Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call

Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Bidding War

Christian frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought, as he glanced at Anastasia.

She heard what Jane had said and was somewhat speechless.

She then thought, "But it seems like their engagement is real. Maybe | should give them a gift?" As she was pondering this, Christian suddenly raised his sign. "45 million dollars!"

The crowd was instantly stunned.

Was Christian seriously spending this much for Jane? Anastasia thought, finding it hard to believe. Jane was thrilled and thought, "I can't believe Christian agreed just because of what | said!" She then couldn't help but glance at Anastasia with a hint of triumph.

She hoped to see a look of astonishment, resentment, or anger on her face.

However, she saw none of that.

Anastasia was as calm as ever, and she even appeared to smile slightly.

Strangely, she looked a little... happy.

Jane's face soured, and she thought with irritation. She must be faking it!

The next moment, Anastasia held her sign up and said, "50 million dollars."

Christian didn't back down and continued to bid. "55 million dollars."

The pair seemed to be in a standoff, and the room grew quiet.

Anastasia continued, "60million dollars."

Christian also quickly added, "65 million dollars!"

"Seventy million dollars," Anastasia said with a smile.

Christian yelled, "75 million dollars!"

Christian then casually glanced at her. For him, these sums were just a string of digits. Whether they were worth it or not depended on who received them.

The atmosphere in the room began to tense up.

Many started to pity Anastasia, as it was utterly embarrassing for an ex-husband to be in a bidding war with his ex-wife for his current fiancée.

The bidding kept going until Christian said, "95 million dollars..." After which, Anastasia finally made no further moves and remained silent. She didn't lift her sign again but instead glanced at Christian while smiling subtly.

Finally, Ross sealed the deal with a conclusive hammer strike and announced, "The ‘Tears of the Ocean’ goes to Mr. Patterson for a whopping 95 million dollars! Congratulation!"

Hearing that, the crowd erupted into enthusiastic applause, and then all eyes, filled with admiration, landed on Jane. Jane, barely containing her excitement, couldn't help but smile widely. Christian then went to the front to sign off on the purchase.

Jane approached Anastasia triumphantly, teasing, "Sorry about that, Ms. Graves. It seems I've taken your prized possession. Who knew Mr. Patterson would go to such lengths to snatch what you wanted just for me? That's probably what they call true love, huh?"

Unable to hold back a smile, Anastasia looked at her and replied, "That's exactly what true love is. And also, thanks to both of you for helping the less fortunate."

Jane giggled and said, "You really don't have to pretend to be..."

Before Jane could finish her sentence, Ross, excitedly approached them and shook Anast ie Seypqiteoorare iar you so

Jane's face momentarily stiffened, and she asked sharply, "What? She donated it?"

With a quick nod, Ross confirmed, "Yes. We owe today's success to Ms. Graves's generosity in offering her collection. Otherwise, our earnings today would've been quite disappointing."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Jane's expression instantly became extremely sour.

She felt like she had been played and thought angrily, "Anastasia has tricked me! But it's okay. At least | still have Christian." Just then, Christian stepped down from the podium, with a staff member gingerly carrying a gift box right behind him.

The staff member then offered the box to Jane.
