Chapter 133 Bidding War

A faint blush crept across Megan’s luminous face. She tried to pull her left hand back, but Seeting wou let go. She couldn’t struggle too obviously-someone might notice.

Stefan felt her tugging. He ignored it, acting as if nothing was happening

He’d reached for her hand earlier to signal her not to bid on the Quintessence Elixirs. Since hed refined them himself, giving some to Megan-this charming widow-was no problem.

He’d already given one to Janet, Nina’s bodyguard. In his eyes, Nina and Megan were equally importan Couldn’t play favorites.

Nina leaned in, her voice low. “Stefan, these Quintessence Elixirs are causing a real feeding frenzy.”

Stefan casually released Megan’s hand. Wouldn’t want Nina to catch them holding hands-that’d be awkward to explain.

Stefan responded, “The bidding is higher than I expected”

Megan noticed Stefan let go the moment Nina leaned in to whisper. She bit her lip, casting a slightly reproachful glance his way.

This man. So greedy.

He’d only let go because he didn’t want Nina to see. That realization annoyed her.

Megan leaned in too. “What are you two whispering about?”

Nina’s eyes flicked toward her. “It’s none of your business.”

Megan smiled, “Nina, dear, I recall you practice martial arts. Why aren’t you bidding on these elixirs?”

“Since when do my affairs concern you?” Nina’s tone was cool. Then she shot back, “Your Spencer family has martial artists too. You’re not bidding either.”

The moment the words left her mouth, Nina’s eyes widened. She turned to Stefan with a questioning look. Stefan stared intently at the auction stage, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

Megan chuckled softly and said no more. She’d made her point-whatever Nina got from Stefan, she’d get too. Knowing Nina’s sharp mind, she’d figure it out.

“Four hundred million dollars!”

“Four hundred twenty million dollars!”

“Four hundred fifty million dollars!”

The bidding for the second elixir climbed past the first.

Chapter 133 Bidding War

Suddenly, Hazel touched her earpiece. “We have a phone bid. Five hundred million dollars

The room went quiet.

+10 Frau Custo

Regulars at Bjorn’s auctions knew phone bids were rare. When they happened, it meant someone important-someone too big to attend in person. Not just anyone could phone in a bid. Marcus, for instance-if he tried, Bjorn wouldn’t even take the call.

At five hundred million dollars from a mysterious big shot, no one countered. Too high, and too risky offend whoever was on that phone.

The second elixir sold for five hundred million dollars.

Hazel smiled, “Now, our third Quintessence Elixir.”

Bidding opened-and the frenzy resumed.

This time, Marcus bid. “Four hundred million dollars!”

He’d called his father, who’d said, “Get one, no matter what.”

“Four hundred twenty million dollars!”

“Four hundred fifty million dollars!”
