Chapter 335 Escalation to Thirty–Five Hundred Million
Nobody opened bidding like that in a judicial auction.
Who on earth jumped straight to ceiling valuation on their opening move?
If people bid like this, what was the point of an auction?
She might as well just buy it outright.
While the floor buzzed in confusion, Damian sprang to his feet.
He was certain Isabella was rattled from losing Powell Tower earlier and was desperate to secure this facility.
After all, this was Powell Group’s premier technological pillar, an asset his father explicitly endorsed buying at premium rates.
Thrilled by the prospect, Damian keyed in with burning excitement: “Three billion!”
He was determined to make Isabella bleed an exorbitant ransom.
That way, Carter Group’s operational liquidity would be squeezed to the brink.
Forcing Carter Group to freeze numerous developmental pipelines.
His heart raced with malicious ecstasy.
Isabella observed his reaction with quiet amusement.
Simulating agonizing indecision, she hovered over the console, inputting numbers before hesitating.
The entry light blinked on and off as she entered a bid only to cancel at the last second, projecting pure torment.
Right as the timer neared expiration, Isabella appeared to bite the bullet.
An astronomical figure flashed onto the board.
3.5 billion dollars!
That number far exceeded the facility’s intrinsic valuation, blowing past even optimistic speculative premiums.
The entire research facility, lab hardware, registered patents, and experimental prototypes combined were nowhere near worth 3.5 billion!
Could there be a hidden secret inside?!
Damian’s suspicion was instantly piqued.
Turning to his aide, he demanded, “Audit the true fair–market valuation of this facility immediately!”


Does this research facility harbor some classified breakthrough?!
Some monumental technological asset?!
