Chapter 3288
Everyone exchanged dubious looks, but no one responded.
They noticed that Jordan's bid was deliberately targeting Darryl.
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Darryl. They were ready to see Darryl
making a fool of himself.
"Ugh!”
Jordan looked at Darryl with a deriding smile. "You’re a live-in son-in-law; do you
have the money to bid? If you don't have enough, ask your wife quickly." He
laughed.
Darryl ignored him. He breathed a long sigh and shouted, "I'll go for 10,000 gold
coins!"
No matter what, he had to get the piece of jade.
’What?’
There were exclamations from the surrounding area. Everyone was stunned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey thought the piece of jade was not worth more than 500 gold coins, yet the live-in
son-in-law would fork out 10,000 gold coins for it. The highest price for the most valuable
items in the past was only 8,000 gold coins, yet Darryl was offering 10,000 gold coins for
an ordinary piece of jade!
'Are you crazy?'
At the same time, Lolita, who was sitting next to Darryl, trembled, she asked, "Darryl, are
you crazy? Where would you find 10,000 gold coins? Besides, what's so special about that
piece of jade?"
Darryl smiled faintly. "I can understand the words on it!"
'What?'
Darryl's reply threw Lolita in shock.
'Did he say he can read the words on the jade?'
Jordan laughed. He sneered at Darryl. "How interesting! An ordinary piece of jade has
become a piece of treasure in the eyes of a live-in son-in-law!"
"How good it is to have your wife pay 10,000 gold coins for a piece of jade."
After the sarcastic comment, Jordan waved his hand. " Since he would pay 10,000 gold
coins for it, I don't want it then!"
Jordan was pleased with himself when he made the announcement. He had never
intended to bid for the jade. He was just trying to raise the price. After his goal was
achieved, he did not need to proceed with more bids.
Everyone was scoffing when they looked at Darryl as if they had seen someone who was
being taken advantage of.
"Everyone!"
The man presiding over the auction shouted excitedly on the stage. "That gentleman bids
10,000 gold coins. Is there anyone else with a higher price?"
Then, the crowd booed. They were getting impatient.
"Okay, let's hit the hammer quickly!"
"That's right. No one will offer a higher price. Let's not waste time!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJordan chimed in, "Hurry up and sell it to that live-in son-in-law. Who else would so
foolishly spend money on such a useless thing?"
The people roared with laughter.
Darryl just pretended that he could not hear the jeering and laughter around him.
His eyes were fixated on the piece of jade, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief
in his heart.
'F*ck! Finally, I got it!'
Then, the man presiding over the auction ordered for the piece of jade to be
wrapped up properly, and then he proceeded to the next item.
Jordan was yelling disparaging remarks at Darryl. " Hey, live-in son-in-law, you're
quite ballsy. I can't believe that you just spent 10,000 gold coins, but are you able to
fork out so many gold coins? why don't you beg me? Maybe I can lend you some!"
Darryl stared at Jordan quietly and said flatly, "Thank you for your kindness. I don't
need your money!"
Jordan sneered at him and stopped talking.
Then, the anxious Lolita asked, "Darryl, where would you get the 10,000 gold coins?"
