Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 225

When Yvette was about to raise her paddle, Xavier stopped her. Don't bid anymore." But she didn't want to

listen, Yasmine aimed to deal with Irene, so she would definitely lure Irene to raise the bid. She defiantly raised

her paddle high. "205 million!" This price had already far exceeded the inherent value of the island, yet Yvette

was obliviously waiting for Yasmine to raise the bid again. To her surprise, neither Yasmine nor Irene raised their

paddles.

"Once for 205 million! Twice for 205 million!" Yvette's forehead beaded with sweat as she wondered why they

stopped bidding. "Three times for 205 million! Congratulations, Mrs. Flynn, the Emerald Isle is yours," announced

the auctioneer. "What?" Yvette was still in a daze. She had just mindlessly bought Emerald Isle. "Why?"

Xavier didn't storm off right then and there, which was already giving her face. Annoyed, she glared at Yasmine's

seatback, her eyes brimming with anger. Yet, when Yasmine turned back to look at her, her eyes were full of

amusement. A chill ran down her spine; she had been played.

After the bidding for Emerald Isle ended, the auction room fell into a brief silence. The intense atmosphere from

bidding for Emerald Isle was gone. The three properties that followed, in the southwest suburbs, Lingtong Isle,

and Barton Isle, sold for 165 million, 65 million, and 148.5 million respectively.

The next property up for auction was Crescent Isle. Yasmine felt a sudden shift to a more serious atmosphere in

the previously relaxed room. Morgan whispered quietly in Yasmine's ear, "Pay attention now."

Yasmine slightly nodded, but her gaze shifted to Irene in the front row, who had straightened her back as if

taking things seriously too. It seemed that Yvette had informed Irene about Crescent Isle.

"The starting bid for Crescent Isle is 99 million, with each raise being 6.5 million," the auctioneer announced.

Yvette smiled and raised her paddle, "132 million." Many in the audience looked on in disbelief. She raised the

bid by 33 million right from the start.

Yonas raised his paddle too. "165 million." These two really were in sync, bumping up the bid by 65 million in one

go.

Yasmine glanced around. She saw Hunter lift his paddle and said, "181.5 million." She smiled softly, saying

nothing, as Morgan upped the bid once more, "195 million dollars."

Not wanting to be outdone, Irene declared, "200 million."

Yvette watched anxiously while Xavier looked upset. After spending on the Emerald Isle, their budget was

already tight, and now the price was beyond what they could afford. "Xavier, I'm sorry, | didn't expect..." she

began to apologize. But Xavier didn't even give her a glance, remaining composed as he watched others raise

their paddles, suppressing his inner anger.

Hunter raised his paddle once more, "206.5 million." In truth, a price over 200 million far exceeded Crescent

Isle's value. But if it was indeed along the new shipping route, its value couldn't be calculated that way.

Yasmine raised her paddle as well and announced a jaw-dropping price, "230 million." This was one of the top

prices at the auction, causing many to gasp. Even Morgan looked at Yasmine in shock, though no matter what

she did, Morgan would support her. Yasmine looked at Irene, wondering how she would react. Irene was stunned

for a few seconds, then finally raised her paddle and said, "250 million."

At such a high price, Hunter sighed and shook his head, seeming ready to give up.

Morgan furrowed his brows and was about to raise his paddle, but Yasmine stopped him. "Don't move. Morgan

looked at her, puzzled, but decided to trust his sister. He put down the paddle and watched intently.

Chapter 225-

"250 million, going once! With the strike of the hammer, the land on Crescent Isle belonged to Irene.

Yvette widened her eyes at Yasmine, finally sensing something was off. If it was really as Yasmine claimed,

Crescent Isle was the new route, why would she give up?

Irene also sensed something was off. It was only after the hammer fell that she slowly realized. Her first glance

went to Yonas, who appeared calm. Something was wrong! She must have overlooked something! Why didn't

Yasmine look disappointed? Why didn't she keep fighting for the land? It was only 250 million. Crescent Isle was

twice the size of Emerald Isle. There was no way she would give up for such a small amount.

"The next lot, Misty Evergreen Isle, starts at 100 million, with a bid increment of 6.5 million," announced the

auctioneer.

Hunter raised his sign, "105 million."

Yvette glanced at him, thinking how persistent Hunter was. From the start, he'd bid on several plots of land, all

snatched away by others. And here he was, still going for Misty Evergreen Isle. Irene was still lost in the moment.

She couldn't fathom why Yasmine would give up.

Yvette was puzzled too, wondering what Yasmine was up to. She had insisted on getting Crescent Isle, so why

suddenly give up?

"116 million dollars!"

Hunter, refusing to back down, declared, "120 million."

The other person didn't plan on giving up either, saying, "125 million!"

No one cared about who was bidding. People were still regretting not securing Emerald Isle and were amazed at

the high bid for Crescent Isle.

Irene looked at Yonas, "Yonas, is there something you're hiding from me?" Yonas looked at Irene with confusion

and chuckled, "What could I possibly hide from you?"

"165 million," Hunter said, a bit anxiously.

Yvette was still complaining, "I really don't get why Mr. Ellis is so eager to snatch up the insignificant Misty

Evergreen Isle. It's barely worth 165 million, and any more would be a loss."

Xavier replied curtly, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Yvette's face turned pale. She wanted to argue back, but recalling what had just happened, she decided to keep

her mouth shut. Xavier was right-it was her mistake.

The person in the corner didn't seem ready to give up. "170 million."

The two of them kept raising the bids back and forth, and in just two minutes, it reached 200 million. Who would

have thought that the competition for Crescent Isle was not as fierce, yet Misty Evergreen Isle was so hotly

contested.

Just then, Hunter spoke up, "My apologies, young lady, but Misty Evergreen Isle is a place | visited with my

grandpa when | was young, so I'm really keen on buying it. Could you possibly lethave it?" Typically, such a

request would be met with agreement, especially since Misty Evergreen Isle is just a humble little island.

Unexpectedly, the woman in the corner said, "Misty Evergreen Isle holds significance fortoo. 230 million."

Everyone in the venue gasped in surprise. No one had expected such an unassuming island to reach a

staggering price of 230 million.

Hunter sat down with a cold expression, saying nothing more.
