For every lot afterward, whenever Kiara showed interest, Dorothy would step in and take it.
Hugo thought naming prices was a waste of time. If Dorothy wanted something, he would send up a sky lantern right away.
Until the last item, it was a top-quality herb that could help her father’s heart problem.
Kiara bid again. When she saw Hugo about to send up another sky lantern, she could not stay quiet anymore.
“Hugo, are you going to take everything and leave nothing for anyone else?”
“Remember, that’s our shared marital property you’re using!”
He looked at her coldly. “If you understand that, then don’t compete. That way, I do not need to release another lantern.”
Compete?
Who was truly fighting over the items?
Every time she liked something, Hugo had taken it first. Because of that, she had not won a single thing.
And now he claimed she was the one fighting for it?
Kiara had her own pride. She lifted her chin and said, “This herb belongs to me this time!”
She directly offered ten million; it was every bit of her savings.
Hugo had just planned to continue lighting the sky lantern, but he learned there wasn’t enough money in his auction account.
In the end, the item went to Kiara for ten million.
Dorothy was so angry that her teeth clenched, and she began stirring up trouble from the side.
“Brother Hugo, all the cash in this house is yours. Sister being able to take out that much money is also because you make a lot.”
“So this herb should belong to you as well.”
Kiara had met shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.
“This cash is entirely mine. It has nothing to do with Hugo, not even a single cent.”
“Hugo, if you are still a man, you should not be eyeing a woman’s money.”
After saying that, Kiara picked up her things and was ready to leave, but Hugo blocked her. “Hand the item to Dorothy. I will buy you something else later.”
Kiara said, “What if I refuse?”
Hugo’s eyebrows drew together. “Kiara, I am not asking you.”
As his voice dropped, Hugo directly told the bodyguards to snatch the item from Kiara’s hands and hand it over to Dorothy.
“Kiara, why can you never learn to behave?”
“Since you are like this, then go back and cool off properly.”
The bodyguards forcefully dragged Kiara back to the house and shut her inside.
Kiara was scared of darkness, so Hugo purposely locked her in the cellar to make her remember the warning.
