Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 566

Juna leaned in close to Lydia and whispered, “Looks like he is really set on winning this for you. Maybe you should just let him have it.” Sure, all the money was going to charity, but they couldn’t just keep outbidding each other. Lydia sighed and decided to give in. If her dad wanted her to have it this badly, there was no reason to keep fighting.

Everyone watched, waiting for Lydia to raise her paddle again. But after a moment, she didn’t move. The auctioneer’s voice rang out, “One hundred million, once. One hundred million, twice. One hundred million, sold!”

Instead of saying Lydia didn’t have enough money, the crowd actually started complimenting her. “Miss L is so gracious, stepping aside for the richest man in the country.” “She really has a big heart. It’s amazing to see someone let go so easily.”

Mrs. Trebel leaned over to Kylie and gushed, “I never realized Miss L was so generous. Just giving up the painting like that—she’s incredible.”

Lucinda could barely hide her annoyance. She really wanted to tell Mrs. Trebel to stop talking. Kylie just smiled and nodded. “Yes, Lydia… Miss L is truly something else.”

Lydia didn’t win the painting. Sitting in the back, Jenson and Milana could hardly contain their disdain. “Miss L, huh? Maybe she’s a fake. Can’t even put up a hundred million?” Milana muttered.

Jenson shook his head, looking disappointed. Only a hundred million and she gave up?

“She probably got scared Cameron would keep raising the price and she’d be stuck with it. So she quit while she could,” Jenson said.

Milana rolled her eyes. “So what if she’s famous? The moment she goes up against real money, she can’t compete.”

Sandy snorted. “Didn’t she act all high and mighty at that black market auction with the golden antler? Where’s that attitude now? Maybe being Miss L isn’t such a big deal after all.”
