133 Apology
Martin looked at Vivian with a vicious look. His previous lust had completely disappeared, and he now wanted to kill Vivian with his eyes!
If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have ended up in this state!
Martin pointed at Vivian and yelled, “Stinky woman! Don’t try to drive a wedge between us, we brothers fell out because of you!”
Vivian looked at him in disbelief. “What’s wrong with you? Do you think we’re blind? You’re trying to fool us! The people at the scene clearly saw how the bet was made. You failed to scheme against others and got yourself into it, and you still have the nerve to push it onto me, someone you’ve set up? You’re a man. Don’t you have any shame?”
Jack felt that he had been blind in the past. He had thought that although this person’s private life was a little messy, he should have placed great importance on his reputation in the business world. Now, he had found a problem after a test.
Seeing that the boss had specifically asked him to take care of Vivian, who had been shot innocently, Jack felt that he had to make his stand clear at this time. “Martin, only four people are participating in the bet. You were the one who insisted on setting a sky-high price as a wager. Now that you’ve lost, you don’t admit it and push the blame on a weak woman. It’s really ungentlemanly of you! Please apologize to Miss Vivian immediately!”
Vivian competed by herself, while the two men under Matthew were unknown. On the other hand, Martin had a keen eye and a famous stone-gambling expert behind him who was well-known in the industry. The current situation could be said to be clear at a glance.
“He even said that they set him up. It’s so obvious. Is he afraid that others don’t know his little plan?”
“I heard that he’s the one in charge of the family. It’s hard to keep his reputation.”
“That’s true. I don’t dare to go there anymore. If I buy a fake one from his family’s jewelry store, we might not even have a place to defend our rights.”
The whispers of the people around him made Martin feel as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water from head to toe. He realized that now was not the time to act on impulse. He could not argue with Vivian on impulse anymore. He had to find a way to stop Jack from bidding for so many items.
Thinking of this, Martin said to Vivian with a stiff face, “Miss Vivian, I’m sorry.”
Vivian was not a saint who could make up for being schemed against and hurt by malicious words with an apology. She glanced at Martin without saying anything.
Seeing this, Martin thought that Vivian had silently forgiven him, so he turned to Jack and said with a smile, “Jack, I’ve done something wrong, so please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me. You can’t bear to force me to lose my family, right? I have the elderly and the young to take care of.”
Martin knew that the hard way wouldn’t work, so he decided to use the soft way.
Jack wasn’t a cruel person, and he didn’t really want to mess with Martin. Even if he bought everything, if he couldn’t afford it, Martin wouldn’t be able to afford it.
At that time, his reputation would be destroyed, and he would lose the position of the family master. If Martin cut off all means of retreat and put the blame on him, the two would become mortal enemies, and it would not be worth it.
However, Jack was absolutely unwilling to let Martin go so easily.
If word of this got out, people would think that he was easy to bully and anyone could step on him. How was he going to continue in this industry?
“I’m also someone who has a family to raise,” Jack said slowly. “I won’t be so cruel as to destroy your family. But now, everyone here knows our prize, and I’m here on behalf of the jewelry industry. We need quality goods, so I must bid for good raw stones. I’m just an employee! How about this? I’ll bid for what I want as usual, and you’ll pay for the highest-priced raw stone for me.”
When Martin heard this, he immediately thought of the raw stone that was most likely to produce Imperial Green. At the moment, the estimated auction price is 80 million Yuan. However, famous jewelry stores were here for this premium product this time. When he thought that he would not be able to get this gemstone and had to pay for it, Martin’s face turned ugly.
But he had no choice. Martin gritted his teeth and lowered his eyes to hide the anger in his eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly replied, “Alright, I agree.”
Jack felt a little better when he saw Martin holding his anger.
This was killing two birds with one stone. What was the best thing about an auction? That was to not think about money and raise the cards in your hands all the way to the end!
