My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 223

The bid price rose to 80 million dollars.

A few smaller families gave up at that point. Not many families were able to splurge that much money. In fact, 80 million dollars was a substantial amount for the Four Great Families.

The Quinns, the Reeves, the McKees, and the Albotts were the only families who were still fighting for the Yollowail.

After the bid price rose to 80 million dollars, the fighting wasn't as fierce. The Hidden Families had to consider the finances that they had, so they only raised the price by a million dollars each time.

Meanwhile, in Box No. 2, Jaiden suddenly declared, "Stop bidding for it, Finley."

Finley paused. "Why, Mr. Quinn?"

"Haven't you noticed that Loid isn't bidding for this?" Jaiden replied calmly and leaned against his chair.

Then, Finley looked at Box No. 1 and realized that all was quiet there. He said carelessly, "So what? He's probably too dumb to recognize Redushil. Anyway, they might not be able to afford it."

On the other hand, Jaiden shook his head seriously. "You're wrong! Loid has never done anything recklessly. Something is off."

Augustus thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Quinn, are you saying that the herb in the auction hall isn't Redushil?"

"Yes." Jaiden stood up and walked toward the window. He looked at the scene outside and answered, "Everyone came here to bid for the Redushil today. It doesn't make sense if Loid only came here for a date. Besides, he isn't skilled in medicine, but he didn't bring Neil with him."

"Would Loid know what Redushil looks like?" Augustus looked at the Yollowail in the hall carefully. It really looked like Redushil.

"Maybe. However, the possibility of that is small." Jaiden looked stern. "The Weisses have been cultivating Redushil for many years. Though many people tried to steal them, they have never succeeded. As such, few people know what Redushil looks like. Loid wouldn't recognize it."

After that, Jaiden suddenly came to a realization. His expression turned serious. "So, that must be the reason."

"What's the reason, Mr. Quinn?" Augustus asked.

"It must be because of Loid's fiancée." Jaiden smiled meaningfully. "I've made a miscalculation. Lily must have hidden her identity from us."
