The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 88

Chapter88

It was 15 times!

It was already 15 times a million!

The auction hall had always been really noisy before, but now it was quiet as a mouse.

It seemed like everyone held their breath, just waiting for this final result.

“Bidder No. 823 offered 15 million dollars, is there a higher bid?”

As Garrett’s voice came up again, everyone’s eyes were on Maxwell.

Maxwell, on the other hand, kept a straight face and slightly raised his right hand for the unlimited bidding.

Then, everyone heard Garrett’s voice again-

“Bidder No. 888 kept bidding, offered 18 million!”

18 times!

Everyone gasped.

It was just a piece of Tanzanite, and it sold for 18 million dollars!

And this might not even be the final price!

“Bidder No. 888 offered 18 million dollars, is there any higher bid?”

Garrett made fast progress, and the live pressure was intense.

Everyone looked at the woman with mask mumber 823 again.

Did she still dare to keep following?

If she bid again and blew up the lights, could she afford that price?

But with Maxwell’s wealth, how could just 18 million possibly make him give up?

But what if Maxwell was willing to pay a higher price?

For example, how much did the masked woman offer, and did he give the same amount to charity at the same time?

This was just a piece of cake for him. After all, just based on the info that was made public, Maxwell’s charity donations last year already went over a billion.

Including but not limited to scholarships from various universities, rural development, treatment for sick children, serious illness medical funds, donations for natural disasters, donations to special schools, various special support funds, and so on.

This was still charity donations made in his own name or as a couple, and the charity work done under the name of the Humphrey Group was even bigger.

So, if he got mad and was willing to pay the price to make the other person lose a lot or even ruin their reputation, it was possible.

And did this masked woman have the guts to keep bidding?

The place was quiet, and everyone’s eyes were on the woman in seat 823 again.

Then, the woman’s face stayed the same, and her right hand kept lifting.

“Bidder No. 823 kept bidding, offered 20 million!”

As Garrett’s voice spread through the arena.

Everyone looked at the masked woman differently.

Went crazy!

She was definitely crazy!

It was already 20 times!

Was she really not scared?

Her bidding rival was Maxwell!

And he had engaged in unlimited bidding!

“Bidder No. 823 offered 20 million dollars, is there any higher bid?”

So, even when Garrett passed the conversation to Maxwell, nobody shifted their attention away from the masked woman.

Everyone was looking at this woman.

Or you could say, This lunatic!

Although many of the 20 million people present could afford it, after all, everyone invited to this charity auction dinner was upper–class and either rich or powerful.

But nobody thought they could be crazier than this masked woman.

What flashed in Maxwell’s eyes was cold and sharp.

This was already a provocation.

The other person kept making bold, almost mocking offers, each time

pushing his limits.

It wasn’t the limit of power or money.

But it was the limit of emotional endurance.

The limit of being the top boss of the Humphrey Group, Maxwell.

Maxwell raised his right hand again, meaning the raising the price again.

“Bidder No. 888 kept bidding, offered 25 million!”

The whole place was shocked.

25 times!

The bidding had reached this point, and it was already beyond what anyone there had expected.

No, maybe, except for one person.

“Bidder No. 888 offered 25 million dollars, is there any higher bid?”

Everyone kept staring at the masked woman in seat 823.

Maxwell was, too.

His eyes narrowed, staring hard at the woman in front of him.

Tried to pierce her mask and see her true heart under the skin.

And this woman just smiled a little, then she raised her right hand.

But this time it wasn’t making an offer, but putting his right hand on his left chest and bowing a little.

“You won,” she said, “Congratulations, Mr. Humphrey.”

The woman’s calm, gentle voice echoed through the whole place.

Everyone was stunned.

When everyone thought this woman would go crazy again, she just backed out.

And he backed off really calmly.

Everything played out like she had planned it. She was the one in control, and Maxwell was just the one who got pulled in.

The light shone on the slightly bowing woman, and the silver satin gown showed off her slim figure perfectly to everyone.

Did she really lose?

The scene was a real mix of people.
