"50th birthday? Look up the date when we get back, Zander."
Sean glanced at the defiant-looking Curtis and said.
Zander nodded and looked at Curtis with a sneer. His eyes were full of glee from the misery Curtis was about to
suffer.
Once Sean found out the date of Old Master Lake's 50th birthday, he would surely give him an unforgettable gift.
"Mr. Lake here is offering 450 million. Is there anyone else looking to bid further?"
The auctioneer asked with a smile.
However, the disdain in her eyes intensified.

She was full of contempt when she saw how arrogant Curtis was.
He was only from a noble family in Ocean City, yet he behaved so arrogantly.
"Sweetie, stop asking around. Just announce the result. I think everyone here is willing to do me a favor!"
Curtis gazed at the auctioneer on stage and said with a chuckle.
The auctioneer glanced at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Lake, there's a rule for everything. A mere auctioneer like

Hearing Curtis' bid, the auctioneer's already extremely beautiful face smiled, and she looked more beautiful.
As an auctioneer, she naturally hoped she could get the highest price possible for the auction lots.
