Chapter 432 Special to Him
Josie listened and understood what Eileen was getting at. She pondered and replied, “That one billion debt shouldn’t be an issue. Mr. Olsen has injected capital into the company, so Wyatt should be able to pay it.”
“I’m not talking about the debt.”
Eileen was a celebrity. Thus, it was humiliating when everyone in Wavery knew Arnold had canceled their engagement.
However, that was Arnold’s doing, and Josie had no desire to bear the blame for him. “I have nothing to do with it. You shouldn’t take out your anger
on me.”
Eileen looked at her side profile and said, “Arnold offended Laxir Corporation, for your sake. He even mortgaged his shares in exchange for funds to get through the crisis. Ms. Warren, you are special to him.”
Josie frowned and finally looked at Eileen. “He mortgaged his shares?”
Eileen did not respond. Her eyes were filled with hatred and indignance.
The auctioneer brought down the hammer and began to accept bids for the pendulum clock. The crowd whispered in anticipation and focused on the stage.
The starting bid was eleven million.
Many people bid for it.
“Thirteen million.”
“Sixteen million.”
“Twenty million.”
People bid fervently as if the large sum meant nothing to them.
Josie resisted raising her auction paddle and glanced at Mark. He seemed to have no intention of bidding. On the other hand, Xanthe made a bid.
“Twenty-five million.”
Although the antique pendulum clock seemed valuable, it did not make sense for them to all fight for it. The fervent bidding left Josie confused. Could Xanthe be bidding on it due to her feelings for her late husband?
Dexter had given Josie firm instructions. She must win the bid no matter how much it took.
