Chapter 649

Caleb’s ego took a blow.

The question was–why was he the victim?

Caleb had nothing to do with Mia and Ginger. Only Mia, according to the men’s guess, might he

something to do with Timothy.

Caleb’s frustrated expression lightened Mia’s mood.

Ginger tiptoed and witnessed how Mia taught her irresponsible “father” a lesson.

Nice job, Mommy! This shouldn’t be the end of it. There should be a part two!” she cheered.

“He’s not that stupid to take the bait twice.” Mia had no intention of fooling Caleb again

either.

Caleb completely lost his mood. His spirits were low for the rest of the auction. Nothing seemed to

pique his interest anymore.

Mia’s spending habit provoked jealousy in Luna. Compared to Mia, who could spend as much as

millions so easily, Luna couldn’t even spend 100 thousand dollars at the auction.

Luna spoke to Caleb, who was sitting in front of her, “Caleb, why don’t you clear things up with the lady

on the second floor? What if she keeps picking on you? That won’t do.”

“You think I haven’t done that yet? It’ll only work if she believes me!”

“Why does she think that you’re the father of the kid?” She couldn’t figure out the answer to the

question.

He sighed, “Who knows? I’ll ask her again after the auction.”

He could never take the blame for anything. If Ginger was really his daughter, he would surely take

responsibility.

The official auction ended. Now, it was time for the additional items for the second round

auction

From the second floor, Mia scanned the additional items for bidding. Her eyes fixated on the reishi

mushrooms. “That’s up for bidding too? No wonder so many people stay after the

official auction.”

The second round was generally a private auction, in which the host wouldn’t be responsible

for any shams found.

Therefore, fewer people would join the second round.

Mia looked at the two men on the first floor. They hadn’t left.

Were they coming after the reishi mushrooms as well?

Ginger climbed onto a stool to take a view of the first floor. “Mommy, Mister hasn’t gone

“Yup. The auction is ending, Ginger. If you don’t have anything to buy, you’ll waste your apology gift.”

Even if Ginger were to buy shams, Mia wanted Thanner to suffer a huge loss.

“But I haven’t seen anything that I like.”

Mia suggested, “Buy the most expensive one then.”

Then, the second round began.

Not many people competed for the first few items. When the reishi mushrooms were taken onstage,

many people began to pay attention.

The auctioneer introduced the item, “These are precious reishi mushrooms. The initial bid price is one

million dollars.”

“1.5 million dollars.”

“Two million dollars.”

The bidding soon reached up to a staggering five million dollars.

Right then, Timothy raised his number. “10 million dollars.”

The bid price stunned everyone.

That was two times the previous bid price! It was mind–blowing to see someone bid such a high price.

Mia was amused when he bid that much. “He really came here for the reishi mushrooms.”

“Mommy, is his family sick?”

“I’m sure, but that is possible.” People mostly purchased rreishi mushrooms to treat an illness.

Ginger frowned, “Mommy, this seems to be the most expensive item. But should I compete with Mister?

Mia looked at her daughter. An idea flashed across her mind. “Ginger, do you know how you can leave

a deep impression on him?”
