Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180 You’re No Match for Me

Number 14, 45 million! Going once! Going twice! The host’s voice was filled with excitement, focused on Maggie

Beth’s heart raced, unsure whether she wished Maggie would keep bidding or give up.

Maggie chose not to continue. After consulting Mia, she knew the estimated value of the azure porcelain vase was around 18 million, making a sale for 22.5 million quite feasible.

With Beth’s bid at 45 million, she had already doubled the price and likely wouldn’t go further.

Mia, feeling a bit excited, asked from the side, “Should we raise the bid?”

Maggie glanced at her, bluntly asking, “It’s your family’s vase. Why would you want to buy it?”

Mia wisely stayed silent upon hearing this.

Even though it seemed unlikely, she was just trying to make Beth place a higher bid.

One can dream.

Maggie interrupted her daydream, stating firmly, “Beth’s not an idot.”

A dog that barks doesn’t bite. Beth overbid 15 million just to dampen my spirits. I wouldn’t call that stubborn: I’d call that reckless.

*45 million, sold! Congratulations to Number 14!”

With the hammer falling, the azure porcelain vase was won by Beth. Many around applauded and offered their congratulations, their eyes turning to her.

Beth remained unmoved, only lamenting that her position was too far forward to see Maggie’s expression.

But there was no rush; there would be a banquet after the auction, and she’d rub it in her face then.

Afterwards, a few more items were auctio ed, but none caught Maggie’s interest, so she refrained from bidding.

After all, she wasn’t made of money!

Then came the vintage fan she and Leo had selected together. Perhaps Beth didn’t want to offend Leo or wasn’t aware of their relationship, so she didn’t interfere.

Leo successfully acquired it, albeit at a price several times higher due to the audience’s preference for such

items.

Next up was the fountain pen that Emma liked, supposedly intended as a gift for Ericko.

This pen was indeed very exquisite.

With its deep navy blue color, a diamond embedded on the top of the cap, and the gold clip complementing the gleaming navy, it exuded a subtle luxury.

Maggie listened sporadically. As the host announced the starting bid, Mia couldn’t help but ask, “Should I compete with Emma?”

Without having to ask, Maggie knew Mia just wanted to stir up trouble.

“Why bother competing?” Maggie asked.

It’s cheap, and isn’t she planning to give it to Ericko? If I win it, I’ll give it to him. I think that’ll really piss her off!” Mia casually remarked, her cat–like eyes carrying a hint of laziness..

“No need for trouble; let her give it to him if she wants.” Maggie sneered with an indifferent gaze.

At these words, Mia knew Maggie must have a plan and turned to look at her.

Meeting Mia’s lazy gaze, Maggie couldn’t help but smile.

Mia shivered inexplicably; those eyes of hers were surprisingly sharp, carrying an unmasked calculation.

Yeah, that’s more like it.

Just with that look, Mia knew someone was going to be in trouble or end up heartbroken.

Mia immediately threw out another bombshell. “2.2 million.” She then added without any hesitation, “Emma I modest unit give un Vou can’t hear me
