Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487

Roxy’s expression was one of unwavering resolve. She was absolutely determined to win that top–grade Rejuvenation Pill.

She was done with pleading with Ashton. She carried the weight of that shame every day, fueling a secret vow that she would eventually turn the tables against him. She would see the day when Ashton was the one on his knees, pleading with her.

In the meantime, the medicinal fragrance filled the hall, driving the crowd into a frenzy. Those suffering from secret infirmities cast longing, fervent glances toward the stage, resembling predators that had just caught the scent of prey.

“One million dollars!”

“Two million dollars!”

“Six million dollars!”

It didn’t take long for bidding to blow past the six–million mark, but interest showed no signs of slowing.

It was because top–grade pills always commanded a massive premium; they were the kind of rarities that were technically priced but impossible to find on the open market, making them a natural trigger for a bidding frenzy.

Wanda flashed a seductive smile and tossed a flirtatious wink toward Ashton, appearing as though she were angling for a bit of praise from him.

Ashton swallowed hard. He hadn’t expected a single Rejuvenation Pill to hit six million, let alone the eight million it had just reached.

He realized that much of that success was due to Wanda’s skill as an auctioneer–her seductive presence and sultry, magnetic voice seemed to cast a spell over the crowd, driving them into a bidding frenzy.

Ashton flashed a smile back at her, acknowledging her flirtatious gesture. He found himself wondering what kind of reward would be fitting for a woman as elegant and alluring as Wanda.

“Ten million dollars!” Roxy’s voice rang out at that moment.

Roxy’s bid immediately silenced everyone in the hall. Her price was double the Rejuvenation Pill’s market value–an excessive premium that forced many of the more practical bidders to withdraw.

“11 million dollars!” Ashton suddenly called out, calm and unhurried.

In that instant, Ashton became the immediate center of attention. A few onlookers who were privy to his complicated relationship with Roxy exchanged knowing glances. They watched with amused, expectant smiles, clearly enjoying the spectacle of the two of them facing off.

“It’s Ashton again! That despicable man is clearly doing this on purpose! He’s clearly doing this to get a rise out of us since everyone else had already stopped bidding!” Eunice glared furiously at Ashton, noting his teasing smile, which only fueled her rage.

She was baffled as to how Roxy, her best friend, had ended up marrying such a man. She also thought that he was utterly unworthy of even being compared to the Grim Reaper she adored greatly.

“13 million dollars!” Roxy snapped, her expression chilling as she glared directly at Ashton.

Ashton met Roxy’s eyes head–on and challenged her. “14 million dollars!”

“15 million dollars!”

“16 million dollars!”

It continued to soar, far exceeding the Rejuvenation Pill’s actual worth.

Roxy’s chest heaved as she clenched her fists tightly.

Eunice advised, “You should probably just give it up, Roxy. I mean, even if it’s a top–grade Rejuvenation Pill, it isn’t worth 16 million dollars. You should just let Ashton win the bid and take the loss instead. He’s only doing this to spite you because he knows you need it for Mrs. Sloan’s stomach disorder.”

Damian chimed in with his own advice. “Eunice is right, Roxy! You should let Ashton suffer the loss instead!

Roxy hesitated for a moment before bidding again. “17 million dollars!”

Ashton didn’t respond with a higher bid this time.

In the end, the bidding ended with Roxy claiming the top–grade Rejuvenation Pill for herself.

“Why did Ashton suddenly stop bidding?” Eunice asked, her voice filled with bewilderment.

“He saw right through me. He knew my limit before I even did, and I walked straight into his trap,” Roxy explained with a sigh. She had finally realized that Ashton had set her up from the very start, now that she had regained her composure.

“How shameless!” Eunice snapped, her face twisted with fury.

Ashton, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He never thought that a Rejuvenation Pill that should have topped at eight million dollars would actually fetch an extra nine million dollars. He had undoubtedly made a windfall from this auction.
