Chapter 890
Melody Fox ignored the discussions of the people around her and reported the number she wanted to report from the beginning. “40 million dollars.”
40 million dollars!
This time, even the host was not so calm.
This was not the first time he had hosted an auction, but the price of 40 million dollars was still very low. This was the second time in his career that he had heard someone bid “40 million dollars”.
Mrs. Taylor also turned to look at where Melody Fox was sitting.
The look in her eyes was clearly not kind or happy.
The reason for this was because Chairman Lou originally wanted to use this opportunity to raise the price of the Green Velvet medicine to 16 million dollars so that they could make a lot of money at the next auction.
But Melody Fox’s “40 million dollars” caught them off guard. After all, if the price was too high, it would affect the next auction of 46,467,775,907. This effect was obviously negative. It might even attract the attention of market regulations and negative public opinion.
Melody Fox also knew this very well, but she had made a wasted trip. She could not let these people do as they wished, right?
She was happy to see that she could give them some trouble.
When Mrs. Taylor saw Melody Fox’s appearance, the displeasure in her eyes directly escalated into disgust. She turned her head back coldly.
After Melody Fox saw Mrs. Taylor transfer back, Jian Huan whispered something into Mrs. Taylor’s ear.
The next second, Mrs. Taylor stood up and said, “Miss, 40 million dollars, in order to prevent malicious bidding, our 464,677,5905 auctions have always had an unwritten rule.
That is to verify the liquidity in the hands of the bidder.”
In other words, if Melody Fox could not produce 40 million dollars, it would be judged as a “malicious bid” and would be directly blacklisted by the Taylor auction.
It would also affect her participation in other auctions in the future.
It seemed that Jian Huan felt that it was impossible for her to have 40 million dollars…
In fact, that was what Jian Huan thought.
Although Melody Fox was married to Ken Swanson, she was still an unknown country bumpkin.
It was impossible for Ken Swanson to transfer such a large sum of money to Melody Fox after marriage.
Soon, this annoying bitch would be chased out of the auction venue.
She turned her head and looked at Melody Fox leisurely. There was a faint and imperceptible sneer at the corner of her mouth.
Melody Fox guessed what Jian Huan was thinking. He raised his eyebrows calmly and said, “Since we’re here, we naturally have to abide by your rules. Check!”
She took out a golden bank card. Immediately, a servant walked forward and brought the card backstage to verify it. They had a special machine backstage that could check the balance.
After the attendant brought the card backstage, the guests’ gazes were filled with suspicion as they looked at Melody Fox.
She was as still as a mountain, and her expression was even calmer than before.
It was this calmness that gradually dispelled the doubts of those who had originally suspected that Melody Fox was here to bid maliciously.
Jian Huan looked back again and sneered in her heart. Pretentious!
Some people just wouldn’t shed a tear until they saw the coffin.
She really did not believe that even if Ken Swanson had made a mistake and really liked this ugly monster, he would not lose his mind and give Melody Fox so much money to spend.
After all, she had heard from Janet Murphy that Ken Swanson’s IQ was much higher than ordinary people’s.
It was not easy for someone with a high IQ to fall in love. Finally, under Jian Huan’s anticipation, the attendant from before walked out of the backstage with a bank card. “How’s that?”
Mrs. Taylor couldn’t wait to ask.
If the other party really had 40 million dollars, she had undoubtedly offended a big client.
He hoped that it was really as Jian Huan had said. The other party was bidding maliciously.
However, in the next second, the attendant’s words slapped her hard in the face.
“Mrs. Taylor, This lady… is not bidding maliciously.”
In other words, she really had that much money on her card!
Mrs. Taylor’s face turned pale, and then hatred flashed across her eyes.
Damn, Jian Huan!
They had already broken the fairness of the auction for Jian Huan and had internally decided to give her the Green Velvet medicine. In the end, she still treated them like this! However, Jian Huan’s expression was not any better.
She couldn’t help but confirm, “Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”
The attendant looked confident. “I didn’t see wrongly.” This time, even Jian Huan, who was good at disguising himself, could not hold back his expression.
How could this be? Was Ken Swanson really a love brain? Damn it!!!
She looked at Madam Lou awkwardly.
“Mrs. Taylor, I…”
However, Madam Lou acted as if she did not hear her. She said to the attendant, “Return the card to that lady.”
After saying that, Mrs. Taylor apologized to Melody Fox with an apologetic expression. “I’m really sorry, Miss. I remember that you even took a thumb ring, right? How about this? I’ll pay for that thumb ring for you later. Take it as my apology for what happened just now.”
Melody Fox raised an eyebrow.
This Mrs. Taylor was quite good at being human.
Why wouldn’t she want something that came knocking on her door?
Melody Fox smiled and thanked him. “Then I’ll thank Mrs. Taylor.”
Mrs. Taylor returned a smile, but her heart ached terribly. 6200 thousand dollars was not a small expenditure even for the Taylor’s!
As the only person other than Chairman Lou Taylor who had personally seen how difficult the production of the Green Velvet medicine was, she knew very well that it was not easy for her husband to earn money.
She glanced sideways and indeed saw the anger on Chairman Lou’s face.
Madam Lou lowered her head guiltily, but she was even more dissatisfied with Jian Huan in her heart.
It was all the Murphy family’s fault. If it weren’t for their family, this wouldn’t have happened at all tonight. They wouldn’t be in such a hurry to sell the Green Velvet medicine’s only remaining in their family!
Jian Huan saw this and felt vexed.
How could she have known that the country sl*t really had that much money?
However, on second thought, Jian Huan thought that perhaps Ken Swanson had given Melody Fox so much money that she could film the medicine on his behalf.
Otherwise, how could Melody Fox have so much money? That must be it!
However, no matter how much money she had, the Green Velvet medicine would only belong to her in the end!
Thinking of this, Jian Huan’s bad mood turned a little gloomier.
“There was a small interlude just now. The auction will continue now.” The host held the microphone tightly and asked, “Miss Number 32 raised her card 40 million dollars just now. Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?”
Jian Huan took a deep breath and raised her sign to bid again. “40 million dollars6 million dollars!”
The host nodded. “40 million dollars6 million dollars. Does anyone else want to continue bidding?”
Although he was asking everyone, his gaze was only fixed on Melody Fox.
The corners of Melody Fox’s lips twitched slightly as he placed the sign down.
Seeing this, the host was a little disappointed.
He thought that it would continue, but it ended just like that.
The other onlookers also revealed disappointed expressions.
“40 million dollars6 million dollars once…*
“40 million dollars6 million dollars twice…”
“40 million dollars6 million dollars… Sold!”
When the hammer fell, it meant to everyone in the auction that the the Green Velvet medicine was for Jian Huan.
Jian Huan pursed her lips smugly and turned to look at Melody Fox.
