The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Chapter 714

No, forget being taken for a ride—there was no refund for any items sold on the auction, and the auctioneers

took no responsibility for it.

The worth and willingness to bid for each item depended on each bidder's insight. No one could blanyone

else if their insight proved lacking.

Naturally, Sif could mention her family name. But while that could coerce the Leaf family into giving a refund,

word of her lacking insight would spread.

She could not afford the humiliation, just as she hated being labeled as a rich failure.

As such, she had no choice but to take the bullet for the sake of her family.

Nonetheless, that was when Trevor decided to flash a vague smile just to rub it in. "So, Ms. Lionheart— you could

stop flexing with that now, don't you think?"

"Ahem." Tavis quickly tried to patch things up. "You shouldn't say that, Mr. Zurich. The Hyperion Root may not be

mature, but it's still a treasure in itself."

"You heard him." Sif snorted, quick to excuse herself even if it sounded forced. "Even if it's too young, bumpkins

like you won't be able to afford it anyway!"

Frank, however, simply smiled at Tavis and asked, "In that case, | have a question for you... How much is that

treasure of yours worth?"

"Guh." Tavis was stumped, and it took him a long while to look up at Sif, speaking ever so quietly while he braced

himself. "Judging from the medicinal value and age. around 200 million."

Sif seized him by the collar right then. "What?! 200 million?! That's impossible! You're lying!"

"N-No..." Tavis shook his head, pleading.

"Yes, he is." Frank nodded.

"Hmph. | knew it." Sif released Tavis and turned toward Frank, pressing urgently, "How much do you want for it?"

"100 million." Frank smiled, leaving her thunderstruck.

Sif collapsed on her seat and stared into thin air. Tavis actually inflated the price because he wanted to help her

save face for something she bought for 3 billion dollars!

She could bawl right then, realizing that she bought the Hyperion Root for thirty times its value.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lawrence," Trevor spoke up just then, intent on adding insult to injury. "Ms. Lionheart has

already made it clear that she has all the money she needs. She wouldn't care about sspare change."

Sif was glowering, but her tears were threatening to well out too.

She had been mocking everyone else for their ignorance, only for it to turn out she was the ignorant one all

along—first spending 3 billion dollars on a Hyperion Root and now 2.5 billion on srubbish milk-white

stalactite!

That's a whopping total of 5.5 billion dollars—her family would have her head for this!

Nonetheless, Tavis leapt to Sif's defense right then, pointing between Frank and Trevor. "Don't get so conceited

when you messed up too, Mr. Zurich! Ms. Lionheart may have lost smoney because of her mistake, but

neither of you fared any better!"
