Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101

This time, Rex didn’t follow suit.

In the end. Julia won the antique vase for 50 million, attracting admiring glances from everyone in the hall.

Once the deal was done, Julia’s heart was still not entirely at ease.

Although the Brown family was quite wealthy, and her grandmother loved antiques, spending this much money on a single

I still felt like a huge deal.

If her family found out about the price, they would definitely be shocked.

Moreover, Franklin had essentially agreed to let her go as high as 70 million.

But she still felt uneasy about the price. She privately capped her bid at 50 million.

Thinking of Franklin’s generosity and wealth, Julia felt a warmth spread through her chest.

Jessica whispered: “Damn! 50 million!”

These two items together had already cost 50 million, and she felt the pang of jealousy deep in her bones.

Her envy wasn’t just at the money–she felt a sense of physical discomfort, as if every inch of her body was aching.

Maggie pursed her lips, her expression unreadable.

Jessica noticed her reaction and asked softly, “Mag, are you… okay?”

Franklin’s generosity toward his mistress, and the fact that she was the daughter of her mother’s mistress, made the situation even more difficult to swallow.

Could she handle this?

But Maggie’s expression wasn’t sour because of that.

“Franklin has money. He can spend it however he likes. It doesn’t bother me.”

“What I care about is, if there’s something I want to bid on and Franklin and Julia also want it, with my financial situation, I can’t possibly outbid them.”

Jessica realized the gravity of the situation: “That’s true… But she’s already bought two items. She probably won’t bid anymore, right?”

Let’s hope so.

But knowing Franklin’s wealth, he could easily spend another few hundred million without blinking.

Just as Maggie was thinking this, the next item she had her eye on–a piece of embroidered art–was brought out.

The starting price for the embroidery was 700,000 dollars.

Someone immediately bid: “900,000.”

Maggie raised her paddle: “1 million.”

At first, Julia didn’t seem to notice Maggie.

But as soon as Maggie spoke, Julia recognized her voice.

She turned and locked eyes with Maggie.

There was no emotion on Julia’s face, and she quickly turned away, raising her paddle: “2 million.”

Maggie’s heart sank immediately.

Julia had recognized her voice, and she didn’t believe for a second that Franklin hadn’t noticed.

But he didn’t even glance at her.

Jessica cursed under her breath: “Damn! She’s really at it again!”

Rex also entered the competition: “2.5 million.”

Maggie pursed her lips and raised her paddle again: “2.8 million.”

Julia didn’t turn back but directly raised her bid: “5 million.”

She raised the price significantly!

Maggie’s heart sank even lower.

She didn’t have much money at hand.

Initially, her budget for the auction was around 8 million.

After all, the Miller family’s business was not doing well lately.

They didn’t have much spare cash to throw around.

But now…

Rex raised his bid: “7 million.”

Maggie raised her paddle immediately: “8 million.”

Her voice was clear and gentle, carrying a sweet tone that caught everyone’s attention.

Rex turned to look at her, a glint of surprise in his eyes.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Divorce for a Long Time

If she really sold the villa, she could use that money for something much more meaningful.

Julia happened to glance over, noticing a series of numbers without a name attached. She asked, “A stranger?”
