Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian)

Chapter 30 Benjamin Vs. Julian

Benjamin did not join the bid.

Julian and Madeline did not bid as well.

Madeline leaned back lazily, while Julian tapped his slender fingers on the table.

"Ms. Tuffin, this perfume seems to be from your favorite series?" Annalise asked Madeline.

"It's not bad," Madeline replied.

"I'll buy it for you!" Annalise immediately said.

Instantaneously, Madeline's eyes were full of smiles. "Okay!"

Her apprentice wanted to buy a present for her. Of course, she would not stop her.

Not to mention that she could show it off to the other old fogeys.

Annalise immediately started bidding.

Yvonne was a very famous perfumer. Her perfume was very common in Chanaea, but the limited edition perfume she launched every year was extremely difficult to buy. Only noblewomen and socialites would have one or two bottles.

Therefore, many people felt proud to have a bottle of Yvonne's limited edition perfume.

Of course, the fragrance of her perfume was indeed very light and elegant, very suitable for women.

In the blink of an eye, the bid price for the perfume had gone up to 26.3 thousand dollars.

Noticing that number 140 had joined the bid, Benjamin immediately started bidding as well.

Moments ago, he looked at the number plate in front of Annalise's desk on purpose and knew that she had the number 140.

He guessed that once the bidding price was high, she definitely could not afford the perfume. He believed that if he bought it for her, she would be moved by the fact that he gave her a perfume worth ten of thousands of dollars.

As he was thinking about that, number 141 joined the bidding.

Number 141 was Julian, who was sitting on the right side of Annalise.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes unhappily, and then a mocking smile spread across his face. "Since this man is overconfident and wants to get humiliated, I'll make his wish come true. It's just the right time for me to take revenge for the humiliation I suffered that night. How could a person who doesn't even have the qualifications to sit in the front row be richer than me?" he pondered.

As soon as he bid 28.5 thousand dollars, he saw number 139 bid 45 thousand dollars on the big screen.

Benjamin subconsciously furrowed his brows as he mused, "Isn't number 139 the noblewoman next to Annalise? It seems like she's a new nouveau riche. The bidding price of the perfume was only 28.5 thousand dollars, but she directly jumped to 45 thousand dollars."

With a snort, he bid 52.5 thousand dollars to throw everyone out of the race at once.

After all, Yvonne's limited-edition perfume was only worth 15 to 20 thousand dollars per bottle.

As expected, once the bid reached 52.5 thousand dollars, there was basically no bidder anymore.

One of the reasons was that the price was too high, and another reason was that everyone wanted to show respect to the Quigley family. After all, Quigley Group was the number one company in Horington. Julian's disrespect was highlighted by others who were respectful of Benjamin because he kept bidding and called 60 thousand dollars.

Nevertheless, Benjamin snickered and bid 75 thousand dollars calmly.

He was representing the Quigley family at the charity gala, and his family had planned to donate 45 million dollars. He couldn't care less about 75 thousand dollars.

Moments later, Julian calmly bid 102 thousand dollars.

The crowd gasped in shock, and many people whispered, "Hey, who's that man with the number 141? He's so

handsome. I've never seen him before."

"Is he Annalise's new boyfriend?"

"Where did she find such a man? He's not a fake rich man, is he?"

"I don't think so. How would a fake rich man dare to make such an offer?"

"That's why it seems like a fake bid. Those who're really bidding will increase the bid slowly. Maybe it was Annalise who deliberately asked him to bid like this and wanted to humiliate Benjamin."

"It's really possible. However, it would be foolish for her to think that way. She's just a woman who grew up in the countryside. Even if her mother left her some equity, Moonlight Group's CEO now is her uncle. How much pocket money can she get in a year? I think she only has 150 thousand dollars at most. If she couldn't even bid for a bottle of perfume, she'd be making a fool out of herself."

"Tsk. What a poor thing. Her company has already been snatched away by her relatives, and her boyfriend has been stolen away as well. She must be furious and want to turn the tables, but in truth, she doesn't have the power to do that."

Listening to those murmurs, Benjamin could not help but raise the corners of his lips.

The fact that Annalise was angry meant that she still cared about him. After he got his hands on the perfume, she would treat him like she used to, as long as he apologized properly.

If he could help her get Moonlight Group back, they could form a strong alliance.

Thinking about that, he bid 148.5 thousand dollars directly.

He had already thought of an excuse. After successfully bidding for the perfume, he would give it to her and tell her that the reason he offered so much money was to hope that their love would last for a long time After all, every woman liked to hear sweet nothings.

Looking at the 148.5 thousand dollars on the big screen, Julian raised his eyebrows slightly and called out 298.5 thousand dollars.

"Wow!"

"Oh my god!"

"Is he really the heir of a wealthy family?"

When Madeline saw that Julian had been bidding with Benjamin, her impression of him had gotten better. She complimented him across the table with a smile on her face, "Mr. Parks, what a boss. Good job!" Julian nodded and smiled at Madeline.

He used to dislike people calling him "boss" because it gave him a feeling that he was a nouveau riche, but if it was someone related to Annalise who called him that, he felt it was okay.

Benjamin turned his head and gave Julian a provocative look, bidding 432 thousand dollars.

However, Julian did not even knit his brows and bid 882 thousand dollars.

At that moment, Julian's phone rang. It was a message from Tony: "Are you crazy? Why are you spending 882 thousand dollars on a bottle of perfume?"

Julian replied: "I'm happy to spend money!"

Tony: "Stop right now!"

Julian: "Did I spend your money?"

Tony: "I'm your father!" Behind it was a furious emoticon.

Julian: "Did you listen to your father when he told you not to look for a mistress outside?"

In response, Tony sent a voice message, roaring. "Julian, you're an asshole!"

Hearing that, Julian snorted coldly.

Just then, the amount of Benjamin's bid on the big screen had reached 1.03 million dollars. The auctioneer on the stage raised the hammer excitedly and shouted, "1.03 million dollars, going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to bid? 1.03 million dollars, going thrice-"

Just as he was about to slam the hammer, Julian called 1.33 million dollars.

He had increased the bid by 300 thousand dollars at once.

Benjamin frowned deeply and thought, 'Forget it. I don't want to be a simpleton. There's still a lot of good stuff behind this."

The auctioneer held the microphone and encouraged, "It's 1,33 million dollars now. Does anyone else want to bid? Ladies and gentlemen, this perfume is a limited edition by Yvonne Fuller. It's priceless. If you really like it, don't worry about the price. After all, everyone is here to do charity tonight."

Seeing that no one else joined the bid, he held the hammer and shouted, "1.33 million dollars, going once!"

Then, he looked at Benjamin, waiting for the latter to make an offer.

Nevertheless, Benjamin was unmoved, so the auctioneer shouted for the second and third time and slammed the hammer.

"Wow!"

Many of the girls at the scene looked toward Julian.

Madeline also took a quick look at him to determine if he had joined the bid to vent his rage on behalf of Annalise or if it was simply because he liked the perfume.
