Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 225

When Yvette was about to raise her paddle, Xavier stopped her. Don't bid anymore." But she didn't want to listen, Yasmine aimed to deal with Irene, so she would definitely lure Irene to raise the bid. She defiantly raised her paddle high. "205 million!" This price had already far exceeded the inherent value of the island, yet Yvette was obliviously waiting for Yasmine to raise the bid again. To her surprise, neither Yasmine nor Irene raised their paddles.

"Once for 205 million! Twice for 205 million!" Yvette's forehead beaded with sweat as she wondered why they stopped bidding. "Three times for 205 million! Congratulations, Mrs. Flynn, the Emerald Isle is yours," announced the auctioneer. "What?" Yvette was still in a daze. She had just mindlessly bought Emerald Isle. "Why?"

Xavier didn't storm off right then and there, which was already giving her face. Annoyed, she glared at Yasmine's seatback, her eyes brimming with anger. Yet, when Yasmine turned back to look at her, her eyes were full of amusement. A chill ran down her spine; she had been played.

After the bidding for Emerald Isle ended, the auction room fell into a brief silence. The intense atmosphere from bidding for Emerald Isle was gone. The three properties that followed, in the southwest suburbs, Lingtong Isle, and Barton Isle, sold for 165 million, 65 million, and 148.5 million respectively.

The next property up for auction was Crescent Isle. Yasmine felt a sudden shift to a more serious atmosphere in the previously relaxed room. Morgan whispered quietly in Yasmine's ear, "Pay attention now."

Yasmine slightly nodded, but her gaze shifted to Irene in the front row, who had straightened her back as if taking things seriously too. It seemed that Yvette had informed Irene about Crescent Isle.

"The starting bid for Crescent Isle is 99 million, with each raise being 6.5 million," the auctioneer announced.

Yvette smiled and raised her paddle, "132 million." Many in the audience looked on in disbelief. She raised the bid by 33 million right from the start.

Yonas raised his paddle too. "165 million." These two really were in sync, bumping up the bid by 65 million in one go.

Yasmine glanced around. She saw Hunter lift his paddle and said, "181.5 million." She smiled softly, saying nothing, as Morgan upped the bid once more, "195 million dollars."

Not wanting to be outdone, Irene declared, "200 million."

the price was beyond what they could afford. "Xavier, I'm sorry, I didn't expect..." she began to apologize. But Xavier didn't even give her a glance, remaining composed as he watched others raise their
