Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 257

It was then that Quentin finally realized his mistake. His expression grew increasingly tense as he fell into a daze.

This was bad.

He immediately ran outside to quickly catch up to Hayden.

"Sir, please wait!" Quentin shouted.

"Yes?" Hayden stopped in his tracks, his gaze growing cautious as he stared at Quentin.

"Sir, I'm really in love with this gem. I hope you can sell it to me. I know what you're worried about. You're thinking that the price I'd offered was way too high, right? But that's the price I'm offering after consulting with a professional team of appraisers. Although the price is steep, it also shows my sincerity in buying it. I hope you can understand," Quentin explained in a hurry.

His demeanor was sincere, while his gaze grew increasingly emotional.

However, Hayden remained skeptical.

"So, what now? Are you going to force me to sell this to you?" Hayden asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No. Of course not! I can assure you that our auction house has a long-standing history and that we've never mistreated our clients. I hope you'll believe us and sell the gem to us. 300 million dollars is the price I'm offering based on my sincerity.

"You can even file a report if there's any fraud involved. Let the authorities hold me accountable! You can take the contract to anyone for a thorough review before we finalize the deal. How about that?"

Quentin began to appeal to Hayden's emotions by putting his sincerity on full throttle, so much so that he exuded a sense of humility and approachability.

His performance managed to move Hayden a little.

For a director of an auction house with such status and influence to lower himself that much was quite a remarkable feat. Moreover, it wouldn't make sense for someone of his net worth to set Hayden up for over a mere 300 million dollars, right?

Hayden thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

"Fine. You can get the contract drafted first, but I have one condition. I'll decide whether to sell after reviewing the contract, and you can decide whether to buy it after that."
