Chapter 345
thought What In the form of a charity auction?
ayla heard that, her expression froze,
A small company like hers wouldn’t have the money to bid in a charity auction. Since it was an auction,
the highest bidder would win.
She thought, Why does the tender have to go to the highest bidder?’
At the thought of that, Layla’s head drooped. She kept drawing circles and kicking the gravel on the
ground with her feet.
Gavin looked at Layla in front of him. He seemed to care about what the two employees just said.
He put his hands on Layla’s shoulders. Layla felt Gavin’s hands on her shoulders and looked up at him
intently.
Then, Gavin looked at Layla and gently asked, “Do you want this project?”
Layla was shocked when she heard Gavin’s words but still nodded.
She really wanted the project because it was indeed an opportunity for her.
However, based on the current state of her company, it was impossible for her to have the ability to
clinch the project.
Therefore, the probability of clinching the project was zero.
Layla looked up at Gavin seriously and spoke again, “I really want the project very much. It is indeed an
opportunity for me.
“The Prosperity Group is the largest medical conglomerate in Frostpeak.
“Currently, this medical project is still in its initial stage in Riverrun. If we can collaborate with the
Prosperity Group in Frostpeak, the medical project in Riverrun will become the largest, major one.
“That’s why everyone wants to compete for this project.
“But their bidding is held in the form of a charity auction where the highest bidder wins.
“There are no chances of me clinching the project when the bidding is held in such a way.”
Gavin looked at Layla’s serious expression and could tell that she was really concerned about this
matter.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so anxious to come back and check her company as soon as she returned
to Brookspring.
However, from the looks of it, Layla was completely uninterested in going to the charity auction in the
afternoon.
Hence, Gavin looked at Layla and smiled faintly:

The strongest Winors Revenge
He said. Even so, we should still go. Even if we don’t stand a chance, we can get to know some big
shots in the medical equipment industry.
If you want your small company to grow, you have to be more involved in these things
And even if you don’t have a chance of winning the tender, you can still
introduce yourself to the people from the Prosperity Group.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLayla looked at Gavin’s serious expression and thought about it.
She thought, ‘Gavin is right. Everything has to be fought for. Even if I can’t
compete with the others, I can get to know those people. What if my dream really comes true one day?’
Layla looked at Gavin and nodded.
She said, “Okay, I’ll go.
“No matter what the outcome is, it’s better to go than not to go. It’s also good to meet people!”
Gavin looked at Layla in front of him, whose fighting spirit seemed to be reignited. He smiled and said,
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
As the charity auction was held that afternoon, they needed to set off immediately.
Hence, Gavin left quickly with Layla and her two employees.
At the luxurious venue, eight exquisitely carved golden pillars stood on both sides of the venue. Large
chandeliers lined the ceiling of the hall. Dozens of exquisite rosewood tables and chairs with dark
patterns looked extremely luxurious. The floor was also made of marble.
From the appearance of it, one could see how popular this auction was.
Layla and Gavin just entered the venue. The entire venue was filled with big shots! Layla became even
less confident. She kept walking with her head down like a soulless rag doll.
At this moment, Jackson and Caleb, the two brothers of the Taylor family, stood in the center of the
venue in luxurious clothes. At a glance, their eyes suddenly lit
when they saw Layla walking with her head down.
up
Just as they were about to walk toward Layla to disgust her, they suddenly saw a figure appear in the
venue.
Suddenly, they stopped in their tracks and retreated to a corner.
They thought, ‘Gavin?
‘Why is he here, too?
‘Could it be Gavin is planning to help Layla win this tender?
‘Well, even if Gavin is here, it won’t change anything.
With the Taylor family’s current strength, we can get whatever we want.
The Stacionest Warriors Revelige
Even if Layla lins Gavin to help lier, it is impossible for her to win the tender Moreover, Gavin is just a
loser who has lost his family. He can’t possibly have
money
He is merely good at fighting. This tender bidding that we are facing now is a contest of wealth.
Gavin is a pauper now. He won’t be able to do whatever he wants.
He is simply an embarrassment like Layla’
However, it was undeniable that they were still a little afraid of Gavin.
After all, they were still hiding in a corner, watching everything happening outside.
At this moment, a woman with a delicate face and a dress encrusted with diamonds stood on the stage.
She said with a smile, “Distinguished guests, thank you for attending the tender event for the project in
Riverrun held by the Prosperity Group in Frostpeak arid your busy schedules.
