Chapter 253
Heath stood onstage and introduced the final item for the night, “Allow me to introduce the last item up for bids tonight. We saved the best for last. Of course, everyone knows about the miracle doctor who saved the mother of the SR League’s owner.”
Gresham and Vera were excited as that was what they came for. They hoped to bid on this item and buy the miracle doctor’s services. Otherwise, Harold would not make it past the
next few days.
Heath continued, “The miracle doctor can bring the dead back to life. I know it sounds exaggerated, but it’s the most apt introduction for her. Although she saved the mother of the SR League’s owner, she also helped someone regain their ability to walk.
“The miracle doctor is giving treatment to Ivor’s grandmother. Ivor is the director of Knight Group. According to the latest information, Winnie, his grandmother, is doing much better now. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Although I’m grateful that no one in my family is ill, the miracle doctor said the
organizer could not partake in the auction. If not for that, I’d do my best to outbid you.
all.”
Everyone in the hall knew Heath wasn’t exaggerating to please the miracle doctor or raise the price of her services. After all, falling ill was an inevitable part of life. Securing the miracle doctor’s service meant saving their life whenever they needed it.
Bonnie looked at Heath and clicked her tongue. He would have also tried to bid for her service if he had not been the organizer. That was why she explicitly clarified that he
could not join the bid.
After all, the two had been buddies for years. If anyone in Heath’s family needed her help, she would do it for free.
“All right, let the bidding commence! We’ll start with fifty million.”
“Sixty million!”
“A hundred million!”
“They’re bidding so high already?!‘
Gresham and Vera grew pale. Although Harold was in a dire situation, the couple could not bid if the price went too high.
“A hundred and twenty million dollars!”
“Two hundred million dollars,” Xavier uttered his bid.
Bonnie turned and looked at him. He met her gaze and was stunned for a while. Then, he smiled and waved at her.
Meanwhile, Graham grew anxious. He stood up and exclaimed, “Three hundred million!”
‘Ugh, that’s a lot of money. My wallet’s bleeding!‘
A moment later, he turned and addressed everyone in the auction hall. He said tearfully, I’m the head of the Shepard family, and I ask that you all listen to my story! My father has a severe illness, and none of the doctors we hired could help him. They even told us to start planning his funeral.
“The miracle doctor is our last hope, everyone. I beg you to give us a chance this time. My family isn’t as prestigious as other esteemed guests here, but I ask that you believe me. In return, my family will help you if you need our help.”
He then bowed to everyone as his tears fell to the floor. Suddenly, Vera and Trina did the same thing.
“Please consider doing us this favor, everyone. My grandpa’s life is hanging by a threat as we speak.” Tears streamed down Trina’s cheeks. She was determined to be the most loving and thoughtful granddaughter. She knelt and clasped her hands, begging, ” Please!”
She heard everyone muttering about her. They showered her with compliments and approval. Indeed, she had killed two birds with one stone. Firstly, she won the favor of everyone in the high society circle.
Secondly, she could secure the miracle doctor’s service for her family. Once Harold’s health improved, he would love and dote on Trina even more. In turn, that would further consolidate Trina’s standing in the family.
Meanwhile, Bonnie watched indifferently. She admitted that her former sister’s shamelessness was nothing she could ever compare to. Otherwise, Trina could not have attained her status in the family.
Naturally, that did not mean Bonnie could not beat her former sister. Instead, the former did not want to use methods similar to Trina’s. After all, Bonnie did not want to become someone she despised.
