    For a moment, everyone could not help but whisper to each other, “What do you think Ms. Grey is up


    to? Do you think they have decided to give up on the bidding?”


    “I don’t think so. I heard that the Johnson Corporation is


    determined to get this project. Moreover, Ms. Grey is personally in charge of this project.”


    “It’s almost impossible for a woman topete with men in the business world. I think Ms. Grey might


    be too frightened toe!”


    “No matter what, she’s handpicked by Old Mr. Johnson to be his sessor. Even if she doesn’t do


    anything, the Johnson family’s assets are enough tost her for a long time. These people’s words are


    so meaningless!” A light voice said sarcastically.


    Landon raised his hand and adjusted his sses. He nced at the empty seat that was reserved for


    the Johnson Corporation. Then he threw a nce at David who was sitting beside him. “Actually I


    nned to see how beautiful this Ms. Grey is but it seems my hopes are dashed.”


    “David, have you ever seen Ms. Grey while you are in Seaxas these few days?” Jimmy turned his head


    and looked at David.


    David answered expressionlessly, “Yes.”


    Upon hearing his answer, Jimmy immediately perked up. “How does she look like?”


    Landon was more observant than Jimmy. He looked at David’s calm expression. Landon’s eyes


    darkened, and the corners of his mouth curled into an intriguing smile. “Do you have other ns for


    your marriage engagement with the Johnson family?”


    The main reason why David appeared in Seaxas this time was to cancel the marriage engagement.


    However, when Landon saw David’s indifferent expression, it was obvious that David had other ns in


    mind.


    Although Landon did not know what made David change his mind, he was certain that David would not


    easily ask to cancel the


    engagement.


    Jimmy stared at David intently. Seeing that David did not reply, he could not help but click his tongue


    and praise, “As expected, the man is unable to resist a beauty!”


    As the three of them were talking, the auction on the stage had already begun.


    “Thend in South Valley covers a total of 176 thousand square feet. The starting price is 16 million


    dors.”


    “18 million dors!”


    “24 million dors!”


    “40 million dors!”


    The urban renewal of the old district in South Valley was a lucrative project. Everyone at the auction


    would not let go of the chance to get the project.


    As the bidding continued, there was an undercurrent in the air, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the


    air.


    “100 million dors!” A gentle voice suddenly sounded.


    Everyone followed the direction of the voice and looked over. When they saw David, they could not


    help but be curious. They did not know whichpany could afford such arge sum of money.


    David bid 100 million dors at once, and that would make some people give up on bidding for the


    project.


    Just as the organizer was about to ask again and close the bidding, Rachel nced at Linda.


    “200 million dors.” Linda raised the sign in her hand.


    Rachel’s slender fingers supported her forehead as she looked at


    the few people sitting in the lower left corner. Her lips curled into a faint smile.


    Louis who was sitting in the third row, could not help but turn to look at the back row after hearing the


    shocking price.


    The light in the back row was dim, and the woman’s face was hidden in the darkness. Only the outline


    of her exquisite face could be vaguely seen.


    Who was this woman?


    The organizer was curious but he quickly calmed himself down. Then he cleared his throat and said,


    “200 million dors. Is there anything higher than this?”


    Before he could finish speaking, a gentle voice came from his left again. “240 million dors.”


    Linda looked at Rachel. After receiving a response, she said unhurriedly, “300 million dors.”


    Jimmy became very interested. He craned his neck to look at thest row. “Looks like the Johnson


    family’s position as the richest family in Seaxas is going to change!”


    Landon could not help but look at the side where Rachel was sitting. “I’m really curious about who has


    the guts topete with David”
