LOGINIsaac smiled."Everyone knows Amaze Construction operates in real estate. Cosmos No. 2 is attractive, but it may not suit me. However…" He turned to Dominic. "I may not have much else, but I do have money. Mr. Fleming, keep bidding. If it's not enough, I'll cover the rest."At this, Dominic exhaled in relief. Gratitude showed in his eyes as he called out, "1.05 billion dollars!"Elijah's expression darkened. "Mr. Moore, as far as I know, JewelMed's debt is already as high as 1 billion dollars. If you lend money now, aren't you afraid it will all go to waste?"Isaac shook his head. "That's my business. It has nothing to do with you."Dominic smiled and echoed Elijah's earlier words. "Mr. Grant getting anxious? If you don't have money, why are you here?"Elijah snorted and fell silent, turning his focus to strategy.The price had reached 1.05 billion dollars. At this level, the host fell quiet, allowing time for consideration.After a long pause, Elijah spoke calmly. "1.1 billion
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone impatiently called out a bid."90,000,000 dollars!"Before the host could respond, Dominic spoke in a deep voice. "500,000,000 dollars."The entire venue erupted.Nearly 200 companies were present, and most had total valuations below 200,000,000 dollars. Dominic's opening bid of 500,000,000 stunned the crowd.However, those seated in the first two rows showed no change in expression. They understood the value of Cosmos No. 2.The host immediately grew animated. "Mr. Fleming of the JewelMed Group bids 500,000,000 dollars! It seems he is extremely optimistic about the prospects of Cosmos No. 2!"The atmosphere grew lively as quiet discussions spread through the room.Less than half a minute later, another voice entered the bidding.Stephen spoke calmly. "600,000,000 dollars."Dominic stiffened and turned sharply toward him, but Stephen only offered a faint, composed smile.Dominic frowned.Elijah, seated beside him, observed ever
Benjamin, however, wore a look of satisfaction as he said, "Speaking of which, you've taken care of Isabella for many years. I should thank you. If you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal, Mr. Fleming."His tone was polite and courteous, yet Dominic still sensed a hint of provocation.At that moment, Isabella spoke. "Let's go."Benjamin quickly said, "I was—"Before he could finish, she turned and walked away. He had no choice but to follow.Dominic watched their retreating figures, deep in thought. 'Are those matters… really Benjamin's doing?'After a moment's thought, he sent Isabella a text.Dominic: [Let's meet later. Let's talk somewhere.]Isabella and Benjamin had already reached an empty table and taken their seats.Although the Skyline City branch of the Anderson Group was not qualified to participate in the bidding, it had no trouble securing a seat.At that moment, Isabella's phone vibrated. She glanced at it.Seeing this, Benjamin immediately asked, "Isabel
"Dominic!" Jewel called out to him.Jessica pouted and slipped out of his arms.'He's already with Katherine, and still…' Jewel cast Jessica a strange look. 'Men really do change once they have money.'She pretended not to notice anything, walked over, and sat beside Dominic. Clearing her throat lightly, she asked, "When did you get here?"Dominic smiled. "Not long ago."Inside the venue, the first row was arranged with one company per round table. Behind it, two or three companies usually shared each table. The setup was not due to a lack of space but was meant to highlight the special status of the first row. It was also a matter of traditional social etiquette in the country."There are still 20 minutes before it starts," Dominic said, glancing at the time.Jewel nodded and asked quietly, "Do we have a good chance this time? We only have 1 billion dollars, and I heard the starting price is already 80,000,000 dollars."Dominic replied vaguely, "I'll handle the bidding. As for
At that moment, Isaac spotted Dominic and waved in greeting. "Dominic!"Dominic nodded with a smile.Stephen saw him as well but said nothing, offering only a faint nod.Not far away, Elijah was chatting with a man. At the sound of Isaac's voice, both of them turned to look.The man said casually, "So that's Dominic, the chairman of JewelMed?"His voice was not loud, yet Dominic heard it clearly, and the tone was far from friendly.Elijah let out a cold laugh. "That's him."The man sneered, "A newly started company riding a wave of opportunity, and they get to sit in the same row as us? Cosmos Laboratory must have messed up the seating arrangement."He spoke without restraint, openly mocking Dominic alongside Elijah.Dominic remained calm. Anyone standing with Elijah was no friend of his.But the fiery woman beside him could not tolerate it. She walked over at once and said coldly, "Which idiot forgot to tie their pants tight and let you out?"The man froze, then his express
Dominic returned to the company and issued instructions to the finance department.At the same time, he asked Daniel to contact Abigail and have her go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.From his perspective, that was all he could do. Kenny's situation was a family matter, and it would not be appropriate for him to interfere. If he compared it to his own experience, if he had argued with Isabella in the past and someone like Alexander had suddenly stepped in to stop it, that would have felt intrusive.After resting in the office for a while, the workday ended before he realized it. Dominic left with Katherine to pick up Lilith.…The next few days passed peacefully until December 20.It was Saturday, so Lilith did not need to go to school. Dominic woke after 8:00 a.m. and went to Katherine's room to check on them.Katherine was already awake. She glanced at Lilith, who was sleeping soundly with her butt in the air.Lowering her voice, she said, "Dominic, since i
Isabella took a deep breath and forced the blood rushing to her head back down. She gnashed her teeth. "Autumn, did you fall into a cesspit? Why is your mouth full of crap?"Autumn froze. Her expression changed, flushing blue before draining pale. This time, Isabella had struck her weak spot dead-o
"Dinner's ready." Dominic brought the dishes out, said only that to the two women on the sofa, then went to call Lilith.His footsteps were light. He stopped behind the girl and saw her gripping a mechanical pencil, clicking it over and over.When he noticed her exercise book, his face darkened, a
Tom secretly swore that he would never wrong his wife again, but that resolve lasted only until evening. He leaned back against the sofa and checked his phone. A few photos had come in from someone. His eyes lit up at once.At the same time, Leona brought over hot water and gently washed his feet.
"Alright." Dominic took the form and filled it out with care.Five minutes later, he handed the resume back. "Done."George glanced over it and let out a light chuckle. "Thirty years old, no work experience, heh…"Hearing the open mockery, Dominic frowned slightly, but he understood it. A man who
