Meanwhile, in the Lindberg residence in Erihal.
Danrique used every connection he had and switched out team after team of doctors before finding a competent team of medical experts to attend to Charlotte.
After undergoing the three-month-long treatment, the poison that ensnared Charlotte from within was finally eliminated from her body.
The only catch was that due to the side effects of the drugs used and certain psychological factors, there were severe repercussions after the treatment.
Charlotte had lost her memory.
Memories of her life after coming of age had completely faded away, and all that she could remember was her father, Mrs. Berry, and her happy childhood.
In addition to that, Charlotte would suffer from an excruciating headache on stormy days.
However, none of that seemed to matter at all. After all, Charlotte was going to start her life afresh.
Danrique had employed a team of experts to train Charlotte to become an all-rounded adult. They began coaching her from square one, imparting all sorts of skills and knowledge on business management. He was determined to mold her into a proper member of the Lindberg family.
Two year later...
At an auction house in H City.
After a few years of rapid city development, H City had emerged as the richest city in the country with the most economic activities. Every inch of land was as valuable as gold, and real estate developers had lain their fingers on every last piece of land in the city. There was almost no land for more development
And so, the latest project in the South Sea region had become the most desirable project ever, and investors from all over the globe were in a heated fight over it.
At the auction that day, not only were a few pieces of land in the South Sea area on sale, but the ownership over the entire South Sea area itself was also being auctioned off!
As one might have expected, many companies had sent their representatives to participate in the bidding, including the industry giant, Divine Corporation.
However, the president of Divine Corporation, Zachary, had been kept a relatively low profile for the past few years, refusing to appear in the public eye most of the time, so the representatives sent out by Divine Corporation were the newly-elected vice president, Lucy, and Johann Sterk, who was one of the founders.
The atmosphere at the auction house was heated and hectic. Everyone was in a fierce competition to obtain the ultimate prize. The representatives from Divine Corporation arrived ten minutes late but still became the center of attention when they showed up.
The bid for ownership over the South Sea area had already begun. By then, the price had skyrocketed up to two hundred billion, and the investors at the scene were hesitating to list a higher price.
Only a businessman named Mr. Sanchez, who was new to the industry, raised the price to two hundred and five billion.
At that very moment, those from Divine Corporation made their move. Under Johann's instructions, Lucy raised her paddle and announced their bid, “Two hundred and fifty billion!”
Instantly, the entire auction house went silent. Divine Corporation's bid was simply too shocking. In the previous bids, the prices only increased by five billion with each consecutive bid, and that was already rather nerve-racking in itself. Still, Lucy raised the price by an outrageous forty-five billion at one go!
