Chapter 813 Settled With a knock off the Gavel

A look of despair appeared on Oscars face.

He never expected that Lucas would rather be mocked by him than take over this troublesome matter!

What could he do now

“Is anyone else bidding a higher price for this plot of land

“The highest bid now is three hundred and fifty million dollars.

Three hundred and fifty million, going once!

“Three hundred and fifty million, going twice!”

The auctioneer didnt care about their arguing at all.

He raised the auction gavel in his hand enthusiastically.

Oscar looked so sullen at the moment that aghast was not enough to describe his expression.

He appeared extremely nervous, and he was sweating profusely.

In fact, he was panic-stricken.

He had always prided himself on being the smartest person in the Smith family.

After learning that Vince was stripped of his position as the familys successor because he had embarrassed the family, Oscar had been feeling extremely smug.

He even assumed that he was already set to become the future helmsman of the Smiths.

But he had bid 350 million dollars now, and if he couldnt come up with the money, the Smiths would definitely remove him as a successor for embarrassing the family!

But regardless of how unwilling he was, the gavel in the auctioneers eventually fell!

“Three hundred and fifty million, going thrice!”

Smack!

With the sound of the gavel, it meant that this auction was officially set in stone and could no longer be changed!

The auctioneer, whose face was flushed, shouted agitatedly, “Come on, lets congratulate todays winner, Mr.

Smith! Congratulations to Mr.

Smith for successfully winning the auction for the land by the river at a price of three hundred and fifty million dollars! Congratulations!”

“Congratulations!”

“Three hundred and fifty million is a sky-high price!”

“As expected of one of the Smiths of DC, how wealthy and powerful.

Impressive!”

Everyone applauded and congratulated Oscar.

But many of them were looking at him like he was a fool.

Although the land by the Sierra River was good, the total area was less than 10,000 square meters, and the actual usable area was even smaller.

Yet he spent 350 million dollars on it.

Regardless of what he used it for, it would definitely incur losses!

Even if he built another Haven Manor, he wouldnt be able to recoup his various investments and construction costs.

Moreover, Oscar had said that he would use the land as a public cemetery.

It was a huge waste that was akin to throwing away 350 million dollars.

The Smiths were probably the only ones who would have such a wastrel of an heir!

Despite being surrounded by people congratulating him, Oscar didnt process a single word they said but instead remained sitting limply.

He had only wanted to force Lucas to compromise and surrender to him, which was why he had wanted to snatch the land from him and provoked him by saying he would build a cemetery on it.

But he didnt expect to end up landing himself in trouble!

“Uncle Oscar, you are really courageous.

Its no wonder youre a Smith! Its really rare for anyone to be so generous as to spend three hundred and fifty million dollars on a plot of land in a place like Orange County!

“If word of this gets back to DC, Im afraid many people will envy the Smiths financial power.

“But frankly speaking, I wouldnt dare to do such a thing because Id be afraid of people thinking that Im out of my mind for spending so much money on a plot of land in this county.

Im not as thick-skinned as you are, Uncle Oscar!

“But I just dont know what the helmsman and the other members of the Smiths will think after hearing about this.

Haha, what do you think, Uncle Oscar”

Despite smiling, Pamela was kicking Oscar when he was down and rubbing salt into his wound.

Oscars face turned darker with every word she said.

Her words were like knives stabbing his heart.

Infuriated, Oscar suddenly stood up and yelled at Pamela, “Shut up! Shut up! “Its all your fault for creating trouble, you little bitch.

Yet youre still being sarcastic to me.

If you dare to utter another word, I will immediately get someone to strip you naked and show you to the public!”

He was now extremely annoyed and furious at Pamela.

The moment he spoke, he issued a vicious threat.

“You… you…” Pamela was exasperated.

No matter what, she was only a young woman of 25 years old.

She turned beet red in embarrassment after being humiliated and threatened in public.

At this moment, the auctioneer walked over and asked cautiously, “Mr.

Smith, since youve won the auction for this land, may I ask… how you would like to pay for it”

Although he now knew that Oscar was a member of the Smiths in DC, after hearing his conversation with the stunning beauty, the auctioneer felt rather worried.

If Oscar won the auction but wasnt willing to pay, things would get tricky.

Oscar was in a terrible mood right now.

After the auctioneer asked him this question, he immediately snapped in annoyance, “This auction isnt valid!”

He pointed at Pamela and cursed angrily, “Its all this little bitchs fault.

If she hadnt deliberately bid up the price, I wouldnt have placed this bid! This auction doesnt count at all!”

Oscars brazen words immediately caused everyone around him to be in disbelief.

Hes going back on his words Is he joking

They began to wonder if this person in front of them was really the future successor of the Smiths, one of the eight great families of DC.

“Haha, this is really funny!” Pamela sneered.

“Its an embarrassment to the Smiths to have a successor like you!

“Auctions are all fair bidding.

If you think I deliberately bid up the price, you could have chosen not to bid after me!

“The person who bid three hundred and fifty million is you.

No one held you at gunpoint and forced you to place that bid.”

Oscar said angrily, “You just admitted yourself that you dont have the money on hand, nor do you have the right to use the Howards assets.

Yet you still bid three hundred million.

Werent you deliberately raising the price”

Refusing to give in, Pamela retorted, “I did bid three hundred million.

But if you thought that what I did wasnt right and you couldnt afford it, you shouldnt have bid more than me! At that time, it would have been my problem whether or not I could afford it.

It would have had nothing to do with you.

“But you insisted on competing with me, or rather, you insisted on trumping the Howards, so you bid three hundred and fifty million.

Is it my fault”

“According to your logic, in the future, no one should bid against you in any auctions that youre participating in.

You should be the only one bidding.

Otherwise, everyone else will be raising prices on purpose!

“Also, whenever the Smiths bid high prices to pressure others but cant afford to pay, they can also invalidate the auction by accusing others of raising prices on purpose, huh “I must tell my father and grandfather, as well as other families in DC, about this so that they can judge if the Smiths have the right to change the rules of auctions at will!

Pamela was sharp-tongued, and her words struck a sour note in Oscar.

It was almost as if she was scolding him for blaming others for his act of stupidity.

Oscar was so enraged that he was about to lose his mind.

“Bitch, youre courting death! Dont think I dont dare to deal with you!”

Pamela wasnt afraid.

“What do you want If you dare to touch me, my grandfather will definitely not let you off!”

“Hmph, as long as I dont kill you, what can your grandfather do to me Are the Smiths afraid of the Howards” Oscar said sinisterly while staring at Pamelas pretty face and svelte figure.

All of a sudden, there was malice all over his face.

“Im going to strip you naked here and show everyone the most beautiful side of a woman from the Howard family! Hehe, would your grandfather dare to make a fuss and bring this matter up again

“Invincible Phantom Hands, go strip this woman naked.

Fully naked!” With Oscars order, Invincible Phantom Hands, who was standing behind him, immediately rushed toward Pamela!
