Chapter 177

This was the highest starting price of the day, primarily because the real estate company had two plots of undeveloped land. which was also the target for many attendees, including Ophelia She needed such a company to lay the foundation for her plans to develop the slum.

"Bidder Number Ten, 3 million!"

The price quickly rose to 10 million.

"16 million dollars."

The entire conference room went silent for a moment.

Ophelia was about to raise her number paddle when a man sitting diagonally from her beat her to it.

She glanced over. The man wore a deep blue plaid tailored suit, radiating an aura of authority much like Kenneth's, yet with a different vibe.

Ophelia hadn't noticed him before, but now that he had outbid her, it made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Sensing an unusual gaze, the man turned his head. His sharp profile extended to a defined jawline, with a cleft chin.

His eyes were ice blue, looking both intense and aloof, with an unsettling smirk.

Ophelia looked away and raised her paddle, saying, "16 million and 500 thousand." The man chuckled softly. "Interesting. 16 million and 600 thousand."

The man wasn't following the usual rules, so Ophelia had to raise her bid.
