Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109
Jessica woke up early in the morning. The rain didn’t stop since last night and the sky outside the window was very dark.
She opened a bit of the balcony door and the cold wind blew in.
Today was the auction day for land in the north of LA. Jessica had done a lot to prepare for this land in the past two months. Today, she was determined to win.
She had a good sleep last night, so she felt much better when she woke up today.
Jessica took some time to put on delicate makeup, a long dress shirt, and a camel trench coat outside. She also wore a pair of 10 centimeter high heels.
Wendy also changed her skirt today. When Jessica and Wendy entered the hall in high heels, they looked stunningly glamorous so that they attracted many people’s attention..
Hari was here to have fun. Ever since he heard that Jessica was interested in this land, he had been looking forward to this day.
Derek knew how much Jessica resented Lucas. As one of Lucas’ best friends, Derek thought he had to do something.
But when Hari saw Jessica enter, he was stunned.
It was not the first time that Hari had seen Jessica, but Jessica seemed to have everything under control this time.
“Look, Jessica is very domineering today!”
Hari couldn’t help but take a deep breath as he took a glance at Derek beside him gloatingly. –
Derek smiled but did not speak. He looked questioningly at Jessica.
After all the company representatives participating in the auction arrived, the auction officially started at ten o’clock.
This piece of land in the north of LA was coveted by many people. However, the price had already risen by a hundred million at the very beginning.
The bidding price was still rising, but Jessica and the secretary beside her had no intention of speaking up.
Likewise, Derek had no intention of opening his mouth either.
Hari had known Derek for so many years, so he naturally knew Derek’s style of doing things. Derek liked to take people by surprise at the time of the crisis.
However, no one could guess where Hall Group’s bottom line was if Jessica didn’t speak.
Jessica sat there, taking a sip of water at a moderate pace. Then she took a glance at Hari.
Seeing Jessica’s eyes, Hari greeted her with a smile. However, just as he raised his hand, Jessica turned her head away and no longer looked at him.
Five minutes after the start, several companies had already withdrawn from bidding.
Wendy whispered into Jessica’s ear, “Miss Hall?”
Jessica smiled. “No hurry. Just wait a little longer.”
Derek was very patient, but Jessica decided not to let him take the upper hand.
Seeing that only two companies fought over the bid, the price had risen from three billion dollars to four billion dollars.
When it reached 4.3 billion, only one company insisted,
If Derek and Jessica didn’t speak up, the land would go to the other party.
Jessica glanced at Derek and snonted, “Raise your card, Wendy:
Jessica wanted to see how Derek would guess her bottom line.
Jessica added 20 million, and the other company also added 20 million.
Jessica continued to add. When she offered 4.4 billion, the company gave up.
At this time, Derek finally raised his card. He offered 4.5 billion.
Derek was really generous.
Jessica added up. Just like what she had done just now, she added twenty million each time.
No matter how much Derek offered, Jessica would add twenty million on the basis.
Hari watched with great interest, “Dick, with another two hundred million, it’ll be your limit, right?”
Derek glanced at Hari sideways and frowned in disgust. “Don’t call me Dick.”
“That’s not the point.”
Derek didn’t reply but offered 4.8 billion.
Wendy called Jessica. This price reached their extremity.
Jessica curled her lips and said directly, “48.5 billion.”
This time, Derek did not add up anymore, because it was really his limit.
Jessica kept pace with him. If Derek offered a more generous price, he had to cut down the profits.
This made everyone present a little surprised. After all, 50 million was not too much for the Fairbank family.
Besides, after winning this land, the potential profit would exceed 50 million dollars.
Even Wendy, who was beside Jessica, was a little surprised. “Miss Hall?”
Jessica glanced at Wendy and just smiled without saying anything.
Jessica asked Wendy to go through the formalities, while Jessica got up and went to Derek and Hari. “Mr. Fairbank.”
When Derek, who was just about to leave, heard Jessica’s words, he paused and turned around to look at Jessica. “Miss Hall, what’s
up?”
Jessica smiled and said, “I’ll have to trouble you with something.”
