All eyes were fixed on the representatives of Divine Corporation. After all, only the Nacht group would be capable of competing with Lindberg Corporation.
Lucy quickly returned to her senses and whispered into Johann’s ear, “Mr. Nacht instructed us not to bid any higher than two hundred and sixty billion. Shall we consult with him?”
“Understood.” Lucy immediately strode off to a corner and dialed Zachary’s number.
Everyone at the scene anticipated the Nacht Group’s next move, but the young lady from Lindberg Corporation seemed rather impatient. Raising her eyebrows, she made a bold statement, “What? Are we giving them time to hold an emergency meeting?”
“Well…” The auctioneer turned to look at the organizer of the auction.
The organizer smiled awkwardly and explained, “That’s not the case…” But he trailed off as he met the young lady’s cold, piercing stare.
“According to the standard protocol, the longest we can wait is sixty seconds,” the organizer of the auction quickly added.
The imposing young lady then did a gesture.
Immediately, the organizer gave his response, “The countdown starts now!”
“Okay.” With that, a digital timer appeared on the projector screen.
Concurrently, the auctioneer announced, “Lindberg Corporation offers three hundred billion. Any other bidders?”
No one in the room dared make a bid. Some even kept their paddles and made themselves comfortable in their seats as they waited to watch the final showdown.
Meanwhile, Johann sneaked a few glances at the lady from Lindberg Corporation. Her face was the same as that of Charlotte years ago, but the aura she exuded was completely different.
The domineering and haughty demeanor she had displayed previously could not have been done by Charlotte, the good-willed but clumsy girl.
So who the hell is she?
While Lucy watched the digital timer intently, she felt increasingly anxious as each second ticked by. “Mr. Nacht, please answer the phone… Please answer the phone!” She mumbled to herself.
On the other hand, the charismatic lady from Lindberg Corporation simply sat on the sofa and twirled her wine glass with grace as she waited for the last thirty seconds to tick by.
