Chapter 328: The Second Rule
Others present at the event started bidding as well. Those from Imperial City who were familiar with the two Ford sisters watched with curiosity, waiting to see which one would win. Occasionally, they joined in just to raise the bid, pushing the price up to 2.5 million.
Briena kept glancing at Natalie to see if she would bid further, only then deciding to raise her own bid. She was adamant about not letting Natalie win anything. Given Natalie’s new company and financial situation, she was sure Natalie couldn’t afford expensive items. And if Natalie bid on something cheaper, Briena would make sure to take it away.
Natalie raised her bid. "2.6 million."
"2.8 million," Briena countered immediately.
Natalie kept her expression calm and composed before bidding again, this time taking everyone by surprise. "3.5 million."
"Is she doing it on purpose?" Irene commented angrily. "She can clearly see that Briena wants it, but she won’t back down."
"But Natalie was the one who bid first," someone next to them pointed out.
"She tried to bid low at first. Now that the price has gone up and she can’t afford it, she’s intentionally raising the bid just to make Briena pay more," Irene replied. "She plays mind games really well."
"Then let me raise it for her. Let’s see if she can actually pay," Briena said, increasing the bid. "4 million." Then, looking in Natalie’s direction, she smirked. "After she raises the bid this time, I won’t bid anymore and will make her pay."
"That’s a smart move, Briena. Let her take it. You can get something even better for your grandma."
Briena hummed in agreement and waited for Natalie’s response.
