The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Chapter 3925

Everyone was busy speculating the true identities of Number 35 Number 99.

Meanwhile, Number 16, Bernard, had collapsed from his overwhelming emotions.

On paper, he had the highest net worth amongst the guestlist for the night. However, he didn't expect to be eliminated from the competition for the last Rejuvenating Pill within the first few minutes. His despair and regret led him into an immediate mental breakdown.

If only he had known that this would happen! He would've offered up to fifty billion for the last quarter bill in the previous auction rather than wait until the last auction, where he was eliminated after a few bids. Kathleen, who was in the private room, was completely stunned by the turn of events. She couldn't see Carlson's face, but from the man's tone, one hundred and ten billion US dollars seemed to mean nothing to him. Under the current circumstances, it might be difficult for her grandfather to win the Rejuvenating Pill.

Kathleen wasn't the only one surprised. Charlie was just as astonished.

He had some suspicions about Number 99 earlier on, particularly concerning Carlson Hobbs's background. He had predicted that Carlson might have a strong background, and his assumption turned out correct. Charlie's curiosity regarding Carlson's real identity grew ever more.

Back in the auction hall. Jordan refused to give up and raised his hand again. "One hundred and twenty billion!"

He had long understood how the auction worked, especially by how it deliberately gathered a group of dying rich men in one room. The final price for the pill would surely skyrocket and exceed everyone's expectations, precisely because of the participants' desire to survive. It seemed the winning bid would soon exceed one hundred billion.

In that case, he would have to raise his stakes to achieve complete victory. Jordan was determined and would never give up, no matter what happened. If he chose to give up, that would mean giving up life and choosing death.

this moment, he had finally encountered a competitor who would raise the bid not less than ten billion
