The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu Chapter 705
"Fine. I guess we'll see.” The woman sneered, clearly hostile toward Frank and
Trevor.
Trevor was going to argue, but Frank stopped him. "Don't cause a mess. We're
here for the auction.”
Trevor snorted coolly. "Well, we're letting her off easy.”
His business operated mainly abroad, but he still had strong influence in
Draconia. How else could he have investigated the Leaf family so quickly?
Meanwhile, auction items were quickly leaving the table, and the more important
ones were now being presented.
Soon, Frank found himself staring a fist-sized yellowed tree root, laying still in a
chest cushioned in red velvet cloth.
"Look, Mr. Lawrence! Isn't that the Hyperion Root?!" Trevor exclaimed excitedly,
not noticing the frown on Frank's face.
Jenny Leaf—Bail's daughter and emcee of the auction—personally introduced
the item. "Honored guests, the next item is one of my father's most precious
pieces, and it's often presented for appraisal: a Hyperion Root, which represents
the wood element of the Five Elemental Wonders. It is an object of utter rarity,
and it wasn't easy for my late father to acquire it."
Jenny then lifted the sandalwood chest over her head, while the cameras
zoomed in on the Hyperion Root.
As she gently brushed her fingers over the herb, a yellow radiance emanated
from it, coupled with a strange sweetness that everyone in the auction hall could
smell.
Under the illumination of the stage lights, the unordinary root revealed its true
essence—a herb gleaming bright in green and yellow hues.
"It really is the Hyperion Root! I will have it!"
The woman beside Frank sprang to her feet, her eyes flashing in yearning and
delight as she shook in thrill.
It turned out that she was not the only one interested either—once the Hyperion
Root was presented and proved genuine, everyone in the auction hall grew
restless, their eyes twinkling as they stared at it.
At the same time, Jenny continued, "It has been a precious part of my father's
collection, and I'm sure everyone here knows its worth. Without further ado, I
hereby announce that the bid starts at a hundred million, and each subsequent
bid must be a million or more.
"And the bid starts... now!"
At Jennys call, the air in the room became charged.
"101 million!"
"Hah! Your bid is terrible... 110 million!"
"Stop fighting! It's mine! 180 million!"

Some men had clearly come after hearing rumors of a Hyperion Root being
auctioned and prepared a huge sum in hopes their bid was successful.
Everyone knew how rare the Five Elemental Wonders were, as centuries could
pass without any being found.
