The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 83

Chapter83

“Maxwell made a move, he came out, look!”

Maxwell stood by the railing and raised his right hand, then everyone saw his ring finger and pinky on that hand curl in, making a gun shape.

Unlimited bidding!

It meant that no matter how much others offered, he would follow.

He was determined to win!

The whole place went crazy.

The auctioneer’s excited voice filled the whole villa: “Unlimited bidding! Bidder 888 engaged in unlimited bidding! Let’s give him a round of applause!”

“Clap clap clap…”

The warm applause almost blew the roof off.

The auction was getting really intense!

If before people were just whispering, now everyone was totally relaxed and started talking loudly:

“My god, unlimited bidding, how long has it been since we last saw that in the auction house?”

“Yeah, the last time was that big piece a year ago. People kept raising the price, and then a mysterious bidder showed up, engaged in unlimited bidding, and it sold for 12 billion!”

“The last time was three years ago, that artist’s painting, a mysterious bidder also engaged in unlimited bidding, and it finally sold for 7

billion!”

“Also before, in Pauwia, a world–famous modern art symbolic sculpture was bought by a mysterious bidder for 7 billion.”

While everyone was talking loudly, some people were also confused-

“You guys said so much, I still didn’t know what unlimited bidding was about, could you explain it to me?”

Someone immediately explained to him, “It’s the gesture Maxwell does now, meaning he wants that Tanzanite. No matter how much others bid, he’ll outbid them.”

The guy wondered again, “Can anyone do it? What if we can’t get the money in the end? Wouldn’t that just make the bidding pointless?”

“The auction house had its own rules, the Conway family was in this business, they knew what they were doing, anyway, I heard before that someone engaged in unlimited bidding but couldn’t pay, and it ended badly.”

“We were invited to this one, and basically everyone from the Conway Group was there, you know, and other small auctions would still have a capital verification step.”

The man nodded. “You’re right.”

“But we didn’t have to worry about the capital verification thing anymore, that was Maxwell!”

Yeah, that was Maxwell.

The only one in charge of the Humphrey family, the top of Haraville’s three giants, Maxwell!

The lights went dim, then suddenly brightened. Special effects swept across like a dragon, lighting up the whole place with brilliant colors.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, a lot of people saw that the area, which had been quiet because the villa was closed, suddenly had a bunch of drones rising up.

These drones, with all kinds of lights, circled over the villa and finally formed a huge burning palace lantern shape.

“What happened? What was this for?”

“I don’t know, what happened?”

“Hurry up and find out, there must’ve been something going on in there!”

There was a screen in the villa where you could see what was

happening outside, and right now, things were buzzing both inside and outside the villa.

Suddenly, someone asked, “Did Maxwell ever do this at the auctions he went to before?”

“Don’t say that, it really did happen.”

“Huh? Never really heard of it, what did they film?”

The man remembered, and finally, he spoke after thinking for a while: “Actually, I’m not really sure. That was seven years ago.”

“Seven years ago?” The person asking looked a bit confused, “Wasn’t he still a kid back then?”

The person answering nodded, “Yeah, still young, and the stuff they filmed was weird too.”

The person asking got even more curious: “What is it?”

The person answering looked conflicted: “A document.”

“There was this kind of competing product too?”

“Well, I wasn’t sure what exactly it was. That auction wasn’t public, and very few people knew about it. I just found out by chance, and I only knew a little bit.”

Second floor.

Roxanne looked at Maxwell standing not far away, and her heart was pounding.
