Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 247 Veronica’s Moment of Glory

Veronica realized that she had acted very impulsively, but it was fortunate because she was confident that Ruka would bid for it too.

Veronica tilted her head and looked at Ruka with a smile on her face. As for Ruka, she leaned forward and looked at Veronica with a smile on her face as well.

Matthew sat in between them and separated the two of them. He crossed his legs and sat straight in his seat with his eyes looking to the front, but he could clearly sense the battle between the two women.

“I heard that Veronica’s not that well-off. How dare she place such a high bid. She must be doing that because she has the Kings’ to back her up.”

“She saved Young Master Matthew and Old Mrs. Kings’ lives before, so twenty million is nothing. Even if she used fifty million, the Kings would not bat an eyelid at all.”

“Hah! She’s giving me the chance to see how a nouveau riche behaves.”

“She’s just an ordinary woman who isn’t familiar with the outside world. She’s too dumb and clueless. It’s just a simple sapphire necklace, and yet she has placed a bid for twenty million on that.”

…

There were some people who were annoyed with Veronica’s frenzied bidding, and they found her actions wildly arrogant.

Meanwhile, Ruka slowly lifted her bidding card as she tilted her head to look at Veronica. “Twenty-one million!”

“Wow! The eldest daughter of the Dame Family is indeed wealthy.”

“Although Tiffany is much prettier than Ruka, I still prefer the eldest daughter of the Dame Family. She’s much more intellectual in her ways.”

“I wonder who would be lucky enough to marry her?”

“That person must be quite impressive too.”

…

Veronica remained silent amid the loud speculation.

The host continued to yell out, “The eldest daughter of the Dame Family has placed a bid for twenty-one million. Is there anyone out there who wishes to place another bid? Twenty-one million once… Twenty-one million twice…”

As the host continued to yell, Veronica snorted, but she didn’t place another bid.

Meanwhile, Yvonne, who was by her side, moved in front of Veronica and whispered, “You’re too naughty. You’ve raised the bidding price so much all of a sudden. Weren’t you worried that she wouldn’t place another bid?”

“She’ll definitely bid on it.” Veronica was full of confidence.
