Chapter 289 Malicious Bidding
As long as Evelyn showed that she liked it, he would immediately raise the board and buy it.
The Thomas Group made a healthy profit on real estate and building materials. It was a leading enterprise in the two industries, so it was very wealthy.
As the only child of the president of the Thomas Group, Moore was naturally not short of money.
When chasing after girls, he didn't care about how much money he had to spend. As long as the girl was happy, he was always generous.
But he met Marty that day.
Every time he wanted to buy something, Marty would go against him and raise the price.
At first, he could bear it, but later he found that the price was raising crazy.
As if the price was just a number, not money.
Moore was rich, but he couldn't spend money like this.
A bracelet was only worth half a million dollars, but Marty offered 30 million dollars for it.
If he didn't know that it was Marty, the famous playboy in Flaucford, he would suspect that he was deliberately trying to blackmail him.
Evelyn sensed that something was wrong. She looked back at Marty who was sitting there arrogantly and glared at him. Then she turned to persuade Moore.
"Mr. Thomas, forget it, If Mr. Blaine likes it, let him buy it! We can buy other lots."
But she didn't know that men would always flaunt their superiority when facing their beloved women.
Moreover, Moore had vaguely noticed that Marty had been going against him just because of Evelyn who was sitting beside him.
After all, although he didn't sit together with Marty, he was sitting directly in front of Marty, and he had no way to ignore Marty's hostile eyes.
Being goaded by Marty, Moore thought that he must win in this competition, so he didn't listen to Evelyn and immediately upped his offer.
If he gave up at this time, it was equivalent to admitting that he had lost to Marty.
For men, as long as they had the ability to compete, they would not give up.
After all, in their eyes, what they bought was not a bracelet at this time, but the dignity of a man.
Unexpectedly, after he upped his offer, Marty gave up directly.
Moore was immediately stunned.
What the hell was going on?
As the son of the Blaine family, how could he be defeated by only 350 million dollars?
Moore turned his head in astonishment and looked at Marty, only to see that Marty was looking at him with a sneer and mouthed a word.
"Fool!"
Moore was speechless.
Seeing this, Evelyn's face suddenly changed.
Even a fool could tell at this moment that Marty was playing tricks on Moore on purpose!
She whispered to Moore, "Mr. Thomas, this bracelet is too expensive. It is obviously a malicious bidding. How about giving it up?"
Moore smiled reluctantly.
"It's okay. You like it, don't you? As long as you are happy. It's just a small sum of money and you don't have to care about it."
Although he felt that it was not worthwhile to buy a bracelet in this price, he could never say it.
After all, compared with losing face, tens of millions dollars was less important.
Evelyn bit her lip.
She frowned and hesitated for a while before she said again, "Mr. Blaine and I were old acquaintances. He must have misunderstood the relationship between us, so he deliberately aimed at you. How about me explaining to him? "
She actually didn't want Marty and Moore to quarrel with each other because of her.
Moore turned his head and glanced at her.
A chuckle appeared on his handsome face.
"No. There is finally a chance to make people misunderstand our relationship, and I am so happy. How can I let you explain?"
Evelyn was taken aback.
Moore quickly smiled and said, "I was just kidding. Don't mind."
Evelyn forced a smile, but she was a little angry with Marty in heart.
Upon seeing this, Moore patted the back of her hand lightly.
"Don't take it to heart. We come out to play for fun. If he bids maliciously with me again, I won't up my offer anymore."
Evelyn was relieved and nodded.
Clarissa watched the whole process and laughed, "Oh, Marty, why are you so jeslous?"
Marty's expression changed, and he said madly, "Nonsense! I'm not jealous. Who does she think she is? I don't even know her. Why should I be jealous because of her?"
"Tut, but you saved her in a hurry last time and clarified for her. Seeing her being flattered by another man, you even competed with him maliciously. If you're not jealous, why is the air even full of jealousy?"
Hearing what she said, Marty felt a little embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice after a long while, "Clarissa, you're too imaginative. I just want to earn more money from this auction. What does it have to do with jealousy?"
"Besides, I helped her last time just because she is an actress of your company. You not only thank me, but also tease me here. How can you treat me like this?"
He was annoyed but he had to suppress his anger. Seeing this, Clarissa couldn't hide her amusement.
"Well, since you said so, I will accept your kindness. After the auction is over, I will inquire about the relationship between her and Mr. Thomas, and I will tell you the result."
Marty was speechless.
Next to them, Aidan was also amused.
But compared with Marty, he seemed much more stable.
"If I remember correctly when we were young, was there a lieutenant in our neighborhood surnamed Hussain? He had a daughter who always played with Mar."
Hearing this, Clarissa knew that there was a story and quickly moved closer to listen.
Marty's face suddenly changed as he glared at Aidan and threatened him, "Don't say that!"
Marty smiled, "It's not a secret. Anderson also knows it. Even if I don't say it now, he will tell Clarissa when he goes back."
After a pause, he said, "Besides, didn't you say that you don't like her? Why are you so nervous now?"
Aidan suddenly had nothing to say.
Anderson said slowly at this time, "Yeah, I remember there was a lieutenant. The name of his daughter seemed to be Evelyn, too. Our family moved out of the neighborhood first, so I can't remember it clearly. But if I remember correctly, the Blaine family moved out at the latest, and the lieutenant was the subordinate of Grandpa Blaine. It is normal that Marty had a good relationship with her."
The reason why the Jordan family, the Holland family, the Levine family, and the Blaine family were called the four big families was not only that they were very powerful and rich. There was of great influence in Ascijan.
Their ancestors made great contributions in wars, so many of their generations worked in the army.
They didn't go into business until these two generations.
