The CEO's Incredible Heiress

Chapter 74: She Did Not Want to Lose

Jennie purposely disguised her voice so that neither of them could recognize it.

Only someone with evil intent like Nancy was capable of recognizing both of them with one look.

The moment Nancy heard Jennie and Krystal in a bidding war over the orchid, she was so excited that her hands trembled a little. Nancy immediately sent Lisa a text message using her new phone number: [Mr. Manoban, this is about Jennie. Kai wants to bid for the flower that his fan club picked to symbolize him, but Jennie spent a bomb bidding for it. Jennie must be buying it for Kai.]

After sending the text message, she put her phone away.

She knew Lisa would not be bothered to reply to her, but he would not stand by and do nothing since it had something to do with Jennie. This time, she had to cause some real damage between Jennie and Lisa!

The auction went into full swing.

“$2 million!” Krystal had already offered to pay $2 million.

It was already the highest bid for the day.

She was really upset that someone was in a bidding war with her over the orchid. She wanted to give the orchid to Kai! However, there was nothing she could do to stop this unknown young woman from bidding against her since it was completely her freedom.

“$3 million,” said Jennie decisively as she raised the price and could not be bothered to up the price in small increments anymore.

Krystal trembled when she heard the young woman’s voice.

Everyone else had already dropped out of the race. Although the prices of precious flowers could get very high, it was not worth it. If the buyers were unable to cultivate the flower, they would lose everything if the plants died.

Any rational person would refuse to spend that kind of money just to win the bid.

Everyone watched as these young women went on bidding against each other, raising the price repeatedly.

Kai and Hu Lai looked at each other. They did not expect a young woman to bid against Krystal.

Krystal started to hesitate. Although she had returned to the Kim family for years and it was public knowledge she came from a rich family, she always acted loftily and disregarded money. Whenever anyone in the family offered her money, she acted like she did not care about material things.

Over time, her family members would get her luxury items, but rarely gave her money out of fear she would find it insulting. Hence, she had very limited money. After all these years, she only had slightly over $3 million in savings.

Initially, she thought the orchid might get auctioned for $1 million and it was well within her limits to pay for it. She was clearly caught by surprise when someone bid against her for it.

How could she approach her parents for money so that she could buy Kai an orchid?

She looked at Kai and Hu Lai imploringly.

Kai and Hu Lai were not going to auction for the flower on their own since that would make them a laughingstock.

Also, Hu Lai only had a budget of around $1 million to auction it.

Even though it seemed as though celebrities made a lot of money and the top celebrities could get endorsement fees worth tens of millions, the talent agency needed to take a 50% cut, dozens of employees were waiting to get paid and lots of money had to go into marketing.

They were here to promote Kai’s good name and they would prefer to keep its cost as low as possible.

In an instant, the atmosphere between the three of them became awkward.

“$3 million. Any other bidders?” asked the auctioneer excitedly.

Krystal raised the paddle once more. “$3 010 000!”

That was all the money she had. She did not want to lose the flower since she was getting it for her dear Kai.

Nancy got up and sat down next to Kai when she witnessed the scene. She said somewhat ingratiatingly, “Kai, Lai, that woman who is bidding for the orchid is Jennie!”
