The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 310 - Beauty No. 1

Chapter 310 - Beauty No. 1

The current bid for Beauty No. 10 had already quintupled from 300,000 to 1.5 million dollars. It was indeed quite an enormous amount.

Many of the people in the auction hall actually just wanted to buy a beautiful woman and use her as a plaything, but 1.5 million dollars was too expensive in their opinion.

Besides, she was only the first beauty put up for auction, and there were many more to come. Everyone felt that it wouldn't make sense to spend so much money on a woman when they haven't seen the others yet.

So almost everyone gave up and stopped bidding.

"1.5 million dollars, going once!

"1.5 million dollars, going twice!

"1.5 million dollars, going thrice! Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Gray. You have successfully bought Beauty No. 10!"

Symbolic applause filled the air in the hall, but many were looking at Lucas with bizarre gazes, as if mocking him for being a wealthy but foolish dimwit.

Lena, beside Lucas, also looked at him in extreme disbelief. "You actually spent 1.5 million dollars on a beauty! Cheyenne will definitely be upset with you when she finds out! But that's not the point. What are you going to do to her now that you've bought her? Is she going to be your kept mistress?"

Lucas smiled faintly. "So, are you going to tell Cheyenne about this?"

"Uh…" Lena was stumped after hearing Lucas's righteous tone.

Logically speaking, Lena was Cheyenne's best friend, and now that Lucas had spent so much money to buy a woman, she naturally should tell Cheyenne about it.

But if she really told Cheyenne about it, it would definitely spark a conflict and a heated argument between Lucas and Cheyenne. Worse still, it might even affect their family, which was something that Lena didn't want to see. What should I do? Should I tell Cheyenne?

While she was feeling conflicted, another beauty, Beauty No. 9, was pushed onto the auction stage, once again sparking a commotion among the guests.

The reason being was that Beauty No. 9 was much more beautiful than Beauty No. 10.

It seemed that the beauties to be auctioned were arranged in ascending order in terms of their beauty and figures. Each beauty was prettier than the one auctioned before her.

In that case, there should be eight more beauties to be put on display.

"The starting bid for Beauty No. 9 is 300,000 dollars, and the minimum bid increment is 15,000 dollars. Bidding starts now!" the emcee once again exclaimed. The starting bid was the same as that for Beauty No. 10, but the bidding was even more intense.

"450,000!"

"620,000!"

"700,000!"

...

"1.2 million!"

"1.5 million!"

When the bid price went above a million dollars, Lucas once again bid 1.5 million dollars.

Everyone once again looked at Lucas, this time with even more displeasure in their gazes.

He had just bought one beauty, but he actually continued to bid for the second one too!

He seemed to be depriving others of a chance to bid for the beauties.

Of course, the emcee on the stage seemed extremely excited. Since it was an auction, the rule of highest bidder wins naturally applied. To them, it would definitely be better if there were more guests like Lucas who generously offered high prices!

Only when there was fierce compet.i.tion would the bids go higher. As the auctioneer, they would then be able to make a greater profit!

Because the price Lucas offered was too high, no one placed any more bids after him, and he similarly bought Beauty No. 9.

At this moment, Lena glared at Lucas with a hostile gaze.

"Lucas, you actually bought a second girl! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to be like some of the rich and famous who like having orgies?" Lena questioned angrily.

Lucas looked at Lena speechlessly. Do I seem like such a person?

But the auction was still in progress, so he couldn't explain much to her at this point. He decided to keep mum and ignore Lena, who glowered at him furiously before turning to the side.

Sitting on the other side of Lucas, Bruce looked at him with various emotions in his gaze.

Bruce was well aware that Lucas was a morally upright person who would never touch anything related to the vices. And in fact, he even abhorred them to the extent that he barred Bruce from operating any vice-related businesses.

Therefore, he knew that Lucas definitely didn't spend three million dollars so far on those two women for the sake of doing business with the Kingstons.

Next, as Bruce guessed, Lucas not only bought the first two girls, but he bought the next seven put up for auction as well.

There were only ten beauties for auction in total, and Lucas had already bought nine of them!

This made countless people who failed to win any exasperated.

During the process, there were also some who were enraged and tried to raise the price to s.n.a.t.c.h a beauty from Lucas.

But he kept offering a much higher price than each bid they placed, which far exceeded their limit.

After some time, they had no choice but to give up despite being reluctant to do so.

There was nothing else they could do. They were just as hopeless!

In terms of family a.s.sets, they did not necessarily have less than Lucas. But during an auction, what mattered was liquid a.s.sets! No one could beat Lucas in this aspect.

Lucas had a Black Diamond Card that ent.i.tled him to withdraw five billion dollars from any bank. Who would dare to compete with him in terms of the amount of cash they had on hand?

At this point, Lena finally discovered that something was amiss. Regardless of how lascivious Lucas was, it didn't quite make sense for him to buy nine girls at once.

Wouldn't he be afraid of ruining his…? Lena blushed at the thought, but she was relieved too.

Amid the bizarre tension that arose due to the indignation of many guests, the auction progressed towards its end.

"Next, let us welcome the final beauty of the night, Beauty No. 1!"

As the emcee exclaimed loudly, the last gla.s.s display case, similarly covered with satin, was slowly pushed toward the middle of the auction stage.

As the emcee introduced the details and measurements of Beauty No. 1, the red satin slowly slipped onto the ground, revealing the ravis.h.i.+ng beauty who was gorgeous and ethereal like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world!

Lucas suddenly narrowed his eyes with a cold and menacing gaze.

The 'auction item' in the last display case was naturally Lucas's target, Grace!

Unlike during the previous two occasions where Lucas had met Grace, she was not barefaced and dressed plainly this time. Grace, now placed in a gla.s.s display case like an object for sale, had obviously been dolled up meticulously.

She had exquisite makeup on her face that, coupled with her stunning features, made her look like a cla.s.sic beauty who walked straight out of a painting. With a fl.u.s.tered and timid look on her face, she looked just like a princess in distress at this moment, and she immediately aroused the desire of all the men present!

"The starting bid for our final beauty, Beauty No. 1, is 1.5 million dollars! The minimum bid increment is 80,000 dollars. The bidding starts now!"
