Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 226 PineMist Island

Irene did not have the time to think about this. She tried hard to think about what happened just now. She did not understand why Ainsley suddenly gave up, but she couldn’t change the fact that

Halfmoon Island now belonged to her.

With the last sound of the hammer falling, PineMist Island was given to the woman in the corner.

Cason looked over strangely. He felt that the woman’s voice was very familiar, but he could not tell

why.

The auction was about to end. Before it ended, Ainsley went to the bathroom.

She was washing her hands when he heard Kaliyah’s questioning voice. “Why did you suddenly give

up? I was tricked to buy Emerald Island for you. I only increased the price for you.”

Ainsley laughed. “Kaliyah, if I were you, I wouldn’t stand here and say such things. I told you to tell

Irene that I wanted Emerald Island. Did you tell her that?”

“I… Of course I did. I told her about this.” Kaliyah took a step back.

“Liar! I thought you would be wise and cooperate with me after what happened last time, but now

it seems that I think highly of you.”

Ainsley’s face became colder and colder and was about to leave.

“Then what about Emerald Island?” Kaliyah pulled her back, unwilling to accept the fact.

“What a joke! You were the one who bought it. You asked me what to do? Does it have anything to do with me?” Ainsley shook off her hand.

“You!” Kaliyah was so angry that she almost couldn’t stand.

It wasn’t just Kaliyah who was waiting for Ainsley at the entrance of the bathroom. Irene was, too.

When Ainsley came, Irene said, “Thank you for giving up. That’s why Halfmoon Island belongs to

me now.”

“You’re welcome,” Ainsley responded with a smile. She quickly left.

Irene said after Kaliyah walked out. “Although I have obtained Halfmoon Island, I still feel a little

uneasy. Can you tell me why?”

Ainsley stood still and looked at her calmly. “Did Kaliyah not tell you? What I want is not Halfmoon

Island.”

“What?” Irene was surprised.

Ainsley didn’t want to answer. She left the place directly.

Get Bons

“Kaliyah, what do you mean? You didn’t tell me the truth?” Irene looked at Kaliyah coldly.

Kaliyah was caught off guard by Ainsley’s words. She shook her head. “No! She only told me that what

she wanted was Halfmoon Island and asked me to lie to you that she wanted Emerald

Island.”

“I don’t think you understand me well. Kaliyah, my anger can arouse serious consequences. Do you

know?” Irene did not believe her words.

She slowly approached Kaliyah. Seeing Kaliyah’s terrified expression, Irene slowly raised her hand

and touched Kaliyah’s belly.

“What are you going to do?” Kaliyah was shocked.

Irene snorted and left.

In the venue, Ainsley slowly returned to her seat.

Ainsley knew that Matteo must be very puzzled now, but he didn’t ask her anything until now

because he trusted her very much.

“Matteo, I received a document yesterday that stated the sea areas involved in the new route.

Halfmoon Island is not included.”

This document was what Manuel had given her last night.

Matteo looked at Aedan. “But, Mr. Callahan…”

“He is a very scheming person. I finally met such a man.” Ainsley exclaimed from the bottom of her

heart.

“He told us about Halfmoon Island because he wanted us to fight for it. He participated in most of

the auctions tonight, but he bought nothing.”

“You mean that what he said to us was just a trick to divert our attention?” Matteo asked.

“What he wants is PineMist Island.” Ainsley nodded.

From the beginning, Aedan only had his eyes on PineMist Island. She did not know how Aedan got

the secret document, but Ainsley knew that it was not easy to get it.

“But PineMist Island was bought by a stranger,” Matteo said regretfully.

“It’s okay,” Ainsley said.

The auction had ended. Most of the people left the venue.

Get Bogus

Ainsley and Matteo were about to leave. The person in the corner who had bought PineMist Island

walked over to Ainsley and took off her mask and sunglasses.

Matteo was stunned. This was Lainey.

“Aisy, did I act like that just now? You gave me a budget of 128 million dollars, but I only used 112

million dollars. You have to treat me to a meal.”

“Okay.” Ainsley smiled gently.

Irene stood up in surprise. She had never expected it at all.

Aedan also saw this scene. His eyes were cold and fierce.

Cason and Kaliyah were also shocked. They couldn’t believe that they would all be tricked by

Ainsley at this auction.

At the auction of PineMist Island, Irene was still immersed in doubt. Now she was even more

shocked. This was a complicated sense of frustration. It was like climbing up to heaven, but being

told it was hell.

The contrast and the feeling of being fooled made Irene almost want to rush over and tear up

Ainsley’s mouth.

But she remembered what Ainsley said in the bathroom.

She looked at Kaliyah in shock. Had Ainsley really told Kaliyah about that thing?

Sure enough, the betrayal was because of the evidence. Maybe Kaliyah also deliberately lied to her.

Aedan walked to Ainsley, looked at her maliciously, and said coldly, “I really didn’t expect Ms.

Easton to play this trick. It seems that you didn’t believe what I said at the beginning.”

“No, on the contrary, after hearing your words, we even carefully planned how to get Halfmoon

Island in the auction. However, a detail arouses my suspicion.”

“Oh? What details? Aedan raised an eyebrow.

Ainsley said softly, “If Emerald Island is indeed not a new route, then there is no need for you to lower the price. But you still sold it at a price lower than the market expectation. That’s why I got

suspicious.

“Just because of this?” Aedan suppressed the shock in his heart.

bed arooted Irene

and appeared close to her grandfather. There is every reason to tell her the news you told me, so she knew about Halfmoon Island long ago.” Ainsley considered all these factors.

Of course, she didn’t mention anything about the proposal that Manuel had given her.

“How did Ms. Easton find out the truth about PineMist Island?” Aedan asked doubtfully.

“It has nothing to do with you.” Ainsley smiled.

Aedan snorted. “Ms. Easton, you’re truly smart.”
