Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 224

The day before the land auction. Yasmine met with Yvette. After Their last conversation, Yvette no longer felt

afraid when facing Yasmine. With everything laid out in the open, the worst ise scenawas just ending up in

jail.

Yvette ordered an iced Americano, but Yasinine stopped her, "If you're pregnant, it's better to just have some

water"

"Thanks." Yvette was a bit surprised. She could see the clarity in Yasmine's eyes, free of any animosity. "I

misunderstood you before."

"What?" Yasmine was a little surprised.

"I always thought your coldness towards Xavier was just an act of bravery. | heard a lot about you from Helen

and mom. | believed you were deeply devoted to Xavier, and it seemed impossible for you to give up so quickly.

Whether your aloofness and distance were real or fake, | thought he always had a place in your heart. It seems |

was wrong," Yvette chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Yasmine didn't respond to her remark; she wasn't there to chit-chat with Yvette. She got straight to the point,

"Are you and Xavier also attending tomorrow's land auction?"

Yvette thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Do you have a piece of land you want to buy?"

Yasmine nodded, "Emerald Isle."

"No wonder, everyone in Soucrity is going crazy over an Emerald Isle. I've heard that this tMr. Ellis didn't

raise the land price on purpose. In fact, he lowered it by five percent. He is truly a person not driven by money,"

Yvette remarked thoughtfully. A gleam flashed in Yasmine's eyes. "That's really something. Is Xavier also

planning to buy Emerald Isle?"

"Exactly, I've heard the new flight route will pass over this island. If we can acquire Emerald Isle, building a

massive resort there, plus adding attractions like an underwater world, should boost the economy of Soucrity,"

Yvette stated clearly.

She gave Yvette a deep look. "What if | told you the new flight route doesn't actually pass through Emerald Isle?

What would you do then?"

Yvette suddenly dropped her gaze and let out a breath in disbelief. "This... how could it be possible?"

Yasmine chuckled softly as if she had figured something out. "Then lettell you, last tMr. Ellis privately

called us over to say that the new flight route doesn't go through Emerald Isle, but through Crescent Isle

instead." "Impossible!" exclaimed Yvette, looking a bit flustered.

"These words cstraight from Mr. Ellis. How could it be impossible?" Yasmine smiled.

Yvette suddenly looked up at her, "Are you really kind enough to tellthis?"

Yasmine took a sip of her iced Americano and said sarcastically, I'm not telling you this to compete with you but

to have you inform Irene that I'm bidding for the Emerald Isle." Yvette immediately caught on, "You mean?"

"Yeah," Yasmine replied.

"I get it," Yvette said.

After leaving the café, Yasmine bumped into Yonas at the foot of her building. The moment he saw Yasmine,

Yonas looked unusually tense, "Yasmine."

Since the last charity atretien, she hadn't seen much of Yonas Seeing him again after several days, he felt

somewhat unfamiliar. "Mr. Russell, is there something you need?"

"Yasmine..." Yonas didn't say more, his hurt expression fixed on her. How could he express that he was here just

because he missed her so much? There was also something else. He took something from his car and handed it

to her, "This is for you "What is this?" Yasmine asked curiously as she took the item, a kraft paper envelope.

She started to open the envelope, but Yonas stopped her. "Open when you get home."

Yasmine could tell from his serious expression that the contents of the envelope must be something confidential.

She quickly put it down and was about to slip past him but suddenly paused. Turning back, she glanced at Yonas,

"Crescent Isle." Yonas frowned slightly upon hearing those words, "Crescent Isle

"Yeah." Yasmine didn't feel like saying more. She had already informed him, the rest was up to him to figure out.

Yasmine took the manila envelope home, entered her room, and securely locked the door. She slowly took out

the documents inside, her pupils contracted sharply, and her hand trembled slightly. This was...

At the land auction, Yasmine, dressed in a luxurious gown, entered the venue with Morgan. She wasn't sure if the

attendees already knew that it was Crescent Isle that was truly about to rise in value, but the Sanchez family

was determined to acquire Crescent Isle. Besides Emerald Isle and Crescent Isle, which had been mentioned

before, there were a dozen other plots of land big and small, up for bidding at this auction.

The attendees invited to this land auction were rare business tycoons from Soucrity. Yonas and Irene were seated

conspicuously at the front, while Yasmine and Morgan were assigned to the second row. The seating

arrangement reflected their status in Soucrity. Yasmine could see Yonas and Irene already seated from afar, so

she and Morgan took their designated seats. Xavier and Yvette were sitting right behind her, and as Yasmine sat

down, their eyes briefly met.

The first piece of land up for auction had been abandoned for ages, and the starting price was quite low-just five

million to snatch it up. Yasmine wasn't interested in the first three plots; her mind was set on just one from the

start.

When the Emerald Isle was announced, Yasmine could feel the buzz of excitement in the room. She noticed the

warm smile on Hunter's face, sitting not far from her, as the auctioneer announced, "Starting bid is 33 million,

with each raise of the paddle being 3 million." She watched as a dozen or so people in the room raised their

paddles, and in less than a minute, the price had soared 65 million.

up to

Yasmine quietly observed the people who were raising their paddles. The value of the Emerald Isle was at 198

million, any bid beyond that would mean a loss. When the bids reached 165 million, Morgan raised his paddle,

"181.5 million." Yvette nudged Xavier, and he immediately raised his paddle, "186 million."

Yasmine raised her paddle, "198 million."

The price was already at a critical point, and any higher would exceed the actual worth of the Emerald Isle. She

glanced towards the front row where Irene was, and saw her leisurely raise her paddle, "198 million."

If the Emerald Isle is truly on the new shipping route, combined with the subsidies available for developing a

vacation island, there's still a 10 million margin to profit under current conditions. Counting 210 million as a loss.

Yasmine smiled slightly and raised her paddle, "200 million."

In reality, with the price skyrocketing to this point, hardly anyone was still bidding. Only a few remained, notably

the Flynn family, the Sanchez family, and Irene. Yvette was frantically watching Yasmine, knowing exactly what

she planned, certain
