Chapter 1390
"Forty-three million dollars?’ "This statue is worth forty-three million? That's absurd!"
The audience was utterly stunned to learn of the jadeite statue's worth. Although they all hailed from rich and powerful families, 43 million was still not a small number, and they could not believe how generous Leon was to turn down an offer of 43 million dollars just to use this jadeite for Patrick's birthday!
None of them ever heard of such generous behavior in their lives, not even amongst the major families!
"Splendid, absolutely splendid!" Patrick burst into laughter as all his disapproval toward Leon dissipated with this discovery. Not only was he satisfied with the priceless gift Leon gave him, but he was also happy because Leon's display of generosity reflected well on him.
Elders like him placed utmost importance on their egos, and Leon successfully managed to make him and the rest of the Scammells look good in front of everyone!
One could only imagine his joy!
"How could this be?" the color drained from Nigel's face as his heart sank. He looked forward to humiliating Leon with his ice-clear jadeite, but never did he dream that Leon's gift would turn out to be worth dozens more than his!
However, all of them thought these were just rumors, and never once did they dream this would be true!
"Penny, did they say that Leon taught willie Liberton a lesson? What is this? " Damian was shocked to hear this and immediately shot Penny a questioning glance.
"What?"
"Well, when Leon was trying to bid for the Imperial Purple Amethyst, Willie deliberately messed with him and caused him to end up bidding an extra fourteen or so million dollars to get the stone. Leon tried to get revenge by deliberately hiking up the price for the third jadeite, which led Willie to fall for his trick and end up not only wasting thirty million dollars but becoming the laughingstock of the town as well," Penny explained.
