    Chapter 2539


    Companies that received the message had gathered for the final announcement of the results. They all


    wanted to see who would ultimately acquire Riddle Corporation''s NandoCorp.


    Of course, news in the industry spread easily, and everyone was here to see whether Nicole or Harvey


    was the winner.


    After all, regardless of who won, it would add a new story for San Joto''s elite circles to talk about.


    People at the auction venue chatted and spected in small groups. Most believed that Harvey would


    likely secure the NandoCorp. They also spected what Nicole would do after losing the branch.


    "Ah, here shees," someone whispered as they spotted Nicole. Those who had been gossiping just


    moments ago immediately fell silent and greeted her with polite smiles.


    Nicole, naturally aware of what they were thinking, cast a cool gaze at the crowd before making her


    way to her seat.


    Once seated, beside her, Lulu whispered, "Are all these people just here for the spectacle?"


    "Most likely." Nicole seemed indifferent. It was clear that most of them were here for that reason.


    "They need to get a life." Lulu rolled her eyes. "What does it matter to them who gets it?"


    "Curiosity is human nature," Nicole replied calmly.


    Lulu pursed her lips but had to admit that Nicole was right.


    "He''s here!" someone in the crowd suddenly eximed, sounding quite surprised.


    Nicole initially thought it was Harvey and did not bother looking up. She continued to flip through the


    documents, pondering what she would do if the auction did not go her way. After all, she could not


    allow NandoCorp to fall into Harvey''s hands.


    However, when she sensed a shadow looming over her, she frowned and looked up.


    She was astonished to see Jared. "Why are you here?"


    Jared sat beside her and said nonchntly, "To keep youpany."


    "It''s not necessary," Nicole said with a subtle smile. She now realized why people had been surprised

    earlier.


    With Jared by her side, Nicole suddenly felt at ease. It was as if even if she lost, it would not be a big


    deal. They could figure out a solution together.


    "Mr. Ellison is here too!"


    Everyone lowered their voices when Harvey arrived. They went back to their respective seats.


    Harvey saw both Nicole and Jared as soon as he entered, and his gaze immediately turned cold.


    ''Jared''s here too, huh?''


    Harvey walked over, taking a seat on the opposite side of Nicole. There was some distance between


    them, but they both upied the front row. With just a turn of the head, they could see each other


    clearly.


    "Mr. Ellison, everything''s ready," his assistant said quietly, cing a document in front of Harvey.


    "Good." Harvey cast a meaningful nce at Nicole.


    He wanted to see what Nicole would do if NandoCorp fell into his hands. Even with Jared by her side,


    he believed there was nothing they could do to stop him.


    Soon, the final phase of the auction was about to begin.


    Harvey''s assistant and Lulu delivered the prepared documents. The other attendees had already given


    up because they knew they had no chance.


    Since these two parties werepeting so fiercely, there was no room for others, so they might as well


    wait and see the final oue.
