He had spent an immense fortune, and yet...

Finley had revealed that only 6.6 billion was needed to win the bid.

Noah felt as if he were about to choke on his frustration. Was Samantha playing a cruel joke on him? Or, even worse, was she deliberately setting him up?

This is absurd, Samantha!

No, he had to confront Samantha and get to the truth of this baffling situation.

After securing the bid, no one expressed the slightest envy towards Noah. After all, with 50 billion, one could easily acquire land to establish an amusement park. Yet, this fool, Noah, had squandered fifty billion on bidding for the Dean Corporation's plot. Even if the amusement park were eventually completed, there was no way he could ever recover that astronomical amount.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Moreover, once a bid was successful, it was unchangeable.

Noah was truly a spendthrift. Wasn't it glaringly obvious that he was driving the Hunter Corporation to the brink of bankruptcy?

Nearby, other bidders were openly mocking him, but Noah was too agitated to engage in their derision. Instead, he dashed out, seized Samantha just as she was about to enter a car, and pulled her aside.

"Samantha, we need to talk."

Samantha regarded Noah with a frosty demeanor. "Noah, Finley is here watching us: I believe we should maintain some distance."

Noah gripped Samantha's arm firmly and directed his gaze at Finley. "Mr. Dean, Samantha is my fiancee. Although we are estranged now, I have always considered her my sister since childhood. Now that I have the chance to see her, I would like to have a word. Surely, you have no objections, do you?"

Finley remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Samantha.

"Sam, do you wish to speak with him?"

Samantha considered the situation. She knew she would have to face Noah eventually, so if today presented the opportunity, she might as well address it now.

"Finley, since Noah is so insistent on catching up, I'll have a cup of coffee with him."

Finley nodded. "Alright, I'll pick you up in half an hour.

With that, he got into his car, allowing Samantha to accompany Noah. Meanwhile, Edmond, who was in the driver's seat, could not help but ask, "Why did you allow Mrs. Dean to leave with Noah? Aren't you uncomfortable with her being alone with him?"

"She needs her freedom. Besides, she is a person, not a possession. I have no right to confine her to my side constantly and restrict her freedom. Whatever she chooses to do is up to her. As long as after she has done what she needs to do, she returns to me-that is sufficient."

Edmond, after hearing Finley's response, couldn't shake the feeling that their boss harbored a deeply humble love for Mrs. Dean. In matters of love, it was often the one who appeared the most humble and who held the deepest affection.

After Finley departed, Samantha and Noah found a nearby café and settled into a quiet corner. They had barely taken their seats, and Samantha hadn't even had a chance to place an order when Noah's icy tone cut through the air. "Samantha, what is the meaning of this? Be honest with me. Did you know from the beginning that Finley's bid was only 6.6 billion?"

Samantha shook her head, her eyes wide with genuine surprise. "No, I only knew that Finley's initial bid was fifty billion. As for why it suddenly dropped to 6.6 billion, I am just as astonished as you are. Didn't you notice how shocked I was when Finley announced the bid was that amount?"
