Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 131 Ten Million

Everyone was thinking that Horace was throwing in big money for a crap, but none dared gossip about

him.

They all started to think of Clara from a new perspective and envied her. Horace really loved her. How

lucky she was!

Clara hadn't expected that Horace was willing to spend that much money on her amulet. He must be

afraid that someone might get it, so he soared the price. He was intelligent.

However, one million was too much money.

Everyone thought that there should be no bidders now. Only rich idiots would keep raising the price.

Before Clara could thank Horace, Darren suddenly raised his hand.

He said in a loud voice, "One million and a hundred grand!"

Everyone took a deep breath. There was really such a fool! What was happening? It was weird enough

that someone donated an amulet for auction, and now there were two men fighting for it?

Did the amulet really work that well? Everyone was confused. If not, why would two Kirkland men fight

for it?

What the hell was Darren doing? Ashlee couldn't help but curse him in her heart.

Clara turned to look at Horace. Would he keep bidding or would he give up? She wished he wouldn't NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

give up and that he would fight for her amulet as hard as he did for Laura's pen. At least, it would mean

that she was equally as important as Laura to him.

Horace looked calm. Staring at the amulet, he raised the bid again.

"One million and two hundred grand."

"One thousand and three hundred grand!" Darren followed. The amulet was important to Clara. He had

always wanted to protect Clara and be her backup, this might be the only way he could compensate

her.

"One million and four hundred grand!"

"One million and five hundred grand."

They kept bidding.

The other bidders had all turned into on-lookers, watching the two raising the price.

The Kirklands were really generous! If they had known how much the Kirkland family loved amulets,

they would have given out the amulets they had for the auction.

"Darren, stop this!" Ashlee said to Darren in a low voice.

Ashlee hated Clara to the guts. It turned out that her Hermès purse wasn't as valuable as the crappy

amulet Clara's mom left her? What was this? How could Clara steal her thunder with a crappy amulet?

If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have traded the diamond necklace.

She was more pissed with Darren, who was still fighting for this amulet with Horace. Everyone could

see why he was doing this,

How embarrassing this was for her! Her glory just now had become a joke!

The host was so excited that he kept swallowing and said, "This is thrilling! Thank you, Mr. Darren

Kirkland and Mr. Horace Kirkland! Thank you for your appreciation and kindness for our event!"

"Two million!" Horace raised his bidding plate again and said without hesitation.

"Oh! Two million! We have a two-million!" the host said, his hand shaking from excitement.

Horace sneered.

Darren Kirkland, you think this will be your shot at winning Clara's favor?

You're wrong! You will never stand a chance at getting Clara!

On the other side, Darren had taken this as a vent for all his jealous and fear for Horace. He wanted to

crush Horace's confidence.

He gritted his teeth and raised his bidding plate.

"Three million!"

Ashlee felt heartbroken. "Darren, why are you still defending Clara?"

Everyone looked at Darren. They could understand that Horace was doing this for his wife, but why did

Darren Kirkland want to get the amulet so much?

"Darren, is this really necessary?" Ashlee couldn't help it anymore and asked.

"Well, you started this. You have to pay the price for your own doing," Darren answered.

"What…" Ashlee chocked on her words.

Darren knew the story behind the amulet and he knew Ashlee so well that he didn't need to investigate

to be sure it was her who did this,

Clara didn't know why Darren was so obsessed with her amulet, but she didn't want him to get it. She

hoped Horace could win it. Even if he didn't return it to her, she wanted the amulet her mother gave her

to be kept in the hands of the man she loved.

Darren, you think this can help you get Clara back? You are terribly wrong. You will never win!

Horace was determined.

He had done playing this game with Darren and lost his patience. This was going too slow, why should

he waste him time on Darren?

He raised his bidding plate again. This time, he wouldn't leave Darren any chance.

"Ten million!" he said.

The crowed was in an uproar. This had made history in the auction house. Ten million for an amulet?

The amulet wouldn't worth so much even if it was made of diamonds!

The host said in a trembling voice, "Ten… Ten million dollars! Are there any more bidders?"

Darren held his bidding plate and didn't want to give up.

He could continue, he could.

Ashlee couldn't take anymore of Darren's craziness. Was Clara's amulet worth all this?

Did he even see her here? Was he going to spend all their money on an amulet? She couldn't let him!

She grabbed his hand that was about to raise again and said in a low voice, "Are you insane, Darren?

What are you going to me? Ten million? Your dad won't give you that much money!"

She was right. Even if he succeeded in winning the amulet, his father would be pissed and couldn't get

that much money in short time. It seemed that he had to give up.

"Horace, he was so damn serious! I'm sorry, Clara." Darren apologized in his heart, frustrated.

The host continued in a trembling voice, "Ten million, once! Ten million, twice! Ten million, sold!"

Horace got it.

The host waved his hand. "Congratulations, Mr. Kirkland!"

Darren was disappointed in himself and felt down. He was not interested in the auction anymore and

looked listless.

Again, he lost to Horace.

"Thank you," Clara said to Horace with gratitude.

Horace grabbed her hand and held it in his left palm. At this moment, they needed no words. They

were in the same place with the goal, which was to love the other and make the other happy.

Everyone was in shock and envy.

Mr. Kirkland really loved his wife. The pen he bought was now nothing compared to his wife's amulet.
