The Amazing son in law Chapter 444

Jeffrey realized that if the bidding for the premium purple ginseng continued, its final price could soar to twenty to thirty million dollars. To deter some potential bidders, he decided to double the initial price right off the bat, hoping to scare them away and perhaps walk away with the ginseng at a more reasonable cost.

“Eleven million dollars!” shouted a middle-aged man in the audience, raising his placard.

Jeffrey shot a disdainful glance at the man before raising his own placard again. “Fifteen million dollars!” he declared.

“Twenty-five million dollars!” Jeffrey called out, lifting his placard once more.

In truth, Jeffrey was merely assisting Kenneth in this auction; Kenneth would be the one responsible for the final bid. Therefore, Jeffrey felt no distress about the escalating prices.

The figure of twenty-five million dollars made many bidders reconsider their participation.

Despite the purple ginseng’s renowned effectiveness, its benefits were limited. Hence, twenty-five million dollars was already an exorbitant price for such a plant.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the hall: “I will pay thirty million dollars for it!”

Everyone turned to see that it was Charlie, seated next to Anthony, who had placed the bid.

Both Jeffrey and Kenneth were taken aback by Charlie’s unexpected participation in the auction. They exchanged glances before Kenneth snatched the placard from Jeffrey’s hand and shouted, “Forty million dollars!”

Kenneth was acutely aware of Charlie’s tenacity in negotiations. If Charlie was determined to continue competing, the price of the purple ginseng would undoubtedly rise significantly!

Moreover, Kenneth believed that Charlie couldn’t actually afford the ginseng. He assumed Charlie was simply trying to drive up the price, knowing that he needed the ginseng for personal reasons.

With this in mind, Kenneth quickly called out forty million dollars, hoping to intimidate Charlie into backing down.

To Kenneth’s surprise, Charlie raised his placard again and coolly stated, “Fifty million dollars!”

Charlie had a cash cheque for one hundred million dollars, which Jasmine had given him, tucked away in his pocket at that moment. Recently, he had accidentally handed this cheque to his mother-in-law, Elaine, which had nearly led to a disaster. Thus, Charlie had been eagerly seeking a chance to use it, and today felt like the perfect opportunity to purchase the purple ginseng!

In addition to the cheque, Charlie had a substantial amount of money in his bank account. To him, the cheque was merely a piece of paper that had been causing him confusion, and he was pleased that it would finally serve a purpose.

Upon hearing Charlie’s bid of fifty million dollars, Kenneth could hardly contain his fury.

“That insufferable fool! He’s doing this on purpose!” Kenneth fumed. “Fifty million dollars?! How could he possibly afford that for the purple ginseng?!” The rightful source is find⸺novel.net

Jeffrey nodded in agreement, grumbling, “That kid is truly a nuisance! This purple ginseng isn’t worth more than twenty million dollars. Paying fifty million for it is nothing short of absurd!”

Kenneth clenched his teeth, determined. “Damn it! I’ll bid against him one last time. There’s no way he’ll outbid me!”

With that, Kenneth raised his placard and shouted, “I will pay sixty million dollars!”

At this point, Kenneth was convinced that Charlie wouldn’t dare to raise the stakes any higher than sixty million.

Unexpectedly, Charlie responded without a moment’s hesitation, “I will pay eighty million dollars!” he exclaimed.

Kenneth jumped to his feet, seething with rage. “What’s your game, Wade? Why are you trying to outbid me for this purple ginseng?! Are you really sure you can afford eighty million dollars for it?!”

Charlie smiled and replied, “You’re quite the good grandson. Don’t worry; grandpa can afford it!”
