The Sweetest Trophy Wife by Beanie

Chapter 87 Man Who Came Out of the Blue 

The hidden feelings made Gwyneth scrunch her eyebrows. Everyone there was also curious and turned around to look into the booth from an angle. However, the effect of privacy of the booth functioned very well; no one was able to see this person’s face. 

After a few rounds of bidding, the only thing they could determine was that this mysterious person was a man. 

“Raise!” 

It was another round. Gwyneth could not help but furrow her brows. She did not know why, but this voice sounded more and more familiar 

to her. 

“The mister in that booth had raised the price. May I ask if Glen Corporation would like to continue?” 

The host took the auction gavel in his hand; the excitement on his face would not be hidden. 

“Raise!” Gwyneth raised her bidding paddle again and turned around at the same lime. Sure enough, that familiar voice rang again, “Add 

another ten thousand!” 

After three more rounds, Gwyneth’s emotions started to fluctuate. She suddenly had a feeling that this mysterious person was purposely targeting her. 

As the price grew higher and higher, this mysterious person would always raise the price ten thousand dollars higher than she would. 

“What the hell…” Gwyneth lightly gritted her teeth and could not help but look anxious. While entirely focused, she did not notice that Wanda, who was at her side, was oddly silent. 

In fact, since Gwyneth started to bid, Wanda kept observing her expression. Almost every minute, Wanda would take her phone out, form a short message, and then send it out. 

In reality, Gwyneth was not the only person anxious. Gaspard, who was seated behind, could not sit still at all Beads of sweat directly fell from his face, and his expression was exceptionally gruesome. 

“Damn it, where did this rascal come from. This man came out of the blue!” Gaspard gasped. He had assumed that victory was at hand when he initially heard Gwyneth keep raising her paddle. Ultimately, she would get the project, and the money would belong to him. However, everything was still unknown at the moment. Had it been anyone else, they would have gone into a comatose state. 

The scene had become so heated that even the person–in–charge, initially watching the fun, could not help but hold their breath. Just as the host was about to lower the gavel and prepare for the next round, another paddle came up from the seats. 

“Raise!” 

Gwyneth saw this and quickly turned around. She saw Liam raise his paddle without emotion which proved that what she had heard just 

now was not wrong. 

“Oh my god! The Luther Corporation actually joined in this bid!” Someone exclaimed. 

“You should say that Luther Corporation actually joined the bid now! That ability is truly frightening!” Another person corrected. 

Following Liam’s paddle being raised, the originally silent auction hall suddenly became slightly rowdy. Everyone was discussing in whispers and waiting to see how this auction would end. At that moment, the auction hall had changed from a two–person contest into a three–person competition. 

Gwyneth initially assumed Liam was messing around. In the end, he still bid for another two continuous rounds. If there were only the two of them at the moment, Gwyneth wanted to ask that man the meaning behind his actions. 

Gwyneth secretly ground her teeth and moved her gaze away from Liam’s side profile. Her palm was full of sweat. Thirty–four rounds of bidding for the price had been done for this auction. Following the continuous rise of the prices, the expression of the people at the auction was starting to turn weird. 

An odd feeling slowly spread that even Gwyneth felt. A heavy sense of uneasiness flashed in her heart. Her brows were furrowed and never unfurled for even a moment. 

After another round of bidding ended, Gwyneth put down her paddle and stopped bidding. Since the start, she had already had an acceptable price for this Glacier Lake project. This price was over the estimate too much and was not worth it. 

On the other hand, every board member of the Glen Corporation had an ashen face when they saw Gwyneth put down the paddle. However, despite how high–spirited they were initially, they were just as depressed in level currently. Thankfully, they have lived many years in privilege, or else they would have been directly carried to the hospitals. 

Only Liam and the mysterious person in the booth were left in the auction now. At the same time, everyone noticed that since the Glen Corporation had left the current bidding, the mysterious man did not raise the price by ten thousand again. 

From his tone, it seemed to everyone that he was fed up with toying around and was prepared to pack up. He opened his mouth and directly called for a high price. That price completely went through the roof. Everyone at the scene doubted their ears for a moment. 

Liam was slightly stunned, then twitched the corner of his lips into a smile and put down the paddle. 

“Mr. Luther, are you…” Everyone saw the host swallow his saliva hard and asked Liam probingly. He was very excited at the start but was now slightly terrified. 

“Not calling, I give up.” Liam shrugged his shoulders lightly, his tone casual. 

Following the three gavel strikes after, the auction for the Glacier Lake project had finally finished bidding.
