Chapter 23
How could Suzanne call out that amount?
Even Christine was shocked to hear that figure, and she couldn’t help but take a couple of stops back. She looked at Saline and rugged on the hem of her clothes, whispering, “0.5 million dollars? It’s not worth it. Seline, why don’t we just let this go?”
Seline gripped her handbag even tighter. Her hand squeezed it so hard that her knuckles had started to turn white.
No! She absolutely couldn’t lose to Suzanne, that bitch!
Seline raised her head. Her gaze toward Suzanne was filled with determination as she shouted, “to million dollars!”
She could tell that Suzanne was at her limit. She definitely had no money left to bid, so 16 million dollars would absolutely secure Seline’s win.
The crowd was stunned once more. They never expected Seline to raise the bid. Their gazes toward her changed. Some people were filled with envy while others even looked at her with awe
She really was a wealthy person!
“This Ms. Yates is quite impressive!!!
“Right! The Yateses are a rich and powerful family. What’s this amount of money to them?”
As the chatter echoed through the air, Selline looked at Suzanne with an arrogant expression.
Suzanne curved her lips into a smile and withdrew her hard from the glass countertop With a hint of helplessness, she said, “Alright. I don’t have as much money as you, so you can have it!”
However, she didn’t feel defeated at all. In fact, she wore a victorious smile.
All of Seline’s smugness froze on her face in an instant.
No, something wasn’t right! She had gotten too carried away just now Suzanne had no money to begin with!
That bitch was only provoking her when she called out the 10.5–million–dollar bid! Still, she hadn’t thought much of it then. She just didn’t want Suzanne to donninate over her, but now.
Why did she feel…
“Yeah. Have you guys ever seen such a foolish wealthy person? Those with real wealth are always smart with their money. Even if they spend big, they only spend where it’s necessary”
But she was so angry! She originally waited to teach Suzanne a lesson, but now, she was the one being insulted and called a fool! Who was the one actually getting caught a lesson here?
She shot a disdainful glare at the “defeated Suzanne, saying, “I told you, Suzanne doesn’t have any money! She was just trying to compete with you What qualifications does she have?”
However, Suzanne stepped forward and smiled at the two of them, openly admitting, “I really don’t have 16 million dollars. I can’t afford it.”
