Chapter 215 Licorice Herb
Miranda didn’t hear the urging of the auction staff, still immersed in confusion
Jacob tugged at her, excitedly saying. “Miranda, let’s go. Wait a moment. I’ll ask the photographer to capture this most important moment for us!”
Miranda’s gaze remained fixed on Robin’s retreating figure, “What most important moment?”
Jacob was stunned for a moment, “The auction staff asked us to hurry back for the proposal ceremony, we only have 15 minutes left, let’s not delay any longer.”
Miranda hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright… then.”
Just returned to the auction hall, Nathen came over from one side.
“Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to you both!”
“I heard you were going to have a proposal ceremony soon. I came specially to congratulate you.”
Miranda looked at Nathen’s elegant demeanor and immediately exclaimed excitedly. “Thank you, Mr. Reynell! On our wedding day, we hope you will definitely grace us with your presence.”
Nathen humbly smiled and said, “Alright, I will definitely go!”
Miranda was very happy, pulling Crystal along and saying, “Crystal. come in with me and help me decide which dress looks better?”
Thinking about Miranda’s demeanor just now, Crystal didn’t want to go over
Looking at my best friend of many years, who was about to get
married. I nodded in agreement. “Alright, Miranda, no matter what, I still wish you the best. Let’s go
With the help of the staff. Jacob and Miranda quickly changed into the hotel’s temporary photo–taking outfits and came to the center of the
stage

Attracted many young guests to come and watch
In such a scene. they were quite willing to make a fuss together.
Nathen had the hotel staff arrange to bring in a camera.
And brought many props.
Nathen’s thoughtfulness for them had deeply touched Miranda and Jacob.
Miranda watched Nathen’s gentlemanly and humble demeanor, her heart rippling with waves of emotion.
“Jacob, Mr. Reynell is such a good man. You should learn more from him in the future. Look at his demeanor and the way he treats people. that’s what you call the most charming man.”
“Compared to Mr. Reynell, the mere thought of Robin made me feel sick.”
“The lower class is the lower class. Even when squandering other people’s money, they still can’t exhibit the elegance of the aristocracy.”
“Look at how kind and humble Mr. Reynell is He was able to humble himself and let the hotel staff do so much for our proposal ceremony. We must get along well with Mr. Reynell in the future
Jacob nodded. “Don’t worry, Miranda, Mr. Reynell is a relative of the Walsh family, of course I will get along well with him.
Watching the infatuated look in Miranda’s eyes for Nathen. Jacob thought to himself. perhaps you don’t know about the sinister and Vicious side of Nathen yet, this bastard is a ruthless devil who kills without blinking an eye
He just didn’t dare to say these words.
Even if it was said. Miranda wouldn’t believe it.
Since entering Hallcester. Nathen had always presented himself as a humble gentleman. gentle and refined, to everyone in Halleester.
The despicable and vicious methods used behind the scenes were rarely seen by anyone.
These things were still told to Jacob by his mother.
Moreover. I told Jacob not to get too close to Nathen.
At first, when his mother told him. Jacob didn’t believe it.
Later, he gradually realized that Nathen was not ordinarily ruthless.
If one were to say Conway was ruthless, it was on the surface, and he had his own principles.
As for Nathen, his poison was his unscrupulous methods and underhanded tactics.
After Nathen returned, he sought to gain more power within the

Reynell family
He relied on the power of the Hondry Sect and eradicated all the original elders of the Reynell family.
Including his father Owen, all were driven out by him.
Nathen was not as gentle and kind as he appeared to be.
He was a ruthless wolf who would devour people without spitting out their bones!
Everything was ready, Jacob knelt on one knee in front of Miranda and began the formal proposal.
In that moment. Miranda suddenly felt a wave of panic in her heart.
Did I really marry a rather mediocre man like Jacob?
She glanced at Nathen standing on one side, feeling very unwilling in her heart.
The smile on the face gradually became dry.
She imagined how wonderful it would have been if the man standing in front of her, proposing to her, had been Nathen.
As Jacob said, “Miranda, marry me.”
The images in Miranda’s mind were all of her imagining Nathen proposing to her.
She didn’t hear Jacob’s proposal.
She was imagining herself marrying into the Reynell family, a wealthy clan, and what kind of luxurious scene that would be.
Jacob saw Miranda’s mind wandering and not immediately responding

