The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 271

Andrea looked right at her, eyes glinting with open challenge.

“Sorry, Evelynn, but I like this set too. And when I want something, I don’t give up without a fight.”

As she spoke, Max sat beside her, quietly swirling his wine. His expression was impossible to read, cool and distant.

Felicia met Andrea’s gaze, her face calm. “Is that so? Well, may the best woman win.”

While they spoke, the bidding had already shot up, passing thirty-one million after three quick rounds.

Andrea didn’t hesitate. She raised her paddle and called out, “Fifty million.”

Everyone in the room turned to stare at the main table. It was clear this set wasn’t going to anyone else tonight.

Felicia calmly raised her own paddle. “Sixty million.”

The tension in the room was palpable. The auction host, sitting between them, could feel the intensity building, every nerve stretched tight.

This had turned into a showdown between two ladies, and everyone else faded into the background.

Max and Jeremy, sitting quietly beside them, watched without saying a word, seemingly content to let them battle it out.

The price kept climbing, soon reaching ninety-five million.

No one else dared to speak. They were all just watching, caught up in the drama, waiting to see who would win the emerald set.

Andrea’s voice rang out, “One hundred and ten million.”

Felicia didn’t miss a beat. “One hundred and eleven million.”

Her bids were getting smaller each time, calm and unhurried.

Andrea glanced at Felicia’s unruffled expression and felt her temper flare. She couldn’t help glancing back at Max.

He leaned in and spoke softly, “If you want it, go for it.”

Reassured, Andrea added thirty million in one go.
