Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 853

The young man gave another bid before the host could speak up. Davy panicked. He leaned into Mark’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Tremont, should we continue the bid? We’re at the estimate now. We’ll go over the budget if we do…”

Mark narrowed his eyes and nodded. Davy wiped the cold sweat off his brow and shot the troublemaker a glare. This should have been finished very fast. If this continued, they would have to wait the next round and it might end up derailing their afternoon meetings.

Unexpectedly, the opposition issued another bid, looking very calm to boot, as if he was sure to win. Mark’s heart twitched, and he suddenly changed his mind. “Give up.”

“Seriously, where did that guy come from?” Davy grumbled as they left the auction. “We’ve had our eyes on that piece of land for more than half a month, and he bought it at such a high price. Was he trying to make things difficult for us or himself? What does he want that land for anyway? It’ll take a long time before he gets any returns for his investment. What’s with that guy… Doesn’t he know how much a piece of land costs? We could have saved some of our estimated funds if we had gotten it, but he’s spoiled everything. That’s half a month’s work gone down the drain. He kept adding on to the price, as if that piece of land is his family’s graveyard!”

Mark was already in a bad mood, so he shot Davy an icy glare. Davy immediately shut his mouth. “Sorry, Mr. Tremont…”

“Find out who that is,” he ordered icily.

Davy carefully noted the man’s car plate number. “Sure thing, Mr. Tremont. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow. Shall we go back to the office?”

Mark nodded. Brian, who was in the driver’s seat, had just started the engine when the black Bentley stopped on their left. The window in the back seat winded down, showing Alejandro’s face in full view. “What a coincidence, Mr. Tremont. I never thought that you would have your eye on this piece of land too. It’s inconvenient for me to go into the venue, you see, so my driver had to represent me. I would have let you have it if I knew how much you wanted it…”
