Ambrose’s expression instantly changed and he immediately gave Horton a look, signalling him to not
act rashly. At the same time, Ambrose walked over and asked, “Mr. Leonard, do you and Matthew know
each other?”
Hearing this, Leonard chuckled and replied, “Not only do we know each other, Mr. Larson is…”
He originally wanted to say that Matthew had the best medical skills he had ever seen. However, he
recalled that Matthew had said that he didn’t want to disclose his medical skills to the outside world,
which was why he changed his words in time. “Mr. Larson is a good friend of mine. Besides that, he and
Billy Newman from Eastcliff are also close friends!”
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar. Roman, Richard, and Norris all
turned pale. Although Herman had commented that they were more powerful than Billy, the three of them
knew that they were no match for Billy at all!
Matthew is Billy Newman’s friend? Then he definitely has the right to bid!
Ambrose was also stunned and he couldn’t help but take another look at Matthew. Is Crystal’s current
boyfriend really so powerful?
At that moment, Zanya, who was behind them, anxiously said, “Mr. Leonard, h-have you mistaken him
for someone else? I know that man. He’s just a live-in son-in-law! He lives in Eastcliff and his family is
extremely poor. He also has a sister who almost died of illness because they didn’t have money to bring
her to the doctor. For 100,000, he became a live-in son-in-law and leeches off his wife for a living. How is
it possible that he’s friends with Billy Newman? Have you mistaken him for someone else? I think the
man you’re talking about is just someone that looks like him.”
With a cold expression, Leonard solemnly said, “Are you saying that there is something wrong with my
eyesight? How can I ever not recognize Mr. Larson? I know about the things you said. However, Mr.
Larson and Miss Cunningham are truly in love. No matter what, I respect Mr. Larson’s choices, and I
respect his behavior even more!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience gasped again.
Matthew is really a live-in son-in-law? Why does Leonard respect a live-in son-in-law so much?
As for Ambrose, he frowned and turned to look at Crystal. At that moment, Crystal was staring at
Matthew and her gaze was full of tenderness and affection. Seeing this, Ambrose felt very upset.
He had been rescued by Joseph, and he himself had a daughter in his early years who had died at the
hands of his enemies. When Joseph saved him, Crystal, who so happened to be about the same age as
his daughter, was with him. This was why he regarded Crystal as a daughter of his own.
This was also the reason Horton greeted and treated Crystal with respect. Now that Crystal found a
married, who was also a live-in son-in-law, to be her boyfriend, it made him very unhappy.
Could it be that Matthew deceived Crystal?
Even though Ambrose was puzzled, he didn’t ask any questions.
“Since he is a friend of Mr. Leonard’s, of course he is eligible to take part in the auction! Horton, prepare
a seat for Mr. Larson on stage,” Ambrose said softly.
Horton immediately set up a seat and invited Matthew to come on stage.
Seeing this, Zanya and the others were completely flabbergasted.
Matthew can actually be on equal footing with those big shots?
Just then, Don suddenly chuckled and said, “That b*stard is suicidal!”
Surprised, Zanya asked, “What are you talking about? He was invited on stage. How is that suicidal?”
Don sneered, “The current auction is at a stalemate because those big shots all want the magical
artifact. In this situation, how do you think the final decision will be made on the ownership of the magical
artifact?”
Zanya replied, “This is an auction, so of course the person who offers the highest price gets the item.”
After hearing this, Don shook his head and sneered, “That’s not the case! Ambrose’s auction has rules.
In order to prevent malicious bidding, if there is a stalemate in the auction, they will use another way to
decide the ownership of this item!”
