The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 87

Jonathan immediately glanced at Christopher, feeling that he was doing it on purpose.

His expected price range was 40 million dollars, and going beyond that felt a bit excessive.

But after some hesitation, he raised the bid. "42 million dollars."

On the one hand, he wanted to surprise Juliana. On the other hand, he didn't want Christopher to outbid him.

Since Christopher had decided not to let go of the Yancey family, he had no reason to hold back!

Christopher continued to raise the bid. "50 million dollars." He added 8 million dollars in one go, leaving many people shocked and gasping for breath. All of them look at Christopher in shock. It was clear that the emerald earrings weren't worth this price!

Cecilia leaned toward Christopher and whispered, "If you're trying to compete with Jonathan, there's no need."

"I'm not that childish. I just think the earrings suit you very well."

Cecilia was stunned for a moment and refused, "I don't have the habit of wearing jewelry, and I won't accept such an extravagant gift."

"The price has already been called. I can't back out now. Even if you don't wear them, you can admire them."

As for the part about "not accepting gifts", Christopher simply filtered it out.

Seeing that the die was cast, Cecilia didn't say anything more.

However, just as the auctioneer was about to conclude the

bidding, Jonathan once again raised the bid, "60 million dollars!"

All eyes that were on Christopher now turned to Jonathan.

He lifted his chin slightly, displaying an arrogant demeanor, and even glanced provocatively at Christopher.

"Mr. Forte, still want to add more?"

"If he wanted to sn**ch what I desired, he had to be prepared to pay a hefty price!" he mused.

Recently, Yancey Corporation received a compensation of over 2 billion dollars. Spending a few million to challenge Christopher was worth it. Christopher's thin lips twitched slightly.

Before he could speak, Cecilia tugged on his arm.

With her cheeks puffed up, she pretended to be angry.

"No more bidding! I'll treat you as a big fool and won't talk to you anymore!"

Seeing Cecilia's sweet and cute looks, Christopher nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll only buy things that are worth it." Although Jonathan had successfully won the emerald earrings, ne didn't feel particularly happy about it.

That wicked woman was right; he had indeed been a big fool. He felt like Christopher had tricked him.

He spent 60 million dollars on the earrings when he could ave gotten them for around 20 million. 'specially when people around were looking at him like a fool, naking him particularly irritated.

f it weren't for his curiosity about the mysterious auction item, e would have left a long time ago. More than ten minutes later, it was finally the turn of number

15.

In other words, the mysterious auction item was about to be unveiled.

Before that, the lowest closing price for the auction was 32 million dollars. It was a calligrapher's authentic work.

The highest closing price was 2.4 billion dollars, selling a large-scale tourism project in Quilton.

With these large auction items preceding it, Cecilia was less worried.

The auctioneer didn't keep everyone in suspense. He smiled and said, "I know everyone has been waiting for this moment.

, let's unveil the mysterious auction item together."

Then he looked at Cecilia and said, "The seller of the mysterious auction item is also there. She will personally explain it to everyone." The moment he finished speaking, the spotlight was focused on Cecilia.

She was caught off guard, and the intense light made it difficult for her to open her eyes. She had to shield her eyes with her hand. Christopher held her cold hand and said, "Go ahead, explain it yourself. It will work better."

Letting Cecilia explain it was a decision Christopher made on the spot. He had Matthias to arrange for it.

Not only was it easier to sell the herb plantation, but he also wanted the Yancey family to know what they had lost because of stu**dity!

Feeling the strength in her palm, Cecilia steadied herself and elegantly walked onto the stage.

She was dressed up very stunningly that day. Under the spotlight, she seemed to be glowing, and her beauty was

breathtaking.

Jonathan was utterly stunned, and he didn't come to his senses. until Cecilia stepped onto the stage.

The beautiful female voice sounded, and his eyes refocused.

Cecilia had observed the commentator before and knew how to conduct the presentation.

She stood beside the big screen and explained while operating the computer to display slides.

"The mysterious auction item is a herb plantation of 1.65 acres, cultivated with rare herbs. Even in a bad market, the price for one medicinal herb can reach 10,000 dollars. If the market is good, it can double. There are more than 50,000 medicinal herbs in the herb plantation."

"If you are in the pharmaceutical business, you don't need to think twice. You can buy it directly because the land for growing medicinal herbs is also included in the auction. I will provide the soil formula, and you can continue to produce the herbs in the future."

"Of course, even if you are not in the pharmaceutical business, you can still buy it because whether for resale or retail, you will always make a profit."

After explaining, she announced the starting price of the herb plantation. "The starting price is 1 billion dollars, with a minimum increment of 20 million dollars each time."

Then she added, "Of course, don't raise the price too high. Going beyond 1.4 billion dollars won't be profitable."

As a seller of the auction items, they usually complained about the selling price being too low.

This was the first time someone refused to allow the price to be raised.

Cecilia's candor left a good impression on everyone.

People who were originally not interested in herb plantations began to think seriously about whether they should bid for it.

Jousthan thought that the herb plantation was something Christopher presented to Cecilia for her dignity

It wasn't until he saw the address of the herb plantation that he knew he was wrong

The herb plantation belonged to Cecilia herself!

The few pieces of land he looked down upon before were worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

He felt a burning sensation on his face when he thought about how everyone in the Yancey family thought Cecilia only made 2,000 to 4,000 dollars a year and often looked down on her. But soon, he blamed it on Cecilia,

She must have hidden the truth because she was worried that her family would ask for her money,

She deserved to be looked down upon!

However, on second thought, if the bidding price for the herb plantation was not too high, he could consider acquiring it. Among the people present, there were not many who were in the pharmaceutical business.

But they all knew how to do business.

Prime Auction House's auction was well-received, and he wouldn't resort to fraud.

In other words, Cecilia's words were true.

Soon someone raised the bid. "1.02 billion dollars."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia wore a beautiful smile on her face, making the lights pale in comparison.

"1.04 billion dollars!"

Soon, the price was raised to 1.22 billion dollars.

The price was simply too high, and those who had bid before.

gave up, leaving only two people persevering.

One of them was Jonathan, and the other was in the pharmaceutical business.

The latter knew the real value of the herb plantation and

wanted to acquire it, but he didn't have sufficient funds. So, he had to give up.

In the end, Jonathan acquired the herb plantation for 1.*2 billion dollars.

Cecilia didn't expect that.

She didn't know how Jonathan would feel when he found out that the money he used to buy the herb plantation was all spent by her to purchase Yancey Corporation's shares. She stepped off the stage and sat down, asking Christopher, "Can we go now?"

"Not yet. We can only make the transaction after the auction ends."

"Then, let's wait a bit more."

Half an hour later, the auction ended.

Jonathan walked up to Cecilia, arrogantly accusing her, "Do you think it's interesting to pretend to be poor and fool us around?"

Cecilia was well aware that she could never wake up a person who pretended to be asleep or correct someone who thought she was wrong.

She raised her red lips and smiled brightly. "It's interesting."

After saying that, she spread her hands and said, "Mr. Yancey, give me the money!"
