The ex husband revenge chapter 72
Chapter 73
Leon waved his hands repeatedly to respectfully decline Benedict's kindness.
"I must insist! If you take something as rare and precious as this imperial green and carve it into a piece of women's jewelry, it's almost certain to win their hearts…"
Benedict grinned knowingly and gave Leon a little wink as if to say, 'I know what
you want them for.'
As someone who experienced a lot of things in life, he assumed that Leon's intended to have them crafted into jewelry and given to a current or potential girlfriend. After all, no one would have thought that Leon had some other purpose.
Leon was initially still adamant about refusing but was eventually swayed by the
old man. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I'd like to ask for a necklace if it's possible…" "Not a problem!" Benedict let out a chuckle.
If those two imperial greens were
carved into two jade bracelets, the middle that had to be hollowed out was enough to make two
necklace pendants, a couple of earrings, and some other small pieces of jewelry.
Leon's request was not excessive, for he had only requested a necklace.
Benedict transferred ten million dollars to Leon right
away and asked for Leon's phone number so he could give the necklace to Leon
once it was ready.
The atmosphere inside the store became lively again after Benedict left.
Everyone was awestruck at Leon's luck, and they all looked at him with envy!
The most jealous of them all were none other than Brody and Marilyn!
Leon effortlessly made more than nine million, but that was not all. He even succ
eeded in taking the opportunity to establish a relationship with Benedict Shear! His luck was shooting through the roof!
After witnessing that incident, the two of them finally came to understand how a loser like Leon could get to know Iris!
The process of feeling spiritual energy from raw jadestone was very draining, and
since Leon already had the money, he might as well save his time and
effort by buying a finished product made of clear jadeite!
While he was busy perusing, he saw Brody looking at some raw jade stones again. A smile appeared on his face and he stepped forward. || "Five hundred thousand from me!" Brody raised the number plate in his hand.
He came here because he wanted to buy a larger piece of jade with which he could send to a craftsman and have a figure carved for his grandfather. With only two pieces of fine jade
in good condition left, he would not get his hands. on any if he did not
make a bid. Moreover, he was still feeling irked after Leon managed to get
those imperial greens. He felt that his luck was just as good as Leon, so there was no reason why he would not be able to get it if Leon could.
"I'll pay six hundred thousand!" Leon walked over and said nonchalantly.
Still seething from the way Brody forced him
into spending way more than he originally intended to, Leon
decided that it would not do him justice if he did not return the favor!
"You…" Smoke was practically coming out of Brody's nostrils! Although one
should rightly mind one's own business and not try to hijack another person's pur
chase, Leon felt that it was not that big of a deal to take revenge on Brody for trying to sabotage him earlier. He shot Leon a fierce glare and
said, "Seven hundred thousand!
"Eight hundred thousand!" Leon continued to increase the price.
"Nine hundred thousand!" Brody said, gritting his teeth. Without even
a moment's hesitation, Leon said, "One million dollars!" In a fit of rage, Brody
came to the sudden realization that Leon might be trying to get revenge on him!
Even so, he could not bring himself to concede to Leon.After all, Leon only mana
ged to obtain the imperial greens and earn more than nine million because Brody
did not increase his bid to 1.3 million!If he conceded that piece to Leon and the latter ended up with yet another rare item, he would probably die of anger!Brody was still hesitating
when everyone around him began discussing among themselves."Whoa, these two guys are at it again! There might just be something good in that raw jadestone!""Highly likely, yes!"
Chapter 73/3
"That young man never took an interest in any of the stones before, but
the one that he had his eyes on turned out to be an imperial green! That kind of exceptional judgment must mean that he's an expert when it comes to speculating
on raw stones! Perhaps he has a vision or something!""Yeah! If he's bidding
on this, it might just turn out to be something really valuable!"After hearing everyone's comments, several merchants began to calculate the chances. Although the probability
of finding imperial green jadeite was not very high, the odds of getting clear jadeite was still relatively decent!
The Ex-Husband's Chapter 74
"I'll pay 1.1 million! One of the tycoons were itching to make a bid.
"1.2 million!" Another rich person could not hold back anymore and join in.
Brody could feel his insides churn. All he wanted was to buy the stone, but it seemed to have turned into an all–out bidding war! He considered whether or not to just give up on buying it, but now that all the other rich people were jumping on the bandwagon, he did not hesitate anymore and immediately increase the price. "I'll pay 1.3 million!"
"I'll do better. 1.4 million!" Leon raised the price again.
Leon's decisiveness led many of the rich people who participated in the auction to become more confident. "1.5 million from me!" 1.6 million!"
Brody's eyes turned red and lost his mind completely. "I'll pay 1.7 million!"
"Then I'll offer to buy it for 1.8 million!" Leon said calmly. "1.83 million!"
"1.85 million!" "1.88 million!"
The other rich people increased the price one after another, but because the asking price was too high, they had some doubts and did not dare to increase it by too large. an amount.
"2 million then! I'll pay 2 million!" Brody roared. It was already a bit difficult for himto bear such a high price!
"Fine, you win! I won't try to raise the price anymore!" Leon smiled and gave up on increasing the price altogether.
Those rich tycoons became hesitant. They only bid because Leon was bidding, but with Leon giving up completely, their confidence was all but lost.
After all, the price of that raw jadestone soared to outrageous proportions. If the jadeite contained within was not at least clear jadeite or better, it would result in a certain loss without any profit. Such a risk was too huge, and one they were not prepared to take.
After mulling over it for a moment, several of those tycoons chose to pull out.
"Weren't you trying to be a show–off, Leon? What's wrong? Are you chickening out?" Brody laughed mockingly and shot Leon a condescending look with disdain–filled eyes.
He was pissed at Leon ever since the latter obtained the imperial greens and became the center of attention. Having finally beat Leon in the bidding price, he felt an almost victorious sense of pride in himself!
"You're right, I conceded! I'm not as stupid as you are. Wouldn't I be such a fool if I spent all that money and ended up with nothing?" Leon grinned mockingly.
"You…" Brody's expression changed. He knew that Leon was taunting him in a roundabout way and snorted coldly, "You should keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything good to say. Who do you think you are anyway? You act as if you have x–ray vision. What a joke!"
"Yeah! Don't get so full of yourself just because you got those imperial greens. You were just lucky! My husband's luck might just be better than yours, and he'll get an even bigger imperial green!" Marilyn sneered and did not show any weakness.
"Oh? I'm curious to see whether you'd even be able to get any imperial greens!"
Leon jibed and did not bother to argue with Brody.
"Take my card!" Brody paid the money and signaled the staff to cut on the spot.As the two staff began to cut it, all that was contained inside was
merely gravel and nothing else."Again!"Brody's expression changed dramatically,
and he was no longer as confident as he was at the beginning.A few more cuts later, there w
as still nothing inside."Nothing!""The young man was right! There's nothing!"Everyone was
taken aback and immediately looked at Leon with surprise.They finally understood that Leon might have earlier discerned that there was nothing of value within that piece of raw jade stone. As a result, he deliberately raised the price to try and trick
Brody to take revenge against Brody for earlier! Brody's face turned ashen and he was unable to keep his cool any longer.
