Seraphina suddenly remembered her conversation with Oliviast night.
She quickly introduced the neer.
"Hansen, this is Jennifer Perez, the president of Perez Group."
They used to be college ssmates. Hansen could be so unreliable sometimes.
Hansen finally realized their connection and offered a polite smile.
"Jennifer? I remember now. You''ve be so lovely that I didn''t recognize you."
Jennifer''s stiff expression softened noticeably
Seraphina silently exhaled in relief.
Sweet talk does have its advantages.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
Thomas sat next to Seraphina. He was busy tapping away on his phone and sending emails.
Everyone was here for this prime piece ofnd, with the same goal in mind.
As soon as the bidding started, the initial offer was 500 million.
Seraphina and Orion sat outside. Jennifer remained quiet, too.
The price climbed rapidly.
It reached 2 billion in no time.
More than half of the bidders had already dropped out.
Jenner raised her paddle. "2.5 billion!"
After a moment of silence, the auctioneer called for the second round of bids.
There was no movement from Ken.
Seraphina found this odd.
Orion shouldn''t give up so easily.
Without overthinking it, she signaled Thomas to raise their bid.
"2.8 billion!"
Jennifer followed quickly. "3 billion!"
Jennifer''s influence was primarily in go; she shouldn''t be so interested in thisnd.

As Seraphina was pondering this, Thomas sent her a text message.
"Jennifer and Orion have formed an alliance."
No wonder!
If that''s the case, then their coboration gives them a better chance of winning.
Seraphina maintained her graceful smile.
Inside, she felt a tinge of worry.
Perhaps this trip would end in failure.
Despite this, Seraphina wasn''t willing to give up so easily.
She signaled for Thomas to continue.
"4.5 billion."
The room fell silent.
The real bidding war had just begun.
Only those with the confidence to win were now in the running.
Jennifer nced in Seraphina''s direction. Her eyes were sharp and burning.
Without hesitation, she raised her paddle again.
""4.8 billion."
Any higher, and they''d be nearing Seraphina''s limit.

Even though the Crosses could afford it, buying thisnd wouldn''t yield much profit for decades. It wasn''t worth the investment. After a brief moment of consideration, she nodded at Thomas.
""4.9 billion."
This was their final offer.
Jennifer clearly began to waver.
Seraphina immediately understood that the reserve price must be around that figure.
She nced sideways.
Jennifer exchanged a few words with Ken in a low voice, and then Ken started texting someone.
No need to guess it must be Orion.
"4.9 billion, going twice-"

Jennifer raised her paddle again, her expression tense.
"4.95 billion-"
Seraphina lowered her gaze slightly, deciding not to push further.
A losing deal wasn''t worth it.
Jennifer was visibly rxed.
Just as the auctioneer was about to finalize the sale, Hansen suddenly spoke up.
"5 billion-
The room buzzed with surprise.
Seraphina stared at him in disbelief.
"Are you insane?"
Hansen smirked but remained silent.
Jennifer was momentarily stunned. She was clearly shocked by Hansen''s bid.
5 billion was beyond what Jennifer and Orion had anticipated.
"5 billion, going once"
"5 billion, going twice-"
5 billion, going three times-sold to Mr. Colombo!"
The room erupted in apuse.
Thend had been given to the Colombos.
Hansen stood up with effortless grace. He waved to the crowd and walked up to finalize the deal.
Seraphina exchanged a look with Thomas.
The oue was clear, and it had taken everyone by surprise.
The usually low-key, upetitive Colombos had bid 5 billion to win thisnd.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
What on earth did Hansen n to do with it?
