Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 36 Making Trouble

She looked up at Kevin's profile. He stared at the wooden gavel in the auctioneer's hand, calm and quiet.

Cherry's heart sank. Sometimes, she didn't understand what went through Kevin's mind.

He had always been so mercurial that she couldn't fathom his actions at all. She thought Kevin didn't need to spend so much money on this, but he started the bidding high anyway.

She couldn't understand why, but she also knew that the man beside her was born to be a mystery.

"Fifty million! Going once, going twice—"

"Fifty million and ten thousand!"

Ryan's cold voice reached everyone's ears. He held the card in his hand with an indifferent expression. Everyone looked in Ryan's direction and sighed.

Someone mustered up the will to compete with Kevin for the project. It seemed that this man had a strong background.

Cherry looked at the source of the voice and frowned when she saw Ryan again. She bent down and whispered in Kevin's ear, "It's him again, Kevin."

"Sixty million."

Kevin continued to raise the price. The auctioneer was almost overwhelmed. Now things were starting to heat up.

"Sixty million, ten thousand."

Ryan didn't back down. He held his card, smiling, as calm as he ever was.

Few people dared to try and outbid Kevin, especially when he raised the price that much. Now things were really getting interesting, and there were also people in the crowd who began to gossip about Ryan's origin, and how much money he might actually have.

"Who is this guy? Does he know he's going up against Mr. Kevin?"

"You don't know him? It's Ryan Xiao. He's been out of the country for a while. But now he's back, and apparently quite powerful!"

"Really?"

The attendees' voices were getting louder and louder as they got more excited, but Ryan and Kevin didn't seem to notice.

"Seventy million!"

The price had risen to seventy million. Everyone held their breath to see if Ryan would continue to fight.

Ryan was about to raise his hand when Charlie said, "That's enough."

"Really?" Ryan glanced at the card in his hand. It was time for him to stop, since he thought he had had enough fun there. "Okay, let's go."

Then he stood up and walked out of the hotel.
