Chapter 148
The young man hesitated before placing the paddle back onto the table begrudgingly.
On table two, Yuna’s eyes flashed. She smirked mockingly as she raised her hand, “5.01 million!”
5.01 million? The guests exchanged glances among themselves in disbelief.
Simon looked at his wife on table three. “Do you see that woman acting up again?” He muttered to his wife.
Alvina glanced at Yuna and looked back at her husband. “Ignore her. As long as she doesn’t cause any trouble for us.” She gently urged him.
A VIP seated on table one said, “Benny, my old boy. Your daughter is quite the feisty one!”
Benny glanced at him. “Before talking about my daughter, you should take a look at your own son!”
He caught himself and looked around apologetically. “President Willow, Congressman Townsend. I’m sorry for this debacle.”
“Young people nowadays are full of spirit!” Edwin chuckled and laugh.
However, Willow’s expression darkened a tad. Naturally, as Yuna was now going against her boss.
If she didn’t know that her boss could handle himself just fine, that woman was about to catch her hands! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Jerry’s eyes shone with dangerous intent from table twelve. “Boss, that woman is looking for a fight!”
Jonah sneered at them as he watched from the side. Looking for a fight? You’re the ones in trouble if you offend her!
“Hah! If it’s a fight she wants, a fight she’ll get.”
Jacob snorted and raised his paddle. “Ten million.”
Ten million?! The hall erupted with a thunderous roar.
Did money mean nothing to him at all? Doubling the amount! Was he trying to make a fool out of the Fests!
“Yuna!” Charlie glared at his wife. “Didn’t I tell you that I’ll take care of it? Why are you still…”
“I can’t take this lying down!” Yuna’s eyes glimmered with barely concealed hostility. “I’ll get back at them for taunting me!”
She immediately raised her hand and yelled out, “Fifteen million!”
Hmph! Let’s see you outbid this! She lowered her hand smugly.
She knew right from the start that this man from table twelve was determined to win the bid for that bronze sword. He’d have to pay dearly for that sword!
The young man on table twenty-one grimaced.
The middle aged man sat up straight as a board. His eyes shone. “Don’t be hasty. Let’s see who ends up winning that sword.”
On table three, Alvina asked in befuddlement, “How is she so sure that someone will bid against her? If no one does, then wouldn’t she be…”
“You’re still too naïve.” Simone leaned closer to his wife and whispered. “So what if she wins it at fifteen million? Her family organized the charity auction. She could take care of it easily afterwards. For instance, say she won the bid at fifteen million, no one would be the wiser if she paid 1.5 million.”
Alvina blinked. Her mouth gaped open in surprise, “Is that possible?”
“You’re the most naïve person in this room.” Simon patted her hand lovingly.
Suddenly, someone called out, “Twenty million.”
Simon looked up in surprise. Is there someone more naïve than my wife?
