Chapter 857


    Flora nced at the scene. “Is there any bidder who’d like to raise the bid?”


    Dale wanted to raise his card, but the person next to him pressed his hand down. “Give it a serious


    thought, Mr. Dale! We can’t afford 30 million dors. He’s filthy rich. We should give up on this. It’s just


    a woman. If you want to have her, we can figure out something else.”


    “Fine.” Dale had no other choice despite his sense ofpetitiveness.


    A man’s best asset was his own capability.


    Ethan remained in his position with his legs crossed and his chin resting on his palm. He sat like a


    boss.


    Flora wanted to turn him into aughingstock, but she became one instead.


    “30 million dors, once. 30 million dors, twice. 30 million dors, thrice… The lot is knocked down at


    30 million dors!” she announced the result reluctantly.


    She didn’t expect that man to be able to pay such a high price.


    Ethan stood up, looking at Flora as though he was looking at a clown. “Can I take her away now?”


    Kelvin and the others would arrive half an hourter. Even if Flora had something up her sleeve, Ethan


    would be able to put up with it.


    There was nothing Flora could do for now. There were so many watchful eyes. Taking her words back


    was tantamount to breaking the rules.


    Even though it was an underhanded business, rules were rules.


    If she broke these people’s trust, who else woulde for a deal?


    Besides, she was only a manager. If things got out of control, her boss would punish her once he found


    out about it.


    She wanted to take revenge on Ethan, but now wasn’t the time.


    She faked a smile. “Be my guest.”


    He strode toward the stage, reaching out his palm at Flora. “Keys.”


    She maintained the smile and gave him the keys despite her reluctance.


    Never before had she imagined this man to have such a strong background!


    He paid 30 million dors like it was nothing


    Ethan first unlocked Alicias cage and checked on the girl


    She threw herself into his arms. “Uncle Logan”


    “I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”


    Fortunately, Flora wasn’t mad enough toy a finger on a kid.


    Ethan caressed Alicia’s head before entrusting her to Joshua.


    After making sure that Alicia was fine, Ethan slowly walked toward Olivia, who was drenched in sweat.


    She bit her lip, quelling any noise from escaping her lips.


    Her red lips earned more empathy from others.


    She could barely stay awake due to the grogginess. She didn’t know who it was.


    She pried her eyes open, staring at the iing man. The light behind him outlined his figure.


    The tall man had his face covered with a mask.


    He knelt before her. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, Miss.”


    The chains around Olivia’s limbs were unlocked, and she fell into his embrace.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “I-I’ve been drugged,” she barely said those words into his ear.


    “I know. I’ll help you.” He caught her and carried her bridal style. “Let’s go home.”


    She thought that the person carrying her was Ethan for a brief moment, especially due to the fact that


    she couldn’t see his face.


    “A-Alicia…”


    “Joshua’s here. She’s safe and sound.” He left with Olivia in her arms, and the others watched him in


    envy.


    “Put your mind at rest. Leave it to me.”


    Olivia, who was having it rough, nestled against his chest.
