Of course, Oscar wasn't willing to lose the bid to Pamela, a young girl. It would be too embarrassing.
But he wasn't that generous either. He had merely bid a million dollars more than Pamela did.
Pamela immediately covered her mouth and laughed. "Uncle Oscar, you're so miserly. You bid almost double the previous bid just now and increased the price by nearly seventy million dollars! I just learned from you and bid double your bid. Anyway, the Howards are rich enough to play this game.
"But you don't seem to be in the right state now. You added only a million dollars. Isn't that embarrassing to the Smiths? If the Smiths don't have enough money, you'd better withdraw sooner and stop competing with me!"
Pamela's tone was full of contempt and mockery.
How could Oscar stand being mocked by such a young girl? In particular, the Smiths could never lose to the Howards!
