Master Blair's Fiery Pursuit
Chapter 59

“Am I seeing it wrongly?!"

Rahman rubbed his eyes again and again to confirm that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. “Mabes, why is there a portrait of you?!" Mable was also surprised to see her portrait here.

“Who drew it?’

She held up her sign without saying a word.

“Could it be that guy who has a crush on you?!" Rahman teased her. The host did not have much to say about the painting and did not mention who it was from.

Nonetheless, it could be seen from the enlarged details on the projection that the painting was perfect. The subject's eyes and expressions were very real and soulful.

Mable thought that no one would bid for the painting. Unexpectedly, the owner of the opposite booth also raised his sign.

The windows of each booth were one-way glass. The people inside could see outside, but not the other way around.

Mable raised her sign again to raise the bid.

The other party followed suit.

Rahman glanced at the opposite booth several times. “I bet the person in the opposite booth is your admirer!”

Otherwise, that person would not be spending so much money on this painting. After all, it was not from a famous artist or worth much.

After a few rounds of going back and forth, the painting, with a price tag of 400,000 dollars, had reached seven figures.

The person in the opposite booth directly put his number sign on the table.

It obviously meant he would follow no matter how much Mable raised the bid.

Mable hesitated for a moment before giving up.

Rahman saw her put down her sign and urged, “Keep raising the bid. I'm not short of money.”

“The painting is useless to me. Since the person likes it, let him have it.”

Mable paused, then added, “Once the auction ends, find out where the painting came from.”

That was her intention.

“Alright.”

At last, the painting was successfully bid by the person in the opposite booth for 1.8 million dollars.

Similarly, Mable was not much interested in the next few auction items. The person in the opposite booth also did not raise his sign anymore. “The following item is the final auction item of the night, Pharoah's Scepter!”

Mable stood up abruptly and asked the staff next to her. “Why is it the final item already? Aren't there two more items on the list?"

The staff shook his head as he did not know why.

Mable was here tonight only for the two items. She had prepared the money and was determined not to leave without them.

Apart from Mable, there were others who also came for the last two items. They made a scene after hearing what the host said.

In the end, Salomon’s second in charge walked out and explained, “Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but the last two items of this auction, the Ice Jade Flower and the A117 reagent, were bought before the auction started.”

“Selling items before an auction? Aren't you breaking the rules by doing that?"

“I'm sorry, but it was a special guest.”

“What should we do?” Rahman looked at Mable.

Mable had been searching for the Ice Jade Flower for many years. Finally, it was almost in her grasp when someone got in the way. There was also the A117 reagent. That man would not allow someone else to snatch away what he wanted.

Mable exercised her wrist coldly. “Since I can't buy them, I'll snatch them!”

No matter what, she must get those two things!

After the auction ended, Mable was about to get someone to look into the buyer when Salomon’s second in charge approached her first. “Ms. Sonora, this is the buyer's contact information. If you're really interested in the last two items, you can contact him. If the price is right, he might resell them to you.”

Mable looked at him in shock.

Salomon had always kept their buyers’ information confidential unless the other party requested to disclose their information.

Mable took the business card and froze when she saw the name and number.

Rahman rolled his eyes at the second in charge and said to Mable softly, “Maybe they still have those items and haven't sold them at all. They're doing this to raise the bidding price.

“Mabes, how could it be... Blair?!"

Rahman pointed at the business card in Mable’s hand. He was utterly shocked!
