Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 407

Scarlett's POV:

The bidding war for the land on the east bank was more intense than I had anticipated.

Soon, the price of the land climbed to one billion and two hundred million dollars. It was getting closer and closer to my target price.

Buying this land was harder than I had imagined.

I observed the crowd. Because the bid was exorbitant, only a few big shots remained.

A few moments later, the bid went up to one billion and three hundred million dollars. With the price this high, everyone conceded, except Charles, Adam, and me.

With the paddle in his hand, Simon moved closer and whispered in my ear, "Caroline, what should we do now? The price is rising too fast." "There's nothing to be worried about. Just continue raising the paddle. I have a plan."

I had anticipated this. As long as the price of the land was no more than two billion dollars, I would surely manage it.

A few minutes later, the price reached one billion and six hundred million dollars.

Adam had no choice but to put down his paddle and admit defeat. Sadly for him, he could only glare at me across the audience. He looked as though he was going to eat me alive. How pathetic.

Now, I only had one competitor left—Charles.

His bidding price was close to mine. At this moment, the price had risen to one billion and eight hundred million dollars. Nevertheless, Charles was still unwilling to give up. I must admit, I was starting to get nervous.

Two billion was my limit. Truthfully speaking, I would have already gotten what I wanted if it were not for Charles.

Now, I was left with no choice but to use my trump card.

"Simon, give me the paddle."

Simon was taken aback, but he still did what I had asked.

"One billion and eight hundred and ten million," I confidently said.

As soon as I said these words, I turned around and smiled sweetly at Charles.

Charles's POV:

Unexpectedly, Scarlett smiled at me. Her bright smile made my heart flutter.

Countless women had smiled at me in my entire life, but none of them could make me go weak like Scarlett. In my eyes, all the good things in the world were nothing compared to her smile.

Even though I had the means to top her bid, I glanced at Richard and shook my head.

"Let it go."

I admitted defeat.

What Scarlett had done had me smitten. Honestly speaking, she could conquer the world with that charming smile of hers.

"One billion and eight hundred and ten million dollars. Going once... going twice... Sold! Everyone, let's give the Wilson Group a round of applause! Congratulations!"

The host banged on the gavel and congratulated the Wilson Group for winning the bid on the land on the east bank.

The crowd burst into an uproar as soon as the host finished speaking.

"Oh my God! The woman who won the bid is the daughter of the Wilson family, right?" an audience asked in disbelief.

"Wow. The Wilson Group is rolling in money," another remarked.

Under everyone's gazes, Scarlett and Simon stood up, arm in arm.

"Look. Who's the man standing next to Miss Wilson?"

"I think he's the heir of the Felix family—Simon Felix."

"The Wilson and the Felix family have been friends for generations. They're a perfect match. It looks like they'll soon unite the two of the most powerful companies in the business world." Having a good hearing was both a blessing and a curse. I could not help but stare at Scarlett and the man next to her as the audience's whispers came to my ears.

I wished I could rush toward them, separate them, and hold Scarlett in my arms. Then, while she was in my tight embrace, I would announce to the whole world that she belonged to me.
