11 billion!
The audience was in an uproar once again!
Whispers filled the room, “My God, 11 billion!”
“This is the highest bid ever in the Vista Verde bidding event!”
“I wonder if the Wyatt family will counter with a bid of 12 billion?”
All eyes turned to James.
James, Liam, and David had expressions of sheer disbelief painted across their faces.
It was evident they hadn’t expected Graham to raise the bid yet again.
Il billion was a sum that even the combined treasuries of their three powerful families couldn’t bear.
Without the financial backing of powerful families like the Macy, Bates, and Jenson families, and no indication of siphoning such a colossal amount from the stock market, how could Graham possibly have access to 11 billion?
Indeed, James had previously scrutinized the stock transactions of the Horizon Group. Not only had their stock remained stable in the past ten days, but there were also no signs of liquidating assets.
To James, Liam, and David, it seemed impossible that Graham had 11 billion at his disposal.
They believed he was merely driving up the bid, hoping to make the Wyatt family pay an exorbitant cost, even if they secured the project.
After exchanging glances, the trio seemed to have silently reached a decision not to continue the bidding.
After all, they couldn’t produce an amount greater than 11 billion.
They would bow out and let Graham deal with the consequences of his lofty bid.
“The Horizon Group’s bid of 11 billion for the first time!” The auctioneer, pointing in Graham’s direction, announced to the room.
“The Horizon Group’s bid of 11 billion for the second time!”

“And the third time! Sold to the Horizon Group for 11 billion!”
With the announcement of “Sold!“, the auctioneer raised the gavel and struck it decisively on the podium.
The deal was sealed!
“Congratulations to the Vista Verde for successfully winning the bid for Vista Verde’s new CBD project! Let’s give a round of applause to the Chairman of the Horizon Group, Graham!”
The auctioneer began clapping, setting the example for the audience.
As the applause from the auctioneer rang out, it slowly dawned on the audience- the Horizon Group had secured the new CBD project!
The Wyatt Group, the top real estate enterprise in Vista Verde, had been bested by the second– ranking Horizon Group.
Such an outcome was indeed unexpected.
However, as the reality sank in, the attendees joined in the applause, congratulating the Field family on their successful bid.
From the audience, James, Liam, and David, although not on the winning side, had a cold and triumphant glint in their eyes.
If Graham didn’t transfer the 11 billion within twenty–four hours, the Horizon Group would be accused of sham bidding, facing severe legal consequences. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The bidding event concluded.
As the guests started to rise from their seats, about a dozen police officers entered the hall.
The unexpected appearance of law enforcement raised eyebrows. Why would there be police at a bidding event?
The trio – James, Liam, and David – almost simultaneously came to the same conclusion. Could the event organizers have suspected an issue with Graham’s funds and reported it?
Though, typically, even if the organizers had alerted the police, they wouldn’t have arrived so quickly.
However, James knew there was a police station right next to the convention center, so their rapid response wasn’t entirely surprising.

James thought snugly, “Graham, you probably never imagined that right after winning the bid, you’d be taken to the police station, did you?”
He eagerly awaited the moment Graham would be humiliated in front of the crowd.
As the police officers approached, they seemed to be heading straight for him.
They stopped right in front of James. The imposing officer in the lead, with a stern and upright demeanor, saluted James.
“Mr. Wyatt, greetings! I am Deputy Superintendent from the Convention Center Police Station. We have compelling evidence suggesting your involvement in a murder case. We’d like you to come with us to the station.”
James‘ face turned ashen in an instant, drained of all color.
Clink!
Before he could even process what was happening, one of the officers slapped handcuffs on him.
Two officers gripped his arms on either side and began to lead a shell–shocked James out of
the hall.
The entire venue fell silent, with everyone dumbstruck by the unfolding scene.
It wasn’t until James had been escorted out by the police that the crowd snapped back to reality.
“Oh my god!”
“James was involved in a murder?”
“This is explosive news!”
The murmurs grew louder and more intense.
Liam and David were equally stunned, their faces a mask of shock.
The last thing they expected was for James to be implicated in a murder.
It was utterly sensational!
Graham, Helene, and other top executives of the Field Group were also taken aback.

Winning the new CBD project and defeating the Wyatt family had already been a huge victory for them.
But this unexpected turn of events was the cherry on top.
Right after the bidding conference concluded, James, the Chairman of the Wyatt Group, was taken away by the police for his involvement in a murder case.
The twist was nothing short of dramatic.
At this point, the staff from the bidding organization cordially invited Graham and his team to complete the subsequent bidding procedures.
Graham, Gilmore, and the others promptly followed them out…
That day, every major news outlet, television station, and online platform in Vista Verde was flooded with headlines about the Horizon Group’s successful bid for the CBD project.
In addition to that, there was another headline: James of the Wyatt Group was taken away by the police at the bidding conference due to his alleged involvement in a murder case,
These two pieces of news shook the entire Vista Verde.
One was a piece of joyous news while the other was a troubling revelation.
Night fell.
In a villa in Vista Verde.
Gilmore entered the living room of the villa where he was greeted by Maxwell and his family, who immediately rose from their seats, addressing him reverently, “Savior, you’ve arrived!”
Gilmore smiled warmly, “Please, sit down. No need for formalities.”
Maxwell and his family nodded in acknowledgment and settled back into their seats.
“Gee, how do you feel today? Do your knee and ankle joints still hurt?” Gilmore asked, looking at the frail son of Maxwell.
Gee shook his head, “Savior, ever since you performed dry needling on me last night, the pain has disappeared.”
Indeed, the previous night after Gilmore rescued Gee and his mother from a villa where they had been held captive, he had rented another villa for them to stay.

Using his anima, Gilmore had treated Gee’s congenital rheumatoid arthritis with dry needling, alleviating the pain that had tormented the boy for over a decade.
Because Gilmore had saved Maxwell’s family and cured Gee’s ailment, Maxwell handed over the evidence he had regarding James‘ involvement in the murder to the Convention Center Police
Station.
This explained why the police had shown up at the bidding conference to arrest James.
“Savior, I saw on the TV how James was taken away by the police. That wicked man finally got what he deserved!” Maxwell exclaimed, as if a weight had been lifted off his chest.
Gilmore nodded in agreement, “Indeed, karma is real.”
