The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 552

"Lance." Keira called out, a hint of confusion in her voice as she noticed Lance's hesitation.

Snapping back to reality, Lance saw the unease and humility on Keira's face, gritting his teeth. Eventually, he found his resolve again, lifting his paddle to bid, "Thirteen million!"

Chloe scoffed, also raising her paddle, her voice icy, "Thirty million!"

Her words sent a low murmur through the room. The jump in bidding broke yet another record for the night, reminding some of the past relationship between Chloe and Lance. Could it be that Chloe couldn't bear to see Lance successfully win the "My Queen" piece for her sister?

Two sisters fighting over a man, drama was certainly not in short supply tonight.

Despite the escalating price, Keira felt immense joy watching Chloe lose control. Lance's face turned increasingly grim, clearly troubled by Chloe's actions.

At that moment, Keira took his hand, whispering, "Lance, you don't have to keep going. I don't need it."

Lance just shook his head, his eyes filled with a touch of helplessness. He glanced at Chloe, sitting there coldly, oblivious to what she might be thinking.

Once again, he raised his paddle, "Forty million!"

The atmosphere in the room instantly peaked as everyone eagerly watched the standoff between the former fiancés.

Sure enough, Chloe soon raised her paddle again, "Sixty million!"
