Chapter 540
lan’s eyes suddenly turned icy, sharp as a knife.
Carlene didn’t dare to say more, left him to go back to his seat.”
Once he was gone, she started to speak.
“You’re married to lan, but I bet he hasn’t even regarded you as his wife yet, has he?
Maja didn’t answer. Hidden under the brim of her hat, Carlene couldn’t read her expression, and could only guess she was probably heartbroken.
“I forgot to tell you, I’m carrying his child.”
At that, Maja’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. Zoey
xt to her gasped in surprise, her gaze landing on Carlene’s belly.
Carlene patted her stomach and said, “You may be married to him, but you’ve never been together, let alone carrying his child. He told me he feels uncomfortable around you and wants to divorce as soon as possible.”
As soon as she finished, Maja burst out laughing.
Carlene’s face immediately turned grim.
“What are you laughing at?”
Why wasn’t she angry? Did Maja not believe her?
She was about to say something when the host came on stage. She had to return to her seat.
Just as she was about to leave, Maja spoke in a low belly?”
That hit Carlene hard, “You bitch…”
She raised her voice, but then suddenly fell silent.
voice, “Mr. Raymond said he’s only been with one woman. I wonder if it’s you? If not, whose baby is it in your
There were media around, so she couldn’t lose her cool.
She took a deep breath, gave Maja a cold look, “Just keep watching how your husband is going to help me.”
After she left, Zoey murmured, “Disgusting couple.”
Maja found it amusing, and asked, “Zoey, do you have a boyfriend?”
Zoey nodded, “We’ve been together for seven years.”
The two chatted for a while before the host started speaking.”
The starting price: eighty million dollars.
The folks at the EverBest Group quickly raised their bidding cards.
Then other companies followed suit, pushing the price up to one hundred million dollars.
This was still offered by the EverBest Group. They seemed desperate for the land.
Carlene sneered when she saw Maja hadn’t bid once.
But then, Maja raised her card, showing one hundred and twenty million dollars.
And after she raised her card, she didn’t even look at Carlene, as if in response to her provocation.
Carlene was seething. She wanted to bid again, but the company’s executives stopped her.
“Ms. Shepard, one hundred and twenty million dollars is our final offer.”
Any more, and it would be too much pressure for them.
But Carlene couldn’t accept that, and raised the bidding card anyway.
The host announced, “the EverBest Group, one hundred and thirty million dollars.”
Maja casually raised her card again, while Zoey next to her was already on edge.
She knew the Neilian Group didn’t have the resources or enough money. Maja was just trying to drive up the price.
Carlene took a deep breath, disregarding the executives‘ objections, and bid one hundred and sixty million dollars
“the EverBest Group, one hundred and sixty million dollars.”
“the Neilian Group, one hundred and seventy million dollars.”
and eighty m “the EverBest Group, one hundred and eighty million dollars.”
The host kept announcing the price, watching the two women compete.
One hundred and eighty million dollars was sixty million over the EverBest Group’s budget.
At that point, lan pointed out, “She’s driving up your price.”
Carlene seemed to wake up to that. She had gotten carried away with the bidding.
But the EverBest Group’s budget was one hundred and twenty million dollars. They usually wouldn’t buy if it went over.
But she had already bid one hundred and eighty million dollars. Now she was hoping Maja would bid one more time so she could back down.
Carlene suddenly felt nervous, “lan, will I lose money if I buy this land for one hundred and eighty million dollars?”
lan knew the truth. This investment of one hundred and eighty million dollars was basically a lost cause because building houses would require more investment. The EverBest Group might lose over two hundred million this time.

“Don’t bid again.”
His tone was flat, and he looked at Maja.
But Maja didn’t bid again.
The host called out, “One hundred and eighty million dollars, once.”
“One hundred and eighty million dollars, twice.”
“Congratulations to the EverBest Group, one hundred and eighty million dollars, done!”
The auction was over.
Maja had made the EverBest Group pay an extra sixty million dollars. She smiled, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Carlene was furious, but the fact that she won the land made her feel victorious. She walked briskly towards Maja..
But her bodyguard came in, looking a bit tense. Clearly, something had happened,
Carlene didn’t go after Maja anymore, but looked at lan sweetly.
“lan, I’ve booked a restaurant. Let’s go.”
lan watched Maja’s retreating back, deep in thought.
He had always seen her as shameless and lowly, but the way she made the EverBest Group pay more was just right.
Although it was just sixty million dollars, the EverBest Group’s cash flow was already tight. Sixty million dollars could sometimes affect the company’s future development.
Not to mention, the EverBest Group had now bought this land and would continue to lose money.
He furrowed his brows and couldn’t help but want to leave, but Carlene tugged at his sleeve just in time.
“lan, go wait for me in the car, I’ll be right there.”
By the time lan walked out, Maja’s car had already taken off.
He sat in the car, fingers resting on the steering wheel, tapping it lightly..
