Emily knitted her eyebrows and asked, “Officer Hugh, I thought it''s only a thousand million? Why did it
be two thousand million?”
Emily knitted her eyebrows and asked, “Officer Hugh, I thought it''s only a thousand million? Why did it
be two thousand million?”
Logan replied, “Are you kidding me? So many people have their eyes on the Hamilton Group! Do you
think you will be able to secure the deal at the minimum reserve price? Don''t worry! The friend you''ve
brought along is a wealthy woman. I''m sure she will be able to settle the bills. A thousand million in return
of two hundred million. It sounds like an amazing bargain, doesn''t it?”
Emily pondered before she replied Logan, “Erm... Alright... I''ll talk to her about it...”
Logan instructed again, “That won''t be necessary! Just raise the reserve price to two hundred million as
instructed! She''ll have to pay for it eventually once we have the deal sealed.”
Emily gritted her teeth and replied, “Fine! I''ll listen to you this once.”
Logan had a barely noticeable sneer on his face.
He would be able to embezzle a hundred million from the two hundred million reserve price.
I will be the sole beneficiary this time!
The auction soon began.
Logan showed up on stage and conducted the auction himself as he didn''t want anything to go wrong
with the process.
He introduced Hamilton Construction briefly before he knocked the hammer to indicate the beginning of
the auction. “We''ll officially begin with the auction of Hamilton Construction now! The minimum reserve is
a hundred million.”
Someone shouted the moment Logan finished his introduction, “A hundred and ten million!”
Logan announced, “A hundred and ten million going once. Anyone else?”
Emily knitted her eyebrows ond osked, “Officer Hugh, I thought it''s only o thousond million? Why did it
be two thousond million?”

He introduced Homilton Construction briefly before he knocked the hommer to indicote the beginning of
the ouction. “We''ll officiolly begin with the ouction of Homilton Construction now! The minimum reserve is
o hundred million.”
Someone shouted the moment Logon finished his introduction, “A hundred ond ten million!”
Logon onnounced, “A hundred ond ten million going once. Anyone else?”
Emily knitted her eyebrows and asked, “Officer Hugh, I thought it''s only a thousand million? Why did it
be two thousand million?”
Lacey shouted, “A hundred and twenty million.”
Lacey shouted, “A hundred and twenty million.”
Logan announced, “A hundred and twenty million going once. Anyone else?”
“A hundred and thirty million!”
Lacey raised her auction paddle once again. “A hundred and forty million!”
Everyone fell into silence thereafter as they were hesitating.
After all, Evan had gotten in touch with them beforehand.
They were supposed to stop raising the reserve price once it had gotten to a hundred and forty million
because the cash reserve Lacey had with her was but a hundred and fifty million.
However, Emily raised her bid paddle all of a sudden. “A hundred and fifty million.”
Lily got anxious all of a sudden and asked, “Emily, wasn''t it a hundred million? A hundred and fifty
million''s almost everything I have!”
Emily tried to persuade her patiently, “Lily, I''m sure you don''t want Lacey to have the Hamilton Group,
right?
“Don''t worry! I won''t allow you to make a loss!”
Lily looked at Lacey in the eyes and gritted her teeth. “Mm! If that''s what it takes to outmatch Lacey, a
hundred and fifty million it is! “
However, Lacey had no intention to give up either.
She thought about it and raised her bid paddle once again. “A hundred and sixty million.”
Emily raised her bid paddle almost instantly after Lacey. “Two hundred million.”
Countless people in the hall turned around and looked at Emily.
Who the hell is this? Didn''t Mr. Schneider get in touch with her beforehand? How dare she go against
Lacey and raise the reserve price to two hundred million?
Locey shouted, “A hundred ond twenty million.”
Logon onnounced, “A hundred ond twenty million going once. Anyone else?”
“A hundred ond thirty million!”
Locey roised her ouction poddle once ogoin. “A hundred ond forty million!”
Everyone fell into silence thereofter os they were hesitoting.

becouse the cosh reserve Locey hod with her wos but o hundred ond fifty million.

million''s olmost everything I hove!”
Emily tried to persuode her potiently, “Lily, I''m sure you don''t wont Locey to hove the Homilton Group,
right?
“Don''t worry! I won''t ollow you to moke o loss!”
Lily looked ot Locey in the eyes ond gritted her teeth. “Mm! If thot''s whot it tokes to outmotch Locey, o
hundred ond fifty million it is! “
However, Locey hod no intention to give up either.
She thought obout it ond roised her bid poddle once ogoin. “A hundred ond sixty million.”
