Chapter 52: I Have Plenty of Money!!
"Where do you get that large sum of money?"
From beginning to end, Greta was totally muddled. When she listened to the boisterous discussions of the audience, her whole mind went blank!
She looked at Maxwell dumbfoundedly and hastily said, "Say it quickly if you don't have that large sum of money. I'll call my father to send money over now."
Maxwell smiled and said, "Don't worry, President Greta, I have enough money."
Within minutes, the staff came over and under everyone's gazes, Maxwell directly took out a bank card and made a transaction without hesitation.
A crisp sound sounded. Greta felt that she was struck by lightning when she heard the voice prompt of the transaction of two hundred million yuan... Her exquisite and beautiful face was filled with incredulity... This guy was unexpectedly so rich!
How was this possible! He had to borrow even a few hundred yuan from her as living expenses... How could he have two hundred million yuan!
Greta's exquisite face looked complicated when she gazed at Maxwell. She was speechless!
Not long after the transaction of two hundred million yuan was done, the staff carefully held an exquisite box and walked up to Greta, handing the box in his hand while smiling slightly, "Greta, accept it." Greta opened the box and her eyes widened when she looked at the string of the beautiful crystal necklace lying in the box. She stared at this string of crystal necklace and was amazed for a long time. Seeing Greta's reaction, Harriet who was standing at the side smiled and gently pushed Greta with her arm and said, "Greta, quickly try it."
"No, I don't want," Greta replied, feeling that it was a dream as everything was so unreal.
"Why? It costs him two hundred million yuan to auction it for you." Harriet's eyebrows furrowed. "Yeah, I purposely buy it for you, just receive it," said Maxwell while smiling to please her.
"No, I don't want it." Greta's face looked serious and showed a rarely seen stubbornness.
Maxwell was speechless as he did not expect that Greta would refuse to accept this crystal necklace... He had spent two hundred million yuan to auction this thing, but damned, she said she did not want! She did not cherish his money at all!
"Quickly get someone for refund," Greta said.
"Cannot, Greta. I have already paid and they will definitely not accept the request for a refund, this's a rule, where have you seen auctions that allow refunds?" Maxwell smiled bitterly. "Anyway, I don't want it. You can give it to Harriet, if she doesn't want it, just keep it for yourself." No matter what did Maxwell say, Greta just turned a deaf ear to what he said.
"Yo, isn't this President Greta who's very famous in Ocean City?" All of a sudden, a sarcastic voice came from the side.
Greta looked at the direction the voice came from and saw a middle-aged woman who was dressed luxuriously coupled with gold and pearl jewellery, was walking towards her. Greta slightly frowned. Maxwell who was slightly stunned, asked, "President Greta, you still know this kind of person?"
"Her name is Judy Morris and she's from one of the wealthy and powerful noble families in Ocean City. Her husband is very fond of philandering and is a sugar daddy who has several mistresses outside," Greta lowered her voice and said.
"Mrs. Judy," Greta lightly nodded and greeted her.
"Miss Greta, I never expect that you'll come to such a place. I've often heard that Miss Greta leads an otherworldly realm of lifestyle so I don't expect that you will be interested in such mundane things as well." Judy gazed at the exquisite box that contained the Azure Star. A hint of greed flashed in her eyes.
"Mrs. Judy, if you like it, there will be some decent collections too in the auction later," Greta faintly spoke.
"I think I heard you said you don't want it just now, right? Then why don't you give it to me," Judy said loudly in a voice dripping with sarcasm and this instantly attracted people's attention.
Greta frowned, "Mrs. Judy, this necklace has other uses for me, I'm sorry to reject your request."
Judy sneered, "What can you do with it? If you don't want to give me, I can just buy it. Three million yuan."
On the side, Maxwell's eyes were narrowed. Obviously, Judy was purposely making trouble. Three million yuan was much lower than the initial bid!
Only an idiot would make this deal!
Greta shook her head and her face looked cold, "Mrs. Judy, I won't sell it no matter how much you pay me. It's auctioned off by my driver, you go find him to ask for it."
Finished speaking, Greta turned her body and walked towards the entrance of the auction scene.
But at this moment, Judy smiled icily and said loudly, "Stop pretending, a CEO's driver can have two hundred million yuan? Aren't you the one who actually wants it but you order your driver to buy it for you so that you I will still seem to be otherworldly? It's hilarious that you do bad things but you want to maintain a good reputation."
Greta stopped her pace and slowly turned around, looking at Judy. Her face looked cold and her eyes flashed with unhappiness, "Mrs. Judy, please behave yourself."
"What, did I say anything wrong? I haven't settled with you yet regarding the matter that you seduced my husband last time like a bitch." Judy crossed her hands at the waist and sneered.
Greta gazed at Judy coldly, "Mrs. Judy, please mind your words, it was your husband who tried to sexually harass me. Everyone in the company saw it at that time."
"If you did not dress coquettishly like a vixen, would my husband do that to you?" Judy said while she raised her broad and fat hand to throw a slap at Greta.
Harriet's face turned pale and it was already too late when she wanted to do something for Greta!
The spectators around found it interesting to see President Greta, who was famous in Ocean City being hit by a noblewoman. Indeed, the fight between the two women was much more interesting than men. Of course, many people were even more interested to see how Greta fought with Judy without concerning her image until her hair and clothes looked dishevelled.
Just as Judy's slap was in halfway, out of the blue, a shadow flashed beside Greta and acted like lightning!
A loud slap sounded. The scene that everyone craved to see did not happen. Greta stood in the original position and was all fine. On the other hand, Judy took a few steps backward! Judy covered her cheeks. Her face that was full of makeup was swollen and it turned red!
