Money Only to Burn

Chapter 94

Slowly the murmur broke through the crowd. $400,000 is too much to spend on pearl necklaces.

Everyone turned to look at Cyril. Who is this guy who can waste so much money on a necklace?

Their curiosity only grew when they saw her inexpensive clothes.

How does someone dressed like that have so much money?

Can he really pay for the necklace?

"Who is he? Why is she dressed so casually? Which family is he from? " That mutter kept growing Rainee and Rebecca had the same surprised expression.

Rainee wondered how much Cyril would buy something at the auction at all. And here he made this surprising offer.

Yammy was really off guard.

"Isn't he poor? How could he bargain so much? That's too wasteful!" Yammy's face was filled with disbelief.

Cyril clothes are obviously very cheap. He obviously looked poor, but his offer showed otherwise.

"interesting.. Someone seems more than they seem. Let's see if I can figure out exactly how much money you actually have. "

Martin suddenly lifted his paddle and looked at Cyril with a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.

"Six hundred thousand." Martin deliberately added another two hundred thousand dollars.

At first the people were surprised, but when they saw it was Martin Longman, they were not surprised.

There was no doubt that the Longman Family was rich. $600,000 was just a drop in the bucket for them.

"One million." Cyril smiled slightly and looked almost bored.

As if a million dollars is not a ridiculous amount of money to pay for a pearl necklace.

"Wow!" Everyone gawked at Cyril. They became more curious about his identity.

However, Rainee and Rebecca became a little anxious. They didn't know what Cyril was doing, but they couldn't help him earn that much money.

"Cyril, we don't have much money." Rainee reminded him in a soft voice.

"Don't worry, I've covered it up." Cyril replied with a faint smile.

"You? Ye? Any timing? " Reca and Rainee were a little stunned. Isn't Cyril just the department manager?

Where would he get that kind of money?

"Well, he went straight into that one. Let's see what he did when I stopped bidding and he realized that he actually had to pay $1,000,000." Martin lowered his paddle.

"One million goes once." Joe paused to see if anyone else would dare to make another offer.

"One million goes twice." No one wants to raise the price anymore.

"Sold for $1.000.000! Congratulations, the antidote is 148. This pearl necklace is yours!" Joe is excited to announce.

Soon, the crowd started muttering again. Who pays $1,000,0000 for pearl necklace?

Martin suddenly stood up from his seat, and pointed at Cyril.

"I have serious concerns that this man cannot make such a payment. I'd like to ask Secretary Carter to verify the funds before we proceed with the auction.

Martin's friends also stood up and echoed, "Yes, verify dananva. There was no way he could have that much money. Just look at him. He could not even afford decent clothes. "

"If he doesn't have any money, I demand that he be removed immediately!" Yammy stood up and echoed.

He really liked the pearl necklace and it really made him angry that Cyril won it.

The room exploded with screams and arguments on both sides.

Some agreed with Martin and others in favor of Cyril. The commotion made Rainee and Rebecca a little worried.

"Should I ask my father to transfer a million to my account?" Rainee doesn't want Cyril kicked out.

The only thing he could think of was asking his father to give him money to pay for the necklace.

"No, my boss is Hatcher Chambers. He's got a lot of money." Cyril smiled reassuringly.

Rebecca and Rainee were stunned for a moment then breathed a sigh of relief.

Joe, can't refuse the public's request. He approached Cyril and said politely, "Please come with me sir."

"No problem. Lead way. " Cyril nodded and calmly got up from her seat.

However, Martin and the others looked like they were watching a good show.

"Now you'll regret you ever put your hands on me! I hope they put you in jail for fraud!"

Martin and the others are convinced Cyril is incapable

pay the payment, and will definitely be removed from the auction.

Cyril followed Joe out of the main hall and into a small room.

There were two men inside, who seemed to be doing some calculations. It looks like this is the Treasury Department.

"Sir, we need proof that you are able to complete the payment." Joe stated.

Joe started taking out his black gold card, but he thought more about it. He did not want to give his identity away.

So, he had just taken out a nine-star VIP card for Mandelo Street. He got the card from Hatcher. Cyril handed the card to Joe.

"I wonder if this card has enough money on it?"

After Joe took the card, his expression changed. Clearly, he recognized that this was a nine-star VIP card for Mandelo Street.

No more than 10 people in Chinsy have this card.

"This card is not yours." Joe notices that Cyril's name isn't on the card.

Cyril thought for a moment and then said, "This card was given to me by Hatcher Chambers. The money I spent today was backed by DH Enterprises and Hatcher Chambers. Will it work for you?"

"Please just for a second. I need to call Mr. Chambers to make sure." Joe has to double-check.

He couldn't risk angering Mr. Chambers if his card had been stolen. That's too big a risk to take.

