My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 954: Because I am the One

Was her intelligence and tactics not even a match for that woman?

This was a battle between women, and she refused to admit defeat. She must win against that woman.

"Dad, even if she is vigilant, so what? At the very least, it proves that she is indeed at this auction. As long as she is here, she won’t escape the gaze and the extermination of our Ivan family. Why bother? We haven’t even played our trump card yet. Once we do, I don’t believe she’ll be able to sit still."

No sooner had Yiren finished speaking than Hua Lunxi, who had gone to the restroom, returned. His bodyguard followed and came over, whispering that Hua Lunxi had not exhibited any suspicious behavior.

Hua Lunxi sat quietly in the back, secretly worrying, hoping that Third Young Master Jun would find Ye Lu quickly so she wouldn’t expose her identity.

The auctioneer spoke up, "Since this gentleman has said he would bid over a hundred million more than anyone else, it seems he is indeed determined to win. So, the final price will be decided by the owner of the item, Miss Yiren."

All eyes in the room turned to Yiren, shaken and unsure of what staggering price this woman would set.

"I’d like to ask this gentleman, you talk big, but what proof do you have that you can come up with that much money?" Yiren asked with a cold arrogance, her chin lifted and a trace of sarcasm curling at the corner of her lips, "At an auction like this, one cannot simply call out bids without the strength to pay. If you can’t pay, the auction’s security would not hesitate to take you down."

Many people also looked at the man with suspicion and speculation. He looked too ordinary for the company present, all of whom were discerning and yet failed to recognize him as coming from any prominent family.

Could he really just be here to cause trouble?

However, the man merely pursed his lips in a smile and stood up calmly, "I am Mr. L. Indeed, I do not have the money to pay. However, I wasn’t the one who wanted to bid. I am simply acting on someone’s behalf."

"Commissioned by whom?"

"The Hua heir—Miss Hua!"

As his calm voice rang out, silence fell over the entire room, an eerie stillness. Everyone present knew of the Hua family and understood what the identity of that female heir represented—a highly sensitive presence.

But had Hua Lunxi not said that this heir had passed away at an early age?

The guests exchanged glances, their eyes heavy with meaningful looks. It seemed there was much more to this story, and the truth was likely to be revealed today.

"Nonsense! How dare you impersonate the Hua heir? You’re truly not afraid of dying!" Yiren’s cold and mocking voice resonated throughout the auction hall.

Yet her heart was filled with rage. Well then, that woman had quite the nerve to publicly drag the heir’s matter into the open—was this a preemptive strike?

"On what grounds does Miss Yiren claim my client is an impostor?" the man asked with dissatisfaction.

A dark light flashed in Yiren’s eyes as she swiftly surveyed every corner of the room.

"Because..." She smiled slightly, a smile filled with pride and contempt, "I have not commissioned you."

Her voice, graceful and clear, brimming with utter confidence and arrogance, announced the shocking news. It struck the audience like thunder, leaving them astonished, stunned, and a wave of murmuring swept through, stirring intense debate louder than before.

What she meant was, she was the Hua family’s female heir.

The expressions on many family representatives’ faces changed drastically, turning extremely unsightly, filled with doubt, wariness, and horror—particularly those whose secrets were held by the Hua family, their expressions fluctuating unpredictably.

After all, with the addition of a major arms dealer as a protective backer, the position of the Hua family’s female heir not only became more prominent but also more fearless of their retaliation.
