The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 98

When Violet heard the fifty-million bid, she hesitated.

McNeil spoke in a low, steady voice. "Isn't this for the matriarch's birthday? If she loves landscape paintings, it's worth paying a little extra."

Yasmine raised her paddle. "One hundred million."

The auctioneer smiled politely. "Miss, did you understand my gesture just now?"

Many people around shot Yasmine contemptuous looks. It was obvious she'd never been to an auction before-who bids like that?

Yasmine gave a cold smile. "Maybe Mr. Langford thinks it's not worth it and will back out. But our boss likes this painting, so I have to fight for it."

McNeil didn't even glance her way. "Two hundred million."

Violet's cheeks flushed; she could barely contain her happiness.

"Mr. Langford is really generous to Ms. Marchand, isn't he?"

"Oh my God, two hundred million for a painting? I heard it was worth, at most, eighty million. Mr. Langford must really have money to burn for his girlfriend."