DH Enterprises runs a quarter of the industry in Chinsy. Joe takes this very seriously.

Joe quickly called Hatcher and explained the situation briefly to him.

Finally, Joe asks if he is willing to be a financial backer for Cyril.

"DH Enterprises will take full responsibility for all Mr Woodley's offers."

Joe was relieved after talking to Joe.

After hanging up the phone, he respectfully turned to Cyril and said, "Master Woodley, your finances have been verified. You are free to continue the offer. I apologize for the inconvenience. I hope you understand that this is a necessary step due to the scale of the transaction. "

Cyril nodded and was very satisfied. Joe was respectful and professional throughout the entire meeting.

"This is your pearl necklace, sir. Enjoy your purchase and thank you for your concern for the city's orphans!" Joe gestured for an employee to give Cyril the necklace.

It seems to be in very good condition. That would be a great gift for Rainee.

Cyril came out of the Treasury Department, and calmly took his seat.he did not even glance at Martin.

Martin was confused. How could this man be allowed to return to his seat? How could he pay for the necklace?

"Guests, Mr. Woodley has verified his finances. Let's continue the auction. " Joe's words completely destroyed Martin. He was sure Cyril would be humiliated and expelled from the auction.

"How can that guy pay a million dollars?" Martin frowned. Did he just go broke himself to pay for the necklace?

After Cyril returned to his seat, he gave the pearl necklace to Rainee. He lovingly placed it on his neck and kissed the top of his head.

"Rainee, this is for you."

"Oh Cyril, are you sure?" Rainee was shocked.

She never expected Cyril to give her such a precious gift, especially in front of so many people.

"Does this mean he loves me?"

Beside her, inevitably Rebecca felt a little jealous.

Has she ever had a boyfriend who was so loyal to her?

"Rebecca, do you like my new necklace? I want you to have it. Can I, Cyril?" Rainee looked at Cyril as she spoke.

"Of course, honey, it's up to you!" Cyril said with a smile.

Rebecca had made several offers to obtain the necklace. He obviously wanted it more than Rainee had. So sweet Rainee wants to give it.

"Let's buy another one for Rainee."

"Rainee, Cyril, that's very good. Please allow me to take you to dinner later as a thank you. " Reca was so happy.

She never expected Rainee to be so good to her. He was very touched.

The auction continues.

The second item was a jade-carved mountain. Neither Cyril nor the women were interested in this, so they only saw others bid.

In the end, it sold for $240,000. Truth be told, the price is a bit steep. It seems like the youngsters have already started their competition.

The third item is an ancient painting from the middle ages. The starting price is $100,000.

It seems to be genuine.

But it doesn't matter to young people. They just wanted to win the auction and spend a lot of money.

Hopefully the person who bought it at least liked the art. Prices keep going up. It eventually sold for 1.36 million dollars.

Cyril and the woman were not interested in any of the items that followed. They enjoyed their food while watching the rich youngsters competing against each other for goods.

Cyril actually began to fall asleep when the final item came to bid.

"Alright guys. It's free to sign up and bid on work This item is donated by a foreign friend who wants to remain anonymous. Take a look at this!" Joe cleared his throat and continued.

"This is Bulgari's blue ring, designed by Johnny Weld. If you are not familiar with his work, he is a very famous designer who lived over a hundred years ago. The ring belonged to the Queen of England herself, and was passed down to her daughter. This ring was only ever owned by nobles."

As Joe spoke, an enlarged image of the Bulgari ring appeared on the screen.

It was so beautiful that all the women in the room gasped softly.

"Let's start the offering. Initial offer is $1.000.000."

With an initial price of $1,000,000, only a very wealthy family could even think of bidding for the ring.

Rainee instantly fell in love with the ring as soon as she saw the picture. But he doesn't have that kind of money. He must see someone else bid.

"Two million!" Someone doubled the price, making it the highest bid of the auction. But it won't last long.

"2.4 million."

"Three million."

"Four million!"

Even Martin was eager to get this ring. It quickly raised the price to four million. This ring will be an addition

which is very good for his collection or he might use it as a gift someday. He should buy it.

"Six million!" Another young man from another rich family raised his oar.

At this price, the second and third class wealthy families basically could not afford it.

Only the first-rate wealthy families and the Top Four Families had a chance of winning.

"Eight million." Martin did not give up. His family is engaged in finance and has a lot of money.

"Ten million!" Kris Woods, a member of one of the Top Four Families, held up his paddle. Everyone is jerking.

The Woods family is one of the most prestigious and wealthy families in Chinsy.

"Twelve million!" Toby Wright, of the other Top Four Families, offered his offer.

Not even Martin could afford that price!

Yet the bidding continued; reaching staggering prices.

"Twenty million!" Once again, Cyril managed to make the room quiet.
