Chapter 2704


    "Madam, this is firste first serve. This gentleman here has already decided to purchase this jadeite


    and I can’t sell it to you. Please understand!" The saleswoman forced a smile and maintained a polite


    attitude, hoping that Aurelia would settle down.


    "So what? He hasn''t paid, has he? So long as he hasn''t paid, I have the right to buy it!" Aurelia scoffed


    and remained arrogant.


    "But-" The saleswoman was rendered speechless.


    Though Aurelia was ying with words, she was right that Leon was yet to pay and the saleswoman


    could not argue with this logic.


    "Miss Underwood, what''s the meaning of this? You know that Hugh set his eyes on this and you are


    causing trouble on purpose! Don''t you think you are out of line here?" Renee questioned angrily.


    She knew that Aurelia was only fighting over the jadeite to undermine her.


    Facing such provocation, she could not maintain her politeness.


    Naturally, Leon was equally offended.


    He did not know Aurelia and they had no previous conflict, yet she continued to belittle him for not


    deserving Renee and rudelypete for the jadeite he wanted.


    This was out of line and even for someone as good-tempered as Leon, he was inevitably provoked.


    Still, he did not intend to fight with a woman. As a gentleman, he suppressed his anger and did not


    snap.


    "Miss Morrison, I''m afraid I don''t agree with you. Bucky and I came here to purchase jadeites. Isn''t it


    normal that I want to buy something that I’m


    interested in? You can''t just stop me from buying it just because you and your boyfriend set your eyes


    on it!” Aurelia retorted.


    "Why you!" Renee was furious.


    However, the Underwoods were one of the most powerful families in the western region, and Aurelia''s


    status rivaled hers.


    Since Aurelia was determined to take the jadeite from Leon, there was nothing she could do.


    "What do you want, then? There''s only one piece and we are both interested in it. It''s not like this can


    be sold to US all!" Leonughed angrily at Aurelia''s insensible behavior.


    "How about this? Let''s bid against each other and whoever bids the highest price gets it!" Aurelia said

    and nced at Leon in contempt.


    She just learned from Renee that Leon was just a lowly vice president.


    Leon could not possiblypare to her or Bucky in terms of wealth and status.


    If they bid against one another, Leon would not stand a chance.


    That way, she could defeat Leon and Renee and get them to admit their shorings, thus killing two


    birds with one stone.
