Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Chapter 158

He was beefing up his crew and gang so easily, as if the heavens were giving him a hand, and he couldn’t turn it down!

Rosemary must’ve figured out what he was thinking, and she scoffed, "I’m not afraid of owing a debt, I’m just worried you won’t have the guts to take me in."

Keith burst out laughing, "You’re hilarious. I’m a gang leader, of course, I can handle you!"

The more he looked at Rosemary, the more appealing she seemed. Even though she was a girl, the icy cool aúra she radiated was totally badass.

Romeo looked at Rosemary, "I didn’t expect you to be so young and already a gang leader."

"So are you."

They were about the same age, really.

Romeo looked into Rosemary’s eyes, like an adult asking a child, "Do you know where we are?"

They were in the trangular zone, up against the vicious Mafia Wolf. She, a girl, dared to barge in with just one subordinate?

Carl had to admire Rosemary’s guts.

Even though he was here alone with Romeo, they had many men waiting outside, all armed with top–notch weapons.

Besides, both he and Romeo were stronger than anyone here, which was why they had the guts to come in.

But Rosemary, a girl, with a subordinate who didn’t look so tough, just strolled in and took–a–seat.

When Keith heard this, he thought Romeo was questioning Rosemary’s abilities and financial resources, thinking she was too confident. Otherwise, why would he ask her if she knew where they were!

If she came here without money, there was no way she would be leaving alive!

He laughed, "Don’t worry, if Mr. Bryant is broke, then the treasure is yours."

Of course, Mr. Bryant would have to stay and become his woman!

"How much are you willing to pay?" Romeo looked at Rosemary with interest.

Rosemary surmised that he wanted the cinnamomum tenuis to save his grandma.

She didn’t know where he’d got the information that cinnamomum tenuis could help his grandma, but since their goals were the same, there was no need to overpay.

"Keith, I wanted to ask, ’does the price we bid earlier still count?" Rosemary turned to Keith.

Keith still had a greedy look on his face, as if he was completely smitten by her..

Earlier at the auction, buyer number 1 and buyer number 3 had bid up to 330 million dollars..

If they could go higher.

Keith chuckled greedily, "No, it doesn’t count. Both of you start bidding again."

"The starting bid is 3 million dollars?" Rosemary asked.

"Yes."

"Alright, I bid 3 million dollars." Rosemary bid right away."

Keith was taken aback. Why weren’t they adding to the 330 million dollar base, but rather starting from scratch?

Romeo had just scrapped the price cap, so when Rosemary bid 3 million dollars, he naturally had to add another 3 million dollars.

"6 million dollars." He bid calmly.

"Alright, I give up. The item is yours."

Perhaps not expecting Rosemary to do so, Keith immediately shouted, "Wait! You’re supposed to continue bidding from 330 million dollars!"

Otherwise, he would lose a lot!

To sell such a precious cinnamomum tenuis for only 6 million dollars?

What would he get out of it?

What was the point of his auction?

"You said the previous price was off the table and asked me to quote again, didn’t you?" Rosemary muttered, "You’re not thinking of backing out now, are you?" "You" Keith was at a loss for words.

"As a gang leader, don’t you have any credibility?"

Keith suddenly realized something, "You two know each other? You plan to team up to scam the cinnamomum tenuis from me at a low price? Mafia C and Mafia Flame are in cahoots, just to rip me off? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?"

"So, you are thinking of backing out?" Romeo asked casually.

"Fine, I back out!"

Between the $300 million and credibility, he chose the former!

One of his men tiptoed up to Keith’s ear and whispered, "Keith, there are Mafia C guys all over the place, we’d better be careful."

Keith knew well the power of Mafia C, so he swallowed his anger and said calmly, "Mr. McMillian, if you really want this cinnamomum tenuis, give me $300 million and you can take it. But this girl must stay! I can tell she doesn’t have the money, she’s just here to cause trouble!"

He couldn’t let her off just like that!

"I want both her and the item." Romeo’s tone was firm, and he looked into Rosemary’s eyes with a hint of tenderness.

Keith was a bit taken aback, "You like her? What if I insist on keeping her today?"

"Let’s see if you have the ability to do so."

As soon as Romeo had finished speaking, a member of Mafia Wolf rushed in, "Bad news, we’re surrounded by Mafia C!"

Keith glared at Romeo, "Are you serious?"

He was going to take on a gang for a woman? Was it really worth it?

"You just said you like her?" Romeo laughed coldly, "You have good taste, but you’re not in her league! Carl."

"Yes!" Carl immediately pressed the button, triggering the outside forces into action!

Everyone in the triangular zone had no idea why Mafia C had suddenly turned against Mafia Wolf and started shooting, seemingly determined to wipe them out. Hearing the gunshots and screams outside, Keith realized the danger was upon them.

"She’s your woman? So, this is all a trap? You just wanted an excuse to wipe out Mafia Wolf? So, you set up a trap and waited for us to fall into it?"

Upon hearing this, Carl scoffed, "You’re too full of yourself! Mr. McMillian doesn’t need an excuse to take action! You’re the one who overreached, hoping to get Mr. Bryant! Open your eyes and see how

the empire you have built is slowly collapsing!"

Hearing this, Keith stood frozen in shock.

Carl continued, "Don’t worry, Mr. McMillian will spare your life, and the cinnamomum tenuis will be bought according to the rules you set, no unfair deals."

However, they agreed on $6 million, not a penny more!

Upon hearing Carl’s words, Keith gave a bitter smile, his face pale, "So, according to you, you guys haven’t done anything unethical, rather you’ve been generous to me, sparing my life, and it’s all my

fault?"

"Of course! Who told you to be rude to Mr. Bryant?" Carl’s words filled Keith with murderous intent.

Romeo stood up and extended his hand to Rosemary..

Rosemary obediently walked towards him.

Jack’s eyes widened to see the usually aloof Rosemary being held by Romeo. And just like that, she was gone.

"Mafia Wolf is gone, you won’t get away either!" At that moment, Keith hit the switch and a giant iron door suddenly dropped, blocking the only exit.

"Watch out" Romeo pulled Rosemary into his arms and stepped back, narrowly avoiding being hit by the falling door!

Keith pulled out several guns from under the table, ready to kill them!
