“11 million!” William continued to raise the price. He was determined to win the Aspher.
Millie noticed that William kept raising the price. This time, she increased it by only 500 thousand yewros. Millie wanted to wear out William’s patience since she only had a budget of 20 million.
She sighed, thinking that if she couldn’t get the Aspher, she would have to negotiate with William. She knew that dealing with someone like him would be difficult, as he would likely be arrogant toward her.
William increased the price once more. “12 million.”
Millie offered. “12.5 million.”
William shouted, “13 million!”
Millie was agitated.
“Why does he need Aspher for?” Marvin wondered if William knew the benefits of Aspher. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Millie found herself in a dire situation. While she was delighted to see that foreigners appreciated the Chirean culture, she also longed for valuable medicinal herbs to reach those who truly needed them.
However, William remained stubborn, leaving Millie with no choice but to persistently increase the price. At this time, William said, “I’d like to request a break in the auction.”
“Approved,” the auctioneer responded.
After the tense situation, everyone felt relieved and calmed down. The atmosphere became more lively, and everyone started discussing who would manage to get the Aspher.

Millie got up, feeling exhausted from sitting for so long. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door Millie and Marvin instinctively turned toward it.
The door was pushed open, revealing William and his assistant standing there. Much to her surprise, William didn’t even bother to wear a mask as he appeared. She wondered what he wanted.
“Miss, could we have a chat?” he inquired with a smile.
Millie looked at him nonchalantly. There was no denying that William was still very handsome. She replied, “We have nothing to discuss.”
William shook his head. “I believe we do.”
As he spoke, he reached for his phone. On his phone was Millie’s entry information. “Miss, you just arrived in Musbane today. I couldn’t help but notice that you don’t appear to have any identification.”
Millie was surprised that William was investigating her. She realized she should have hidden her identity sooner. Despite this, she remained calm and asked, “So what?”
“So you can’t bid more than 20 million tonight,” he replied.
Millie nodded. “Yeah.”
“Then why are you competing with me for the Aspher?” he asked.
Millie glared at William with a complex expression under her mask. Her vulnerability was exposed. She felt powerless.
William smirked. “Do you really want it?”
Millie didn’t answer. William casually handed Millie a hotel room key card and asked with a smile, “How about this? Come find me here in 20 minutes, and I’ll give you the herb?”
Her expression turned somber in an instant. Marvin stepped forward to refute but was stopped by Millie.
“Mr. Pearson, are you being serious?” Millie asked, her amusement evident.
William grinned. “I always keep my word.”
She agreed and waved the room card in her hand. “Alright, I’ll see you there.”
Marvin felt concerned and pondered about Millie’s intentions.
With a gentle smile, William leaned in and lovingly brushed his fingers through Millie’s hair. “Great! I’ll wait for you.”
William and his assistant departed, leaving Millie behind as she tightly grasped the room card. It was incredibly humiliating to trade Aspher for a room card. His actions were truly despicable.
Millie was on the verge of heading back to her room when she noticed a man approaching from a distance. Without hesitation, she said calmly, “Let’s go.
