Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

“600 thousand dollars,” Victoria said.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Victoria, her gaze filled with shock.

She never imagined that Victoria would throw out 600 thousand dollar just like that.

To var hers

Pierre was fuming. His monthly allowance was strictly controlled, capped at 1.5 million dollars, and he was only allowed to spend up to 600 thousand dollars on women!

It was a cheap pendant. At best, the designer had a bit of a name, but the materials were nothing special.

As the first item up for auction, 300 thousand dollars was already way more than it was worth.

But now, Victoria blurted out 600 thousand dollars. ‘Is she out of her mind?‘ Pierre thought.

The auctioneer tapped his gavel again.

“600 thousand dollars, going once.

“600 thousand dollars, going twice!”

Pierre gritted his teeth. ‘I can’t take it. Victoria just provoked me. I’ll lose to anyone, but never to her.”

“700 thousand dollars!” Pierre shouted, breaking his own rule of never spending more than 600 thousand on women in a

month.

Pierre raised his paddle, his jaw clenched tight, knowing he’d shattered his monthly spending limit for women.

Right then, Victoria’s clear voice echoed through the speakers again. “800 thousand dollars.”

After placing her bid, Victoria taunted Pierre, “Pierre, with your penny–pinching bids, you shouldn’t try to compete with me. It’s embarrassing.”

Pierre snapped, “Shut up! I’ve got plenty of cash. 900 thousand dollars!”

Victoria didn’t even hesitate. “One million dollars!”

Pierre clenched his jaw and shot a glance at the beautiful woman beside him

“1.1 million dollars!” Pierre shouted, feeling like his heart was bleeding. With this much money, I could’ve had three women for the night!‘ he thought.

The woman’s initial excitement quickly turned into nervousness. She never expected Pierre to jack up the bid to LI million dollars, all because Victoria egged him on.

She wondered, ‘Will Victoria keep bidding against Pierre?

‘Or maybe she’s just trying to mess with him and make Pierre spend way more than he should. Once she’s got him to waste enough, she’ll probably back off.

Sure enough, Victoria stopped bidding. She didn’t instantly raise her bid like she had before.

Seeing this, the woman deflated like a balloon with all the air let out, her face falling as all her excitement drained away,

ppp.

“1.1 million dollars, going once!” the auctioneer called out.

10 vouchers.

Pierre finally leaned back against the sofa, a satisfied grin on his face. ‘Looks like that bitch Victoria can’t match my bid anymore, he thought.

“1.1 million dollars, going twice!” the auctioneer announced.

Annie gloated, “Victoria, you really made Pierre bleed this time!”

Victoria smiled. “Who said I was letting him win?”

“What?” Before Annie could even react, Victoria turned on the microphone and placed another bid.

“1.5 million dollars,” she said.

This time, that bid shocked everyone in the room.

“Honestly, 1.1 million is already way over the top. Dropping 1.5 million on a pendant? She might as well set the money on fire,” someone commented.

“Does Victoria really think the Binder family fortune is all hers? She’s spending money like it’s nothing,” someone else snarked.

Annie blinked in surprise. “Victoria, I thought you were messing with Pierre to make him spend big. Wait, you truly want the pendant? Isn’t 1.5 million dollars kinda crazy?”

Victoria grinned, totally relaxed. “No big deal. I like this pendant, so for me, it’s worth every penny. And hey, getting to smack Pierre’s ego at the same time? That’s a win–win.”

Pierre wasn’t about to throw any more money at that cheap pendant, so he turned on the microphone and sneered. “Victoria, go ahead and be the sucker!”

Victoria shot back, “Pierre, you’re broke and can’t even keep up. How do you have the nerve to call me the sucker?

“If you can’t handle the game, sit out. Honestly, you shouldn’t even be in the private room with us. You’re making us look bad.”

Then she raised her voice toward the back, “Alexis, next time, don’t let anyone who can’t even put up three million pretend to be a big shot in the private rooms.

“They’re making Benwig City’s top auction house look cheap.”

Alexis, watching the auction on the live feed, immediately replied, “No problem, Ms. Binder.”

Simon, who had come backstage to find Alexis, couldn’t help but wonder when he saw how quick Alexis was to do whatever Victoria asked.

Simon asked, “Mr. White, you and Victoria seem pretty close, huh?”

Alexis gave a polite smile. “Yeah, we’re pretty familiar. Ms. Binder is my money maker.”

“Money maker? What do you mean by that?” Simon looked even more puzzled.

Angelica didn’t want to hear anything about Victoria and pressed, “Simon, let’s ask about the poison doctor. Your poisoning

can’t wait.”

Above all, she wanted her beauty restored.

Simon brushed off his confusion about Alexis calling Victoria his money maker and asked, “Mr. White, didn’t you say the poison doctor would be at the auction today? Has she arrived yet?”

Alexis glanced at the live feed and flashed a sly grin. “Yeah, she’s here. The poison doctor is your real sister, Victoria”

Meanwhile, back at the auction hall, Annie was laughing so hard that she was clutching her stomach. “Victoria, you’re so savage.”

Everyone in the other private rooms couldn’t help but join in with mischievous laughter.

Pierre was so mad that he nearly exploded.

The woman next to Pierre burst out laughing, too.

“What the hell are you laughing at? You think you can escape me?” Pierre snapped, spinning around and glaring at her.

The woman froze for a second, and then her eyes went wide. “Pierre, you’re such a liar.”

Pierre, unable to take his anger out on Victoria, turned it all on the woman. “You should feel lucky I even noticed you.

“Plenty of women would throw themselves at me. Don’t you dare act all innocent with me.”

The woman gritted her teeth and stood up, trying to leave the room, but she had barely taken two steps before Pierre’s two bodyguards pulled her back.

“Let me go!” the woman shouted, struggling desperately, but the strength gap was too much that she couldn’t break free from their hold.

All the fake tenderness Pierre had shown her before was gone, replaced with nothing but contempt. “You’re not going anywhere. Not until you spend the night with me!”

The woman realized she had nowhere left to run.

Her only shot was the heiress who’s been giving Pierre a hard time.

She kicked one bodyguard’s foot with her heel and then bit the other’s wrist.

As they recoiled in pain, she broke free, made a dash for the microphone, grabbed it, and yelled, “Help me!”

Everyone turned to look over at Pierre’s side.

What’s going on?” someone asked.

Probably another one of Pierre’s dramas with his girl. Let’s not get involved,” someone else muttered.

ɔus, Pierre swung his hand and slapped the woman hard across the face, then quickly shut off the mic. “Yvonne, I’ve been giving you way more respect than you deserve.

‘You really think anyone here has the guts to stick their nose in and save you?”

Yvonne was knocked to the floor by the slap, but she ignored the pain and looked up at Victoria, hoping Victoria would do something.

But Victoria remained perfectly composed, showing no sign of reacting.

Pierre was so pissed off by Victoria that he couldn’t stand being at the auction anymore.

10 volchers

He jumped to his feet, barked at his bodyguards to haul Yvonne out, and stormed out of the private room, fuming.

“Damn! Pierre was trying to drag that woman off against her will. She wasn’t into him!” Annie exclaimed, eyes wide in disbelief. “That guy’s a monster!”