“I’m sure everyone knows that the tender bidding this time is held in the form of a charity auction.
“In addition, all the money we receive today will be donated to charity as a contribution to the society.”
Gavin and Layla sat at an inconspicuous table in the last row.
The more Layla listened to the host’s explanation, the more she felt that all of this had nothing to do
with her.
Layla turned to look at Gavin beside her and realized that he was supporting his head with one hand.
His eyes were closed, and he was breathing evenly.
Layla thought, ‘How could he sleep at such a big auction?’
At this moment, the host’s loud and penetrating voice sounded from the stage. “Now, the auction
officially begins!”
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a beard raised the board in his hand and shouted, “I bid 10
million dollars!”
Instantly, the entire auction venue was ignited with excitement.
The people at the auction venue looked at the man who bid 10 million dollars. His face was filled with
smugness.
The people below the stage muttered, “The opening bid is 10 million dollars. As expected, the highest
bidder wins!”
“Gosh, he’s the director of Oriental Real Estate. This bid price is just peanuts to him!”
“Let’s just be onlookers today. Just the opening bid is enough to eliminate us from participation.”
When Layla heard that someone had bid 10 million dollars, her mind went blank
11:170
all of a sudden.
She had thought that the ending bid price for this auction would only fall within the million-dollar range.
Had she known that the opening bid was 10 million dollars, she might as well not come.
Hearing the muttering of the people in front of her, she lowered her head
She thought, “That’s right! The opening bid is enough to kick me out of the competition.
Immediately after, a young man in a white suit raised the board in his hand and said indifferently, “30
million dollars!”
After this bid was announced, the entire venue was in an uproar. This was only the second bid, yet it
had already reached 30 million dollars.
These people were splurging as if they had no budget!
Layla no longer wanted to have any sense of participation. She would rather be invisible like air.
Then, she also leaned on the table.
The bearded man who had bid 10 million dollars just now turned to look at the young man in the white
suit. He was depressed. He had thought that no one would outbid him and that he could directly win the
tender!
He didn’t expect this outcome. He thought, ‘Isn’t this young man the son of John? Then, indeed, I have
to admit defeat.’
John was the general agent of the electronics industry in the entire Riverrun, so he was naturally
incomparable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Eugene Halton, the CEO of Hagone Pharmaceuticals, raised the board in his hand and
said, “60 million dollars!”
The competition continued to intensify. At this moment, Cecilia Turner, the director of Weston Medical
Aesthetics, raised the board in her hand and said, “100 million dollars.”
Eugene looked at Cecilia and nodded with a smile, clapping his hands.
At this moment, the entire venue fell silent. The host had already started the bid calling on stage.
“100 million dollars going once!
“100 million dollars going twice!
“100 million dollars…”
Just as Cecilia was immersed in the joy of winning the bid, the door of the auction venue suddenly
opened.
They only saw a short man in a top hat and a maroon suit walking into the venue. He watched as the
companies started bidding one by one.
This time, the protagonist of the auction was none other than the Lincoln family
Cherner Warnors Reveng
from Frostpeak.
This family had a close cooperative relationship with the Prosperity Group.
This time, the two parties came to Riverrun to establish prestige in Riverrun and develop their business
in Riverrun.
However, no one present knew that. Everyone was aiming to clinch this project.
At this moment, the short man walked in and glanced at the CEO of the Prosperity Group sitting at the
head of the table.
The two of them nodded secretly. The short man directly said, “200 million dollars!”
Upon hearing this bid offer, the crowd was in an uproar. At this moment, all eyes were focused on this
short man.
The Taylor family was also dumbfounded. They wondered, ‘Who is this guy that appeared from
nowhere?’
For a moment, everyone was disheartened and stopped bidding.
Layla, who was leaning on the table, instantly looked up.
She thought, ‘200 million dollars… Oh my God! Is this an auction?’
It seemed that she had some misconceptions about auctions.
At this moment, the host on stage started the bid calling again.
“200 million dollars going once!
“200 million dollars going twice!
“200 million dollars…”
At this moment, once again, before the host could say it the third time, her voice came to an abrupt
stop.
Gavin raised the board in his hand and slowly raised his head.
He said calmly, “300 million dollars!”
Instantly, the entire place was in an uproar again!
All eyes turned in the direction of Gavin and Layla.