The crowd observed carefully and saw that there was a red shoe print on Judy's face!
"It's a rarity to see a fat pig to open its mouth and speak human words." Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded and the crowd looked at Maxwell in astonishment. What they saw was that Maxwell was barefoot, holding a leather shoe in his hand and casually picking his ear.
Many dignitaries sucked in a breath of cold air! Wasn't this President Greta's driver?! Before President Greta did anything, her driver already went to hit Judy!
Even though the status of the Morris family was not as glorious as once it was, without Judy Morris' strong background support, Judy's husband would not have such a great achievement today!
The Morris family was a noble, well-known and great family in Ocean City! However, President Greta's driver dared to hit her!
Judy covered her cheeks and stared daggers at Maxwell with her eyes which glowed in extreme fury!
"Bitch couple, how dare you hit me?" Judy shrieked loudly and instantaneously silenced the entire auction scene!
Greta's eyebrows furrowed. Judy was clearly trying to cause trouble to stop the auction from continuing smoothly...
"Yeah, I hit you, is there any problem?" Maxwell faintly spoke while putting on his leather shoes.
"Poor tramp with wretched-looking, let me kill you first!" Judy spoke harshly and abruptly took out a nail clipper from her satchel, trying to stab Maxwell!
"No!" A ghastly whiteness instantly spread over Greta's face!
Maxwell looked calm and when Judy almost reached in front of him, he suddenly stretched out his hands and slammed on Judy's shoulders!
"Bang!"
Judy, who was approximately 100 kg was thrown upside down! She was just like a kite with a broken string! Instantly, everyone was startled when they looked at Judy. The entire scene was having a pin drop silence!
No one would expect that Maxwell, as President Greta's driver, would have such decisive and brave actions!
"Puff!"
Judy spat out a mouthful of blood. A trace of scarlet liquid slowly streamed down her mouth corner. She looked incomparably wretched and did not have her previous arrogant appearance anymore.
"I never hit a woman but President Greta is not a person that you can simply hurt," Maxwell spoke coldly while narrowing his eyes. All of a sudden, his eyes flashed frightening and murderous bolts of lightning. Judy's obese body quivered. She instantly felt a haze of cold fear clouded her. She could feel a premonition of danger!
She was from a wealthy family so she did not need to worry about money. She had not even seen a scary murder scene but her intuition told her that the man in front of her was extremely terrifying and was bound to be an existence that she could never offend!
Maxwell slowly turned around and looked at Greta who was having a dazed-looking. He smiled, reached out his hand and gently held those white and delicate hands and placed the box in Greta's hands, and said softly, "Put it on."
"Put it on?" Greta's sluggish and pale face gradually became normal. She looked at the crystal necklace with hesitation.
"Just put it on, Greta, it originally belongs to you," said Harriet at the side.
Without waiting for Greta to continue thinking, Maxwell suddenly took the crystal necklace out of the box and straight away put it on for Greta.
"This..." By the time Greta did realize it, the Azure Star was already hanging tightly around her neck.
"How do you feel, Greta?" said Maxwell while smiling to please her.
"It's still...okay," Greta spoke hesitantly.
"If not good, I'll take it off then," said Maxwell who reached out his hands towards Greta's neck.
"Don't take it off!" Greta glared at Maxwell, causing Maxwell's hands to shrink back.
"Greta, I think it really suits you," Harriet praised.
Greta lowered her head and took a glance at the crystal-clear sapphire. Under the light, Greta could roughly see the wide and deep sea hiding inside the sapphire. It was a picturesque view. After putting on the Azure Star, Greta realized many gazes were green with envy. Greta, who was the top beauty in the business world, was the only one who was eligible to own this superb collection!
The Azure Star indeed suited Greta nicely. The moment it was put on by her, it made Greta looked even more charming and gorgeous. Her action was all filled with noble gentleness. Maxwell's lips curled slightly. The effect of Greta's snow-white chest coupled with the crystal-clear sapphire made her became the most eye-catching existence! "Thank you," Greta looked up, raised her exquisite and pretty face to look at Maxwell and said.
"Let's go." Maxwell held Greta's slender hand. His action looked so elegant and if he was wearing a tuxedo at this moment, he would definitely look like a gentleman! And next to him, Greta was also like a stunning queen who had conquered and defeated many of the celebrities there!
Everyone was going crazy! Who was willing to believe that President Greta's driver could have physical contact with President Greta! The two of them were so close!
Many people had failed to engage with Greta but unexpectedly, President Greta's driver who had the greatest advantage of being close to her won goddess's admiration who was adored by countless people!
It was not fair! If they knew that two hundred million yuan could win the goddess's heart, they would definitely do whatever they could do! Even if it was three hundred million yuan or four hundred million yuan!
From afar, Young Master Sandoval gazed at Maxwell and Greta. His eyes sparkled with anger.
His hands were trembling slightly. He could not accept that he was defeated by a CEO's driver!!
What a big shame! He totally could not accept that his inner pride was being trampled upon once again!
"Greta, Maxwell... You guys force me to do so...!" Young Master Sandoval slowly made a sound while his eyes were flashing ghastly...
In the meantime of deep night, the road was brightly lit and the Maybach was speeding on the road. Maxwell had to be the driver and he could only look at the two beauties through the rear-view mirror to satiate himself.
Greta and Harriet sat in the back seat. The interior space of the car was filled with a faint fragrance that was mixed by two perfumes. This caused Maxwell to sniff several times.
From the moment the two beauties got into the car, they kept silent.
"Where did you get such a large sum of money?" Finally, Greta was the first to break the silence. Her beautiful eyes cast a cold ray like a sharp blade that pierced through the void as if she wanted to know Maxwell's every secret!☐☐☐☐☐☐
