Chapter 395 Wagering Agreement

Leah knew that if she told Vesper directly that it was a fake, Vesper would never believe her, so Leah

took a picture of the authentic item in advance.

Sure enough, Vesper hesitated, and he had a complicated expression under the mask, "Why did you

bother to tell me?"

From a business perspective, everything existed with interests as the foundation.

Leah put away her phone, and Leah replied politely, "The authentic item is with my friend. Naturally, I

cannot remain indifferent to the fact that people, who love this collectible, have been deceived."

Leah's tone sounded sincere, making Vesper even more conflicted.

Vesper looked at the imitation on the stage. In the end, Vesper still had his assistant raise the bid,

"Whether it's real or fake, this is precious and one of a kind. Even if it turns out to be an imitation, it

doesn't matter. It won't cost much."

Leah frowned, "Mr. Thompson, I'm Sarah. We can get to know each other in a meal after the auction."

"My friend is willing to sell the bracelet."

Given Vesper's caution and sensitivity, any further persuasion from Leah would only invoke

displeasure, so Leah took the initiative to reveal her identity.

Vesper spoke in surprise, "It's you. You have been contacting me to discuss the land on West Street,

right?"

"Unfortunately, that place is nostalgic for me. I have my own goals for that place."

Leah bit her lip, unwilling to give up. Leah spoke again, "Mr. Thompson, you have put aside the land for

so many years, so I assume there hasn't been any activity on it in recent years either."

"How about this? Let me put forward an agreement for a wager. Treat it as if I'm leasing the land from

you. If I have failed to meet the specific conditions within two years, I will compensate you according to

the agreement."

"On the other hand, you will sell and transfer the land completely to me if I win the wager…"

Leah had already prepared the next move if she was rejected. As the auction continued, Leah

discussed the specifics of the wagering agreement with Vesper.

Many of the details were beneficial to the Thompson family's development and could help relieve the

internal strife of the Thompson family. Vesper was drawn in.

"That sounds great. Let us discuss our cooperation in detail at your friend's house tonight. Of course,

there's also the matter of selling the bracelet to me."

Vesper decided to believe in Leah's words because Vesper had already noticed the man sitting

diagonally behind him, who exuded a strong aura.

Vesper's eyes flickered slightly as Vesper turned to look at Leah, "Is your friend, Hendrik?"

Vesper had investigated Hendrik. It was just that Hendrik's mask had a unique pattern on it.

At the very beginning, Hendrik had been observing Vesper. At the same time, Vesper had already

heard about the rumors between Leah and Hendrik.

Leah nodded, "Yes."

In the end, Leah and Vesper decided to finalize things at night.

Leah returned to sit next to Hendrik, and Leah briefly explained the situation to Hendrik, "Things have

gone smoothly on my end. How about your end?"

Before the auction, Hendrik had arranged for his men to investigate all the staff and the main organizer

at the venue.

"It's here soon," Hendrik said in a flat tone.

At this moment, one of Hendrik's subordinates approached Hendrik, and the subordinate whispered

something in Hendrik's ear. Hendrik stood up, and he looked at Leah, "I have to leave early for

something else. You stay and make things unpleasant for Owen."

After Hendrik left, Leah felt that the pressure of being the acting CEO of the White Group eased up.

Leah was put into the spot of going against a country's leader…

Leah's face turned pale, but Leah immediately regained her spirit later.

I can't just back down from this small challenge. I have to help manage the White Group until Hendrik

finishes his business!

Half an hour later, the final item of the auction was brought to the stage.

It was the jade finger ring that Owen wanted.

"Ten million!" After the auctioneer announced the starting price of 300 thousand, Owen immediately

made a bid that stirred up the entire audience.

The crowd chattered, "Oh my god, who is the big shot? That's a lot!"

"Forget it. I don't want to be involved. It's a terrible idea to compete with a tycoon. I could have ended

up dead without knowing what happened…"

"300 thousand to ten million? Rich people are on a whole other level!"

Everyone in the auction was intimidated, and no one dared to compete with Owen for the item.

The situation played into the hands of Owen, which was also his goal.

The jade finger ring had a long history, dating back to the ancient dynasty of Pasteria. Expert appraisal

indicated that the item would be worth at least 30 million or more.

With that, Owen could have saved 20 million.

Seeing that no one was bidding, Owen smiled, and he was ready to fetch this long-awaited treasure in

the auction.

"Number 8, 20 million!"

The auctioneer's voice shocked everyone.

"What? Are we still living in the same time as them? How did the bid always increase by ten million

each time? Did the money worth nothing now?"

"What's happening? Which wealthy family's young lady is it this time…?"

"Should I strike up a conversation with her? She could have fallen in love with me!"

Owen and Anna had been observing Leah, and they did not expect Leah to compete head-to-head with

them at the last moment.

"This lady." Owen's face darkened.

Leah raised the bidding paddle, and the price soared by ten million. It was the money Owen could have

saved!

Anna could not tolerate it anymore, and she was baffled by when did this poor person become so rich!

Anna quickly took away her mask, and Anna approached Leah. With a smile on Anna's face, Anna said

warmly, "Long time no see, Sarah. Your studio seems to be booming with business. You actually have

the money to attend the auction."

Even though Anna's words were somewhat ambiguous, Anna's words were spoken with sincerity,

leaving little room for other interpretations.

The crowd captured critical information from Anna.

"Sarah? Is that woman really Sarah!? After all, there's only one well-known Sarah in Linkville!"

"Tch, I thought she is a super rich young lady of a wealthy family. It turns out she is promiscuous. This

is disgusting!"

"Sarah must be rich since she has been seducing men for money. After all, she won't be able to spend

all the money from Mr. Howard and Mr. Hendrik. That's why she is splurging now!"

The discussion moved in the direction Anna wanted, and Anna was pleased.

Leah did not argue against the insult and provocations. Whenever Owen raised the bid, Leah would

double the bid, ignoring everyone, including Anna.

Anna was unwilling to give up, and Anna continued to pull tricks with a smile, "Sarah, I have never

blamed you for taking Ethan away from me. I treat you as a close friend, and I always give you what

you want."

"Please don't compete with my dad for the finger ring for just this time. My dad really likes this

collectible…"

After saying that, Anna showed teary eyes as if she had been unfairly treated.

Anna had once again incited the onlookers. The onlookers thought they were standing on the righteous

side, and they viciously insulted Leah.

"This crazy woman better be wary of karma."

"Ms. Lancaster treats this woman as a friend, and yet this woman takes everything from her. It opens

up my horizon to see such a wicked person!"

Leah clenched her fists tightly, and then she slowly released them.

Throughout the event, Leah stared at Anna and the people accusing her, "I respect that everyone here

is a renowned boss, so please stay civilized and rational. The first rule of the auction is to stay calm."

"Furthermore, if you think I ruined the two's engagement, please provide relevant evidence. Otherwise,

I will sue you for defamation and spreading false rumors."

"Lastly, this is an auction. I also like the finger ring, and I have the money to bid for it. There's no

reason for me to give it up for Mr. Lancaster. Isn't this gaslighting?"
