Chapter 1322 She Thought She Had Won
It was only then that Kenton noticed a small line under each auction item. He finally understood the gravity of the situation, but it was too late. Yvette had already shouted her price before he could stop her.
At that moment, Kenton’s anger was quenched by a chilling wave of dread. He could only hope Wynter had overlooked the detail and that his fears were unfounded.
All of a sudden, Wynter calmly raised the bid by one silver coin.
“What does she mean by that? Can bids be raised by an odd number? Didn’t the rules state that all increases must be in even numbers?”
While some appeared puzzled by Wynter’s decision, others looked stricken. As Reggie calmly started the countdown, the crowd fell into panic.
“What should we do? Should we raise the bid?” one questioned anxiously.
“Is it possible? We only have eight silver coins left. We should hold off for the next item,” another suggested.
“But that’s a phone! What’s the use of the phone holder without a phone?” someone countered.
“Oh, come on. The next item might be worth even more,” came the counterargument.
Amidst the clamor, Reggie caught everyone’s attention with a decisive thump of his hammer. “Please remain silent. For those who wish to raise a bid, please hold up your paddle.”
Yvette didn’t dare to raise her bid. Even if she used up all her silver coins, it wouldn’t be enough since Wynter possessed 12 silver coins.
With that said, Yvette remained confident of her victory. As long as Wynter bid more than six silver coins,
she would still lead in the coin count.
Yvette believed they had little to lose. Though Wynter had claimed the phone, she was certain that she could win the fifth auction item. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yvette calmly shook her head.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Meanwhile, Kenton was on the verge of breaking down. Noting his agitation, Lucius let out a soft snicker.
“It seems like you’re quite unsettled, Mr. Wray,” Lucius remarked.
As Kenton forcibly regained his composure, he hurriedly replied, “Not at all. It’s just that this is Ms. Yates‘ first auction. I’m worried she might not be familiar with the rules and end up with a blunder.”
“Oh? Are you talking about the genius trader who’s said to predict the future?” Lucius casually questioned.
With his opportunity in sight, Kenton quickly explained, “Indeed. You might want to hear about her recent achievements, Mr. Darnell. Every stock she has invested in is generating profits. Cascadia is a land bustling with people, so we’re never lacking in speculators.
“If you join us now, we can capitalize on the market bottom and reap substantial returns! If you doubt my word, you can verify
your team.”

Kenton was delighted and attempted to discuss the investment, but Lucius cut him off.
“With a genius like that around, we should heed her advice instead,” Lucius remarked amusingly.
Unfortunately, Kenton missed the subtlety in Lucius‘ words. As he turned to Yvette, he couldn’t help

At that moment, Wynter had received the phone from the waitress.

One businessman remained dismissive of Wynter and let out a scornful snicker. “How lucky you are, Ms. Quinnell. You managed to win a prize.”
Wynter merely responded with a faint smile as she fiddled with her bid paddle. Yet, Kenton seemed to realize something and abruptly stood up.
“Excuse me, Mr. Darnell. I need to speak with Ms. Yates,” he said anxiously.
Lucius made a gesture of approval. In truth, he had already learned about the special rule for the fourth auction item and was eager to watch the crowds‘ reactions.
