Chapter 720
As soon as Queena made a move, many of the previous bidders dropped out. Soon,
the price reached eleven million, and no one else raised their bid.
Seeing the prescription about to fall into her hands, Queena’s lips curved into a Thá´‡ link to the origɪn of this information rá´‡sts ɪn.net
smile.
But just then, Anastasia calmly raised her paddle-
“Fifteen million!”
Instantly, the attention of the entire auction hall shifted to her.
Queena followed the voice, and her expression immediately darkened.
“Anastasia!”
She immediately raised her paddle. “Sixteen million!”
Anastasia was unhurried. “Twenty million!”
Queena gritted her teeth. “Twenty-one million!”
Anastasia smiled. “Fifty million!”
Instantly, an uproar swept through the hall.
“Is she crazy? Fifty million for a few incomplete prescription pages?”
“Who is that? Is she deliberately trying to outbid Ms. Sterling?”
People looked closer, saw Harrison, and were startled. They immediately recalled the rumors they’d heard that Mr. Harrison Lancaster had brought a female companion tonight and had even introduced her as his wife!
Everyone was shocked and puzzled, but a sense of understanding dawned on them.
If it was Mr. Harrison Lancaster, what was fifty million?
They just didn’t know the background of this young-looking girl. How did she manage to make the unshakeable Mr. Harrison Lancaster fall for her?
There had been some rumors that after Mr. Harrison Lancaster went to Fairhaven to recuperate, a young girl had appeared by his side, whom he doted on like a precious treasure.
Could this be her?
Anastasia ignored the various scrutinizing gazes from around her and turned to Harrison beside her. “Hubby, is fifty million expensive?”
Harrison squeezed her hand and said gently, “It’s only fifty million. If you like it, Ana, you can keep bidding higher.”
Those sitting in the rows in front of and behind them were stunned when they heard Mr. Harrison Lancaster’s words.
Who knew Mr. Harrison Lancaster could be so smooth!
A charming smile bloomed on Anastasia’s lips as she looked up in Queena’s direction.
She didn’t do anything else, but Queena felt a strong sense of provocation. Her face darkened, and she was about to raise her paddle.
George, beside her, quickly stopped
her. “That’s enough! That’s Mr. Harrison Lancaster over there. You can’t compete with his wealth. If you keep bidding, not only will you n get the item, but you might also offend him!”

“Besides, have you forgotten Mr. Brown’s condition? It’s useless even if Anastasia wins the bid. She can’t possibly fulfill the old gentleman’s requirement. In the end, the
prescription will still be yours!”
Queena immediately calmed down.
That’s right. That incompetent fool Anastasia could have her moment in the spotlight now! Later, when she failed to meet the condition, she would be the one to be humiliated!
Today, this prescription was destined to be hers!
So Queena gave up bidding, and in the end, the prescription was won by Anastasia.
The final item of the auction was, surprisingly, a gemstone bracelet.
The bracelet had a storied history, and its gems were extraordinarily precious. The moment it was presented, it sent the women in the audience into a frenzy.
Even Anastasia couldn’t take her eyes off the image on the large screen.
“You like it?” Someone squeezed her hand.
Anastasia snapped back to reality, her eyes shining as she looked at him. “Hubby, are you going to buy it for me?”
Harrison’s gaze was deep and gentle. “I’ll buy it.”
She was the one person he cherished above all else. What wouldn’t he give her? It
was just a bracelet; he was willing to give her so much more.
Since Harrison wanted it, the fate of the bracelet was never in doubt.
Who in the room would dare to disrespect Mr. Harrison Lancaster? And even if they had the guts, they couldn’t win against his financial power.
