Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 141

The bid of $10 million sent waves of exhilaration through the auction house.

On the stage, Ballaster finally turned his attention to the source of the bid. Upon seeing the bidder, Ballaster froze

Mr. Watkins?

What on earth was he doing here? And connecting the dots with what Laurinda had said earlier Watkins was Cordelia’s boyfriend?

The audience below was aghast, and Loule furrowed his brow, his usually soft eyes glinting with a cold light. He adjusted his glasses and raised his paddle again, “$12 million.”

*$15 million,” Everard drawled, chiming in once more.

Sitting beside Everard, Sanderson was stunned. He couldn’t help but lean over and whisper, “Everard, don’t be reckless. If you keep bidding, you’re actually going to have to buy it!”

Everard chuckled softly, “Mr. Delaney, relax.”

As Louie moved to raise his paddle once again, Ballaster shouted from the stage. “$16 million!” After the bid, he shot Louie a pleading look.

Mr. Watkins, being the son–in–law of the Delaney family, surely couldn’t make the purchase. Otherwise, it would only confirm that the Delaney family was using money to hype up Lorna by buying her paintings. But if Loule bought it, Mr. Watkins was clearly unhappy, perhaps even jealous.

At this moment, it was up to Ballaster to make the buy!

Louie twisted his brow, adjusted his glasses once more, and with a sigh, reluctantly lowered his paddle.

Everard seemed satisfied as well and didn’t bid again.

Eventually, the painting was sold for a staggering $16 million, instantly becoming the talk among the elite and making its painter, Lorn, famous overnight!

The auction continued until the last item of the evening was sold, and unsurprisingly. Lorn’s painting fetched the highest price.
