Chapter 243 They are the ones who cause trouble
The next afternoon.
Amanda Jewell and Iverson Byran attended a commercial banquet together. The theme of this banquet was donation auction for the mountains. The antique shop was led by all the people from Ducco who were either rich or expensive.
Although it’s been a long time since she left her job, Amanda Jewell has a good grasp of the news of the market. She has come all the time and intends to take this opportunity to know some new resources.
Unfortunately, the reality is not as optimistic as she thought.
At Iverson Byran’s side, people were kind to her, but when Iverson Byran left, the perfunctory meaning was beyond words.
“I don’t care about business. My family Lao Zhao is in charge. I’m sorry, Mrs. Bo.”
“Oh, today is not for charity auction? Don’t talk about business, it’s a wet blanket. ”
Several wives perfunctorily smile, and then excuse themselves to have something to do.
Amanda Jewell stood there, took a glass of champagne and took a sip to relieve her embarrassment.
“Yo, sister-in-law?”
A familiar voice came from behind.
Howard, dressed in a light brown plaid suit and a little red bow tie, has changed from an artist to an industry elite, and it seems that he has adapted quickly.
“This is to find someone to cooperate with. Was it rejected?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Howard, holding a glass of wine, sarcastically said, “That’s right, sister-in-law. Your small company is today, but it’s all helped by my brother. Now everyone knows that my brother is totally divorced from you. Who will throw money at you for nothing?”
Amanda Jewell’s eyebrows closed. “Naturally, I’m not as skilled as Qi. I was born in the Byran Family. I lost my job and inherited my family property. I can lie flat and be a basket case in my life.”
“Who do you call a basket case?”
This remark poked thin Howard’s soft spot.
Since he was banned from the entertainment circle, Mrs. Old Byran has arranged for her to join the Byran Group, but she has not made any achievements so far. She is respectful to him from top to bottom, but no one trusts her behind her.
For him, it’s better to be an artist in the entertainment industry to have a sense of accomplishment.
Howard’s face was livid and he said angrily, “Amanda Jewell, I called you sister-in-law to give my brother face. Do you really think you are the hostess of the Byran Family? How many people in the Byran Family approve of you? Is there anyone but my brother? ”
He said, smug, and hooked his lips with a smile. “That Su Yingxue is different. My mother and grandmother both like her. You shouldn’t have a good self-examination. Why are you so unpopular?”
Amanda Jewell kept a straight face. “By hook or by crook, this kind of flattery can make Mrs. Old Byran and Aunty Carey like it. No wonder they have raised people like you.”
“You!”
“Sorry, I have something else to do. Help yourself.”
Amanda Jewell was too lazy to talk nonsense with Bo Howard, so she turned and left this place of trouble, looking for a secluded place, and wanted to send a message to Sister Zhang to ask how the child was.
Just looking for a place to make a phone call, I heard the buzz in the corner.
“Mr. Byran came with his wife today. Hey, is the divorce story false before?”
“It’s just for show. Can’t you see that both of them are not together?”
“Isn’t it said that Mr. Byran has a woman outside? It is said that Mrs. Old Byran likes it, and the female painters who come back from abroad don’t seem to have a good family. ”
“No matter what, it’s better than the second marriage. Have you heard that the girl born to Mrs. Bo is not Mr. Byran’s child?”
“I also heard that this woman is not simple and has no background, but there are a lot of men around her. How do you think she can climb to her present position?”
“……”
Amanda Jewell’s face darkened.
Just trying to avoid it, she turned around and almost hit the man’s chest. Her shoulder was caught, and she looked up at a pair of dark eyes, and she was intrigued.
“What news are you talking about? I might as well listen to it. ”
When the cold voice fell, the ladies gossiping in the corner got a fright and turned white one by one.
“Mr. Byran, why are you here?”
In front of several of your wives, Iverson Byran took Amanda Jewell’s shoulder and tightened his hand deliberately, with a straight face. “It’s really idle. There’s nothing to gossip about. You might as well go home and check your own affairs.”
A few people’s faces turned green and white.
There is always a lot of right and wrong in the rich family, but whose family has nothing to worry about? Iverson Byran’s words are tearing their faces apart. A few people look rather miserable, but they dare not offend Iverson Byran.
“Amanda, let’s go. The auction has started.”
Iverson Byran took Amanda Jewell directly and left.
Embraced in her arms, Amanda Jewell’s heartbeat is a little chaotic.
“It’s not your character to shrink back when something happens. Next time you encounter something like this, you’ll hang back on your own. You’re my wife, and no one in Ducco can suffer indignities for you.”
“I just don’t want any trouble.”
“Talking about the Byran Family, it’s them who cause trouble.”
Smell speech, Amanda Jewell Zheng slightly.
The auction has already started, and the first item brought out by the antique shop is a pair of jade earrings, which are green in color. When they are displayed, they attract the eyes of the ladies. Even though Amanda Jewell doesn’t know much about jewelry, it can be seen that these earrings are valuable.
“This is a pair of jade earrings customized by Xiao Huang, the sugar king, for her daughter in the last century. Needless to say, the color and water head start at five hundred thousand yuan. No matter what the final transaction price is, our antiques will donate eighty percent of the transaction price to the mountains …”
On the booth, those earrings were illuminated by the light, which was full of water and attractive light.
“Six hundred thousand.”
“Seven hundred thousand.”
“Eight hundred thousand.”
“……”
It wasn’t until one million five hundred thousand that the outcry gradually subsided.
“Two million.”
When the voice of magnetic sink sounded, Amanda Jewell was stunned and looked at the man beside her in consternation. What does Iverson Byran want to spend two million dollars on this pair of earrings?
The meeting was suddenly quiet.
A pair of earrings suddenly called 2 million? All the old foxes were present, and the charity auction was not such a charity law, so no one immediately followed.
“Mr. Byran?” Curiously, the person in charge of the antique shop asked, “Why is Mr. Byran interested in jewelry? I remember that you prefer to collect calligraphy and painting, which is still behind.”
Iverson Byran calmly said, “It’s just that I suddenly think these earrings look quite suitable for my wife, and I owe my wife a birthday present.”
Amanda Jewell’s eyebrows jumped in surprise.
The guests started talking, especially the women cast envious eyes at Amanda Jewell.
It is said that where a man’s money is, his heart is, and he is so willing to spend money on his wife. It seems that nine times out of ten, those rumors outside are false, and they don’t look like a divorce.
The buzz is fading away.
The auctioneer is ready to drop the hammer. “Two million times …”
“2. 5 million.”
A vigorous voice came from the crowd, composed and powerful, and suddenly overshadowed the full-court noise.
Everyone froze, Amanda Jewell and Iverson Byran turned back and looked at the source of the sound.
