His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 434

“Five million.”

The price had just leapt by a staggering amount.

Niamh stared at Peter in disbelief.

“Gentleman with number forty-nine bids five million dollars. Five million, first call…”

Peter flashed Niamh a wide, almost mischievous grin, his hand holding the number forty-nine sign high in the air.

Niamh never would have guessed that Peter would join the bidding—let alone throw out a five-million-dollar offer.

But before the auctioneer could call a second time, Prince William, seated at the same table as Peter, raised the stakes again.

“Six million.”

Peter frowned.

“Six-point-one million,” he countered.

Unwilling to back down, Prince William pressed on.

“Six-point-two million.”

“Six-point-three million.”

Neither of them was giving an inch. The two volleyed bids back and forth, round after round.

At the adjacent table, Carlotta watched the escalating rivalry with undisguised curiosity. She leaned over, whispering into Hayes Quinn’s ear, “Do you think both of them have their eyes on Rina?”

Hayes didn’t answer.

Prince William was younger than Niamh, noticeably immature in both manner and bearing.

Peter, on the other hand, was the executive director of FY—suave, accomplished, the picture of success.

Yet Hayes could tell from Niamh’s reactions that she wasn’t interested in Peter, at least not in the way the others might have hoped.

Hayes’s gaze drifted almost unconsciously toward Jonathan Thomas.

Among the rising stars in politics and business, Jonathan was in a league of his own.

The Quinn family had always placed great importance on ties with the Thomas family—there had even been talk of marriage between the families.
