Kneel Down to Win Back the Heiress Queen novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Bidding on It for Her

“Five million!”

At this moment, the item up for auction was coffee beans from Southridge.

Without hesitation, Winter raised her paddle. “Six million!”

Nancy said, “Seven million.”

Winter did not back down. “Eight million.”

Nancy frowned. The coffee beans from Southridge were indeed rare and valuable, but only a small amount was available here. It wasn’t worth eight million at all.

Clearly, Winter was just bidding against her out of spite. Thus, she set her paddle down.

Seeing Nancy give up, Winter felt her frustration ease a little. Nancy wasn’t even worthy of being her rival anymore.

However, Gideon raised his paddle in the next second.

“Ten million!”

A wave of gasps swept through the room.

Who was this man to casually call out such a price?

Winter gritted her teeth. “11 million!”

“15 million.” Gideon’s deep, magnetic voice was calm. It was almost as if he were buying groceries at

a store.

Winter was about to raise the bid again when Gideon glanced back at her. That icy, bone-chilling stare of his froze her in place, and she finally lowered her paddle.

The coffee beans from Southridge ended up in Gideon’s hands.

Nancy looked at him as she said, “Thank you.”

“Darling, did I ever say I was buying it for you?” He flashed her a teasing smile.

Nancy’s ears instantly warmed.

Indeed, the coffee beans from Southridge were a solid investment. People in high society all loved it. He probably bought them to serve his guests.

Nancy coughed awkwardly and corrected herself. “Congratulations on snagging the coffee beans.”

“I bought them for your dad,” he said with a low chuckle, his voice smooth and magnetic, utterly

captivating.

She couldn’t help swatting his shoulder lightly. “You’re so annoying.”

“What? What did I do?” He caught her soft hand. The silky feel of her skin made him reluctant to let

He kissed the back of her hand. “After all, I have to work hard to please my future father-in-law, don’t I?”

Nancy snorted in amusement and pulled her hand back.

Their exchange happened to be in Winter’s line of sight, and her expression turned darker by the second.

Even Wendy was startled, thinking that Winter’s expression made it look like she was ready to kill

someone.

The auction quickly reached its finale.

The last item was unveiled as the host enthusiastically introduced it. “Up for bid is a pair of earrings once worn by an ancient queen of Azrea, crafted from platinum and emerald gems. Even today, they are still an exquisite sight to behold. The starting bid is five million dollars!”

The earrings instantly caught the eyes of many young women in the room.

“Six million!”

“Seven million!”

“Ten million!”

The price soared quickly.

Raine’s eyes locked on the earrings. She quickly tugged Alex’s arm. “Alex, I want those!”

Alex hesitated, “We’ve already spent over 20 million dollars.” If he suddenly spent this much at once, Josephine would definitely start asking him questions.
