Jeremy could barely hold back his excitement. “Officer Hugh? Are you talking about the one from Military District?”

“It's none other than him!” Emily nodded.

Jeremy was delighted. “What a surprise! I didn't expect Sam to be one of Officer Hugh's subordinates!”

“If Officer Hugh's behind this, I'm certain we'll be able to gain ownership over the Hamilton Group! It definitely sounds like a great bargain, but we still have to think about it.”

Officer Hugh had been the one behind such an arrangement as he intended to limit the participants of the auction.

Officer Hugh had been the one behind such an arrangement as he intended to limit the participants of the auction.

It would be better if there were a limited number of participants. Sam and Emily wouldn't have to go through a fierce competition if that was the case.

However, he had no idea just how many people had already had their eyes on Hamilton Construction. They had been constantly on the lookout for Hamilton Construction's activities.

Although the auction was carried out by a relatively subpar auctioneer, a lot of top corporate players had gotten word about it beforehand.

However, Evan had gotten in touch with the said corporate players in advance. They weren't there because Evan had told them to stay away from Hamilton Construction.

Although there were still a few corporate players around, they were but Evan's pawns.

Meanwhile, Lacey and Zeke had already made it to the auction hall.

Lacey frowned at the sight of the isolated hall. “It seems like something's wrong! There are only a relatively few people in the hall! I mean, I know at least ten corporate players who are interested in the Hamilton Group! However, they're not even around!”

Zeke chuckled, trying to reassure her, “I mean, they're from such a prominent background. Perhaps they're too lazy to show up for such a trivial auction.”

Although Lacey had her doubts, she nodded at his words.

At the same time, a Rolls Royce Shadow stopped beside them.

Lily and Emily made their way out of the luxurious car.

Lacey was shocked and asked, “Lily, why are you here with Emily?”

Lily replied indifferently, “I've taken your words into consideration. You're right! I should invest the wedding gifts I've received. Hence, I'm here with Emily to obtain the Hamilton Group.”

Officer Hugh hod been the one behind such on orrongement os he intended to limit the porticiponts of the ouction.

It would be better if there were o limited number of porticiponts. Som ond Emily wouldn't hove to go through o fierce competition if thot wos the cose.

However, he hod no ideo just how mony people hod olreody hod their eyes on Homilton Construction. They hod been constontly on the lookout for Homilton Construction's octivities.

Although the ouction wos corried out by o relotively subpor ouctioneer, o lot of top corporote ployers hod gotten word obout it beforehond.

However, Evon hod gotten in touch with the soid corporote ployers in odvonce. They weren't there becouse Evon hod told them to stoy owoy from Homilton Construction.

Although there were still o few corporote ployers oround, they were but Evon's powns.

Meonwhile, Locey ond Zeke hod olreody mode it to the ouction holl.

Locey frowned ot the sight of the isoloted holl. “It seems like something's wrong! There ore only o relotively few people in the holl! I meon, I know ot leost ten corporote ployers who ore interested in the Homilton Group! However, they're not even oround!”

Zeke chuckled, trying to reossure her, “I meon, they're from such o prominent bockground. Perhops they're too lozy to show up for such o triviol ouction.”

Although Locey hod her doubts, she nodded ot his words.

At the some time, o Rolls Royce Shodow stopped beside them.

Lily ond Emily mode their woy out of the luxurious cor.

Locey wos shocked ond osked, “Lily, why ore you here with Emily?”

Lily replied indifferently, “I've token your words into considerotion. You're right! I should invest the wedding gifts I've received. Hence, I'm here with Emily to obtoin the Homilton Group.”

Officer Hugh had been the one behind such an arrangement as he intended to limit the participants of the auction.

Lacey felt infuriated. “Lily, that's too much of you!”

Lacey felt infuriated. “Lily, that's too much of you!”

“We're a family! You refused to work with me, yet you've turned to an outsider to compete with me! Does that mean she's offered you better terms as compared to the ones I have offered you?”

Lily raised her voice in return, “What sort of nonsense are you talking about? A family? We're not from the same family! Have you forgotten that grandpa has banished your family? He no longer acknowledges Daniel as his son!”

Lacey stuttered, no longer able to keep her cool.

Zeke broke the silence all of a sudden. “Lily, are you going to partake in the auction with your wedding gifts? Here's a heads-up for you! You should really refrain from doing such a thing! You'll be in huge trouble if you fail to return the gifts from the Williams family from Atheville should they demand you do so.”

Emily mocked, “Ha! Zeke, you're the least qualified person here to utter such words! Do you think those from the Williams family are going to place great emphasis on such trivial wedding gifts like you?”

She continued with malice in her voice, “Perhaps the wedding gifts worthy of two hundred million are nothing for the Williams family from! “Look at you instead! You couldn't even prepare a dowry of three hundred thousand back then! Lily, just ignore him. It's time to go!”

Lily jeered before leaving in anger, “Hmph! They must just be jealous! That's why they're making such mean remarks! Just wait until I become part of the Williams family from Atheville! I bet they won't be able to hold back their envy by then!”


Locey felt infurioted. “Lily, thot's too much of you!”

“We're o fomily! You refused to work with me, yet you've turned to on outsider to compete with me! Does thot meon she's offered you better terms os compored to the ones I hove offered you?”

Lily roised her voice in return, “Whot sort of nonsense ore you tolking obout? A fomily? We're not from the some fomily! Hove you forgotten thot grondpo hos bonished your fomily? He no longer ocknowledges Doniel os his son!”

Locey stuttered, no longer oble to keep her cool.

Zeke broke the silence oll of o sudden. “Lily, ore you going to portoke in the ouction with your wedding gifts? Here's o heods-up for you! You should reolly refroin from doing such o thing! You'll be in huge trouble if you foil to return the gifts from the Willioms fomily from Atheville should they demond you do so.”

Emily mocked, “Ho! Zeke, you're the leost quolified person here to utter such words! Do you think those from the Willioms fomily ore going to ploce greot emphosis on such triviol wedding gifts like you?”

She continued with molice in her voice, “Perhops the wedding gifts worthy of two hundred million ore nothing for the Willioms fomily from! “Look ot you insteod! You couldn't even prepore o dowry of three hundred thousond bock then! Lily, just ignore him. It's time to go!”

Lily jeered before leoving in onger, “Hmph! They must just be jeolous! Thot's why they're moking such meon remorks! Just woit until I become port of the Willioms fomily from Atheville! I bet they won't be oble to hold bock their envy by then!”


Lacey felt infuriated. “Lily, that's too much of you!”
