The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 190

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 190 – It was til the fifth item in the auction that took away the breath of the women in the hall. Their shining eyes were glued to the shoes on display, an exquisitely crafted pair of shoes made of crystal.

It was ‘The Worship of Crystal’!

Yvonne clenched her fists tight immediately, her eyes glowing with excitement. She had always wanted a pair but was not able to get one. After finally coming face to face with them, she was determined to purchase it.

She could not bear to sit still as she focused on the shoes. After seeing the starting price of fifty million, her lit-up face turned dull from disappointment.

Fifty million as the asking price? Everyone knew the original price of this pair of heels was only thirty million, yet the starting price was fifty million here! Not only that, plenty of women seemed determined to grab the pair for themselves. The auction was going to be very competitive.

However, Yvonne only brought sixty million in cash with her.

“Yvonne, I know you’ve had your eye on this for a while. Don’t worry, I’ll help you get them today.”

Tristan knew that this was his chance. With that said, he raised his hand.

“Fifty million! Mister Zink bids fifty million!”

The auctioneer was a gorgeous woman with slightly parted red lips as she smiled.

“Sixty million.” “Seventy million.” “Seventy-five million!” “Eighty million!”

Within a few minutes, the price had soared to eighty million!

Huh?

Tristan was overwhelmed. What just happened? What was wrong with these women, paying eight million just for a stupid pair of heels? He promised to get Yvonne the shoes, so he had no choice but to bid again.

“Eight… Eighty-one million!” Tristan yelled through gritted teeth.

Hahaha!

The hall fell into an uproar of laughter after his offer. It was only one million more than the previous bid!

Tristan had no choice. Although his family was considered wealthy, he could not b**n the money just like that!

“Ninety million!” A short-haired woman shot up, raising the card in her hand.

“Ninety million! Miss Goyard here is biding ninety million!” The auctioneer yelled in excitement.

The auctioneer earned a commission per item sold. Although the commission was low, a small percentage of ninety million was a lot!

Meanwhile, the entire hall was in an uproar. In all honesty, ’The Worship of Crystal’ looked immaculate, but how many women in the world could afford to wear them? There were only 10 pairs in the world. Not everyone could put them on.

Most of the guests dealt with businesses of their own. They were smart enough not to bid anymore after Miss Goyard’s ninety million bid.

Tristan’s face flushed a deep red. It was way beyond his budget! Seriously, 90 million?!

Yvonne understood Tristan and was touched. “Tristan, I know you’ve tried,” she comforted.

“Never mind, don’t bother. I don’t like it anymore.”

Yvonne was obviously lying. She really liked the shoes, but she also knew Tristan could not afford it.

“Yvonne, if you don’t like it anymore, I won’t bid for it,” Tristan sighed.

“Hahahahaha!”

Darryl could not restrain himself any further and burst out laughing. This kid was hilarious! Did he not claim to be super-rich? How did he back out so easily?

“What are you laughing at?!” Tristan roared. “At least I can afford ninety million. What about you? Can you pay up to ninety million? Darryl, as a live- in son-in-law, I can only imagine how humbling it is. Did you come here to feel alive since your existence is barely acknowledged at home?”

Tristan did not want to offend Darryl any further. After all, the punch from Dax still stung.

Yvonne was offended by Tristan. She was pleased when he was willing to bid the shoes for her, but now that he started mocking Darryl again, she was not impressed at all. Although Darryl was poor, he was a brave and sincere man.

“Tristan, if you keep behaving like this, I’ll leave,” she frowned.
