Chapter 1057: Participating in the Auction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the entrance of the DC Hotel, Regina apologized to Cheyenne in hopes that she would help her one last time. But unfortunately, Cheyenne had already seen her true colors and refused to help her.

Seeing Cheyenne completely vanish into the DC Hotel, Regina was incredibly panic-stricken.

“You greedy idiots! Ms. Carter was kind enough to plead for you two, but you were still so ungrateful. You took a mile when you were given an inch. Now, it’s all over!” Rayson sneered and ordered the two bodyguards behind him, “Break the limbs of these fools and then get their family to take them away! I don’t want to see these two people getting in Mr. Gray’s way again after tomorrow. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, Mr. Williams!” The two bodyguards immediately accepted the orders and walked toward Nicholas and Regina, who were kneeling on the ground, scared out of their wits.

“No, please! Mr. Williams, we know our mistakes now! We’ll stop being greedy and do as you said before. Regina and I will leave DC right now, and we will never come back!”

!!

“Yes, we’ll leave right now. Your men don’t have to do anything!”

Both Nicholas and Regina were scared to death. They frantically got up and wanted to leave.

“Hah, now you regret making so many requests? It’s too late!” Rayson said coldly and then glanced at the bodyguards beside him.

“Ah!”

“Waahhh!”

Several miserable screams came from the entrance of the DC Hotel.

But the two of them were already destined to be doomed.

On the other side, the auction had already started when Lucas and Cheyenne entered the auction venue due to the delay just now. Even a beautiful auctioneer with a voluptuous figure had already walked onto the auction stage.

“Lucas, here!” The eyes of the anxious-looking Flynn immediately lit up upon seeing Lucas. He got up from his seat and waved his hand.

When Lucas and Cheyenne came over, Flynn greeted, “Cheyenne, you’re here too.”

Cheyenne greeted Flynn back. “It’s been a while, Flynn.”

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Cheyenne last saw Flynn.

When Cheyenne was still living with the Carters, she had to interact with Flynn, the general manager of the Stardust Corporation, several times in order to build a relationship with him to get the Stardust Corporation to let the Carters off.

But at the time, Flynn’s status was much greater than the Carters’.

Now, Flynn was extremely respectful to her.

Cheyenne sighed, knowing that all these changes were because of the man beside her!

“Dear guests, welcome to today’s auction. I’m Carrie, the auctioneer for today…”

At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage had already picked up the microphone, introduced herself, and announced the official start of the auction.

Looking at the map projected on the large screen, the auctioneer began to introduce in detail the first plot of land to be auctioned today.

Lucas wasn’t interested in this plot of land. The plot in the eastern suburbs of DC that he wanted was the finale of today’s auction, so it should appear later.

“Are you here to get a plot of land too?” Lucas asked Cheyenne.

If she wasn’t interested in a plot of land, she probably wouldn’t have appeared here or faced Regina’s mockery for not having an invitation card.

Cheyenne nodded. “I heard about the land auction at an exchange meeting this morning. I thought that since I’m planning to expand the Brilliance Corporation to DC, it would be better to buy a plot of land and use it as the cornerstone of the Brilliance Corporation’s development in DC.”

The Brilliance Corporation’s main business was related to real estate development, so it would indeed be best to buy some land and then work on it from there to expand the company’s market to DC.

Lucas nodded approvingly. “That’s good. But I must buy the plot of land in the eastern suburbs. You can pick the one closest to it. Land No. 15 on this map has a good land area and location. It’s also the one closest to the plot in the eastern suburbs.”

There was a beautiful auction catalog with a map on it sitting on the table in front of them, which marked the general location and size of the plots of land for auction today.

Although Cheyenne didn’t ask Lucas what he wanted to do with the large plot of land in the eastern suburbs, she knew that he was definitely planning something big, and his suggestion would surely be of great benefit to her and the Brilliance Corporation.

“Alright.” Cheyenne nodded, silently deciding to bid for Land No. 15.

Time passed quickly amid the auctioneer’s introduction and the endless bidding. Several plots of land were auctioned off successfully.

“Alright, we’re going to start bidding for Land No. 15 next! I’ve already introduced the land area and location just now, so let’s start bidding right away!

“The starting price is one hundred million dollars, and every subsequent bid will increase by at least a hundred thousand dollars. Bidding begins now!” the beautiful auctioneer shouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone below the stage immediately bid. “I bid a hundred and ten million dollars!”

The first offer was already 10 million dollars higher than the starting price.

“115 million!”

“120 million!”

“125 million!”

“130 million!”

The price of the land soared to 150 million dollars in just a minute.

But after passing the 150 million mark, the number of people bidding obviously began to decrease.

The price had increased by such a large amount within such a short period of time.

One hundred and fifty million dollars was a huge sum of money for most families.

So after reaching the 150-million-dollar mark, all the bids were made carefully.

“Okay, the highest bidder is now the Steele Corporation, with a bid of a hundred and fifty million dollars! Are there any higher bids?” The auctioneer’s high-pitched voice resounded throughout the room.

“What? The highest bidder just now was from the Steele Corporation?”

“The Steele Corporation belongs to the Steeles, who are one of the eight most powerful families in DC. Since they’ve bid so much, how can we compete with them?”

“Forget it. With the Steeles here, I’d better pass and consider another plot of land.”

Many people in the auction hall whispered and gave up bidding for Land No. 15 against the Steeles.

“The current highest bidding price for Land No. 15 is 150 million dollars! Is there any higher bid?

“150 million dollars, going once!”

“150 million dollars, going twice!”

“150 million dollars…”Continue read on our website:ReadNovelFull.com

Just as the auctioneer appeared a little disappointed and was about to raise the gavel, a sweet female voice suddenly sounded in the venue.

“151 million dollars!”

The very moment before the auctioneer was about to lower the gavel, Cheyenne finally bit her lower lip and participated in the auction!
