Room 009 bid one short of one billion.
The moment he got news of it, a wave of fury crashed through Wyatt. Never before had he been so frustrated in his life.
Meanwhile, Andy asked Wyatt meekly, "Mr. Windsor, the couple in room 009 has offered almost one billion. Do you still want to compete with them?"
Wyatt replied coldly, "Get out of my way!"
With that, he led his bodyguards and headed for Room 009 to see who it was that dared challenge him.
Andy and Fion exchanged glances and smiled at each other knowingly.
Then, Fion called out to Wyatt and chased after him.
Andy followed as well but he was more interested to watch the drama that was about to unfold.
Leading his subordinates, Wyatt arrived at Room 009. There, he saw a group of people clustering around a couple.
Before he could determine the identity of the man that was surrounded, he sneered, "All of you, step aside! I want to see the punk who dared to challenge me!"
When the crowd heard him, all of them stepped aside with an odd expression on their faces.
With that, Wyatt finally saw Nathan and Penny.
The moment he realized it was Nathan, he was stunned. "Nathan, it's you.”
Nathan too was surprised to see Wyatt. "Wyatt!"
Meanwhile, Frida who was standing beside Penny, gulped. She definitely recognized Wyatt as she was previously one of the First Lady's bodyguards.
At that point, realization dawned on Penny that Wyatt was the rich young man with whom Nathan had a bidding war with.
She couldn't help but look at Nathan and ask softly, "Hubby, do you know each other?"
Nathan smiled wryly, "Yes we do. This is Mr. Wyatt. I owe his parents a debt of gratitude."
Wyatt was also feeling awkward. Just when he was about to say something, Fion and Andy arrived.
