My Billionaire Family 245 When Jason finished speaking, everyone in the audience started looking around. They were eager to catch a glimpse of the bold CEO who had just invested 26 billion in one go. And they were curious to see the elusive yet mysterious top architect, Duskson.
Joseph's eyes were filled with anger. He said, "That Duskson, he's trying to have it all." He vowed to take Duskson down personally, to resolve the fury in his heart.
Apart from the electrifying atmosphere at the venue, the online viewers watching the livestream were also on edge.
One said: [I never thought that with my 800 dollars salary, I'd be so interested in a 26 billion bidding event.] Another person said: [You're a bit better off than me. I'm a little excited to see the Syphonea Group's president] Someone said: [I'm a student in Betrico University's Architecture Department, just hoping to see Duskson.] One said: [26 billion! Poverty really limits my imagination. Even if I'd started saving from the beginning of time, I wouldn't have that much.] Someone said: [Keep an eye on the screen, stop scrolling; I think someone's coming out.] At the venue, everyone was whispering to each other. The next moment, the sound of the conference door opening was heard.

Someone immediately recognized her as Cherise, the professor from Betrico University's Traditional Medicine Department.
The media eagerly turned their cameras towards Cherise.
Cherise had barely taken a few steps when a confident-looking man followed closely behind her. With several assistants in tow, the man projected an aura as commanding as a king's arrival. Both the audience at the event and those watching the live stream online gasped.
Someone shouted, "It's Morris!" Another person said, "Wasn't Mr. Chivers rumored to be missing? How is he suddenly here?" One said, "Is Mr. Chivers here to snatch up this land? Unfortunately, the auction has already ended." Someone said, "The assistant from Global Vision Group just said the CEO of Syphonea Group and Duskson are here. I have a hunch. Could it be Morris and Cherise?" Unlike everyone else's excitement, Joseph and Harold were in complete disbelief.
Joseph thought, 'Didn't the hospital issue a critical condition notice? What's going on? Could it all be Morris's smoke and mirrors? he really the CEO of Syphonea Group? No, it can't be him.' His anger made the veins in his neck stand out. Still on the auction stage, Jason noticed the newcomers and said, "They're here. No point instaying here, then." With that, he went back to his seat.
Morris nodded to Jason in acknowledgment and headed to the auction stage.
Cherise didn't follow Morris; instead, after greeting Andy and Sean on the side, she quietly sat beside Dora.
Everyone's eyes widened when Morris stepped onto the auction stage, realizing he was the CEO of Syphonea Group.
A head of the vast Clusia-based Chivers Group, Morris had also been the rapidly rising CEO of the international giant Syphonea Group in recent years. Everyone found the whole situation was quite surreal.

Morris didn't pay attention to what others thought. Standing on the auction stage with a god-like presence, he said, "Hello, everyone; I'm Morris, the CEO of Chivers Group and also the CEO of Syphonea Group."
As soon as those words were spoken, almost everyone held their one breath, and no one dared to whisper apymore! They were afraid that if they accidentally spoke too loudly, they would disturb Morris and get kicked out. On the auction stage, Morris continued, "This piece of land beneath Agrieviel is a significant project for Syphonea Group's first venture into Betrico.
"We believe that under the lead of our designer Duskson, this project with becthe most butstanding landmark business center in Betrico and even in Clusia." He spoke while gazing tenderly at Cherise, sitting quietly. Then he signed the contract with his name.
Following Morris's gaze, Joseph saw Cherise and remembered what om Jason had just said before she and Morris walked in. His eyes widened immediately, and he stood up from his seat. The noise from Joseph standing up was rather loud, leaving everyone confused.
Joseph stared closely at Morris. After a few seconds, he pointed at Cherise and asked, "Is she Duskson? Is Cherise the designer Duskson you hired?" Morris gave Joseph a disdainful glance and replied, "Exactly."
