Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 261

However, Gavin didn't make any moves. He knew that when it came to those reckless enough to provoke Yolanda, she preferred to handle it personally.

As Gavin expected, the banquet hall fell into a brief silence after the host finished speaking.

Then, Yolanda calmly raised her bidding paddle and said, "1.55 million."

This immediately drew the attention of the guests around her. Some people in the hall recognized her, while others did not. But those who knew Yolanda sneered at her behavior, thinking she was flaunting her status by relying on Gavin's support.

After all, with the Henderson family's position alone, she wouldn't have qualified to attend such an auction, let alone have the financial strength to bid over a million dollars.

"Alright, Ms. Henderson has bid 1.55 million dollars. 1.55 million dollars going once!" the host boomed into the microphone.

He had done his research and knew about the preferences of the guests present. Therefore, he suspected that no one else would bid. He did not want the atmosphere to fall flat, so he tried to close the sale quickly and move on to the next item.

But just then, a woman's voice rang out from behind Yolanda.

"Two million dollars!"

It was Queenie.

Queenie confidently raised her paddle and shouted out her bid. She wasn't particularly interested in the necklace. She just didn't want Yolanda to be the center of attention.

Moreover, if she could snatch away Yolanda's desired item for just a few million dollars, she was more than willing to spend that money.

She never thought Yolanda would dare to continue bidding. But it was only an increase of 50 thousand dollars, so Gavin could probably afford that.

And so, Queenie raised her paddle again. "2 million and 300 thousand dollars!"

She fumed inwardly, thinking that an adopted daughter like Yolanda wouldn't dare challenge her further.

Unfortunately, Yolanda continued bidding without hesitation. Each time, she would merely raise the bidding price by 50 thousand dollars, as the minimum bidding increment for this auction was exactly 50 thousand dollars.

Yolanda's tactic was steadily getting under Queenie's skin. If she stopped bidding now, Yolanda would get what she wanted. But if she continued competing, she would be forced to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a necklace, which she wasn't keen on doing.

While Queenie hesitated about giving up, Yolanda casually glanced back at her. Her gaze was indifferent, yet Queenie thought she saw mockery deep within Yolanda's eyes.
