Chapter 121

Birthday Gift

Lucille's

gaze swept past the crowd and landed on the CD.

The date written on it was a day before her seventh birthday.

At the time, the world-famous Annabelle took the camera to the backstage lounge after saying her last farewells to her beloved stage with tears in her eyes. She gently stated that she would prepare a birthday gift for her daughter. Unfortunately, before Lucille could receive the gift, the Jules family was destroyed overnight.

After searching far and wide, it turned out that the CD was in Shein City.

No wonder she couldn't find it in Dilsburg no matter how hard she looked.

Lucille closed her eyes.

She wondered if this was fate.

Soon, the bidding price rose from 50 million to 57 million. The atmosphere gradually heated up. Finally, a rich businessman opened his mouth and shouted, "I'll pay 100 million dollars!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

He was paying 100 million for a single CD. It was insane!

The rich businessman puffed out his chest and seemed to be very satisfied with the envious look in everyone's eyes. He opened his mouth, looking a little arrogant, and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid? If not, I'll take it away." It seemed that he was determined to get it.

With a click of her tongue, Molly chewed on the candy in her mouth and questioned, "Lucille, shall we raise our paddle?"

It was about time.

Lucille said, "Do it."

Molly immediately raised the paddle up high.

Lucille's cold voice echoed in the quiet auction room. "I'll pay 120 million."

Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the voice. They were surprised.

"Huh? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? There's a little girl who wants this CD?"

"She's offering 120 million dollars. Whose daughter is she? Why haven't I seen her before..."noveldrama

gazes were

All sorts of observing Lucille's face.

She didn't even frown. In order to avoid trouble, she had deliberately disguised herself and Molly before they went out, so she wasn't worried that anyone would recognize her.

The person in charge of Mountain Sea House shouted, "Alright, this young lady has bid 120 million. 120 million, calling once. Does anyone want to-"

Before he could finish, a steady voice was heard from the third row.

"150 million."

The voice was extremely familiar.

Lucille looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to find that it was the original host's eldest brother, Bernard.

What did he want the CD for?

Her face darkened and she spat again, "I'll add another 20 million!"

That was 170 million!

Initially, she thought that Bernard would back down when faced with such

a high price. However, he didn't even flinch. He only pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up and flatly stated, "190 million."

Lucille was speechless.

If she kept bidding, she wouldn't have any money left.

Gritting her teeth, Lucille was extremely unwilling to give up.

She did get a commission of 100 million dollars from stealing the bone. whistle. She also had à few dozen million from selling the Jules family's villa, as well as the treatment fee for Hilda's daughter. All of that combined. barely added up to 200 million. Thus, she decided to throw caution to the wind.

Lucille thundered, "200 million!"

She hoped that Bernard would stop fighting for it.

However, as soon as she said that, Bernard countered, "I'll add another one million."

Perhaps he could tell that she could no longer afford it. Thus, he didn't raise the price too much.

Lucille was at a loss for words.

What a terrible brother he was.

200 million dollars was all she had. She really couldn't afford to add another million.

Rules were rules. If she didn't have money, she couldn't continue bidding. Otherwise, if she couldn't pay up, the CD would end up in someone else's hands anyway.

Lucille didn't raise her paddle again.

The host asked with a smile, "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"
