Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Was he going to stand up for ’her’?

"$18.5 million."

"$20 million," Ella did not hesitate.

The bidding continued until the other person finally stopped bidding, "Since Miss likes it this much, I will let her have it." He said in an attempt to save his face while looking gracious.

The person who had called the bid earlier was from a low-tier room. Initially, he had continued the bid because he quite liked the painting but seeing that Ella was in a high-tier room, he hesitated.

Finally when it seemed like he was burning his pockets while the other person was not even hesitating in raising the bid by a million, he did not dare to continue further.

"$20 million..." The auctioneer declared, "Going once... Going Twice..."

"$25 million!" A gentle voice cut through the place.

The crowd gasped at the straight leap of $5 million.

"Isn’t this the lady who got the beautifying pills?"

"Wait, the other lady is also in... one of those rooms!"

"Since when did we have so many big shots in Westra City?"

"$25 million... going once..."

Ella calmly nudged the mic forward, "$26 million.’’

In Room no. 8, there were icicles growing from the walls.

The moment Ella had opened her mouth to bid for the painting, Ji Yan recognized her voice.

How could he not? He had been traumatized by her actions so many times that he could tell her from the sound of her footsteps. And if he could recognize her voice, then—

Ji Yan slowly glanced at the throne chair in front of him where a man was seated, his head leaning back on it. His eyes were closed but his slightly curled fingers intensified his aura.

How could his second master not recognize that voice?!

"Ah, it seems like the other lady really wants the painting," Lilith was seated at the couch where the mic was installed by the auction house.

She had turned the mic off to speak, "But I quite like the painting as well. It perfectly aligns with my father’s preference. What do you think, Ace?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Adrian through her lowered lashes.

Adrian did not respond. He remained still in the throne chair, never once moving in the slightest.

"$26 million... Going once..." The auctioneer’s energetic voice rang.

Lilith elegantly straightened up on the couch, "$50 million,’’ she smiled softly.

"$50 million! This beautiful vintage painting has risen up to become one of the most valued paintings of the night! Can its value go any higher?" The auctioneer’s voice sent the crowds in a frenzy.

In the next moment, a soft voice was heard—

"$50 million and one cent."

Shocked murmurs and whispers dominated the crowd.

Lilith’s smile wavered for a moment before she calmed herself and straightened up, "$100 million."

"$100 million and one cent."
