Chapter 97 What A Joke

 

Following Connor’s murmur of Jonathan’s name, everyone’s gazes were instantly riveted on the latter.

 

 

Glimpsing Connor’s face that was flaming bright red, Jonathan shook his head and drawled placidly, “Who said that the lavender jade figurine is a counterfeit?”

 

“Me!” Ezra stepped forward with a snort. “Don’t tell me you could really buy a genuine lavender jade figurine with a hundred grand?”

 

“Of course not.” Glancing at him blithely, Jonathan amended, “I bought it at three hundred million.”

 

 

 

Three hundred million?

 

 

When the crowd heard that figure, chaos again broke out among them.

 

Three hundred million is precisely the price from the auction by the Hansley family last night! Could it be that he was the mysterious guest at the auction last night?

 

 

 

Ezra burst into laughter upon hearing that Jonathan bought it at three hundred million. “You must have lost your mind, huh, Jonathan? Three hundred million? Would you be able to fork out such an astronomical sum even if you were to sell yourself? That aside, could you even come up with three million?”

I’m afraid that he won’t even be able to come up with three hundred grand!
