Chapter 248
Demetria looked at Hadwin. “Your grandfather’s birthday is coming up. Find a way to
win it.”
“Okay, Mom.” Hadwin raised his paddle.
“210 thousand,” he bid.
Before his words had even settled, someone else bid.
“250 thousand.”
“2 million.”
“2.5 million.”
Before Hadwin could drop his paddle, the bid reached seven million.
“Damn it! What are you all fighting for?” Hadwin raised his paddle again. “Seven million.
“30 million,” Bonnie bid.
Hadwin remained frozen in the position of lowering his paddle, stiffly turning his head
to look at Bonnie.

Bonnie bid such a large sum. She seemed to have no fear that her backer wouldn’t give her that much money one would give their mistress such a massive sum.
It shocked Avril and Kay.
Then, Kay leaned over to Bonnie and whispered, “Ms. Bonnie, if you can’t come up with that much money, I can sponsor you. Of course, it’s not free. When you have time, teach
me a few more moves.”
Kay knew Bonnie had a strong sense of pride and didn’t like taking advantage of others,
which was why she said that.
Bonnie looked at Kay calmly. “No need for your help. I can manage.”
At this time, another bidder entered.
“35 million.”

Bonnie immediately followed up. “70 million.”
Gasps filled the room.
In the VIP room upstairs, Ged’s gaze turned away from Bonnie.
“Ivor, Bonnie stole the show today. But from what I know about her, she probably won’t ask you for money, right?”
“She has it.” Ivor lifted his teacup, enjoying the sight of the girl’s stunning beauty while sipping his tea.
“You mean the money she tricked out of Xavier last time?” Ged recalled and asked.
Ivor corrected severely, “She didn’t trick Xavier. She outsmarted him.”
“Tsk tsk tsk-“Ged clicked his tongue. “I didn’t expect you to be so defensive. Okay, okay, she didn’t trick him. Bonnie outsmarted him with her intelligence.
“Speaking of which, I’m curious. How did Bonnie make Xavier lose so much money? He didn’t even come knocking at her door afterward.” Ged raised his brows.
Ivor raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. “I asked her about this before, but she didn’t explain much.”
During their conversation, another bid instantly caught their attention.
“140 million.”
“Who dares to challenge your woman? They’re courting death.” Ged followed the sound of the voice and was stunned when he saw the person’s face. “Xavier? Xavier is fighting with Bonnie for the item. Is this his way of taking revenge?”
“It’s unlikely. Since Xavier didn’t come to trouble Bonnie, he must have some concerns. It’s unlikely that he is here to cause trouble for Bonnie in such a public place. Even if he wants to, he should do it behind the scenes.”
“In that case, Xavier wants this hundred–year–old ginseng?” Ged felt that Ivor’s analysis
made sense.
On the first floor, Bonnie turned her head to look at Xavier, and their eyes met, with a hint of flattery in Bonnie’s gaze.
