Chapter 1904


    Keith on stage was pleased with the audience’s reactions.


    He smiled and said, “Everyone, Dickson Walter, the owner of East World Hotel entrusted the Harris


    family to put East World Hotel up for auction because he wants to expand abroad. I hereby announce


    the starting bid for East World Hotel is 50 million. Each increase can’t be less than one million dors!


    East World Hotel is now officially up for auction!”


    The starting bid alone was 50 million!


    Besides, each increase must not be less than one million dors!


    How expensive!


    Most of the people present did not have the financial means to buy such a hotel. However, a small


    group of people was also interested in East World Hotel. It included the patriarch of the Sheldon family,


    Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, and the patriarch of the Jensen family, Fernando!


    “Herees the fun,” Fernando said as he rubbed his hands together, his face flushed.


    “Dad, are we bidding on East World Hotel? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jonathan asked.


    Fernando nced at his precious son before snapping with augh, “If I told you, wouldn’t you have


    announced it to everyone? It’s a trade secret. How could I tell you so easily?”


    Jonathan nodded in understanding and agreement.


    The patriarch of the Sheldon family, Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, frowned slightly and


    said, “East World Hotel is up for auction. The Jensen family will go after it… They must win the hotel.”


    “Should we bid then? The Sheldon family isn’t in the real estate business,” Luna said hesitantly.


    “The real estate industry is doing great now. Wouldn’t it be a shame for us not to get involved? East


    World Hotel is the Sheldon family’s first step into real estate,” Caden replied confidently.


    Lydia sitting in the back row immediately looked at Morine and said, “Commander, the hotel we’re


    staying in is East World Hotel, and now it’s up for auction! It looks like we’ll have to find another hotel


    soon.”


    Morine nodded slightly at Lydia’s words.


    East World Hotel’s auction was nothing for him. They could just find another hotel. However, Morine


    thought of Gabe and Derrick.


    Gabe and Derrick were respectively the chief police and the director of the prosecutors’ office. They

    had a lot of power but no business of their own. Thus, they were leaders at the top, but money was


    tight for them.


    Morine felt the need to help them, and East World Hotel seemed like a good opportunity.


    “Everyone, take the time to bid. The opportunity waits for no one! If you miss this great opportunity, it


    will be impossible to find it again!” Keith on stage said.


    No sooner had he finished speaking than a potbellied middle-aged businessman raised his auction


    paddle and shouted, “I bid 55 million for East World Hotel!”


    55 million!


    The businessman seemed to be wealthy as he raised five million dors in one go. However, no sooner


    had he said that than a second bidder began bidding.


    “I bid 56 million!”


    “57 million!”


    The price of East World Hotel soared to 60 million in the blink of an eye.


    Just then, Fernando, sitting in the middle of the first row, suddenly raised his auction paddle and


    shouted, “We’ll bid 70 million for East World Hotel!”


    70 million!


    It was just over 60 million earlier, and now it soared to 70 million!


    The price immediately silenced the bustling auction hall.
