Chapter 1899


    The huge auction hall instantly fell silent at that. All the guests turned their heads to look toward the


    voice.


    The speaker was the young man sitting next to Chief Police Wholeton, Fiona Mandra!


    Fiona raised the auction paddle with his right hand.


    Unbothered with the gazes of so many people, he looked indifferently at Keith on stage and said, “I bid


    three million dors for these medical books.”


    After a while, Keith on stage finally reacted and nodded with a smile. “Number 71 offered three million


    dors. Is there anyone bidding higher than him? Is there anyone else…”


    Before Keith could finish speaking, the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, rose slowly.


    She turned to look at Chief Police Wholeton sitting beside Fiona and asked with a fake smile, “Chief


    Police Wholeton, I didn’t expect you to intervene andpete with me. Do you want to make an


    enemy of the Yale family?”


    Hearing Sherleen’s words, all the guests present gasped.


    Sherleen was furious!


    The head of the Yale family, Sherleen, was someone who would not take no for an answer. Although


    she was proud, she rarely spoke aggressively. However, Sherleen yelled at Chief Police Wholeton in


    front of all these people, which meant she was furious!


    It was a big deal!


    Gabe was Midwich’s chief police, while Sherleen was the head of the Yale family, one of Midwich’s top


    four families. It would be chaotic if these two got into a conflict!


    Therefore, the people present hastened to persuade them to calm down the impending war.


    “Mrs. Yale, perhaps Chief Police Wholeton has no intention of going against you. Calm down first.”


    “Yeah, Mrs. Yale. Maybe Chief Police Wholeton was impulsive… ”


    “Chief Police Wholeton, say something. Is it worth making an enemy of the Yale family for these 30


    books?”


    Sherleen’s expression looked slightly better as she heard the crowd’s remarks. However, Gabe could


    not be any more upset. It was because he did not even want to fight Sherleen, and Fiona did not even


    talk to him before raising his paddle to bid.


    Everyone present, including the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, thought Fiona was Gabe’s


    subordinate. Although Fiona raised the paddle, they thought Gabe was the real bidder, which led to this


    misunderstanding.


    It was difficult to exin.


    Gabe was so helpless that he did not know what to do or what to say to ease the situation. However,


    Fiona slowly stood up, calmly looked at Sherleen in the first row, and confronted her without backing


    down.


    “Well,dy… I’m the one bidding, not Chief Police Wholeton…” Fiona said calmly.


    Everyone present was instantly shocked to hear Fiona. They thought Fiona was Gabe’s subordinate,


    but the situation was quite different from what they had imagined!Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Sherleen looked at Gabe with a bitter smile and then at Fiona, who was standing next to Gabe, and a


    look of realization appeared on his face.


    Then she looked at Fiona and asked, “What is your name?”


    “My name is Fiona Mandra,” Fiona replied indifferently.


    Sherleen nodded slightly and continued, “Mr. Mandra, are you sure you want topete with the Yale


    family for these 30 medical books? Do you have any idea what this means? The Yale family can’t rule


    Midwich, but we have no problem dealing with one or two nobodies.”


    “So what?” Fiona said calmly.
