Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband novel Chapter 958

Chapter 958 The Bid

Mrs. Lydia hesitated, glancing at Cherise. “But… Mrs. Lenoir hasn’t donated yet…”

Cherise squinted her eyes, realizing once again that Mrs. Lydia was no simple woman; she was keenly observing her all along, which explained her hesitation.

Her impression of Mrs. Lydia had already soured with the matter outside of the auditorium.

Now, she was convinced that Mrs. Lydia was benefiting from these children.

This only fueled her determination to adopt Alexis..

So, Cherise stood up with a smile. “Mrs. Lydia, if you are asking for a donation, I am willing to contribute.

“You see, I have my eye on a child named Alexis.”

“I would like to know, if I donate one million to the orphanage, would I be able to adopt this child?”

Cherise believed that one million was a substantial amount in Mrs. Lydia’s eyes.

Yolanda laughed in a mocking manner, sending her fiery gaze at Cherise.

“One million?”

“Cherise, aren’t you being stingy?”

She took out a check for ten million from her pocket and handed it to Mrs. Lydia. “The previous ten million I gave you was for the welfare of the children in the orphanage.”

“This additional ten million is a token of appreciation for taking care of Alexis.”

After that, she looked at Cherise with satisfaction. “Mrs. Lenoir, do you really think you can compete with me?”

“I acknowledge that I may not be as wealthy as your husband.”

“But I am willing to spend money.”

Yolanda sneered, “Would Mrs. Lenoir be willing to spend thirty million to adopt a little boy without any relatives?”

“Don’t claim you cannot afford it.”

“Even if you can afford it… I will always offer a price that is one million higher than yours.”

Cherise narrowed her eyes at her. “Is that so?”

“Absolutely!”

Cherise took a deep breath, then she announced, “Thirty million.”
