Chapter 493


    Olga was on pins and needles: “How are they bidding so fiercely? What are we going to do now? All


    of our fundsbined are just 1.2 billion dors. If this keeps up, they might snatch thisnd right


    from under our noses!”


    “Thisnd could have been bought for 800 million originally, but now, Attlee nced at the number on


    screen, which had already reached 850 million. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead,


    Ynda was also feeling the heat, her fists clenched. They needed to secure thisnd, or they’d be up


    shit creek without a paddle!


    ‘900 million.”


    “950 million.”


    “1 billion,”


    Finally, Arabe dropped out of the bidding.


    Hans whispered to Romeo next to him, “How much money does the Murphy Group have?”


    “1.2 billion.”


    Then Hans threw his hat back in the ring.


    *1.05 billion! The Collins Group is bidding 1.05 billion!”


    As the auctioneer announced this, the room fell silent. Who would’ve thought the bidding for thisnd


    would reach such heights?


    Olga grabbed Attlee’s hand anxiously and said, “What are we going to do? It’s already at 1.05 billion!”


    Attlee’s hand was shaking like a leaf. All their hopes were pinned on this moment, but now.


    “1.05 billion for the first time.”


    “Dad, bid! Quick!” Ynda, seeing her father’s face turn pale and his forehead slick with sweat,


    hurriedly prodded him. “We still have a shot, dad. Bid! Can you hear me? Dad!!”


    “1.05 billion for the second time.”


    Attlee finally snapped back to reality, raising his hand.


    The auctioneer saw him and cried out, “1.1 billion! The gentleman at the back bids 1.1 billion.”


    Since his seat was at the back, the auctioneer didn’t remember which group he belonged to, so he


    could only say “the gentleman“.


    The room was buzzing. Everyone was curious which group could afford such a sky–high price. They all


    looked towards thest row at the edge, where someone had raised a sign.


    “Which group is it? So loaded?”


    “They’ll have to pay in cashter. You can’t mortgage real estate. Which group has so much cash on


    hand?”


    “Why haven’t we seen them before? And why are they seated so far back? Can they really afford


    this?”


    Hearing the whispers around her, Olga sat up straight. Today, she was going to show everyone the


    strength of the Murphy Group!


    “I won’t bid anymore.” Hans whispered to Romeo beside him, “Your turn.”


    Romeo raised his sign, stunning the room once again.


    “1.15 billion! McMin Corporation bids 1.15 billion!”

    Ynda was so taken aback that she was at a loss for words.


    So that handsome man was a bigwig from the McMin Corporation!


    She finally knew his identity, but at this point, the Murphy family was running low on funds!


    “What do we do? We only have 1.2 billion.” Olga did the math, but she didn’t expect the McMin


    Corporation to be so relentless. Now, only the McMin Corporation and the Murphy Group were left in


    the running!


    They had underestimated the McMin Corporation’s power!


    If the McMin Corporation was willing, their little nest egg wouldn’t stand a chance!


    “1.15 billion for the first time.”


    Attlee’s heart felt like it was about to explode.


    “1.15 billion for the second time.“,


    “ce a bid, Dad. Quick.”
