
"I'll do better. 1.4 million!" Leon raised the price again.
Leon's decisiveness led many of the rich people who participated in the auction to become more confident.
"1.5 million from me!"
1.6 million!"
Brody's eyes turned red and lost his mind completely. "I'll pay 1.7 million!"
"Then I'll offer to buy it for 1.8 million!" Leon said calmly.
"1.83 million!"
"1.85 million!"
"1.88 million!"
The other rich people increased the price one after another, but because the asking price was too high, they had some doubts and did not dare to increase it by too large.
an amount.
"2 million then! I'll pay 2 million!" Brody roared. It was already a bit difficult for him to bear such a high price!
"Fine, you win! I won't try to raise the price anymore!" Leon smiled and gave up on increasing the price altogether.
Those rich tycoons became hesitant. They only bid because Leon was bidding, but with Leon giving up completely, their confidence was all but lost.
After all, the price of that raw jadestone soared to outrageous proportions. If the jadeite contained within was not at least clear jadeite or better, it would result in a certain loss without any profit. Such a risk was too huge, and one they were not prepared to take.
After mulling over it for a moment, several of those tycoons chose to pull out.
"Weren't you trying to be a show-off, Leon? What's wrong? Are you chickening out?"
Brody laughed mockingly and shot Leon a condescending look with disdain-filled
eyes.
He was pissed at Leon ever since the latter obtained the imperial greens and became the center of attention.
Having finally beat Leon in the bidding price, he felt an almost victorious sense of pride in himself!
"You're right, I conceded! I'm not as stupid as you are. Wouldn't I be such a fool if I spent all that money and ended up with nothing?" Leon grinned mockingly.
"You..." Brody's expression changed. He knew that Leon was taunting him in a roundabout way and snorted coldly, "You should keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything good to say. Who do you think you are anyway? You act as if you have x-ray vision. What a joke!"
"Yeah! Don't get so full of yourself just because you got those imperial greens. You were just lucky! My husband's luck might just be better than yours, and he'll get an even bigger imperial green!" Marilyn sneered and did not show any weakness.
"Oh? I'm curious to see whether you'd even be able to get any imperial greens!" Leon jibed and did not bother to argue with Brody.
"Take my card!" Brody paid the money and signaled the staff to cut on the spot.
As the two staff began to cut it, all that was contained inside was merely gravel and nothing else.
"Again!"
Brody's expression changed dramatically, and he was no longer as confident as he was at the beginning.
A few more cuts later, there was still nothing inside.
"Nothing!"
"The young man was right! There's nothing!"
Everyone was taken aback and immediately looked at Leon with surprise.
They finally understood that Leon might have earlier discerned that there was

nothing of value within that piece of raw jade stone. As a result, he deliberately raised the price to try and trick Brody to take revenge against Brody for earlier! Brody's face turned ashen and he was unable to keep his cool any longer.
