A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Among the crowd , Brian scoffed .

Was Ariana trying to grab his attention with this ? How laughable .

200 m 200 million dollars , he said firmly .

Did she really think he wouldnt be able to deal with her ? 250 million dollars , 300 million ! As the bidding escalated into absurd territory , Evelyn frowned .

Brian , this land isnt worth that much .

Brian frowned as well .

Beside him , Emily said lowly , Mr.

Lodge , the price has exceeded our estimated value .

Hearing this , Brian smiled coldly .

Ariana did not have much money to begin with .

She was clearly only bidding to be contrary .

Fine , then .

He would teach her a lesson tonight , even if it meant taking a loss .

Coldly , he called out , 320 million dollars ! William watched in satisfaction as Brian took the bait .

According to his estimation , Brian had already taken a loss of 50 million dollars at this point .

He hadnt expected Ariana to be so cunning , goading Brian into taking the bait .

He had underestimated her .

Just as he was about to tell Ariana to stop bidding , she raised her paddle again .

500 million dollars ! An audible wave of shock rippled through the audience .

500 million dollars ? For what , a piece of land ? Even the auctioneer paused in disbelief .

He was sure he hadnt misheard her but this piece of land , situated in the southern outskirts of the city , was valued at only 100 million dollars .

Hadnt the bidding only reached 320 million dollars seconds ago ? How did it jump to 500 million all of a sudden ? Has she lost her mind ? Brians expression darkened .

How dare she bid 500 million dollars for a worthless suburban plot ? Mr.

Lodge , we cant go any higher .

Well be losing too much money ! Emily said anxiously .

Arianas bidding was clearly unreasonable .

No plot of land of this size , especially one on the outskirts of the city , had ever been priced close to 500 million dollars .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 25 Shut up , Ariana ! William said in a low voice .

Do you even know how much money youre about to lose ? Its you .

You promised to give this to Im not the one about to lose money , Mr.

Kingsman , Ariaha a me .

You cant go back on your word .

You … William had thought Ariana was only after a villa or two , valued at most at a few million dollars .

He hadnt expected her to demand a 500 million dollar plot of land .

His gaze turned sharp .

Im starting to think that youre a spy sent by Brian to ruin me .

Wrong .

I was sent by the universe to save you .

Save me ? By making me lose 500 million dollars ? Across the hall , Evelyn , seeing Brians outburst earlier , asked tentatively , Brian , if Ms.

Torrey lost so much money , would the Torreys face trouble ? Trouble ? Brian laughed coldly .

Was that even a question ? The Torreys did not have a lot of liquidated assets in the first place , and now , Ariana splurged 500 million dollars on a piece of land without any preparation .

One wrong move , and they could go bankrupt .

Ariana was digging her own grave , and this time , she only had herself to blame .

The gavel struck true , and the land at South Gleaston was sold to Ariana .

Ariana just watched the scene unfold calmly .

None of them knew exactly how valuable this piece of land would be in the future .
