Following that was a whole new round of bidding. Flora's spur definitely stimulated the guests.
The starting price of one million dollars soon increased by multiple folds. The figure increased faster than Usain Bolt.
The huge screen was displaying Olivia. Her face was perfect no matter from which angle one looked.
The high-resolution screen showed her forehead covered in beads of sweat. Her eyes were glazed over. The drugs were kicking in.
Some of the men were willing to splurge money to have her without a care in the world.
Dale wasn't one of the bidders.
The bid went up to seven million dollars even before he raised his placard.
The businessmen knew what they were doing. Once they were sick of Olivia, they could hand her over to someone else.
A beauty like her could be sold around like hotcakes. It wouldn't be long before they could earn their capital back.
Hence, the bids were raised higher and higher. It was going to exceed nine million dollars soon.
"Things are not looking good, Mr. Dale. Are they insane?"
"Insane? They seem to be in the right state of mind to me. They can sell her off for profit after they're done with her."
"But if this keeps up, it won't be easy for us to raise the bid. What if Mr. Edgar finds out that you used up so much money in one go—"
"So what if my elder brother finds out about it? He'll tell me off, and that's it. It's just a woman. How serious could it possibly be?" As soon as he finished, he raised his placard. "Ten million dollars."
The real battle began.
Joshua said softly, "Mr. Miller, Mr. Dale has raised the bid."
"Follow suit." Ethan grabbed the armrest tightly. "Raise the bid every time he does."
When it came to wealth, the whole Kingston family stood no chance against the Miller family, let alone Dale.
And Dale noticed that as well. Once he raised the bid, the other party would follow suit.
Spending 30 million dollars for a child's mother? They thought the man was out of his mind.
This was Ethan's first time calling a bid, serving as a reality check to Flora, who initially intended to watch him in misery.
She wondered if he knew how much that money was worth.
"Sir, please keep in mind that bidders who can't pay the price will be punished severely," she reminded with gritted teeth.
Ethan wrote a check before pinching it with his fingers. "Here's 30 million dollars."
There were ATMs on the ship operating 24/7. It could be credited immediately.
As long as it was discovered as a fake check, the bidder would be prohibited from alighting the ship.
No one dared to take it as a joking matter.
It meant that this guy really had 30 million dollars at his disposal!
