Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 966

Davy was suddenly filled with fighting spirit too. He was feeling extremely uplifted. “Okay! The auction will start at 2PM. I’ll make preparations at once!”

When they arrived outside the auction venue, Aristotle was fast asleep. Mark told Mary to hold onto him in the car. It would be inappropriate to bring a baby to such a stiff event.

His guess was right. Alejandro came too, and he had Jett attend the event. Alejandro waited outside in the car.

The auction this time was a clear struggle between two elites and no one else. Mark had given a price that no one else dared to raise, from the very beginning. Only Alejandro’s lackey, Jett, was willing to contend against him. He looked at Jett and continued raising the price, showing no signs of emotion.

He wasn’t the impulsive type. If Alejandro, in a bid to release his frustrations, were to raise the price to sky-high rates, then sell it to him, that would undoubtedly prove that he had been cheated. He would give up if the price reached a certain amount.

A few rounds later, the price had been raised to what others would consider “sky-high”. Even the host was finding difficulty in holding his microphone steadily. Mark clearly hesitated when he called out his price. Jett deliberately shot him a sardonic stare. His eyes darkened. Just as everyone else began to think that he would raise the price, he said, “I concede.”

Jett seemed slightly surprised. Mark ignored him. He got up and immediately left the venue.

The final price for this land simply wasn’t worth it. If Alejandro liked it that much, he could have it.

Alejandro may look like he was smiling, but his eyes were flashing with an eerie chill. It’s true, the price he had paid for this piece of land wasn’t worth it at all. However, he had beaten Mark once again, which was his goal. Now, Mark was taunting him like a fool. Of course, it angered him. However, he couldn’t show it. The first one to lose his temper loses.

Suddenly, Aristotle wiggled his way towards the car window, allowing a peek of his tiny little face. It was as if he was wondering who was talking to his daddy. Alejandro was taken by surprise. This baby was certainly more likeable than the adults. He had an utterly adorable little expression on his face. He smiled faintly at Aristotle then closed the window.

Jett was concerned. “Sir, Master Smith has been making inquiries over your perpetual land purchases. He’s just called today, asking what you’re doing… s-saying… that regardless of how much money the Smiths have, this is no way to spend it…”

Alejandro closed his eyes calmly, leaned against the back of the car to rest, and replied, “I’m now the only heir to the Smith fortune. The authority is mine. I can do whatever I want. He can’t control me.”