to his proposal, which made him very anxious
The auction hall was silent.
For over a minute. Miranda still had not responded.
At that moment, all Miranda could see was Nathen’s humble, smiling face: “Mr. Reynell.”
Miranda subconsciously shouted out Nathen’s name.
Crystal was stunned, she tugged at her. “Miranda, Mr. Walsh is proposing to you!”
Miranda was taken aback, seeing Jacob standing before her with flowers and Blossom Rain in his hands.
“Miranda, marry me.” Jacob pleaded again.
Miranda had just returned to reality.
Reluctantly accepted the ring and flowers, and forced out a bitter smile
The heart, however, felt as if it had been brutally stabbed by a sharp
weapon.
She didn’t know that she had longed for such a marriage proposal countless times before.
But, when the time really came, why couldn’t she feel happy at all?!
Miranda was going through the motions of the proposal process.
The whole process was like a dream, completely muddled and confused.
Fortunately, the proposal ceremony went smoothly.
The auction scene was filled with applause of blessings.
In this sea of noise and joy. Miranda felt as if she was lost in a vast, bewildering ocean
Jacob also noticed Miranda’s state of distraction
After the ceremony ended, he let out a long sigh, as if he had completed a task that had to be done.
He held Miranda’s hand and walked towards the seats.
Miranda forcefully pulled her hand back, glanced at Nathen beside her, and said shyly. “Thank you, Mr. Reynell ”
Nathen nodded politely, “It’s okay, Jacob and I are relatives, we are family now”
Nathen glanced at Jacob and Miranda, “In the future, our three families. should cooperate well!”
Miranda nodded excitedly. “Yes, Mr. Reynell, with your help, I believe we will definitely do better.”
Soon, the auction entered the second half.
The first item auctioned in the second half was the Licorice Herb.
The main purpose of Miranda’s visit to the auction today was the Licorice Herb.
She was determined to get the Licorice Herb!
During that period, she had to show her respect for her grandfather.
Mr. Powers had said that Licorice Herb could prolong Grandpa’s lifespan.
Striving for more time was in the hope that Mr. Baker’s master could step in to save the day
Therefore, taking a picture of Licorice Herb, Grandpa would surely be deeply moved by her, Miranda’s, filial piety.
If Grandpa had been able to transfer all of the Brown family’s shares to her before he passed away, she would have been able to control the entire Brown Group very quickly.
In that case, it wouldn’t matter how long Grandpa could live in the future
According to the information she had previously obtained, the highest price that Licorice Herb had ever fetched at a historical auction was just one hundred million.
This thing was very useful for those who needed it, but worthless for those who didn’t.
Moreover, Licorice Herb could only extend the lifespan by three months to half a year.
Few people were willing to spend hundreds of millions to pay for this pitiful time.
Miranda brought all her savings of 130 million over, she was determined to get Licorice Herb today.
The starting bid for Licorice Herb was 1 million.
The auctioneer had just announced the price when someone on the spot immediately bid 5 million.
Miranda speculated that even if there was demand on site, it would only fetch ten to twenty million at most.
What she didn’t expect was that in less than two minutes, someone had bid up to thirty million.
Miranda was greatly astonished.
Why was Licorice Herb so popular at today’s auction?
Worried that the longer the night, the more dreams there would be, she directly called out a bid of fifty million.
In her view, this price should have been able to directly secure the Licorice Herb, with no one else raising the bid.
However, she was wrong again this time.
After she shouted out a bid of fifty million, someone directly soared to eighty million!
This startled Miranda.
The situation before her was far different from what she had anticipated.
Was it Robin causing trouble?
Miranda glanced at Robin.
Robin, Cecilia, and Livia remained silent, showing no signs of bidding for the Licorice Herb.
The guests from Zone Two were the ones bidding for Licorice Herb.
Miranda gritted her teeth and directly raised the price to ninety million.
At this point, tension arose.
”
At that moment, someone directly shouted out one hundred and twenty

million!
Miranda was flustered this time.
The money in hand was used up, which was one hundred and thirty million.
If she couldn’t secure it at this price, she wouldn’t have money to continue bidding.
She glanced at Jacob.
Jacob understood her meaning.
After a moment of hesitation, he handed her the card and said. “Miranda, go ahead and shoot boldly. You’re doing this to save your grandfather’s life. No matter how high the price. it’s worth it.”
After receiving nearly two hundred million in support from Jacob, Miranda felt reassured.
She blurted out, “One hundred and thirty million.”
Such a price, if it could secure the Licorice Herb, would be the best.
There was no need to use Jacob’s money.
However, she still got it wrong.
A woman in her forties from Zone Two, raised her sign again, “One hundred and fifty million!”
Miranda cursed inwardly and directly raised the price to one hundred and eighty million.

The guest from Zone Two, after a long silence, shouted, “Three

hundred million.
The entire place was in shock.
It was rare for Licorice Herb to fetch such a price!
Miranda was also panicked. The money she had, even including Jacob’s, probably wasn’t enough to bid for the Licorice Herb!
