Chapter 490


    Just as Attlee was trying to walk through the entrance with his wife and daughter, with the invitation in


    hand, one of the security guards stopped him on the spot.


    “Sorry, sir, which corporation do you represent?”


    Attlee was taken aback. “Didn’t you see my text just now? Haven’t you heard of the Murphy group?”


    “The Murphy group?” The security guard seemed genuinely clueless. Today’s auction was filled with


    top–notch corporations, and he had never heard of smaller ones like the Murphy Group.


    He hurriedly asked his colleague, “Is the Murphy group also participating in the auction today?”


    “I’m not sure. It doesn’t ring a bell. Let me check.”


    “Sorry, could you please wait a moment?”


    Attlee and his family seemed a tad unhappy being held up at the gate. “This is the text you guys sent


    me to remind me toe over today; how could this be an issue? Can’t a text prove my identity?”


    Olga couldn’t help but blurt out, “He’s the richest man in Tranquil City!”


    “Tranquil City?” The security guard in charge was visibly dumbfounded. He hadn’t heard of such a


    ce.


    Another security guard also looked lost. “Tranquil City? Where’s that?”


    A third guard couldn’t help but whisper, “Summerfield is divided into four districts, and the least


    developed one is the North District. The North District has four counties, and the least developed one is


    Seraphim Haven. Within Seraphim Haven, there are four towns, and the least developed one is


    Tranquil City. That’s the Tranquil City he’s talking about.”


    The other two guards were left speechless. They finally realized that he was the richest man from a


    small town in Summerfield, not some big shot they mistook him for.


    Seeing the bewildered and speechless expressions on the faces of the guards, Attlee and Olga felt


    extremely awkward.


    Even Ynda felt the embarrassment. Apparently, these guards were pretty clueless, not even


    knowing about Tranquil City!


    Even though Tranquil City was just a small town in Summerfield, it shouldn’t be overlooked!


    “How much longer do we need to wait?” Olga didn’t expect a hup, even before the auction started.


    Would there be any surprises today?


    The guard who had gone to verify the information swiftly returned, “Sorry for the wait; pleasee in.”


    “Please pay more attention in the future. Remember, we’re the Murphy Group. We’re going to win this


    auction today! We’ll be seeing each other a lot more!”


    The four guards didn’t know where their confidence came from. The presence of corporations like the


    McMin Corporation alone was sufficient to put pressure on them, let alone other big corporations.


    However, they didn’t say much and made way for Olga and her group.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “Yoli, did you see that? The way those four guards were falling over themselves to amodate


    Keh and Louisa. We need to elevate our status and be part of high society, so we won’t have


    to go through such embarrassments!”


    “Mmm, I’ll remember that.” Ynda also wanted to uplift her status. She made up her mind to attract a


    wealthier man than Zachary today.


    Attlee looked at the seat number in the text message and kept searching, only to find their seats were


    in thest row.


    “Isn’t this too far?” Olga was a bit worried: “Can the auctioneer see us when we bid?”


    “We’ll have to make do.” Attlee didn’t expect the organizers to put them in such a remote spot,


    especially close to the restroom. Although dissatisfied, they couldn’t do much about it. At least they


    could attend the auction.


    “At least we have seats. Look at all thepanies outside that want to participate but don’t qualify.”


    Attlee tried tofort himself.


    When they entered, they noticed many representatives from smallpanies waiting outside, hoping


    to meet important figures after the auction.
