Chapter 226

Irene didn't have time to ponder these things now. She focused on the Crescent Isle, still unsure why Yasmine suddenly gave up, but now Crescent Isle was hers.

As the final hammer strike echoed, Misty Evergreen Isle was presented to the woman in the corner. Xavier glanced over curiously; her voice felt oddly familiar, though he couldn't quite pinpoint where he had heard it before.

The auction was about to come to a close. Before it ended, Yasmine made her way to the restroom. She had just washed her hands when she heard Yvette's questioning voice, "Why did you suddenly back out? You're leaving me to foot the bill for Emerald Isle? I was only considering raising the bid because of you!"

Yasmine laughed mockingly, "Yvette, if I were you, I wouldn't have the nerve to stand here and say such things. I told you to tell Irene I wanted Emerald Isle. Did you relay that message?"

"I... I did, of course, I told her about it," Yvette stepped back a bit.

"Liar! I thought you'd wise up and choose to work with me after what happened last time, but now I see I gave you too much credit." Yasmine's face grew colder as she turned to leave. Unwilling to give up, Yvette grabbed her arm, "Then what about Emerald Isle?"

"Funny, you won it, so why are you asking me what to do? How is this any of my concern?" Yasmine shook off her hand.

"You!" Yvette was so furious she could barely stand.

Waiting outside the restroom for Yasmine were not just Yvette, but Irene was there too. As soon as Yasmine came out, Irene spoke up, "Thanks for letting me have it, Crescent Isle is finally mine."

"No worries," Yasmine replied with a forced smile as she quickly walked away.
