The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 86

Chapter86

The palace lantern made of drones above the villa just quietly burned, and it burned even stronger.

“Bidder No. 888 kept going, offered 6 million!”

On stage, the auctioneer’s voice was really excited: “Any higher bids? Please bid actively!”

The people below were all rolling their eyes.

Who would still keep following?

A Tanzanite that was already worth a million, and 1.2 million was already what they thought was the limit.

The price had already gone up several times, and there was also the risk of offending Maxwell. It just wasn’t worth it.

So, the only one who could join the bidding was that woman from 823.

So, everyone’s eyes were once again on the second floor.

In seat 823.

Then, everyone saw it–it was still that same hand.

Moon–white nails, snow–white skin, calm and decisive bidding.

Everyone in the room gasped.

Even the auctioneer paused for two seconds, then finally shouted-

“Bidder 823 kept bidding, offered 10 million!”

Ten million!

10 times!

It already went up 10 times!

Everyone was stunned, the whole place went quiet for two seconds, then there was a burst of loud, intense discussion.

“Still following!”

“823, this really was about to blow up Maxwell’s lights!”

“My god, that was so brave!”

“Am I really going to witness this historic moment!”

“All these years, no one had ever dared to challenge Maxwell like that!”

The buzzing at the scene almost blew the ceiling off.

Roxanne looked over at seat 823 and was so mad she almost ground her teeth to pieces.

She didn’t know what that woman called Serena really wanted to do.

What flashed in his eyes was calculation.

Then she turned around, grabbed her phone where Maxwell couldn’t see, and sent a message to someone, not sure who.

And at the same time, I saw Maxwell raise his hand again.

“Bidder No. 888 kept going, offered 12 million!”

The auctioneer shouted loudly.

“12 million, that’s already 12 times!”

“Twelve times, wow! Oh my god, what price will it hit today, will 823 still follow?”

It was just a piece of Tanzanite, but it sold for 12 million!

The whole place was noisy, lights kept flashing, and everyone was focused on those two seats on the second floor.

Just as everyone was talking, suddenly-

“This was malicious price gouging! This auction just wasn’t fair!”

I didn’t know who shouted in the crowd.

The explanation of malicious price–raising was-“During an auction, bidders or bidders and the auctioneer deliberately colluded and used abnormal means to raise the price of the auction item, in order to get unfair benefits or harm others‘ legal rights.”

The whole place suddenly went quiet for a moment, then it blew up again. Everyone started checking around them, but that person had already run off.

Didn’t know who it was.

Some people agreed-

“Yeah, until now 823 was just bidding and never lit up. Was it on purpose to make Maxwell pay a high price for that Tanzanite?”

But most people just watched for fun and didn’t really care-

“Maxwell wasn’t stupid, right? Since he dared to engaged in unlimited

bidding on that Tanzanite, he would’ve thought of something like this.”

“Yeah, Maxwell turned on the light himself, so he definitely wasn’t afraid of others raising the price, and besides, that amount of money was nothing to Maxwell.”

As the discussion got louder, the auctioneer also wanted to keep things in order: “Everyone, please quiet down. Dear guests, please stay calm. Our auction house under the Conway Group would not allow any malicious bidding.”

But nobody paid any attention to him, since everyone who got invited to this charity auction dinner wasn’t just some ordinary person.

As the discussion kept getting louder and someone even took out their phone like they wanted to send a message to the outside, at that
