Chapter 859 Having Ulterior Motive
But now, it was presented by the Marsh Family?
How... how could this be possible?
Upon receiving the news, both of them were shocked.
After all, there was no trace of the Marsh Family's involvement in the dispute, so no one would think that the piece of pendant ultimately ended up in their hands.
On the surface, it seemed that the dispute was provoked by the traitors of the Salvation Club, but in fact, the Marsh family were the one who was behind it?
No, that was impossible!
Jara and Luca had always been very close. At that time, there was no competition in their businesses as well, so the relationship between them was even closer.
If the Marsh Family really did interfere, Jara must have noticed it.
But if they were really not behind the dispute back then, and that object had not fallen into their hands, was it possible that there was a second piece of Jade of Heaven in this world?
The sudden thought made Emmeline feel a chill down her spine.
Turning around, she looked at Jara, whose face was gloomy as well.
Meanwhile, Isaac noticed that there was something off with the two of them, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have such a big reaction?"
Hearing that, Emmeline shook her head. "It's nothing."
After a pause, she said, "Go on."
"Okay."
As Isaac did not know what the two of them were thinking, he could only look at them in confusion and continue.
"When he came to us and wanted to book the place, he requested to not reveal their identities. Since our family is doing business, we don't care about his identity as long as he pays. Hence, we agreed."
"But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it's strange. Most sponsors who organized an auction would definitely want to reveal their names as it is a symbol of the family's power and fame, But why is the Marsh Family unwilling to reveal their identity? Is there something fishy going on in this auction? Or, on the surface, they were organizing an auction to share the treasures, but in truth, they have an ulterior motive?"
It had to be said that although Isaac did not know the truth, his analysis made a lot of sense.
This could probably be described as hitting a jackpot amidst the chaos.
However, Emmeline and Jara clearly knew why the Marsh family was not willing to make it public. It was definitely not because of some tricks.
It was because they didn't want others to know that this piece of jade pendant was presented by them.
As was known to all, the Jade of Heaven had the function of bringing the dead back to life. Although they did not know whether it was true or not, it had been crazily rumoured and almost concluded its function.
Even if ordinary people doubted the authenticity of this rumor, they still wished to be immortal. Who wouldn't want to possess a treasure that could bring the dead back to life?
This temptation was too intense. From ancient times to modern times, even an emperor could not escape this temptation, let alone a normal human being.
Therefore, even though everyone was suspicious of the rumor, it didn't stop them from chasing after it.
Everyone wanted to fight for it. Even if they only had a slim chance, they still wanted to test it to see if it was truly as magical and effective as the rumors said.
It was no doubt that the Marsh family had made a good move.
They seemed to have found a man's biggest weakness. With just a lift of the hand, they were able to create a storm.
Upon Emmeline's realization, her heart sank.
On the other hand, Jara wasn't much better off. His brows had been knitted tightly together, but deep down, he was thinking about the intentions of the Marsh Family.
Logically speaking, this family had kept a low profile for so many years, and they never liked to show off.
Since the family was already at the peak of its power and influence, they would not have played the move just for fame and wealth.
So what were they actually planning?
The same confusion had been haunting Emmeline's mind.
The Marsh family had put so much effort into messing up with the situation. What benefit would they get from this?
That being said, back then, the Lost Vanguard and the Salvation Club were severely injured, and later on, the Lost Vanguard had fallen apart. If the Marsh family was really behind this, somehow they did not come forward to take over their territories nor claim their victory.
Why?
The two of them could not figure it out.
On the other hand, Isaac didn't think too much. He was not a member of this circle. Although the Burke family was very powerful in the local area, it was limited to doing business.
Therefore, seeing that their eyebrows were knitted, Isaac joked, "Are you frightened by what I said? Hahaha, don't mind me. I'm just talking nonsense. How can there be so many conspiracy theories? Maybe they just like to keep a low profile."
Esme also noticed that the two were acting strange, and a girl's mind was always more attentive than a boy's.
Hence, she asked with concern, "Mr. Holland, Emmeline, is there anything happening?"
Looing up at her, Emmeline shook her head.
"It's okay, it's just like what Isaac said. We really thought that there was a conspiracy, and it was strange."
After all, the matter had nothing to do with them.
If it wasn't necessary, it was best if they didn't know.
After all, if the Marsh family was the one behind this, then they were incredibly dangerous. The Mills had always been doing business and refused to be tainted by any darkness in the circle. Therefore, it would be better not to drag them into the scene.
In the meantime, Jara was probably thinking about the same thing, so he directly changed the topic.
"I heard that Mr. Mills had allowed you to take over the position as the president of Mills Group a few days ago."
As soon as this was mentioned, Isaac nodded quickly. "Yes, my cousins were not happy about it. They were unhappy that I became the successor of the company just because I am my father's son. Furthermore, I am the youngest in the family. But I proved myself to them, and as a result, they were all convinced."
Upon hearing that, Jara smiled, picking up his glass and clinking it with Issac's. "Congratulations."
Isaac was also proud of himself. After all, although the chairman of Mills group was his father, everyone put the effort into establishing the company.
Hence, he always knew that his cousins would not be convinced of him and felt that he was incapable. They thought that he was only in luck that he was born into the position of a successor.
However, he did work really hard. He was totally different from those rich kids they had expected. So of course, Isaac was happy to see that he could make such a great comeback this time.
With that, Isaac and Jara clinked glasses.
At that moment, the staff came over and led Jara to sign the paper.
The golden silk soft armor that he bought in the first session of the auction had been wrapped. As soon as they had his signature and the transaction of the money, Jara was free to take the item.
After Jara signed his name, they quickly handed him the item.
Jara wasn't worried that these people would do anything to the item, so he had them hand over the armor to Quan directly, who was guarding outside.
Those people took the order and left.
