NovelBarRead Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 159 – After she said
that, everyone looked at her with shock on their faces.
Meredith was so angry that she almost ripped the placard into pieces. Was this woman purposely going
against her?
Who did she think she was? How dare she go against her?!
How would Meredith allow this? She lifted the placard again.
Everyone thought Meredith would add on a few million dollars, however, she only added 500,000
dollars.
The moment she finished saying that, Madeline said nonchalantly, “20 million.”
“Wow…”
Everyone exclaimed.
Meredith could not stand this anymore. She suppressed the fire of rage inside her and glared at
Madeline. She then forced out an innocent and gentle smile.
“Miss, were you hired by the other party to come here to deliberately raise the price? Everyone knows
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat my fiancé is going to buy this shop for me as my birthday present. Could it be that you enjoy
stealing things from others?”
“Steal things from others? Isn’t that what you’re good at, Miss Crawford?”
Madeline’s face fell. “W-What do you mean?”
“Nothing,” Madeline smirked profoundly. “I just want to ask you, Miss Crawford, is your name on the
shop now? If yes, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. If no, then please respect the rules of an
auction. The highest bidder wins.”
“You…” Meredith was speechless and gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to raise the placard to
continue bidding, but she did not dare to add on too much. As such, she could only look at Jeremy.
“Jeremy…”
Jeremy looked at Meredith with a blank expression. He said flatly, “She’s right. The highest bidder
wins.”
“…” Meredith did not have anything to say to that.
At this moment, the auctioneer started repeating the amount Madeline proposed.
Meredith was livid and frantic. When she came back to her senses and was about to bid again, the
auctioneer had already slammed the gavel down.
The auctioneer invited Madeline to the stage. She walked up the stage as everyone gawked at her.
She was walking slowly, her every movement graceful. She had a charming aura that one could not put
their fingers on no matter how they thought about it.
The auctioneer smiled and asked, “What’s your name, beautiful lady?”
Madeline smiled and said, “My last name is Quinn.”
Quinn?
Jeremy thought about this last name. It was pretty rare.
Meredith was grinding her teeth at one side, glaring at Madeline who was on the stage while baring her
teeth.
She was supposed to be the main character tonight, but at the last moment, her spotlight was stolen by
this woman who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere!
She would not be able to let this go no matter what!
The contract was signed with everyone in the room as witnesses. The auctioneer announced that
Madeline was the new owner of the shop on First Crystal Street and congratulated her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThunderous claps sounded from below the stage as well.
Madeline stood on the stage gracefully. Through her sunglasses, she saw Meredith fuming and felt
extremely pleased.
When she was about to say something, she saw Jeremy getting up and walking toward her.
“Jeremy, where are you going?” Meredith wanted to stop him, but Jeremy did not turn back.
He walked up to the stage and looked at the dimples on Madeline’s cheeks. He hesitated for a while
before saying, “As the owner of this hotel, I’m happy that the event has ended perfectly.”
He held out his hand to Madeline. “Miss Quinn, congratulations.”
Meredith looked at Jeremy’s hand and felt that this entire scene was extremely ironic.
Back then, she had longed to hold his hand so much, but now, all of those longings were gone.
She smiled and held out her hand. However, she did not shake Jeremy’s hand. On the contrary, she
removed the sunglasses on her face.
The moment she removed them, she saw Jeremy’s expression freeze over. Even the air around them
started to freeze.
However, Madeline smiled while maintaining the same expression on her face. She held Jeremy’s
frozen hand and said, “Thanks.”
