The whole hall was filled with noise and excitement. However, there were so many people who were
hiding themselves in the dark and everyone was cunning, they would never reveal their real figures.
Therefore, most of the people around had talked about how much energy and efforts they had made for
the cooperation opportunity.
Lily could not help but feel sad for all of them when she heard these words, and she hated Angus more
than ever. He had tricked so many people by this fraud.
The bidding was still early. Lily was waiting for the bidding with boredom, while Andrew was sitting
quietly, his eyes unfocused, as if he was in a trance.
Lily looked around the hall. Just as she was about to look back, she saw several familiar figures. Dillon,
Eden and Simon and Frank, who sat not far away from them.
Their seats were placed at a relatively favorable position, so that the people on the stage could see
them at a glance.
So, Lily, who sat behind them, could see them. But if they did not turn around, they would not see her
at all.
The time for the bid was getting closer and closer, and Lily became more and more anxious. She still
had no response to the mobile phone in her hand, and there was still no news from Hailey…
Ten minutes later, a familiar figure came into the bidding hall. It was no one else but Noble whom she
hadn't seen for a long time. Wearing a suit, he exuded a powerful presence, which was hard for people
to ignore.
Isn't he abroad? Why is he here? Was he here for the bidding?
If he participated in the bidding, Ellison and Eric should have told him the truth, and why did they allow
him to be involved in it?
Noble didn't notice Lily. He found a relatively remote place and sat down. He seemed to be bidding or
watching a show.
It was not easy for Lily to find him or call him. Finally, she took out her mobile phone, found his number,
and quietly sent a message to him.
The content of the text was very simple: brother, are you also here for the bidding?
After sending the message, Lily raised her head to gaze at the direction of Noble, observing his
actions, but didn't see any of his moves.
After a while, her phone buzzed. Lily was startled. She checked the message immediately, and it said,
"Watch the show."
Well, he was here to watch a show.
Lily breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to make people around her suffer losses, neither did she
want the people around Eric suffer losses. That was why she was so concerned about everyone
around him.
The bidding started. Wearing a suit, Angus appeared on the stage ahead, followed by five or six staff.
Half of these staff were foreigners, while Angus walked at the front. When Angus went up to the row of
seats on the stage, his seat was naturally the one in the middle, and the rest of the seats were
allocated according to the positions of that group of staff.
Angus was in the middle, others sat on the seats in a row from high to low position on both sides.
"Thank you for attending this bidding." Sitting down, Angus started the bidding with his fluent Chinese.
"In the next bidding, we will adopt a more conservative approach. In order to avoid mutual price
reductions and to be fair, our method is to collect the bids from everyone, but we will not disclose
everyone's bids. Then, comprehensively analyze all cooperation projects and various types of
cooperation projects, and adopt the method of survival of the fittest. The winner will naturally sign a
cooperation agreement with it. "
After hearing that, Lily coldly curved her lips. The bidding was really special. Perhaps in these people's
eyes, it was fair, but everyone clearly wrote the bidding price in their project cooperators. No matter if
the bidding price wasn't announced in the public, the people whose prize was lower would definitely
lose the opportunity to cooperate.
While Angus didn't show the bidding to the public, he just put away all the bidders and read them one
by one, which was a big trap in itself.
Actually, he didn't care about the bidding price, but the background of the company. Because generally,
the company had a strong background and the bidding price wouldn't be lower than that of other
companies.
In the following time, it was receiving the bidding book in everyone's hands.
No one dared to oppose to such a large loophole in the bidding, so everyone obediently handed it to
these people!
Soon, Andrew's bid was received. He took it out and handed it to the other party without hesitation. Lily
wanted to stop it, but she couldn't show it too clearly in front of so many people. Therefore, she could
only watch it take it away.
After everyone's bid had been received, Angus said, "Since I have received the bid, please wait here
for the next few times. My assistant and I will take the bid to the office and evaluate it one by one.
Soon, we will give you a satisfactory reply."
So, the bidding, which everyone was looking forward to, finally ended.
Right, ended, in Lily's eyes, was really done, because Angus had already identified the cooperative
partner, and the bidding was only a form.
After Angus left with a pile of bidding letters held by the staff, everyone started to wait for a long time,
and 90% of them had anxious expressions on their faces, while the remaining 10% had calm
expressions on their faces.
At the same time, Andrew, who sat beside Lily, also looked very calm. Nobody could tell what he was
thinking, as if it was a very ordinary thing for Angus to do that.
However, the frown on Lily's brows was getting more and more intense. There was no news from Eric.
Since yesterday when he said that he would go to discuss with Ellison about AF Company, as long as
there was any clue, he was informed, but since the matter had been such a progress, the so-called
cooperation agreement should be signed next, but there had been no news yet.
"Lily, I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me here. Don't wander around, okay?" Exhorted Andrew,
looking at her.
Lily nodded and said, "Okay, brother Andrew. Be quick."
"Yes." After saying that, he stood up, took his briefcase and went out of the bidding.
Lily's eyes followed the briefcase in his hand all the time. To be honest, when she heard that he was
going to the bathroom just now, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart. If he left the briefcase, she would
have a chance to do something to the things in his briefcase, but he took it, and even the last hope was
destroyed.
When she withdrew his sight, from the corner of her eyes, she found that it was Noble who had been
sitting quietly in the side seat. She thought for a while, stood up, and then bent over to sit beside him.
"Brother Noble," She called Noble gently and turned to him, "How could you have time to watch this
kind of boring trick?"
Hearing this, Noble raised the corner of his mouth. He turned to her and asked, "Since you know this is
a boring game, why do you still come to see it?"
Lily blinked her eyes and answered honestly, "I came here with someone because I was worried about
him."
"Did he attend the bidding?" Asked Noble.
"Yes." Lily nodded and lowered her voice, "I don't have evidence to prove that it's a scam. It's very
difficult to convince him to give up. So in order not to hurt him, I had to come with him."
"Haha..." Noble suddenly laughed. He looked Lily up and down with his black eyes, as if trying to see
through her. He squinted and asked in a low voice, "Little girl, how do you know it's a fraud?"
"Well..." Lily was choked by the question. She blinked. She couldn't tell him because she knew that
from the memory of her previous life?
So she chose a clever answer.
"If Eric heard you call me little girl, he would be jealous. He said that the word 'little girl' was his own
name for me."
Noble wasn't stupid. He knew she was trying to change the topic. If she didn't want to answer his
question, he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he smiled faintly, "It seems that Eric spoils you so much
that he even own the 'little girl'."
Lily smiled and gossiped in a low voice, "What are you here for, brother?"
"It's a secret,"
"Oh, no secrets. We are not strangers. Just tell me." Lily continued.
"Then tell me, how did you know that they were lying?" Taking a glance at her, Noble asked slowly.
Well, failed in getting the secret. Lily lowered her head and then took a breath. She looked up at him
and said, "I'll go back first, or else Andrew won't be able to find me when he comes back."
"Yes." Noble answered softly, watching her bending down and returning to her previous position.
In Lily's opinion, the busy man must have come here to watch this kind of boring game for something
else, but he did not reveal anything. If she really told him that it is a scam based on the memories of
previous lives, he was expected to look at her with 'you have a neurosis'.
No news from Eric. She tried to get some information from Noble but it was in vain. She realized that
she had to take actions first!
Soon, Andrew came back from the bathroom, with his briefcase in his hand and almost all the time.
