Starting With A Divorce Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Go Tell Her

The day before the land auction. Ainsley and Kaliyah met.

After the last conversation, Kaliyah was no longer afraid when facing Ainsley. Since Kaliyah had told the truth, the worst condition was to be sent to prison.

Kaliyah ordered a cup of iced Americano, and Ainsley stopped her. “If you are pregnant, just drink a glass of water.”

“Thank you.” Kaliyah was a bit surprised.

She could see that Ainsley’s incomparably clear eyes were no longer holding any grudge. “I used to misunderstand you.”

“What?” Ainsley was quite surprised.

“I always thought that your indifference to Cason was just pretending. I heard a lot about you from Kaitlin and mom before. I always felt that you were deeply in love with Cason, so you couldn’t give up so quickly. I thought regardless of your previous indifference and estrangement, you always kept a place in your heart. Now it seems that I was wrong,” Kaliyah said.

Ainsley did not answer. She didn’t meet Kaliyah to chat with her. She went straight to the topic, “Will you and Cason participate in the land auction tomorrow?”

Kaliyah thought about it and finally nodded. “Do you want to buy any piece of land?”

“Emerald Island.” Ainsley nodded.

“No wonder, Everyone in Seattle is crazy for just one island. I heard that Mr. Callahan didn’t deliberately raise the price of the land. Instead, he lowered the price by five percent. Mr. Callahan is really a generous person,” Kaliyah exclaimed.

“Well, Cason also wants to buy the island?” Ainsley’s eyes flashed with light.

“Yes, I heard that the new route will pass through this island. Once possessing the island, we can build a huge hotel and other amusement facilities like aquariums. It should make the economy thrive in Seattle,” Kaliyah said word by word.

Ainsley stared at Kaliyah. “If I tell you that the new route won’t pass Emerald Island, what will you do?”

Kaliyah suddenly lowered her eyes and let out a sigh in disbelief. “This… How is this possible?”

Ainsley smiled. She seemed to know something.

“I can tell you now, the last time Mr. Callahan called us over alone, he told us the island that the new route would pass by was not Emerald Island but Halfmoon Island.”

“It’s impossible!” Kaliyah looked a little flustered.

“These words were personally said by Mr. Callahan. How is it impossible?” Ainsley smiled.

“Why would you be so kind as to tell me about this?” Kaliyah suddenly raised her head to look at Ainsley.

Ainsley lifted the cup of iced Americano and took a sip. She said sarcastically. “I’m not telling you this to let you compete with me. I want you to tell irene that I want to bid for the island.”

“You want to 7 Kaliyah asked

“Yes”

“I understand”

After Ainsley went out of the café, she bumped into Manuel downstairs.

The moment he saw Ainsley, Manuel showed a particularly nervous expression. “Aisy.”

Ever since the last charity auction, Ainsley had rarely seen Manuel. When she suddenly saw Manuel after several days, she suddenly

felt a bit strange.

“Mr. Gage, what’s up?”

“Aisy “Manuel did not say anything more. He stared at Ainsley with a miserable expression.

Manuel only came to see Ainsley because he missed her too much. And there was one more thing.

He took something out of the car and handed it to her “This is for you.”

“What is this?” Ainsley took it with doubt. It was a file folder.

She tried to open it but was stopped by Manuel.

“Open it after we get home”

Ainsley looked at his serious expression and knew that what was in the folder should be confidential. She hurriedly put it down and was about to walk past him when she stopped.

She turned around and glanced at Manuel. “Halfmoon Island.”

“Halfmoon Island?” Manuel frowned slightly when he heard the three words.

“Yes.” Ainsley didn’t want to say anything else. She had told him the crucial information, and the rest could only be understood by

him

Ainsley took the folder and went back to her room. She locked the room and slowly took out the documents inside.

Her pupils shrank as her hand trembled.

This was…

At the land auction, Ainsley entered the venue with Matteo in gorgeous clothes. She didn’t know if people who came to the auction knew that the island about to be more valuable was Halfmoon Island, but the Easton family needed to acquire Halfmoon Island.

In this land auction, besides Emerald Island and Half-Moon Island, there were more than a dozen pieces of land that needed to be

auctioned.

The people who were invited to this land auction were all business crocodiles in Seattle. The seats of Manuel and Irene were very close to the front, and Ainsley and Matteo were arranged to sit in the second row.

The seats were arranged according to their status in Seattle. She saw from afar that Manuel and Irene had sat down. She and Matteo

also sat in a good position.

Cason and Kaliyah sat behind her. When Ainsley sat down, her eyes met Kaliyah’s.

The first piece of land in the auction was abandoned for a long time. The starting price was very low and cost the bidder 800

thousand dollars

The first three pieces of land were not what Ainsley wanted. She only aimed for a certain one from beginning to end.

When Emerald Island began to be auctioned, Ainsley could feel the commotion in the venue.

She saw Aedan sitting not far away with a warm smile on his face. The host said, “The starting price is 16 million dollars. Every time

you raise your sign, you will add 2 million dollars.”

She saw more than ten people raise their signs in just a minute, the price was raised to 32 million dollars.

Ainsley quietly watched the people who raised the signs. The price of Emerald Island was around 96 million dollars. A higher bidding

price would mean bad business

When the price rose to 80 million dollars, Matteo raised the sign. “88 million dollars.”

Kaliyah nudged Cason, who immediately raised the sign. “90 million dollars.”

’92 million dollars.” Ainsley raised the sign.

This price was at a critical point. If it was any higher, it would exceed the original value of the island.

Ainsley looked in the direction of the first row. Irene slowly raised the sign. “94 million dollars.”

If Emerald Island was really on the new route, then it would be able to generate profits. The profits and the subsidies gained for developing a holiday island would not exceed 102 million dollars.

Ainsley smiled and raised the sign. “96 million dollars.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

With such a high price, few people continued raising the sign. Only the Baldry family, the Easton family, and Irene remained in the

competition.

Kaliyah looked at Ainsley crazily. She knew what Ainsley was up to. She knew that Irene must be deliberately raising the price.
