Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 168

After the other bidder casually threw out a five-million offer, Miranda decided not to counter.

Jasper noticed Miranda backing down and felt a twinge of defeat, so he offered, "I’ve got some cash. I can lend you some."

Miranda was a tad surprised. "You’re quite the stand-up guy."

Jasper beamed at the compliment. "Of course I am."

"Six million," another man's voice rang out, and he sauntered over to Miranda, forcing Jasper aside.

The moment he was beside her, the familiar scent told Miranda exactly who it was without even needing to turn.

"Hey, watch it..." Jasper started to protest, but swallowed his words once he saw the newcomer. Even with a mask on, Jasper would recognize him anywhere.

"Seven million," the other bidder continued.

"Eight million."

"Night million."

"Ten million," he paused and added, "In A coin."

The auction room buzzed with astonishment. A whopping ten million in A coin! That currency was worth five times the auction's standard currency! So, essentially, fifty million!

Spending fifty million on a seemingly ordinary and potentially worthless piece of jade? That was a surefire way to lose money!

Did they squander it away just for fun? Who was this guy? Some kind of wealthy baby with too much cash to burn?

But some started to scrutinize the stone more closely to comprehend why it was worth that huge amount, wondering if they had missed something significant about its value.
