Chapter 719

After a long wait, the prescription finally came up for auction.
Anastasia immediately sat up straight.
The auctioneer on stage explained, “This next item is a bit different. Its owner is present with us tonight, and the old gentleman has one condition-he will not sell it to someone who merely has money. This prescription is incomplete, and unless the winning bidder can complete it, the sale will be void.”
Such a strange rule immediately sparked a wave of discussion.
To put something up for auction and then attach so many conditions, was there something wrong with him?
Some were disdainful, others were displeased, but when they found out who the “old gentleman” was, everyone fell silent.
For one simple reason: the man indeed had the stature to set his own special rules at this auction.
“Aubrey Brown?” Marcus, sitting next to Anastasia, glanced at the information he’d just looked up on his phone. “Isn’t he a highly respected figure in the medical world?”
Anastasia’s eyes flickered as several clues instantly connected in her mind.
In her past life, this Mr. Brown had greatly admired Queena and had acted as her patron in the community, becoming one of her most powerful backers.
She had always wondered how Queena, with Mr. Brown’s eccentric personality, had managed to meet and win him over.
Now it seemed it was inextricably linked to the prescription being auctioned today!
Having figured this out, she was even more determined to win today’s bid!
She grabbed Harrison’s hand and said, “Hubby, I want this!”
Alas, it wasn’t that she wanted to rely on her hubby, but she had already “surrendered” her bank cards to Harrison. She simply didn’t have that much money on her now!
Marcus suddenly remembered what had happened back then and burst out laughing, turning to Barnett on his other side. “Barnett, did you know? Our dear Harrison is actually a man who relies on his wife for support. Anastasia’s entire net worth is in his hands!”
Barnett was speechless.
His expression was a mixture of shock and complexity as he looked at his good friend.
Harrison remained unfazed. He first answered Anastasia, “Alright.”
Then he nonchalantly turned to the other two. “Is that something to be ashamed of?”
Barnett and Marcus were speechless.
Not shameful, just a little bit enviable.
Anastasia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The auction began, and people started placing bids.
Not everyone was interested in the prescription, and with Mr. Brown’s strict condition, not many participated. However, every single person who did bid was determined. to win. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the.net
Anastasia waited calmly, not in a hurry to bid.
She
the baked toward a certain spot in
the back. Although the lighting was dim She had spotted Queena there from the moment moment she walked
The starting bid for the prescription was five hundred thousand, and it quickly climbed to eight million.
At that moment, Queena finally made her move.
“Nine million!”
It was only a one-million increase, not a huge jump, but her bid immediately drew
the attention of others.
“Is that Ms. Sterling?”
“If Ms. Sterling wants this prescription, I think I’ll step aside
“With Ms. Sterling here, who could possibly beat her at fulfilling Mr. Brown’s condition? Haha, I’ll pass as well
Anastasia overheard some of the
faint discussions. It seemed Queena was quite well-known and well connected. So many people acknowledged her skills and were willing to defer to her.
She narrowed her eyes and calmly withdrew her gaze.
