Kieran furrowed his brow in frustration.
Leaning in, Jarrett whispered to Mr. Sutton, "This is already more than what we valued it at."
Hearing so, Kieran scoffed. Freya didn't have the funds. Her bidding was just a way to challenge him directly.
Kieran was determined to teach Freya a lesson, even if it meant taking a loss.
Kieran said coldly, "320 million dollars!"
Ronan was quite pleased with Kieran's aggressive bidding. According to the data, Kieran had already lost 50 million dollars.
Ronan hadn't expected Freya to have such tactics, baiting Kieran into a costly mistake. He had underestimated Freya in the past.
Just as Ronan was about to suggest that Freya back down, she suddenly raised her paddle. "500 million dollars!"
The bid of 500 million caused a stir among the crowd. What could be worth 500 million dollars? How did it reach 500 million dollars?
Freya's bid even surprised the auctioneer. He had to ensure he hadn't misheard. The piece of land in the Southern Suburbs, as big as 8 acres, was valued at only 100 million dollars!
Hadn't the bid just been at 320 million dollars? Where did this 500 million dollar bid come from?
"Has Freya lost her mind?" Kieran's face darkened.
A piece of suburban land, barely worth noting, and she dared to bid 500 million dollars? Where did she get the guts?
