Just when everyone thought Edward would win the bid, a powerful voice came from the darkness.
That charming voice caused everyone's heart to beat fast.
Right now, everyone turned their attention to Leon.
The man looked cold all night and at this moment, he became the highlight of the event.
Edward looked at his uncle in disbelief.
Mr. Leon saw no one but a diamond stone on the stage.
The host was stunned for a while before he regained his composure. “15 billion! Is there another offer?!”
Edward did not dare to fight his uncle and 15 billion was already far beyond his limit. The limit is actually under 10 billion.
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three!!"
“Sold to Mr Leonardo Smith! Congratulations!" The host hit the hammer excitedly.
The staff took the stone and sent it to Leon.
The man glanced at the stone before Teddy accepted it.
He looked at the stone in his hand and then his master.
Since when did the master he served become so unusual?
The annual party ends with the last item in the hands of its new owner.
Everyone started leaving the place.
Anggi held Melisa's hand as they walked towards Alexander's family car.
Before he could get into the car, he was forced to stop.
Mr. Leon stood in front of him, with his servant, Han.
"Miss Anggia,” Mr. Leon called her.
His actions attracted a lot of attention.
The queue of cars coming to the entrance to pick up the guests was long enough and with Mr. Leonardo Smith standing in front, the queue got longer.
“Yes, Mr. Leon. Is there something?" Anggi asked calmly.
Mr. Leon moved his finger and Han gave a box to Anggi.
Anggi knew that in the box there was a diamond offered by Mr. Leon for 15 billion.
He looked at her and asked, "What does this mean, Mr Leon?"
"For you," said the man with a serious temperament. He's not kidding.
Angi tightened her lips.
Their eyes increased every second.
“I don't deserve this. I didn't do anything, ”he said.
"When in front of the toilet, thank you for your praise, Miss Anggia." Leon curled his lips into a perfect smile.
Anggi was stunned and could barely react to the situation.
Mr. Leon thanked him for defending his private parts in front of the girls.
It seems like this guy is like no other.
He smiled and said, “I am just stating the truth. You're too good."
Mr. Leon looked at him.
The man didn't talk much. When he looked at someone with full concentration, that person would definitely shiver.
"You don't like it?" he asked with raised eyebrows.
"I don't" he said frankly.
"You didn't?" If he didn't like it, why did he raise the price so high earlier?
Confused, everyone looked at him, expecting an answer.
"I was just bored and just wanted to test my voice," Anggi said indifferently.
Mr. Leon kept looking at her. He was silent hearing his answer.
Han saw something strange with his master and believed that his master had already regretted his decision to obtain the diamond.
Moments later, Mr. Leon said, "That's a good voice, Miss Alexander."
He turned around and walked away quickly.
Anggi sees her leaving before she goes to the car with Melisa.
Slowly but surely, the guests left the place.
Sandra got into her car and her mood was not good.
Everyone sees the interaction between Anggi and Mr. Leon and he hopes to strangle Anggi on the spot.
If this news came out, he would definitely be embarrassed.
His body trembled in anger but he had to force himself to calm down beside Edward.
Edward was not in a good mood either.
He doesn't know when Anggi started contacting his uncle. He believed the two had only known each other recently. Since Anggi had just returned to the city three days ago, it was almost impossible for him to catch up to his uncle this quickly.
Moreover, it was known that his uncle had no women by his side. Nor could his uncle suddenly fall in love with Anggi.
Something must have happened without her knowledge.
Edward clenched his fists.
'I can't let Anggi go after Uncle Leon. I had to make him give up on me and only me! I want him to understand that disobeying me is suicide!'
…
Mr. Leon was silent in his car.
Han had a 15 billion stone in his hand. It feels heavier than the actual weight.
Usually, if the master is silent, Han is too.
The car arrived at the Smith family residence.
The Smith family residence is a spacious villa equipped with a forest-like garden. The park was separated into several different sections and each section had its own villa.
The car stops in front of the villa and Han opens the door for his master.
Mr. Leon got out of the car and into his villa.
Each separate garden is luxurious and magnificent. A single villa in the residence was over 4000 square feet in size, let alone the green and lush plants that surrounded the building.
Han had no idea what his master was feeling today. It was strange and he had never faced a situation like this before.
*****
Anthony arrived home first. Instead of returning to her room, she sat in the living room.
Jihan and Sandra were there too. Sandra's eyes were red and swollen as if she had just cried in the river.
Anggi ignored everyone and wanted to go upstairs with Melisa.
"STOP!" Anthonio. He was so loud that it felt like even the house was shaking.
Anggi turned around calmly as if he was not surprised at all. He asked, "Yes?"
Anthonio was furious. “Do you know what you did before? Are you not aware of your mistakes? Many years have passed but you still never change! You're still careless! Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Anggi stared straight into Anthonio's eyes.
Anthonio darted and walked towards his daughter. He raised his hand into the air and wanted to slap Anggi in the face.
Nervous, Melisa tightens her grip on her mother's hand.
Anggi barely reacted as he said, "Slap me and the marriage with Sebastian's family will be over."
Anthonio's hand froze in the air as he was threatened by Anggi's words.
He had been in the business world for many years and not many things or people could provoke him, let alone a threat.
He glared at Anggi and he saw the look on his face that was unwilling to retreat.
Gritting his teeth, Anthonio lowered his hand and said, "You've just publicly humiliated Sebastian's family and you're still thinking about that marriage?"
“The most important thing about business-related marriage is profit. As long as a marriage can provide enough value and profit for both families, nothing is beyond repair. After all, you also never asked me if I wanted to marry Andre, ” Anggi said while mocking.
Anthonio was silenced by Anggi's argument. She did not expect him to understand the meaning of marriage so far.
Anthonio was silenced by Anggi's argument. She did not expect him to understand the meaning of marriage so far.
“There are several reasons why I did that to Octavia. First, it's not Melisa's fault and I'm defending my son. Second, if I choose to accept his attitude tonight, given Octavia's character, he will put me in a difficult position when I move into his house after the wedding."
“I do what I do because I want Sebastian's family to know that I am not someone they can take advantage of. So, why do you think I made a mistake tonight?" Anggi asked while looking at his father.
"After all, you shouldn't humiliate them in front of the crowd!"
“I didn't start it. He's the one who forced me to do it. Do you think I should scold him secretly?" Anggi raised an eyebrow and added,
“Or do you think defending yourself is wrong? As happened five years ago.”.
Anthonio shouted, “Enough! Stop talking about five years ago! You deserve it!"
Anggi grinned coldly.
"OKAY. Besides Sebastian family, why did you raise the price during the auction?” Anthonio continued to interrogate his daughter.
“Are you trying to let the public know that there is a dispute in the family? Are you trying to start a fight with your brother-in-law?
“If I don't raise the price, do you think outsiders will think that our family is loving and peaceful? Everyone knows the real situation when Sandra barged into my relationship and got me kicked out of the house. Do you think society is stupid? We act in front of others and they will think that our family is loving and peaceful?!”
"ORANGE!"
“In addition, I did it because I tried to give Edward the opportunity to show how much he loved Sandra. I just raised the price but he still did his best to get the diamond for Sandra. People will just think of him as a loving fiancee.”
Anggi suddenly chuckled. “Although no one expected Mr. Leon to interrupt.”
Mr. Leon's interruption really amuses him a lot.
