Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

After she said that, everyone looked at her with shock on their faces.

Meredith was so angry that she almost ripped the placard into pieces. Was this woman purposely going against her?

Who did she think she was? How dare she go against her?!

How would Meredith allow this? She lifted the placard again.

Everyone thought Meredith would add on a few million dollars, however, she only added 500,000 dollars.

The moment she finished saying that, Madeline said nonchalantly, “20 million.”

“Wow…”

Everyone exclaimed.

Meredith could not stand this anymore. She suppressed the fire of rage inside her and glared at Madeline. She then forced out an innocent and gentle smile.

“Miss, were you hired by the other party to come here to deliberately raise the price? Everyone knows that my fiancé is going to buy this shop for me as my birthday present. Could it be that you enjoy stealing things from others?”

“Steal things from others? Isn’t that what you’re good at, Miss Crawford?”

Madeline’s face fell. “W-What do you mean?”

“Nothing,” Madeline smirked profoundly. “I just want to ask you, Miss Crawford, is your name on the shop now? If yes, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. If no, then please respect the rules of an auction. The highest bidder wins.”

“You…” Meredith was speechless and gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to raise the placard to continue bidding, but she did not dare to add on too much. As such, she could only look at Jeremy. “Jeremy…”

Jeremy looked at Meredith with a blank expression. He said flatly, “She’s right. The highest bidder wins.”

“…” Meredith did not have anything to say to that.

At this moment, the auctioneer started repeating the amount Madeline proposed.

Meredith was livid and frantic. When she came back to her senses and was about to bid again, the auctioneer had already slammed the gavel down.

The auctioneer invited Madeline to the stage. She walked up the stage as everyone gawked at her.
