I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1066

“My husband’s income doesn’t concern you.” Sydney was so angry that she raised her paddle out of spite. “Eight million!”

Angela sneered and followed suit, “Nine million!”

Sydney glanced at her coldly and gritted her teeth before raising her bid, “Eleven million!”

Angela looked at her tauntingly and shouted, “Thirteen million dollars!”

Sydney gasped, thinking, ‘Angela’s about to outbid me, but I must defend my pride and honor.’

She gritted her teeth again and yelled, “Fifteen million!”

She was not as bold as Angela and could only raise the bid by a little. Sydney dared not raise her bid more than she already did. Although she wanted to defend her pride, she had to watch her spending.

Angela sneered again. She would not let Sydney fight back anymore. “Twenty million dollars!”

Sydney’s eyes widened as her lips quivered. However, she could say nothing.

‘Angela must know that I can’t afford to compete with her. She did that on purpose just to make me look bad. Bah! I’m pissed, but I can’t do anything about it!’

Angela saw the frustration in Sydney’s eyes. The former smiled triumphantly and asked, “Why aren’t you bidding anymore? Are you all out of money? If that’s the best you can do, the necklace will belong to me.”

Sydney wanted to retort, but no words came to her. After all, she had run out of money.

‘I could scrape twenty-eight million dollars together if I wanted to, but that’s too much just to spite Angela. After all, Gunnar isn’t the head of the family and only owns some of the family’s shares.

‘Forget it. I’ll just bear with Angela. The worst she can do to me is make more sarcastic remarks. I only need to wait until the tea party ends, and I can leave.’

Suddenly, Bonnie asked, “Is Angela your rival or something, Sydney?”

‘I didn’t want to get involved, but Sydney is right—we’re family. We can bicker behind closed doors but must stand together against our enemies out here. Angela’s oozing with superiority now, so I need to help Sydney.’

Sydney glanced at Bonnie and thought, ‘This has nothing to do with her since she’s just like Angela. They’re just upsetting me. That said, I guess Bonnie is slightly different. At least she’s family.’
