Son In Law Madness novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Necklace And Gown

Before Akio said anything, Yvette spoke up. “Donald, what’s the meaning of this? Don’t you know who Mr. Ono is? It doesn’t matter how much money you have. Mr. Ono is Yatran royalty! A lowly peasant like you can never compare with someone as prestigious as him! So watch yourself, or you’re going to regret it!”

Irene, too, barked, “That’s right! Mr. Ono is an honored guest from Yartran. How dare you treat him with such impertinence? You’re embarrassing all of us here!”

If there was anything Donald hated, it was sycophantic people like them. He glanced at the two women. “You’re blindly worshipping everything foreign while looking down on your own people. Say another word like this and perish.”

His gaze was piercing and cold, lethal like a blade out of its sheath.

It was Akio who broke the silence. “Sit down,” he told the two women before directing his gaze at Sixten. “Carry on.”

Yvette and Irene sat down after sending twin glares at Donald.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was looking at the young man with mixed feelings. She could not understand why he chose to oppose Akio Ono tonight.

Though Lana and the rest wanted to persuade Donald into relenting, they were somehow apprehensive to do so.

Reina could tell that Donald was not in a very good mood. “It’s okay, Donald. I’m here for you no matter what you do,” she said gently.

“Thanks, but I know what I’m doing,” Donald said simply.

“I think everyone should know what’s coming up,” Sixten announced. “The final lot is a necklace and gown personally designed by internationally renowned fashion legend – Ms. Lilith Snowden. That’s right, the necklace and gown are none other than Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night’s Dream!”

Two slender girls came out carrying the sapphire blue gown and the necklace made from Corleon meteorites.

The large screen behind the stage started showing photos of the two items, taken from every angle so that the guests could see how flawless the designer pieces were.

“Those two belonged to you, didn’t they?” Shannon asked Jennifer. “Why are you selling them?”

As Sixten had guessed, Donald, who was twirling the silver fork with his fingers, spoke once again. “Thirty million.”

Akio abruptly slammed a fist on the table. “How dare you! Are you going up against me?”

Donald nodded seriously. “That’s right.”

Everyone gaped, wondering if Donald had a death wish. Even if he has something to say against Akio, he can’t just say it directly to Akio’s face!

“Do you have a grudge against me?” Akio asked dubiously.

Donald ignored him and looked at the auctioneer instead. “Sixten, are you deaf? I just placed a bid of thirty million.”

Sixten gave an enigmatic smile that was also filled with sarcasm. “Thirty million, going once…”
