Chapter 223
As soon as Hubert spoke, it was apparent which family would emerge as the
winner of the coveted centerpiece jewelry tonight. “400, going once!” The
elegant auctioneer’s voice resonated through the hall. At the same time,
Beatrix’s nerves were on edge.
Unlike Hubert’s naivety, she recognized Emmanuel’s voice and knew it was
her brother–in–law bidding from the VIP room next door. Please, Emmanuel,
don’t lose out!
“Haha, how about that? Isn’t your future brother–in–law impressive?” Hubert,
oblivious to Beatrix’s thoughts, proudly boasted to her.
“600!” Suddenly, Emmanuel’s voice echoed in the venue. The audiences

was absent from the auction hall, leaving everyone clueless about the
bidder’s identity.
“Oh, Mr. Verkade, it appears that you and my elder sister are not destined to
be together!” Beatrix glanced at Hubert, feigning nervousness while feeling
elated deep inside. Emmanuel is truly remarkable!
Hubert clenched his teeth. The Verkade family’s sponsorship limit for him was
10 million, with the condition that he had to ensure the success of his
proposal to Mackenzie.
With the price already at 6 million, the pressure on him was immense.

bid once again: “800!” The audience was astounded. They had witnessed
bidding wars before, but never such an unconventional one. Was someone
bidding against themselves to illustrate how lonely it was to be invincible?
Beatrix was so thrilled that she wanted to nibble her hand when she realized
that Emmanuel’s dominance was beyond expectations!

Hubert didn’t think that someone would go against him, but since he had
made a public proclamation, he could only say while clenching his fist,
“Beatrix, I promised to propose to your sister using this golden jade phoenix.
No one can stop me! I meant it!” Hearing that, Beatrix pursed her lips and
substantial for others, it was far from a considerable sum in the eyes of the
Hubert, who was feeling good about himself, called out, “810!”
Did he increase the bid marginally because he’s running out of money?
bidder in the neighboring room could make another bid. “The gentleman next
door, I’m Hubert from the Verkade family. I intend to acquire this golden jade
As soon as Hubert spoke such words, the venue erupted in commotion. Many
believed that regardless of who occupied the neighboring room, they had to
show deference to the influential Verkade family and the formidable Quillen
