1132 Words
'How dare Bob kidnap Emily in front of me as a hostage? He's asking for death!' At this moment, Kaid was furious when he saw Emily snuggling up to Jack. He pointed an iron rod at Jack and shouted, "Let her go, or I'll beat you to death!" Jack frowned, but instead of letting Emily go, he pulled her closer. "f**k, go to hell!" Kaid roared and rushed forward with the iron rod in his hand. "Watch out, Mr. Steele!" West yelled from the audience. The guests were stunned. They didn't expect such a thing to happen. Jack was a distinguished guest valued by the City Lord, but now he was going to be beaten! In the next second, everyone’s jaws dropped in shock. They saw Jack easily catch the falling iron rod with one hand, while his foot had already kicked Kaid in the belly. "Puff!" Kaid spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. "Kaid!" Greg and his wife shouted. They hurried forward to help their son up and were about to scold Jack. West spoke calmly, "Everyone, calm down first." Hearing his voice, everyone hurriedly turned to look at him. They saw West standing under the stage, exuding the aura of a leader. "Stop it. It's a charity party tonight!" Although the Medhursts were upset, they had to respect West. They could only glare at Jack before walking off the stage and sitting down. "How did this brat get invited as an honored guest?" Kaid gnashed his teeth. Greg said slowly with a gloomy face, "I heard that Jack has a good relationship with the chairman of the Destroy Steele Group, and Jack is just an unemployed gangster. So Jack may come to the party on behalf of Drake." Kaid agreed with his father's speculation. Time was precious to high-ranking people like Drake, and sometimes he would ask his secretary or assistant for help. He speculated that it was not that Jack did not have a job, but that he was just a little assistant of Drake. Thinking of this, Kaid showed a cruel smile. How dare an assistant hit him in front of him? He would definitely find an opportunity to make Jack suffer a fate worse than death! Soon, the second part of the auction began. Some charity guests who liked to collect collected items for free for auction. The funds obtained from the auction would be donated in the name of the government and the guests of Wyndcrest. "Jack, as a guest, do you have anything to auction?" Emily asked. She sat in the first row with Jack. At this time, the other guests had already sent their collections over. Hearing her question, Jack shook his head helplessly. "Then what should we do? The other guests have already taken something to appraise. Why don't you take my necklace and make do with it?" Emily was about to untie the necklace around his neck and auction it. Jack stopped her. "Wait a minute, I have something suitable for auction." As he spoke, he picked up a bag from the ground. It was an antique he had intended to give to Nancy. He had taken it away because he had thought it was a fake, but it had come in handy now. He handed the antique to the staff and looked up, only to see Kaid staring at him maliciously. He ignored him and continued to lean against the seat comfortably, while Emily quietly leaned against his shoulder. "Damn it!" Kaid gnashed his teeth in anger when he saw how intimate they were. Soon, the auction began. Because it was a charity party held by the city owner, the businessmen present, no matter what kind of collections they were auctioning, would participate in the bidding. Most of these items were only some less valuable collections, so they were willing to bid. But when the antique porcelain donated by Jack was taken out, it immediately caused waves of discussion. "How can someone take out such an expensive piece of art to auction in such a small charity auction? This is a precious porcelain work that has existed for thousands of years!" "Maybe he really doesn't care about money. He is a real philanthropist." "Offering his love, he is not like you hypocrites, putting on an act all day long!" Jack didn't care about their discussion. He was just chatting with Emily. At this time, West, who was sitting in the front, felt heartbroken. After all, the antique porcelain was originally his, and he had experienced many twists and turns to get his favorite collection. Drake said that Jack was going to give his parents-in-law a gift, so he immediately offered up the antique porcelain. But why did he bring it here to auction soon! 'I must get it back! If someone else gets it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!' He thought and took the lead in bidding. When the guests saw the his bid, they thought that he was actively participating in the bidding, so the enthusiastic atmosphere directly reached its peak! However, the price of the antique porcelain was suddenly raised, and West had no choice but to give up. Soon, the price reached one million dollars, which was beyond his acceptable range at this time. In the end, it was bought by a man surnamed Cena for 1.1 million dollars. He happily went to the stage to prepare to buy the porcelain antique. Suddenly, a sneer sounded. "The standard of your charity auction is too low. Can't you tell that the antique porcelain is fake?" It was Kaid who was talking in the VIP seat. "Shut up!" Greg scolded coldly from the side. Regardless of whether the antique porcelain was real or fake, what he said had offended the organizer and the guests present. He was mocking the professional level of the appraiser and the on-site guests for competing with each other for a fake porcelain antique. More importantly, City Lord had also participated in many bids. What he said was too disrespectful to the lord! But at this time, Kaid had been blinded by jealousy. He was furious that Jack sold a fake at such a high price. Not long ago, Jack wanted to give the fake to Nancy, but he exposed it in public. In the blink of an eye, this guy came to the charity party to cheat with the fake. He wanted to use this matter to make Emily happy. That was impossible! "Guys, I didn't mean to make trouble and question your judgment!" Kaid said, "Jack cheated you! I exposed his fraud before, but I didn't expect that he would dare to come to the auction again!" Hearing this, there was a sudden uproar at the scene.
