Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 166

At a very early hour, Becky awoke. Outside, it was still raining and dark. She opened the door to the balcony. A sharp chill from the wind swept in.

The land in the north of the city would be up for auction today. Becky had worked hard over the last two months to acquire the land. She would have it today.

Last night, she slept well. Her fever had broken by the time she woke up.

Becky spent some time doing light makeup, getting dressed in a long skirt and top, and donning a camel long coat. The wind swept up the hem of her coat as she walked outside, and her stride was lively in the high-heels she was wearing.

Today, Talia, too, sported a dress and high-heels. As they walked into the bidding venue, many people were attracted to them.

Aiken was here, too. Since he had learned that Becky was considering purchasing this land, he had been eagerly anticipating this day.

Keenan was one of Rory’s best friends. Since he and Becky were going to compete for the land, Rory believed it would be interesting.

Aiken was surprised when he saw Becky.

He had seen Becky playing drums before. She exuded confidence and poise on stage when she played the drums.

“Becky seems tough today!”

Aiken cast a gloating glance at Keenan, who was sitting next to him.

Keenan grinned but said nothing. He looked at Becky with interest.

Once the candidates had arrived, the bidding started at 10 a.m.

A lot of individuals had their eyes on the land. The bid price rose five hundred million dollars not long after the bidding started.

Becky and her assistant did nothing as the bid price continued to rise.

Keenan, of course, kept his mouth shut as well.

Aiken was familiar with Keenan’s style since they were long-time friends. He enjoyed stepping in when things were very pressing.

Becky’s refusal to reveal her bid price made it impossible to determine Fairway Group’s maximum offer.

Becky drank a glass of water in silence as she studied Aiken.

When Aiken saw Becky staring at him, he smiled at her. Becky, however, looked away as soon as he lifted his hand.

Three companies gave up within five minutes.

Talia asked Becky in a low voice, “Miss Ramos, shall we…?”
