At this moment, Michelleâs voice interrupted Alexâs concentration. âAlex, do you want the tuber
fleeceflower?â
That was because the tuber fleeceflower was the auction item that was currently displayed on the
screen in the VIP room.
Alex glanced at the screen and casually hummed in agreement.
At this moment, the current price had reached seven million dollars, coincidentally it was bidded by
Pepper.
She seemed convinced in obtaining it.
However, Michelle immediately put forward a price of ten million dollars.
The auctioneer called, âVIP room No. 1 has bidded ten million dollars. Is there any bidder with a call
higher than ten million dollars?â
Most of the attendees knew that the little devil from the Yowell family and the Australian lobster guy
were the occupants of VIP Room No. 1. Some people who wanted to contest the bid decided not to do
it as they did not want to provoke the Yowell family.
Pepper frowned and shouted again, âEleven million dollars!â
âFifteen million dollars!â Michelle added.
âSixteen million dollars!â
âTwenty million dollars!â
Alex saw Baldy beside Pepper whispering in her ears as she hesitated, to which she gave up the
bidding. The tuber fleeceflower was sold to Michelle at a hammer price of twenty million dollars.
The next three lots were of minor importance.
Then, a wild snow lotus, which was huge sized and cultivated a long time ago, was auctioned.
âGet this,â said Alex.
The snow lotus was not needed for the Yowell family but was extremely helpful for Brittanyâs cultivation
of Silver Frost.
Apparently, Pepper and Baldy had their sights set on the snow lotus as well, with the bidding price
soaring to a staggering thirty million dollars.
Throughout the auction, Alex had his cold eyes set on Pepper. Where did all her money come from?
Who was she actually?
He knew, by intuition, that she had an ulterior motive working for his father. She was definitely involved
in his death. Alex decided that he would like to ask her a few questions after the auction.
âFifty million!â Michelle bidded another high price without blinking an eye, as though that was a meager
amount of five dollars.
âCrap!â Baldy was livid and fiercely slammed his fist down on the seat.
Alex was a little surprised as he realized that Baldy was Japanese.
Meanwhile, Pepper raised her head and glared fiercely at the VIP room No. 1, as though she could see
through the glass window and meet gaze with Alex. Unfortunately, the window was covered with two-
way mirrors, so she could not see anything behind it.
In the end, Michelle had successfully bidded the snow lotus.
The star of the show tonight was a two-century-old ginseng that Michelle wanted adamantly.
The auction of the lot started aggressively, with its price soaring hastily.
Pepper and Baldy were part of the group as well, aggressively outbidding each other.
âOne hundred million!â
Pepper bidded a high price of one hundred million dollars, and immediately dwarfed everyone elseâs
attempts. Apparently, the tuber fleeceflower and snow lotus were not her actual targets, but the ginseng
was the main reason she attended the auction tonight.
Seeing that no one else tried to outbid Pepper, Alex saw Pepper exuded a proud smile of victory, as
though the item had already belonged to her. She even threw a cold glance at his direction.
Suddenly, the auctioneer called, âVIP room No. 1 has bidded 150 million dollars, calling once!â
What?
In that instant, Pepper was flushed with intense anger.
One hundred million dollars was her limit, and she could not bid at a higher price.
At this moment, Baldy turned around and placed his hand on her thigh as he whispered, âItâs fine if we
canât bid it, we will get it free of charge from that trash. Letâs go and get prepared.â
A glint of wickedness flashed across Pepperâs eyes as she snickered.
