Vivian and Eden continued raising the bidding price.The amount had already reached $18 billion."Twenty billion!" Vivian, now visibly frustrated, upped the bid by another two billion in one go.Eden turned around and flashed a mischievous smile. "Twenty billion? That's too steep. I can't afford that."Vivian frowned, about to respond, but the host had already called the final bid. "Going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations, madam. The earrings are yours!"Vivian turned to Eden, gritting her teeth. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"Eden lifted her gaze and replied, "You started it, didn’t you?""Why you..." Vivian clutched her chest, her face pale with anger.It was only when the host delivered the earrings to Vivian did everyone in the lobby seem to snap out of their shock. Their expressions were filled with astonishment."That has to be the priciest pair of earrings this year. Nothing will top that.""It was the clash of titans.""Tsk, are they all fools?"Twent

The affluent elites of Rielton placed immense value on their lives, especially their patriarchs. They couldn't bear the thought of dying from old age and were constantly searching for ways to extend their lives, even if it meant spending a fortune on something that could give them just one more month.But extending life by three years? Eden would be rich!Eden looked at Horace with a sympathetic smile. "I have plenty. If you want, I'll sell you some at a discount. Let's say... $100,000."Horace was speechless.Caelus had no words either.Alain glanced at Eden out of the corner of his eye and smiled. "I want some too, Boss Griffith. How much for one?"Eden put down her phone and rested her cheek on her hand, thinking for a moment. "You? It's fine. I don't want your money. I'll give it to you."Horace and Caelus both felt a pang of jealousy.Was this how single people felt?It took Horace a while to regain his composure. "Is it really that easy to get?""I guess so. They sell i

In less than ten minutes, the bidding had already skyrocketed to $8 trillion.Some of the smaller households had already bowed out. Very few families had that kind of money. Even for the four prominent families of Rielton, $8 trillion was equivalent to using all of their available funds.At this point, only the old-money families like the Wheelers, the Millers, the Moores, and the Johnsons were still in the bidding war.However, the bidding had slowed down considerably. Once it hit $8 trillion, even they had to think about their financial limits. That's why the bids were only increasing by $10 billion at a time.The bidding continued, but back in Room Number Two, Terry suddenly said, "Nelson, stop bidding."Nelson was stunned. "Sir?""Haven't you noticed that Alain's side has been quiet this whole time?" Terry leaned back in his chair, his tone relaxed.Nelson glanced over and realized they were indeed quiet, but he didn't think much of it. "So what? That just means they don't r

Eden lifted her head and saw the herb in the lobby. Her expression changed, and she immediately walked out of the room.Alain, Horace, and Caelus were all taken aback by her sudden action.Quickly regaining his composure, Alain caught up with Eden and whispered, "Is that the Bloodgod Herb?""No," Eden replied, her expression serious as she studied the herb.Horace followed them and asked, "If it's not the Bloodgod Herb, why are you so excited?"At that moment, the host began his usual opening speech. "This is the second herb up for auction today. The starting bid is $10,000...""100 thousand!" Eden interrupted before the host could finish.The old-money families around her burst into laughter. This herb didn’t resemble the Bloodgod Herb at all, and with a starting bid of only $10,000, it clearly wasn't anything impressive.No one would compete for it even if she bid just $11,000. But she bid $100,000 instead.What a fool.But then, a voice came from Room Number Two. "10 milli

Both Alain and Terry were taken aback.Terry stared at Eden in disbelief.Everyone emerged from their private rooms, casting curious glances at Alain and Eden.Alain rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.After a moment, Alain said, "Caelus."Caelus, still in shock, snapped back to reality. He walked over to Alain and replied, "Mr. Ward?""Move all available funds into my name right now. All of them," Alain said, casting a glance at Eden and sighing.50 trillion…He wondered if he could actually gather that much.Caelus hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll get on it right away."The auction fell into complete silence.Even the host was momentarily at a loss for words.He knew the herb he was auctioning wasn’t the Bloodgod Herb and was worth at most 50 thousand dollars.And now, it was sold for…How many times more?"You..." Terry stared at Eden, rendered speechless.He thought he had enough funds, but he hadn’t anticipated Eden bidding 50 trillion doll
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 227
In the end, Eden won the herb with a bid of $200.Horace and Caelus were puzzled by Eden's actions. Caelus was more composed and chose not to ask openly, but Horace couldn’t hold back his curiosity."What’s this thing, Eden? $200... It’s not anything special, right?"Before Eden could respond, Alain and Caelus rolled their eyes at him.Horace, irritated, asked, "Seriously? Rolling your eyes at me? Did I say something wrong? What can $200 get you?"Caelus replied, "Do you really think Ms. Griffith would buy an herb without a good reason?"Alain didn’t even bother to look at him.Horace, still unconvinced, pressed, "What is this thing, Eden? Tell me.""It’s the Bloodgod Herb," Eden said as she placed the herb into a small box and put it into her bag.With everything she wanted secured, her demeanor softened and she seemed much more relaxed.Alain was left speechless.Horace’s jaw dropped.Caelus was too stunned to speak.All three of them gave Eden a thumbs up.No one would

When Terry saw Eden leaving, he had a sinking feeling in his gut.The staff then brought him the auction item. Terry paid for it and immediately turned to Cain. "Something’s not right. We need to go back as soon as possible. Can you check if this is the Bloodgod Herb?"Cain leaned back in his chair, looking defeated. "There’s no need to check. This is not the Bloodgod Herb.""What?!" Nelson’s face went pale with shock. "That can’t be! We paid 80 trillion for this!"Terry's face was also grim. He stared at Cain and asked, "Are you sure?""I'm absolutely sure. This isn't the Bloodgod Herb," Cain said, shaking his head. "I tried to warn you, but you wouldn’t listen."Cain had noticed something was off when Terry and Eden started bidding, but his warnings fell on deaf ears."Then who has the real one?" Terry’s demeanor turned icy, radiating a chilling intensity."Eden," Cain said, stroking his beard as if deep in thought.Terry’s eyes narrowed. "The one she spent 50 trillion on?"

"I..." Skylar paused before continuing, "I didn't mean anything by it, Ms. Griffith. It's just that you know what this is. This herb is called the Celestial Herb. It’s sold for a low price but is incredibly valuable—more valuable than the Bloodgod Herb, right?"Eden smiled, her hands in her pockets, looking at Skylar with a roguish glint in her eyes. She raised an eyebrow, signaling him to go on."The Celestial Herb is my father's most prized possession. There are only two in existence: one with my father and the other with a retired elite. My father and this person were close friends, but he lost contact with them a few years ago after they suddenly disappeared." Skylar paused, noting Eden’s darkening expression.He continued, "Before the auction began, my father asked me to change the rules and put the Celestial Herb up for bid. If someone spends everything they have to buy it, I’m to refund the entire amount after the auction. He also wants to meet you."Eden’s eyes narrowed, he
