EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 32

Elijah had been waiting there for a long time, but he did not see Suny coming about, so he felt that this woman was so foxy.

After leaving Phantom, he didn't even go back to his company and went straight to Austin.

Austin was invited to attend an auction today. He originally did not want to go, but there was something he wanted at the auction, but he did not expect to run into Elijah as soon as he left his office.

"Austin, it's rare that you get off work on time!"

Austin didn't even give him a look: "Have you seen Suny?"

Elijah: "......I think this Suny is really a ghost, I've been waiting at the door of Phantom all day, but I haven't even seen her!"

"You've seen her before?"

"No, and that is why I want to meet her!"

Austin thought Elijah was a retard, he snorted, "You haven't seen her before, then how did you determine that the person who came out was her?"

Obviously, Elijah also realized this problem, "Holy shit, I'm the one who's stupid!!!"

He said, thinking of Suny's words, "But your ex-wife said this Suny is pretty."

Elijah rubbed his chin, "I think with my handsomeness and dashing, I can have a 90% chance of taking her, then I can avenge my previous disgusting then!"

Austin coldly snorted and directly took out his car keys and opened the door.

Only now did Elijah respond, "Want to have dinner together?"

Austin sat inside the car and looked at him disgustedly: "You're so free today?"

"I'm not as busy as you."

But all he heard in response was the sound of the car door closing.

"Hey..."

When Elijah reacted, Austin's car could already be driven out from the parking space.

However, he was thick-skinned and directly got into his car and followed Austin, having dinner together and following Austin to the auction today.

Suny had entered early, Alicia had gone to record the show, so she came alone after dinner.

So when Austin and Elijah came in, she saw them right away.

She was in the back of the general seats, and there were not many people at the moment, so Austin obviously saw her too. But he just took a glance and went up to the second floor booths.

Suny raised her eyebrows and took out her phone to reply Alicia's message.

But her luck tonight was really bad, not only she ran into Austin, she actually ran into Austin's troublemaking sister and bitchy first love as well.

Tina came in with Jennifer, who had just returned from a trip to the sea. When Jennifer found out that Austin was coming over tonight, she asked for two tickets and brought Tina with her.

Both of them didn't see Suny and went straight up to the second floor.

At exactly eight o'clock, the venue was already full and the auction had begun.

Suny's goal was clear, she had come today for that one piano.

It was a piano made by the master pianist himself for his pianist wife in the 1960s, called "Beloved", which took more than three years to polish and tune. But his wife died due to cancer short after the piano was made.

After his wife's death, the master never developed another piano, and after his death, his children donated the piano to a museum, which later closed down and the piano was auctioned off to his wife by a businessman for $150,000.

The piano was later brought back to the country by the businessman, but his descendants were extremely mediocre, and his wife had to sell the piano to cover her gambling debts because her eldest son was in debt.

The "Beloved" changed its owners several times, and the price was not what it used to be, before it ended up in the hands of an auction house.

The auction house saw the meaning behind "Beloved" and started to have people promote it in the circle half a year ago, and tonight they were bound to sell it for a high price.

Suny was here today for the sake of "Beloved", she certainly did not have any musical talent and was not auctioning this piano for her own use.

The chairman of Greensource wanted to emigrate and was in the process of selling off her shares.

Suny wanted her shares, but Suny was not the only one she was in contact with at the same time, so as a gesture of good faith, she put her thoughts on this "beloved" piano.

Suny's goal was clear, and as the finale of the evening, "Beloved" was naturally the last to shine.

The first few pieces were all jewellery or antique collectibles, which Suny didn't have the ability to appreciate or collect, so she barely even looked at them, and kept her head down as she played the game.

It was not until nine o'clock that "Beloved" was launched.

Suny exited the game page and looked at the elegant black piano on the stage, her hand cupping the price tag and turning it.

The starting price for "Beloved" was one million, with a minimum increase of one hundred million for each bid.

When Austin saw the piano come out, he slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't want to waste any more time, so he decided to make a quick decision and took the price tag and was just about to raise his bid of three million.

However, someone else was already one step ahead of him, and the auctioneer called out the price with a hammer, "Three million! This lady is bidding three million!"

As soon as the bid was raised, there was an uproar on the stage.

Elijah, who was on the side, gave a startled tsk: "Who is calling the bidding?"

He looked at Austin with a gloating look on his face as he spoke.

Austin cast a faint glance at him and changed the price tag in his hand.

"Three and a half million! The gentleman in box number two has bid three and a half million!"

Suny lightly raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to bid four million.

Originally, many people were interested in the "Beloved", but the two of them raised the price to four million in one go.

Four million for a piano was, frankly, not very meaningful.

So many people who were ready to bid withdrew their cards and watched the two people on stage and off stage bidding against each other like a lively crowd.

As soon as Suny had called for four million, the second floor called for five million.

This time the bid was increased by one million, who could stand it?

Suny could, but she didn't want to be a fool.

Even at the time when it was a household name, the piano was only worth 10 million, but if she kept on bidding with the people upstairs tonight, the piano would soon be worth over 10 million.

"Five million once! Five million twice! Five million - six million! This lady is bidding six million!"

Austin originally thought that five million would take the piano, but he didn't expect the woman on the stage to raise the price.

He frowned for a moment, wondering somewhat if the auction house had hired a cheater.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! That woman is awesome, she didn't even blink at five million!"

Elijah crossed his legs, not caring about anything, but watching the fun.

For as long as he had known Austin, it was the first time Elijah had seen someone competing with him, and it really was exciting.

When Austin suddenly stopped raising the price, Elijah felt a bit uncomfortable and touched him: "Hey, aren't you planning to give this piano to the chairman of Greensource? If you don't raise the price, the piano will be that woman's!"

Austin gave him a cold glare and raised the seven-million price tag with a blank expression.

The whole room was in an uproar, and the staff of the auction house almost wept with joy.

The piano had started at just over eight hundred thousand, but she never thought it would fetch a whopping seven million!

Suny pursed her lips for a moment, squeezing her hand around and around the price tag, but finally put it down.

Forget it, it was not worth it.
