Nathan's laid-back demeanor lit a fire in Cameron, who boldly declared, "Why not? A mere hundred million—I've got that covered."
Cameron upped the ante. "One hundred million and ten thousand."
Nathan flashed a sly grin and calmly told the auctioneer, "I'll bid five hundred million."
Cameron was absolutely floored. “I’m out,” he said, slumping back into his seat, clearly defeated.
Nellie was pretty surprised. In the previous life, Cameron fell for Nathan's tricks and kept upping his bid. When he reached a billion, Nathan suddenly stopped. Though Cameron ended up with Timeless Cycle, he nearly drained all his cash reserves. Later, when Nathan went after his projects, Cameron couldn't come up with enough money and was at Nathan's mercy. His empire fell apart quickly, and his success was short-lived.
But this time around, why has everything turned out so differently?
Nathan's sudden fivefold increase in bidding while Cameron wisely held back was unexpected.
Nellie winced as she watched Nathan. Sure, Timeless Cycle was valuable, but blowing five hundred million on it was a bit much. What was it about that piece that Nathan couldn’t let go of?
Lost in thought, Nellie watched Nathan step up to claim Timeless Cycle, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.
Benjamin, though, was not impressed with Nathan's splurge and snidely remarked, "Nathan, your granddad’s gonna blow a gasket when he hears you blew so much on something so trivial."
Nathan shot him a frosty look. "I’m using the inheritance my mom left me. Got a problem with that?"
