Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 91 The Clown

"It's precisely because so many things happened tonight that I want to buy myself a gift to reward myself," Leah said dismissively, "Ronan is finally acting so generously, allowing me to bid as I please. Of course, I must make an appearance in front of these people. Otherwise, those socialites at every high-profile gathering will look down on me!"

Seeing her determination, Kathleen sighed.

She understood her daughter's feelings. Although the Potter family had a high status, Leah was always looked down upon in the social circle of high society. Every time Leah attended parties, she would come home in tears, feeling wronged... Seizing this opportunity for her to make an appearance would be good so that those people wouldn't look down on her anymore.

"Now we will begin the bidding," the emcee announced. "The starting price is 9 million dollars, with each increase of 500,000 dollars!"

People in the audience started raising their paddles to bid as Micah showed no interest in participating.

Leah also joined in, every time directly raising the price by 1 million dollars to showcase the Potter family's generosity. Soon, she caught everyone's attention.

Leah secretly rejoiced, feeling that she had finally made an appearance.

At this moment, Sadie had no intention of participating in the auction. She was prepared to once again suggest to Micah to leave..

But before she could speak, Micah stood up and reached out his hand to her, "Let's go outside for a walk."

"Sure." Sadie placed her hand in his palm and let him lead her towards the backyard.

Instantly, the focus of the entire room shifted to them, and even the bidding paused...

Leah was very unhappy. She had spent so much money to bid, yet Sadie, who did nothing, easily became the center of attention in the room!

It was truly unfair.

"Don't let that wicked woman affect your mood," Kathleen whispered, "Once you win the bid, let's leave."

"13 million dollars..."

"30 million dollars!" Leah immediately raised her paddle, once again becoming the center of attention in the room.

In a typical auction, each bid would increase by a small amount, but Leah doubled the price, showing off her generosity!

However, she did this not only because she wanted to obtain the diamond ring but also because she was competing with Arianna, the socialite from the Clark family who had once madly pursued Ronan, causing quite a scandal. Leah didn't dare provoke Micah, but she couldn't afford to lose to the Clark family.

"Mrs. Potter bids 30 million dollars, first bid at 30 million dollars, second bid at 30 million dollars..."

Leah revealed a proud smile, thinking that she would finally win.

"50 million dollars!" Arianna suddenly shouted a bid.

"You..." Leah burned with anger and raised her paddle immediately.

Vincent hurriedly stopped her, "Mr. Potter has instructed that the maximum bid is 50 million dollars. Please don't raise your paddle if it exceeds that amount." "Why?" Leah angrily asked, "It's not like we can't afford it."

"It's not about the money," Vincent explained in a low voice. "Mr. Potter considers that if someone bids over 50 million dollars, it means they really want that item." "Going to fight would affect our business relationship."

"But..."

"Fifty million dollars for the first time, fifty million dollars for the second time, fifty million dollars..."

Seeing the auctioneer about to close the deal, Leah became anxious and immediately raised her hand to bid. Vincent hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Madam, you can't..."

"Get away from me!" Leah pushed Vincent away in anger. "You jerk, how dare you interfere with me?"

She raised her paddle again...

"Sold!" the auctioneer announced, hammering down.

Leah's hand froze in the air, once again becoming the laughingstock...

The whole room erupted in enthusiastic applause, as everyone applauded for Arianna.

Arianna accepted everyone's well wishes with a smile and turned around, making a provocative expression at Leah.

Leah trembled with anger. She had already embarrassed herself at the beginning of the night and was humiliated by Micah's people in the back hall. She had only wanted to bid for something to regain a bit of dignity... But she didn't expect to be oppressed again.

She looked around and saw the socialites giving her disdainful and mocking sneers, as if saying, "What a clown!"
