The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 189

Gina absolutely refused to lose face in front of her niece, even if paying forty million dollars for it hurt a lot.

Even Johnny was left dumbstruck.

Selling a panacea polypore for forty million dollars? This would probably never happen again!

He quickly turned to Frank and Kenny. "Gentlemen, are you going to raise the bid?"

Both men were frowning. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Raise? They only had thirty million dollars together.

That being said, they did not expect Gina and her niece to be that stupid to buy a polypore for forty million dollars!

And since neither man spoke, Johnny turned to Gina and Cindy with a smile. "It's all yours, Ms. Zonda."

Gina whipped out her card while shooting Frank a gleeful, triumphant look despite her heart bleeding.

And once the payment was made, Cindy got her wish as she took the wooden chest containing the polypore.

"I'll definitely become a partner of the Salazars with this!" Her eyes were aflame with excitement as she opened the door.

The panacea polypore lay still within the velvet cushioning, but where it should be flawlessly white, it was instead glistening in red. To make things worse, while normal polypores tended to be plump and meaty, this one was rock hard and rotting on the edges!

"What the...” Cindy gaped. "What the hell is this? Why is it rotting? And it's so hard!"

Frank moved forward for a look and chuckled coolly. "Oh, so it's dead.”

It must have been kept in the chest for too long—the herb itself had wilted, losing moisture and hence drying up.

Moreover, the withered edges were signs that the herb itself had been hurt during harvest!

"Dead or alive—what's the difference?" Johnny shrugged nonchalantly.

"How is it not different?!” Cindy bellowed furiously. "I'm giving this as a present! Who would give a dead herb as a present?! And it's even starting to rot!"

"I never said it was alive," Johnny snapped impatiently. "Quit making a fuss.”

"Haha!" Kenny laughed mockingly without holding back at all. "Forty million dollars for a dead herb! You ladies are geniuses!"

Gina and Cindy were both left ashen-faced. After all that posturing, it turned out that they were the clowns all along!

"We're not buying this," Cindy snapped angrily. "Refund us right now!"

"That's right! Refund us, you snake oil salesman!" Gina bellowed, pointed at Johnny in the nose. Johnny frowned and growled, "Watch your words, ladies. I never stopped you from checking the goods before you buy it or browbeat you into buying it. You're the ones who insisted on outbidding the two gentlemen, and you're demanding a refund now that you don't like the merchandise? That's not going to happen.”

Gina and Cindy were left stumped.

However, even if Gina was unable to muster a retort, Gina promptly threw herself on the floor, howling at the top of her lungs, "We're not leaving until you give us a refund! Help! The owner here has just tricked us! Come here, see it for yourself!"

Kenny pursed his lips and leveled Frank a look of sympathy right then—he was now starting to understand why the man was divorced.
