My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 215 Auction Bidding Competition

The corners of Sydney's mouth curled when she saw Lyra shivering with anger. She was in a rather good mood. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy, Ms. Madden? I didn't get angry when you did the same thing to me earlier. Aren't you being a little too petty? How are you going to be Mrs. Flint if you're so petty?"

"Who said I'm angry?" Lyra retorted in a sharp voice. She clenched her fists tightly and took deep breaths to suppress her anger.

She knew that Sydney was deliberately making her mad.

However, she refused to fall for it. She would prove to Sydney that she was more suitable than anyone to become Flint Corporation's president's wife!

"Not bad." Sydney applauded. "You're very generous, Ms. Madden. I admire you. Since you're not angry anymore, I'll take my leave now."

Then, she threw the paper towel in her hand, walked past Lyra, and headed toward the exit.

After two steps, she suddenly stopped again and turned her head toward Lyra with a meaningful smile. "By the way, your current image is very nice, Ms. Madden. Your dress especially is very suitable for tonight's banquet."

Sydney's gaze fell on Lyra's fur shawl over her shoulder as well as the small crocodile skin clutch in her hand, and a trace of ridicule flashed imperceptibly in her eyes.

The last time at the dress store, Sharon and her deliberately said that the dress and furs matched well to set a trap for Lyra.

Unexpectedly she was stupid enough to wear it. It seemed like there would be a good show to watch at the banquet later.

Sydney smiled and left the bathroom.

After she left, Lyra touched her face and looked at her dress before smiling smugly. "Hmph, at least you have somewhat good taste."

Then, she lowered her hand from her face and was just about to wash her hands again. After all, she touched the cosmetics on her face earlier.

However, when she turned back to the mirror and saw herself, her face twisted as she screamed, "Ahhhhhh!"

She did not look in the mirror earlier and did not know what she looked like.

However, now that she saw it, she understood what Sydney meant by her having a good image. Sydney was not complimenting her at all. She was being sarcastic.

Except for the dress on her body which looked fine, the makeup on her face and her hair were simply atrocious and a mess. She looked like a madwoman. It must have been caused when Sydney hit her earlier.

Lyra looked at the mirror and said with a resentful face, "Just you wait, Sydney Raines. One day, I'll kill both you and that b*stard in your belly. I swear it upon my name as Lyra Madden!"

Outside the door, Mrs. Leigh was about to come in to use the ladies when she heard those words. She withdrew the foot that she extended.

She pursed her slightly thin lips, and her dignified expression was full of disgust. "Madden, huh? It seems like she's the daughter of Trison Corporation's president, but she's so vicious. How ridiculous."

Mrs. Leigh glanced at the washroom door coldly and turned around to walk away. She did not want to use this washroom anymore.

She found it disgusting.

When Sydney returned to the auction site, Luke hurriedly asked, "Darling, what took you so long?"

Sydney held her skirt and sat down. "I encountered some trouble."

"What trouble?" Luke suddenly grew nervous. "Are you okay, Darling?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I took care of it." Sydney smiled at him.

Luke nodded. "That's good. The next auction item is yours."

Sydney's eyes narrowed for a moment when she heard those words.

'So soon? It's already my turn.'

Soon, as an antique was taken away from the stage, the next auction item was sent up to the display.

The large screen behind the auctioneer listed out detailed information about the ring but concealed the identity of the donor. The name "Ms. R." was displayed as a codename, showing that this ring was donated by someone with the last name starting with R.

It was a form of privacy protection for the donors.

However, some people still guessed Sydney's identity. After all, although there were many people whose last name started with R in a large city like Port City, the only famous person with the last name starting with R was that person from Skylight Corporation.

"It's Sydney and Julien's wedding ring!" Lyra's eyes were scarlet as she looked at the spinning ring on the large screen.

'This ring was donated by Sydney. She donated her own wedding ring.

'What's ridiculous is that Julien hasn't even given me a ring yet!'

Lyra's heart was frenzied with jealousy. 'Dad, I want this ring."

Brandon naturally knew that the ring was donated and frowned with disapproval. "Why do you want it? It was worn by someone else before. If you want a ring, tell Julien to buy you a new one."

"Julien won't buy one." Lyra clenched her fists.

It was not like she never hinted to Julien to buy her ring. However, Julien said that one ring was enough, and it would lose its meaning if he bought more. He would buy another one for her when they got married.

However, they were not formally engaged yet, so they had to wait until next year at least. She did not want to wait. She would rather have a ring worn by Sydney. At least it was something that Julien bought.

Brandon could not change Lyra's mind and had no choice but to nod and let her bid later.

The auction of the ring began with a starting price of 30 thousand dollars.

The price was naturally higher because the main diamond was a rare pink diamond.

"40 thousand!" Lyra immediately raised her placard.

Julien, in a room on the second floor, and Sydney, Luke, and Hunter in the back rows all heard Lyra's voice and had different expressions.

Sydney, Luke, and Hunter were surprised, and Julien was confused.

Why was Lyra bidding for the ring?

Julien pressed the bell.

The auctioneer received the message and immediately announced, "The guest in Room 1 raises 10 thousand for a total of 50 thousand dollars. Does anyone want to offer a higher price?"

When Lyra heard that someone was fighting over the ring for her, she looked up at Room 1 on the second floor.

The window of the room was closed so she could not see the scene inside and did not know who the person was. She bit her lip in anger. "60 thousand!"

She also unceremoniously added another 10 thousand without the slightest hesitation. It was clear that she was determined to get the ring.

Julien frowned and rang the bell again.

The auctioneer announced, "The guest in Room 1 increased their bid to 75 thousand dollars."

Lyra shivered with anger and glared at the room fiercely. "90 thousand!"

"Darling, Lyra seems to be fighting with the person on the second floor," Luke said to Sydney.

Sydney nodded and also looked at the second floor. "I wonder who it is. Why is that person fighting for the ring too?"

Although she was surprised that Lyra wanted to buy the ring, she could understand it.

After all, this ring was bought by Julien, so Lyra might want it for herself. However, she was not sure about the person on the second floor.

"Darling, I suddenly want to play too," Luke said playfully.

Sydney raised her eyebrows. "What are you planning?"

The corners of Luke's mouth curled up as he raised his placard. "150 thousand!"

The entire auction site was instantly shocked when they heard this amount.

Although the ring was worth a lot of money, it was only worth around 70 thousand. They already felt that the prices that Ms. Madden and the mysterious guest on the second floor bid were too high and not worth it.

Unexpectedly, another dumb, rich person suddenly popped up and offered 150 thousand straight away. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"What are you doing, Luke? Are you crazy?!" Sydney looked at him in shock.

Luke made a shushing motion. "Don't worry, Darling. I know what I'm doing. Relax."

Sydney saw that his expression was serious and he did not seem like he was joking. She let out a sigh. " Whatever. I'm not going to care about you anymore. Don't play until you go bankrupt!" "Don't sweat it." Luke waved his hand.
