Chapter 215 Auction Bidding Competition
The corners of Sydney''s mouth curled when she saw Lyra shivering with anger. She was in a rather
good mood. "What''s wrong? Are you unhappy, Ms. Madden? I didn''t get angry when you did the
same thing to me earlier. Aren''t you being a little too petty? How are you going to be Mrs. Flint if
you''re so petty?"
"Who said I''m angry?" Lyra retorted in a sharp voice. She clenched her fists tightly and took deep
breaths to suppress her anger.
She knew that Sydney was deliberately making her mad.
However, she refused to fall for it. She would prove to Sydney that she was more suitable than
anyone to be Flint Corporation''s president''s wife!
"Not bad." Sydney apuded. "You''re very generous, Ms. Madden. I admire you. Since you''re not
angry anymore, I''ll take my leave now."
Then, she threw the paper towel in her hand, walked past Lyra, and headed toward the exit.
After two steps, she suddenly stopped again and turned her head toward Lyra with a meaningful
smile. "By the way, your current image is very nice, Ms. Madden. Your dress especially is very
suitable for tonight''s banquet."
Sydney''s gaze fell on Lyra''s fur shawl over her shoulder as well as the small crocodile skin clutch in
her hand, and a trace of ridicule shed imperceptibly in her eyes.
Thest time at the dress store, Sharon and her deliberately said that the dress and furs matched
well to set a trap for Lyra.
Unexpectedly she was stupid enough to wear it. It seemed like there would be a good show to
watch at the banquetter.
Sydney smiled and left the bathroom.
After she left, Lyra touched her face and looked at her dress before smiling smugly. "Hmph, at least
you have somewhat good taste."
Then, she lowered her hand from her face and was just about to wash her hands again. After all,
she touched the cosmetics on her face earlier.
However, when she turned back to the mirror and saw herself, her face twisted as she screamed,
"Ahhhhhh!"
She did not look in the mirror earlier and did not know what she looked like.
However, now that she saw it, she understood what Sydney meant by her having a good image.
Sydney was notplimenting her at all. She was being sarcastic.
Except for the dress on her body which looked fine, the makeup on her face and her hair were
simply atrocious and a mess. She looked like a madwoman. It must have been caused when
Sydney hit her earlier.
Lyra looked at the mirror and said with a resentful face, "Just you wait, Sydney Raines. One day, I''ll
kill both you and that b*stard in your belly. I swear it upon my name as Lyra Madden!"
Outside the door, Mrs. Leigh was about toe in to use thedies when she heard those words.
She withdrew the foot that she extended.
She pursed her slightly thin lips, and her dignified expression was full of disgust. "Madden, huh? It
seems like she''s the daughter of Trison Corporation''s president, but she''s so vicious. How
ridiculous."
Mrs. Leigh nced at the washroom door coldly and turned around to walk away. She did not want
to use this washroom anymore.
She found it disgusting.
When Sydney returned to the auction site, Luke hurriedly asked, "Darling, what took you so long?"
Sydney held her skirt and sat down. "I encountered some trouble."
"What trouble?" Luke suddenly grew nervous. "Are you okay, Darling?"
"Don''t worry, I''m fine. I took care of it." Sydney smiled at him.
Luke nodded. "That''s good. The next auction item is yours."
Sydney''s eyes narrowed for a moment when she heard those words.
''So soon? It''s already my turn.''
Soon, as an antique was taken away from the stage, the next auction item was sent up to the
disy.
Therge screen behind the auctioneer listed out detailed information about the ring but concealed
the identity of the donor. The name "Ms. R." was disyed as a codename, showing that this ring
was donated by someone with thest name starting with R.
It was a form of privacy protection for the donors.
However, some people still guessed Sydney''s identity. After all, although there were many people
whosest name started with R in arge city like Port City, the only famous person with thest
name starting with R was that person from Skylight Corporation.
"It''s Sydney and Julien''s wedding ring!" Lyra''s eyes were scarlet as she looked at the spinning ring
on therge screen.
''This ring was donated by Sydney. She donated her own wedding ring.
''What''s ridiculous is that Julien hasn''t even given me a ring yet!''
Lyra''s heart was frenzied with jealousy. ''Dad, I want this ring."
Brandon naturally knew that the ring was donated and frowned with disapproval. "Why do you want
it? It was worn by someone else before. If you want a ring, tell Julien to buy you a new one."
"Julien won''t buy one." Lyra clenched her fists.
It was not like she never hinted to Julien to buy her ring. However, Julien said that one ring was
enough, and it would lose its meaning if he bought more. He would buy another one for her when
they got married.
However, they were not formally engaged yet, so they had to wait until next year at least. She did
not want to wait. She would rather have a ring worn by Sydney. At least it was something that Julien
bought.
Brandon could not change Lyra''s mind and had no choice but to nod and let her bidter.
The auction of the ring began with a starting price of 30 thousand dors.
The price was naturally higher because the main diamond was a rare pink diamond.
"40 thousand!" Lyra immediately raised her card.
Julien, in a room on the second floor, and Sydney, Luke, and Hunter in the back rows all heard
Lyra''s voice and had different expressions.
Sydney, Luke, and Hunter were surprised, and Julien was confused.
Why was Lyra bidding for the ring?
Julien pressed the bell.
The auctioneer received the message and immediately announced, "The guest in Room 1 raises 10
thousand for a total of 50 thousand dors. Does anyone want to offer a higher price?"
When Lyra heard that someone was fighting over the ring for her, she looked up at Room 1 on the
second floor.
The window of the room was closed so she could not see the scene inside and did not know who
the person was. She bit her lip in anger. "60 thousand!"
She also unceremoniously added another 10 thousand without the slightest hesitation. It was clear
that she was determined to get the ring.
Julien frowned and rang the bell again.
The auctioneer announced, "The guest in Room 1 increased their bid to 75 thousand dors."
Lyra shivered with anger and red at the room fiercely. "90 thousand!"
"Darling, Lyra seems to be fighting with the person on the second floor," Luke said to Sydney.
Sydney nodded and also looked at the second floor. "I wonder who it is. Why is that person fighting
for the ring too?"
Although she was surprised that Lyra wanted to buy the ring, she could understand it.
After all, this ring was bought by Julien, so Lyra might want it for herself. However, she was not sure
about the person on the second floor.
"Darling, I suddenly want to y too," Luke said yfully.

Sydney raised her eyebrows. "What are you nning?"
The corners of Luke''s mouth curled up as he raised his card. "150 thousand!"
The entire auction site was instantly shocked when they heard this amount.
Although the ring was worth a lot of money, it was only worth around 70 thousand. They already felt
that the prices that Ms. Madden and the mysterious guest on the second floor bid were too high and
not worth it.
Unexpectedly, another dumb, rich person suddenly popped up and offered 150 thousand straight
away.
"What are you doing, Luke? Are you crazy?!" Sydney looked at him in shock.
Luke made a shushing motion. "Don''t worry, Darling. I know what I''m doing. Rx."
Sydney saw that his expression was serious and he did not seem like he was joking. She let out a
sigh. " Whatever. I''m not going to care about you anymore. Don''t y until you go bankrupt!" "Don''t
sweat it." Luke waved his hand.
