Chapter 675 Mysterious Buyer
Winnie shook her head. "The voice sounds young, but who that young has that kind of cash?"
She was clueless.
"Hey, Ronnie didn't follow up? Is the auction just over?"
Melanie chuckled, satisfied.
Winnie stood up, eyes cold. "I told you, someone that stingy wouldn't spend. Even if it's someone from the Peterson family, they can't cough up a hundred billion."
Just then, their door swung open.
Two bodyguards blocked their way. "You two were bidding, right? Don't leave. Mr. Martin wants to see you."
'Mars?'
Winnie's expression shifted.
"Oh, so it was Ms. Anderson who bid 30 billion. I was wondering who had the guts!"
Mars appeared at the door, with someone in his arm. That person, with a delicate figure and a smile in the dim light, spoke, "Winnie, it's fine if you still think about Mr. Rodriguez after getting married, but don't drag the Blanchet family into it. The Blanchet family doesn't want to be enemies with the Peterson family."
Winnie recognized the voice.
'Ishara?'
She was stunned, looking over in disbelief. Ishara was indeed standing next to Mars, clearly more than just friends, holding onto him!
'Was she at the auction with Mars?'
Winnie was caught off guard. She thought after driving Ishara out of the Blanchet family, she'd lay low for a while, seeking Paul's forgiveness.
'When did she latch onto Mars? She was once declaring her love for Lawrence. Wasn't she still pregnant with Lawrence's child, aiming to marry into the Rodriguez family? Quick on the uptake, indeed. Shameless people are truly shameless.'
"Ishara, how do you stay with Mars?" Melanie was shocked, staring at Ishara, while poking Winnie's arm, her voice trembling. "This is shocking me! Winnie, she actually threw herself into Mars's arms, and Mars knows she's carrying someone else's child. Isn't he notorious? How could he accept Ishara?"
Winnie's mind was racing.
She felt both disgusted and scared. 'If these two villains got together, nothing good would come of it.'
Ishara slightly raised her head, looking at Melanie. "Why can't I be with Mr. Martin? I've known Mr. Martin for a long time, we just didn't interact much before. Neither of us is married. If Mr. Martin is willing to form a marriage alliance with the Blanchet family, given the Peterson family's current status, it would bring honor to our grandparents. Right, Winnie?"
Her eyes were full of smiles as she gently turned to Winnie. "Winnie, you went to great lengths to drive me out of the Blanchet family. Mr. Martin heard about it and felt sorry for me. Maybe he wants to sympathize with me and offer his help?"
Winnie's eyes narrowed coldly.
Ishara's words were almost a triumphant provocation.
Winnie turned her gaze to Mars, smiling coldly. "Mr. Martin, as far as I know, you're all about profit. People without value are like trash to you. You must know Ishara has lost her inheritance rights. If you marry her, you get nothing. Will the Peterson family agree to you marrying someone so useless?"
The smile on Ishara's face vanished.
She wished she could shut Winnie up.
Mars caught on to Winnie's probing, though she cleverly riled him up.
He pulled his arm away from Ishara, lifting her chin playfully. "Isn't she carrying someone else's kid? I like playing with other people's women. I wanted to get close to Ms. Anderson, but you didn't give me a chance. Playing around is still an option."
Mars's vague words didn't answer Winnie's questions and made Ishara uneasy.
In fact, Ishara had only met Mars today; this was their first encounter!
She was eager to flaunt her connection with Mars in front of other wealthy families, so she shamelessly followed him. She didn't expect to run into Winnie, so those ambiguous words were part of her act.
She wasn't sure what Mars meant.
But she was confident in her own card—her child!
Winnie frowned, not buying that Mars was just playing around.
'If these two are together, there must be some scheme.'
She felt both disdain and pity. 'Lawrence, this is the woman you cheated with. She turned on you so quickly; this is Ishara's true nature.'
"Mr. Martin and Ms. Blanchet, if you want to show off, find someone else. I have no interest in either of you."
Mars sneered, "I come over to chat with you as I saw your overconfident bid."
"What's there to talk about? Mr. Martin, are you planning to take revenge on me? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at, that the Peterson family can't even come up with a hundred billion? Oh right, Ronnie must have stolen funds from the Rodriguez Group, a hundred dollars at a time, to build up the Peterson Group, right?" Winnie said sarcastically.
"You..." Mars's face darkened. "Winnie, you better remember you represent the Blanchet family now. Does the Blanchet family dare to go against the Peterson family?"
"Winnie, watch your words. Just because you're the acting chairman doesn't mean the Blanchet family is in your hands. If you keep offending people, you'll ruin the Blanchet family," Ishara mocked.
Winnie sneered, "Ishara, be careful not to lose your dignity for fame and fortune. You're carrying one man's child, and as soon as he falls, you seduce another. Your behavior is also ruining the Blanchet family's reputation. Don't bring shame to our grandparents."
"You." Ishara was furious, turning to Mars. "Mr. Martin, did you hear what she said? She said that me getting close to you is bringing shame to the Blanchet family. Isn't she insulting you?"
Mars saw through Ishara's ploy.
Normally, he wouldn't even look at such a woman.
But thinking about their deal and Winnie's attitude, Mars snorted. "Winnie, you just took the Blanchet family's position. Don't go against the Peterson family. Don't provoke me again like tonight. Otherwise, if the Peterson family goes after the Blanchet family, you won't be able to handle it."
'What gave him the confidence to make such a blatant threat?'
Winnie scoffed, "Who said I was provoking tonight? I just wanted to buy. You can't afford it and won't let others buy? Ronnie can't afford a hundred billion dollars, right? You can only secretly warn other wealthy families not to bid and send you to block me. Instead of wasting time here, why don't you think about who can easily come up with a hundred billion dollars in cash? Can the Peterson family come up with it?"
