The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

These three times of following the price all went smoothly and efficiently.

Especially this last time, instead of adding 100,000, she just went straight to 1.5 million, showing her determination to win.

“What happened, didn’t 823 know who she was bidding against? So stubborn.”

“How could he not know? That Serena was the woman Jeremiah brought. The host of this dinner was the Conway Group. How could Jeremiah not know?”

“That’s true, so what were they doing now?”

“Who knew, even though it was Maxwell’s girl holding the sign, 823 still slapped Maxwell in the face!”

“This Tanzanite was worth a million. From what I figured, it wasn’t worth it if it went over 1.2 million. Now it jumped straight to 1.5 million. Was there some kind of connection behind this?”

“Not sure, do you guys think 888 would go up again?”

“If it was Maxwell, he definitely would have bought more, since his fortune was here, but this time it was Roxanne who bought in, so I didn’t get it.”

“Maxwell wasn’t afraid of losing face?”

“You just didn’t get it. You could go forward or back. If you kept adding, you’d be tough to the end. If you backed off, you could say the

other person had something urgent, and giving it up would make you look generous.”

“Could you do it like this?”

“Why not? Everyone there knew Maxwell could totally tough it out. If he didn’t join in, no one would’ve doubted his wealth–instead, they’d think he was generous.”

“But I still felt like it was a slap in the face, couldn’t even get a million- dollar Tanzanite…”

“Yeah, he could’ve just filmed it and sent it to them, that way everything would’ve been complete.”

“Witty, it had to be you!”

People at the scene all said different things.

But nobody was sure, so they all looked up at the second floor.

Second floor, everyone was in their own seat, and it looked like nothing had changed, but underneath, there was a lot going on.

Stephanie looked at Jeremiah and asked worriedly, “Will this affect you?”

Jeremiah laughed, “You took a picture with your own license plate, what’s that got to do with me, Jeremiah?”

Stephanie smiled and glanced at the table next to her.

That’s right, there were two bidding license plates here.

One was Serena’s, one was Jeremiah’s.

They were both invited, so they both had number tags.

Just going head–to–head with Maxwell like this still had quite a bit of impact.

“Don’t worry.” Jeremiah saw Stephanie’s concern and said, “I can handle this little thing.”

At the end, he added, “Go ahead and shoot, I’ve got the money.”

Stephanie looked at Jeremiah and said softly, “Thank you.”

What she was worried about wasn’t the money, but whether Maxwell would get involved.

From what it looked like, everything was just Roxanne’s personal preference.

As for Roxanne, she was kind of stuck here, not really moving forward or back.

She wanted to go after that 1.5 million, but she felt bad about it, and she didn’t know if the other side would keep raising the price.

If we didn’t go after them, it would slap her and Maxwell in the face.

While she was hesitating, Maxwell tapped the table with his finger.

“Follow.” He said simply.

But Roxanne didn’t act right away. She just looked at him sadly and said, “Max, it’s really not necessary, it’s already more than it’s worth.”

“And also…” she said a little embarrassed, “I didn’t have that much money left.”

Maxwell just calmly glanced at the Tanzanite below.

He thought it should have belonged to him.
