The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 123

Marissa chuckled to herself, thinking, 'Kayla is definitely a good weapon.' Then, she looked up at Paisley, curious to see how Paisley would react to being accused of faking the bid.

Marissa thought, 'Paisley, I don't believe you do have 33 million dollars. If Paisley really has 33 million dollars, why would she live in such a place?' She had been to Paisley's house to pick up Grayson. Paisley lived in a very ordinary neighborhood.

Kayla's words stirred up a storm. People began to speculate. "She dares to fake a bid openly? Impossible, right? But that lady doesn't even have a proper seat. She's sitting with those poor kids..."

At that moment, Diana, who had been silently observing, smiled and said in a neutral tone, "All guests who are allowed to enter the venue and participate in the bidding have gone through a financial verification process. Ms. Vanderbilt, you didn't know that?"

Kayla froze, thinking, 'I indeed knew nothing about that.' She had come with Marissa today, thinking they were just meeting Nion. It wasn't until she arrived at the venue that she realized it was an auction, and Nion's painting was one of the items up for bid.

'But if I didn't know, did Marissa not know either?' Kayla thought, turning to look at Marissa.

Marissa gave an awkward smile and was actually irritated by Diana's interference. "I knew. I just didn't expect Ms. Sutton would have bidding qualifications. I thought there was some misunderstanding."

Kayla, convinced by Marissa's explanation, turned her focus back to competing with Paisley.

Paisley remained calm and kindly reminded her, "Ms. Vanderbilt, if you don't raise your bid, the painting will be mine."

Kayla, startled, quickly shouted, "Forty million dollars."

"Forty-five million."

"Fifty million."
