The mysterious lady was very conceited. However, her actions continued to astonish the audience.
“Mom, did I hear it right?”
Betty was in disbelief, a look of surprise plastered on her face. “That country girl bid 60 million? How could she ask for such a high price?! Is she putting on an act?”
Sophia remained silent, but her cold gaze was fixed on Alyssa. Suddenly, she recalled something
and turned to look at Winston’s second wife, Mandy.
A cold smile crept on her lips as a smug thought crossed her mind. She wondered if Alice could survive the Taylor family if she wanted to go from rags to riches.
“70 million,” Jasper said and raised the paddle calmly. The light shone on him, creating an outline
of his silhouette. He looked so stunning that it was hard for anyone to look away.
He had raised the price to a new height. It left others determined to bid frustrated as they didn’t
have the means.
“75 million.”
Alyssa didn’t falter. She raised the paddle again without hesitation.
The crowd once again erupted in a frenzy!
Even Landon, who was used to big occasions, dared not speak. He felt like he was witnessing a
confrontation between two peerless cowboys in a standoff. The two were throwing shots at each
other, about to create a storm that could engulf everything.
“80 million.”
Alyssa remained calm and composed. However, she was frowning slightly.
She was beginning to feel the pressure. She had put in much effort to help Jonah obtain the chair.
Alyssa licked her lips, and a wave of determination surged in her heart. She didn’t need Jonah to
reimburse her as she could compete with Jasper using her private funds. However, she also knew
-when to cut her losses and weigh the pros and cons.
“After all, you were once married. You should be nice to her. She’s just a young lady. Is it necessary to compete with her in front of so many people? Isn’t that shameless?”
“She is representing Jonah by sitting there and competing with me. What does it have to do with her?” Jasper kept his gaze forward, his eyes cold and indifferent.
