Chapter 200
The Taibbi family is made of maniacs. Did you forget about Carlos having a conflict with him in Morose
Entertainment Club: Carlos is still recovering in the hospital because of it.” a friend behind Kyle
reminded in a low voice.
Everyone in their circle looked down on families like the Taibbi family, who did not rely on a sessful
company but on their gang to upkeep their reputation
However, they could not afford to mess with them either.
Quinton was Spike’s son. Thus, if one did not know the duo had cut ties, they would not dare to
provoke Quinton.
Jessica was a little worried about Quinton. After all, she did not want him to mess with those people
because of her.
“Let’s go. Quinton took Jessica’s hand and walked toward the charity auction.
Initially, Quinton had been invited to the auction. Despite he had been disinterested, he had rushed
over for fear that Jessica would get bullied.
Touched, Jessica looked at Quinton silently without saying anything.
“I heard that Quinton had been arrested by the police a few days ago, and his father even cut ties and
no longer cares about
him
At that moment, several rich men who despised Quinton were crowded together.
“Let’s say Spike doesn’t care about him. If you ask me, Mr. Roth, tonight…”
Kyle narrowed his eyes. “Let’s do as you say?”
At the charity auction. Quinton sat in his seat and nced at Henry, who was not far away.
Obviously, Henry also noticed him and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “It seems like Quinton is still
doing well despite parting ways with Spike, he thought.
Quinton ignored Henry, remaining an air of indifference and disdainfulness as usual.
By Quinton’s attitude, it seemed that he was not the same person who begged Henry to save Jessica.
It was a ssic example of one abandoning another after taking advantage of them.
“Mr. Taibbi, I heard you were locked up in the police station a few days ago. You shouldn’t do anything
illegal. Did your father freeze all the money in your bank ount? Should we borrow some from you?
Don’t embarrass yourself at the first auction you attend. Behind Quinton, a few rich families’ children
sat down coincidentally.
Jessica held Quinton’s arm nervously. She knew about Quinton’s current situation and that he could not
get a job.
However, it was embarrassing for one if they did not purchase anything there. After all, it was a charity
auction.
Nheless, Quinton was unfazed and sneered at their ignorance.
“Why aren’t you talking. Mr. Taibbi? Don’t make a fool out of yourself and try to say you don’t like
anything in the auction.” Several people continued to ridicule him.
This is a charity auction. Don’t humiliate yourself.”
Quinton furrowed his eyebrows, feeling that the people behind him were too noisy.
“It seems like all kinds of people are allowed into charity auctions nowadays, Quinton sneered.

Chapter 200
Behind Quinton, the group’s faces darkened as they waited for Quinton to humiliate himself.
“Samuel!”
“I thought he wouldn’te after the Turner family had such a huge scandal.”
“The woman with him is the eldest daughter of the Turner family. Gosh. She’s such a gorgeous woman.
Is her husband blind? How could he get a mistress and embezzle herpany s project fund?”

When Nina and Samuel attended the charity banquet together, they were so stunning that nobody
could avert their eyes.
Samuel’s height nor appearance were anything less to the male models present in the venue.
When Samuel walked past Henry, he did not utter a word.
Henry did not say anything either.
“Mr. Gibson, what is the item you donated for the auction? Why don’t you reveal it to us first? We can
get a bit of your fate of fortune that way Behind them, a few people were trying to butter up to Henry.
Henry remained indifferent and refused to say a word
“Where’s Jo?” Henry frowned and nced at Samuel
“She’s by my side. There’s no need to worry about nothing” Samuel did not look at Henry. Initially,
Samuel did not want to attend. However, he decided to attend with Nina to stop all the gossip.
It was also in order not to cause chaos and prevent Turner Corporation’s share price from fluctuating
too much.
The auction began with auctioning of antiques, calligraphy, and paintings:
From beginning to end, Samuel and Henry sat quietly without intending to participate in the auction.
The assistants they brought along with them would help them source and estimate the donation
amount.
“The next auction item is a set of emerald jewelry donated by Mr. Henry Gibson. This set of jewelry is
very valuable, and 1 believe everyone has heard of it. The starting price of it will be 12 million dors…
When Samuel saw the pictures in the auction, his face darkened Henry, you’re auctioning off this set of
jewelry?”
Josie’s grandmother left the jewelry set to Hayden, and heter passed it to Kathy. After Kathy died,
Josie returned the jewelry to the Gibson family.
For Josie, the jewelry set contained memories rted to her mother.
It was Hayden’s oath of love for Kathy.
*1.27 million dors…”
Henry did not reply and sat quietly.
*15 million dors.” Samuel raised his bidder number.
Henry lowered his head and said nothing.
Initially, he had nned to return the jewelry set to Josie on their wedding anniversary that year.
However, Ashley had secretly worn the ne and was even caught by the media.

Chapter 200
Afraid that Josie would mind, Henry did not dare to make a move for a long time.
Now, he could only hand the jewelry set back to Josie in this way
“2.25 million dors!”
Samuel turned around and looked at Charles with a frown. “What a sly man. He took the opportunity to
increase the price. Obviously, he knew that I would walk away with the jewelry,” he thought.
“3 million dors.” Samuel continued to raise his bidder number
Nina was stunned by her brother’s action. “Samuel?”
“I will use my personal savings. Don’t worry. I must have this jewelry, Samuel exined lowly.
Nina seemed to understand and smiled, “You should go for something if you like it. I’ll sponsor you.”
Samuel smiled, feeling warmness in his heart.
“3.45 million dors.” Beside them, Quinton was also deliberately increasing the price.
The rich families’ children behind them were all confused. “More than 3 million dors? Are they mad?
He did it on purpose!” they thought.
They all looked forward to seeing Quinton making a fool out of himself.
Jessica was also frightened. “What should we do if nobody ces another bid?”
Seeing that Jessica was scared, Quinton smiled and whispered in her ear, “Henry won’t let me take this
jewelry away.”
“3.75 million dors.” Henry also raised his bidder number.
“3.75 million dors going once-
4.5 million dors.” Samuel raised his bidder number.
Charles still wanted to raise the price. “It’s too much of a waste ift don’t take this opportunity to mess
with Henry and Samuel. I just want to see how far these two men are willing to go in order topete
for Josic,” he thought.
“5.25 million dors.”
Zachary gasped and thought, “Did their money grow on trees?”
ncing back at Charles, Zachary could tell he was deliberately making trouble.
“7.5 million dors!” Samuel raised his bidder number, and everyone present gasped. “It’s just a charity
auction, What is the Turner family doing?” they wondered.
“Is Samuel trying to tell everyone that the Turner family has huge assets and that Gabriel’s incident
wouldn’t even make a dent in their foundation?”
“That’s right. The Turner family’s tactics are really brilliant.”
“Although they would lose 7.5 million dors, they could prevent more losses. It’s a smart way.”
“7.5 million dors going once! 7.5 million dors going twice!”
Charles narrowed his eyes, knowing he could not continue toying with them. After all, Samuel had
already shown his determination and stance in front of Henry.
Wed, May
Chapter 200
No matter the price, Samuel would continue bidding till the end
Thus, it was meaningless for Charles to continue bidding.
Henry was silent, and his hand holding the bidding number sign was trembling.
His heart was in pain.
Giving out the jewelry set meant he was letting go of Josie andpletely handing her over to
someone else.
As he felt unreconciled, he wanted to raise his bidding number and get the jewelry set back.
However, he knew that Josie would still be gone despite him snat ching the jewelry back.
