?Chapter 1069


    Ang said, "The Hardings and Knights used to have an excellent rtionship. However, my husband and his family moved to one of the neighboring cities, which caused our families to grow distant.


    "From that perspective, I''m something of an aunt to you, Bonnie. Are you sure you want topete with me?"


    She could guess Bonnie and Sydney had a rocky rtionship. Ang only said those things to sow discord between the two, intending to see them bicker before mocking Sydney for it. However, Ang did not expect Sydney to be wiser than her.


    The former thought, ''I can tell Bonnie''s a tough nut to crack. I need to prevent her from humiliating me.''


    Meanwhile, Bonnie knew Ang was trying to gaslight her. The former grinned and said, "The highest bidder gets the item. That''s how it has always worked in auctions. If you want the ne, why don''t you bid on it instead of telling me all that crap?


    "Is it because you don''t have enough money to challenge my bid? That must be why you''re trying to coerce me into giving up the ne by saying you''re something of an aunt to me."


    Sydneyughed heartily, "Hahaha! Just admit that you can''t afford to challenge my niece, Ang. My family is way weather and more powerful than yours. Also, Ivor has more than enough money to spend. He''s pleased to let his wife spend it all. Don''t feel bad about losing to Bonnie."


    "Damn you!" Ang was outraged as she pointed at Sydney tremblingly.


    On the other hand, Sydney was thrilled.


    ''Ang has trumped me for too long. I can finally raise my head and look her in the eyes. I admit Bonnie''s the best when ites to riling people up. I should''ve let her handle Ang much earlier. Now, Ang will think twice before crossing me again.''


    The other women witnessed their exchange and began to discuss it.


    "Ang has always looked down on us because her husband dotes on her. Now, she got her ass handed to her by Ivor''s wife,"


    "I agree that Ang''s too cocky and prideful. I''m sure she can''t take the humiliation of being outbid by a youngdy."


    "Well, Ang shouldn''t have been so full of herself. Finally, someone here can teach her a lesson. We''re in for a show,dies,"Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Ang overheard the others muttering about her. She balled her fists and thought, ''Everyone wants to watch my downfall. I refuse to let Bonnie outbid me!''


    With that in mind, Ang gritted her teeth and bid again, "Forty-two million dors!"


    ''I''ve always been above these other women. If I let Bonnie outbid me, they''ll never fear me again. I can''t let anyone humiliate me like this! I must preserve my pride, even if it means being careful with my spending after this.''


    Bonnie looked at Ang and said sarcastically, "Did you only raise it by a million? You must be kidding. You should''ve raised it even higher."


    Ang reddened with rage and roared, "Stop trying to trick me! I''m sticking to my guns! If you don''t want to bid, shut up!"


    ''Bonnie has spent quite a bit earlier. I refuse to believe she can afford to spend more.''


    Bonnie chuckled and stared into Ang''s eyes. Then, the former slowly uttered, "One hundred and thirty- eight million dors."
