Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Everyone was thinking that Horace was throwing in big money for a crap, but none dared gossip about him.

They all started to think of Clara from a new perspective and envied her. Horace really loved her. How lucky she was!

Clara hadn't expected that Horace was willing to spend that much money on her amulet. He must be afraid that someone might get it, so he soared the price. He was intelligent.

However, one million was too much money.

Everyone thought that there should be no bidders now. Only rich idiots would keep raising the price.

Before Clara could thank Horace, Darren suddenly raised his hand.

He said in a loud voice, "One million and a hundred grand!"

Everyone took a deep breath. There was really such a fool! What was happening? It was weird enough that someone donated an amulet for auction, and now there were two men fighting for it?

Did the amulet really work that well? Everyone was confused. If not, why would two Kirkland men fight for it?

What the hell was Darren doing? Ashlee couldn't help but curse him in her heart.

Clara turned to look at Horace. Would he keep bidding or would he give up? She wished he wouldn't give up and that he would fight for her amulet as hard as he did for Laura's pen. At least, it would mean that she was equally as important as Laura to him.

Horace looked calm. Staring at the amulet, he raised the bid again.

"One million and two hundred grand."

"One thousand and three hundred grand!" Darren followed. The amulet was important to Clara. He had always wanted to protect Clara and be her backup, this might be the only way he could compensate her.

"One million and four hundred grand!"

"One million and five hundred grand."

They kept bidding.
