Chapter 183 He’s Back

The manager at the auction house was momentarily at a loss for words. Despite years in the trade, this was a situation he’d never encountered.

Even if Beth hadn’t said that, it was evident that she had withdrawn her desire to sell the item.

But what could they do even if they knew what she was du

The item was already damaged, and her reasoning sounded just.

Maggie fixed her gaze on Beth, clearly unwilling to drop the issue. She hadn’t prevented Beth from calling in auction experts to inspect the goods.

However, she could still insist that the auction house demand an explanation from the Brays.

“Ms. Bray, it appears that you have forgotten that although you consigned this manuscript, the determination of its condition falls to the auction house experts. If everyone were to employ tactics like yours, what would become of the auction house’s reputation?” Maggie succinctly hit the nail on the head.

The manager snapped out of his reverie and gave Beth a displeased look. “Ms. Bray, Ms. Adam is right. Destroying a sold item publicly goes against the rules.”

Beth responded bluntly. “To the best of my knowledge, there’s no such rule at the auction house. Besides, I spilled wine accidentally. Ms. Adam, If you don’t mind, you can keep the manuscript. After all, I was just trying to compensate you fairly and mitigate your loss….

Within a few minutes, Beth changed her stance once again.

Despite everyone knowing the truth, she insisted it was an accident, leaving the manager speechless.

“Ms. Bray, I will report this matter truthfully to the management,” the manager said with a serious tone.

Beth smiled indifferently. “As you should, but you should know that my uncle serves on the auction house’s board, so I’m more familiar with the rules here than you are. I admit to accidentally damaging the item. Of course, if you’re not satisfied, Ms. Adam, I can offer further compensation….

With this statement, she made it clear to Maggie that the auction house wouldn’t take pupitive action against her.
