Bonnie watched as the Maybach gradually disappeared from view, then pulled out her phone and made a call.
“I have some personal matters to attend to today, so I won’t be going to the research institute. Carry on with whatever you need to do. Don’t wait for me,” Bonnie said on the phone. The person on the other end immediately responded, “Alright, Ms. Bonita.”
When Ivor got out of the car, he saw Shane also leaving his car outside the Ferryrover Jewelry store.
Without revealing any emotions, Ivor continued walking straight toward the lobby. However, he heard Shane’s voice from behind.
“Mr. Ivor, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Don’t you greet old acquaintances when you see them?”
Ivor halted his steps, turned around, and said expressionlessly, “How’s your mother?”
Upon hearing this, Shane’s face turned purple with anger. “Is that supposed to be funny?”
“Well, it’s alright,” he replied calmly.
Shane let out a long sigh, then smiled and said, “Mr. Ivor, why do you look so grim? Do you already know you’ll lose before the bidding even starts?”
Ivor responded with a faint smile. “Whether I win or lose isn’t for you to decide, and I also advise you not to be too happy too soon, lest you fail miserably.”
Shane felt stifled. He had come to show off, but Ivor’s indifferent attitude made him furious.
Since he couldn’t achieve the desired effect, he decided not to waste any more words on Ivor. “Let’s wait and see! Rest assured, I will ensure you see my success today!” Ivor remained calm. “I’ll be waiting.”
“Hmph!” Shane snorted heavily and turned away from Ivor, leaving in large strides.
Watching Shane’s departing figure, Floyd felt indignant and asked, “So what if he found Finley before us? We’ve beaten him many times before but never flaunted like he does!” Shane’s behavior was irritating.
Ivor glanced at him sideways and suddenly called out his name, “Floyd.”
Floyd was stunned, then looked at Ivor and asked, “Mr. Ivor, what’s up?”
“There’s something I hope you’ll remember,” Ivor said, glancing in the direction Shane had left. “Don’t argue with idiots.”
Upon hearing this, Floyd laughed helplessly, “Haha, Mr. Ivor, you’re quite humorous today.”
Ivor smiled faintly and then strode forward. “Let’s go.”
Floyd quickly caught up with his steps and said, “Alright!”
Shane and Percy Crosby, the person in charge of Ferryrover Jewelry, were chatting happily at the bidding venue, and their conversation was seemingly delightful. Percy caught sight of Ivor’s figure and immediately greeted him, “Mr. Ivor.”
Ivor nodded slightly and found a seat to sit down.
Upon seeing this, Shane’s eyes flashed with jealousy.
He looked at Percy Crosby and deliberately asked, “Mr. Percy, didn’t you say before that whichever company finds Finley will enjoy the priority for cooperation?”
