introducing themselves on stage one after another, but there was a faint hint of hostility among them. However, neither Henry nor Jasper paid much attention to these people.
They had set the bait and were now waiting for the fish.
‘It’s been nearly an hour, but they’re not here yet. Could today’s plan possibly fail?’ Henry felt a little sad internally when he thought about this.
At this time, everyone had been on stage once, and if they dragged this on, they might be exposed.
“Everyone, your speeches just now were inspiring, but there is only one place today. I have selected five candidates from among you, and I ask you to make one last presentation on this project…”
Henry had no choice but to drag on like this. However, after waiting for the five candidates to finish their explanations, Henry knew that this auction had failed, and he had no reason to delay it any longer.
If they did not make a conclusion on this tender and continued to delay it, not only would the Laws’ reputation be under fire, but their purpose of hosting this auction would also be exposed, thus rousing those people’s suspicion.
“I announce that the last spot today belongs to…”
“Wait! Henry, if we didn’t come to this unusual auction today, wouldn’t it lack some drama?”
When everyone heard that, they turned their heads and saw Half the Harbor Langdon and Sawyer calmly entering the room with their people.
‘Damn, if you still hadn’t come, I don’t know how l was going to conclude this auction!’ Henry cursed in his heart, but he showed a surprised face.
“I didn’t expect to alert you two…”
Half the Harbor Langdon said with a smile, “Everyone, my speech is straightforward… The Atticus and Langdon families are interested in this business.”
As soon as he said that, Half the Harbor Langdon and Sawyer glanced at the people present. Their eyes were smiling, but they looked terrified.
