Those people did not mind the splurge on occasion to bid on antiques, hoping to gain the branch leader’s favor. However, things turned out rather unexpectedly. Kaze let out a smug smile as the chatter went on. He had anticipated the reaction, but the response was bigger than he had expected. “Since you’re all keen, let us begin.” Kaze was pleased with the situation. Those people were eager to have dinner with him, and he knew what they were after. “The bid to have dinner with the branch leader will start at 100 million dollars,” the auctioneer said earnestly. Though the price was a little absurd, he was sure that people were willing to pay for it. It was a rare opportunity that nobody wanted to miss, so the astronomical price tag was no issue at all. If people could not handle the price, they could only blame themselves for the lack of funds. When the starting bid was announced, a brief silence followed. The crowd probably did not expect the ridiculous price, even though th

“We’re talking about a chance in a million, and you’re worried about that? Just get your head in the game.” Edgar was anxious. The last thing he wanted to do was miss out on the opportunity. All he could think about was jumping at the chance. He had already told the company’s accountant to gather the funds. He was all for the bidding war. Even if he did not succeed in the end, he would not regret giving it a shot. Nobody in their right mind would walk away from a prime opportunity right in front of them. Kaze stood on stage and watched as everybody got ready to bid. Everything was going as planned, and he was pleased. His gaze shifted to the second floor. He wondered if the people there understood what he was trying to say. He was giving them a chance to meet, and it was up to the individual to take it. He could not care less about the money. However, he was happy for them to engage in a bidding war just for a chance to see him. “Are you ready? We will begin the auction of

Darcy never counted on anyone else’s help. Even if she had to reach out for assistance, she did not want to lose her dignity. Once she lost her pride, she would be sidelined and pushed out of her livelihood. She had been around the block to know a few things. She had suffered a lot of setbacks to get to where she was today, and it was those hardships that shaped her.No matter the challenges, Darcy never considered relying on others since nothing came for free in the world. Instead, she would try to change things on her own in the face of adversity. That was why she found the whole thing absurd every time Agnes raised the question of marrying her off to a man. Men were the most unreliable. She would only find strength by counting on herself. “I don’t know if the Hanbergs will help you, but why won’t you try something good for you?” Agnes could not understand her daughter’s mindset. Still, she stuck to her guns, trying to change Darcy’s mind, hoping she would learn to depend on

“These people are probably on a similar social standing as you. They might have something else in mind to meet the branch leader,” Patrick said. “Who exactly are they? What kind of help can the branch leader offer them? They seem to be going all out,” Lyra said in displeasure. She turned to Patrick. It was a last-minute decision for Patrick to come to the auction, so he had no idea who was in the other private suites. However, only the top one percent were placed on the second floor. “I don’t know. Maybe their families have their own reasons. They might have goals to achieve.” Patrick did not want to get caught up in the middle. He would often speak, giving an outside perspective without implicating himself. “Well, aren’t you relaxed? Do you even care about me as your friend?” Lyra remarked. There was no blame in her tone, but it was clear from the look on her face that she wanted Patrick to offer help. Patrick, however, played dumb, not diving into danger. He refused to

Lyra’s arrogance put Brody in a spot. Previously, Brody would always be given special deference and respect everywhere as Bronwen’s assistant. However, the snub today was a bit jarring. Lyra turned around and looked at Patrick. Even if she did not want to give Brody the time of day, she had to show Patrick some respect and not be too harsh. Before, Lyra would not have been so civil. Her usual modus operandi would be to beat Brody up and kill him. After all, she was powerful enough not to follow certain rules. She had other things to worry about, but this man had to interrupt her thoughts and give her trouble. There was no way she would put up with the man. “This is not my concern. I’m just here for the show.” Patrick expressed his stance, preferring not to get caught up in the situation. Besides, he did not want to upset either party. Brody had no idea what was going on, but he knew what he had come for. He thought that Bronwen was up against a strong heiress, but Lyra wa
