Lillie decided to join.

"700!" She raised her number. ​​

The room suddenly went quiet.

Did they hear right? Did that voice really belong to Lillie Bai?

If so, then who would dare fight her! Even with her company's dilemma, they still wouldn't court death!

"700 million! Do I hear something higher?"

An Jiaying was surprised. She did not expect Lillie Bai to join the bid.

"750!" It was like an automatic response as An Jiaying shouted her price.

Everyone quickly looked towards the person with guts. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw An family's eldest miss, An Jiaying.

This was the first time most of them notice the quiet miss. The others who were near her just ignored her completely, her background wasn't that great after all.

They would've exchanged greetings with her when Mr. and Mrs. Lan approached her. But when they saw them leave, they lost interest.

"She's just the daughter of a small businessman who work under WPE. Not so special since the actual CEO of WPE was in the same room as her." This is everyone's mindset because no one really know that An Qi Sheng was one of WPE's investors and was a great friend of Alexander Bai.

An Jiaying felt the belittlement in their eyes. Veins protruded from her hands from clenching her skirt too hard.

She could see how they compare her with Lillie Bai.

If only they knew that half of their properties now belong to her! If only they knew that soon, White Phoenix Empire will be hers!

"750 million and 25 cents."

"Pfft!"

An Jiaying was dumbfounded. She heard the someone stifled a giggle while the others tried to prevent laughing.

The meaning was obvious. Lillie Bai was looking down on her.

Well, two can play the game!

"750 million and 50 cents!" She fought back.

"800 million."

An Jiaying was caught off guard. Wasn't she adding cents just now? Why did she suddenly increase the price by millions?!

An Jiaying decided to continue the game, "800 million and 25 cents!"

"900 million."

"900 and 25 cents!"

"1 billion."

There was a choking sound from a distance.

Too absurd!

1 billion dollars for that mask?! The original price didn't range for at least 300 million!

Even when her company's nearing its doom, Lillie Bai is burning money as if she's using them to start the fire on the hearth!

Too wealthy! So much that she could probably raise all of them and keep up with their everyday expenses!

The guests did not hid their sneers at An Jiaying.

What made you think you can fight someone like Lillie Bai? Are you dreaming? What made you think eating a tiger's gut will help you fight her?

"Tsk tsk. Is Miss An stupid? The An are really good making false claims. Who is the smart and virtuous eldest miss they are talking about?"

"Are you sure she's the eldest miss? It's like she was raised in the countryside. Maybe the real eldest miss got switched with a fowl."

"You read too much novels, my dear. However, it's not impossible."

An Jiaying's face was turning red then black. She wanted to applaud herself for enduring this far. She wanted to explode in anger and yell "screw it!" and just put a bullet in their big mouths!

"2 billion!" An Jiaying unconsciously screamed.

She didn't have that much money even if she surrenders two of her bank accounts and the secret money she took from White Phoenix Empire.

Realizing what she blurted, her eyes widen in fright. She hoped to every gods that Lillie Bai would shout her bid.

If feels like an eternity, and yet there was no answer.

"2 billion! Going once, going twice..."

An Jiaying's hope slowly diminished.

"Sold to the guest with the number 4!"

An Jiaying was unaware that a pair of calculative icy blue eyes was staring at her.

Those eyes...

Are the eyes of a cold and merciless person.

Fate really loves toying with her. An Jiaying did not even realized that the number she's holding was a sign of her end.
