My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily)

The bid price rose to 80 million dollars.

A few smaller families gave up at that point. Not many families were able to splurge that much money. In fact, 80 million dollars was a substantial amount for the Four Great Families.

The Quinns, the Reeves, the McKees, and the Albotts were the only families who were still fighting for the Yollowail.

After the bid price rose to 80 million dollars, the fighting wasn't as fierce. The Hidden Families had to consider the finances that they had, so they only raised the price by a million dollars each time. Meanwhile, in Box No. 2, Jaiden suddenly declared, "Stop bidding for it, Finley."

Finley paused. "Why, Mr. Quinn?"

"Haven't you noticed that Loid isn't bidding for this?" Jaiden replied calmly and leaned against his chair.

Then, Finley looked at Box No. 1 and realized that all was quiet there. He said carelessly, "So what? He's probably too dumb to recognize Redushil. Anyway, they might not be able to afford it."

On the other hand, Jaiden shook his head seriously. "You're wrong! Loid has never done anything recklessly. Something is off."

Augustus thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Quinn, are you saying that the herb in the auction hall isn't Redushil?"

"Yes." Jaiden stood up and walked toward the window. He looked at the scene outside and answered, "Everyone came here to bid for the Redushil today. It doesn't make sense if Loid only came here for a date. Besides, he isn't skilled in medicine, but he didn't bring Neil with him."

"Would Loid know what Redushil looks like?" Augustus looked at the Yollowail in the hall carefully. It really looked like Redushil.

"Maybe. However, the possibility of that is small." Jaiden looked stern. "The Weisses have been cultivating Redushil for many years. Though many people tried to steal them, they have never succeeded. As such, few people know what Redushil looks like. Loid wouldn't recognize it."

After that, Jaiden suddenly came to a realization. His expression turned serious. "So, that must be the reason."

"What's the reason, Mr. Quinn?" Augustus asked.

"It must be because of Loid's fiancée." Jaiden smiled meaningfully. "I've made a miscalculation. Lily must have hidden her identity from us."

Then, Finley hurriedly exclaimed, "I followed your instructions and stalked her every day, but I didn't discover anything wrong with her!"

Jaiden laughed coldly. "You were discovered by her."

After that, he narrowed his eyes. "Lily is a clever person."

"What should we do now?" Finley looked outside. "The bid price is at a hundred million dollars. Are we still going to bid for it?"

"No." Jaiden returned to his seat and sipped his tea. He smirked. "Observe Loid. We'll only bid if he starts bidding. Let the others fight instead. If there are only two of us fighting for an item, we'll have a higher chance of winning the bid."

Meanwhile, the auction was in full swing.

In the end, the Yollowail was sold to the McKees for 120 million dollars.

The auctioneer continued auctioning off other items.

Since a few families knew that they couldn't win against the Hidden Families and the Four Great Families, they only bought less valuable items.

After that, the auctioneer brought out the second herb.

Everyone seemed to stare at the box seats upstairs. Soon after, the Four Great Families and the Hidden Families returned to their own boxes. They weren't interested in the herb.

In the meantime, Lily was a little tired. She lay in Loid's arms lazily.

Once she looked up, she saw the herb in the hall. Then, her expression changed as she swiftly walked out of the box.

Loid, Shaun, and Daniel were stunned by her abrupt gesture.

After that, Loid reacted and walked toward Lily. He whispered, "Is this Redushil?"

"No." Lily stared at the herb sternly.
