Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 166
At a very early hour, Becky awoke. Outside, it was still raining and dark. She opened the door to the balcony. A sharp chill from the wind swept in.
The land in the north of the city would be up for auction today. Becky had worked hard over the last two months to acquire the land. She would have it today.
Last night, she slept well. Her fever had broken by the time she woke up.
Becky spent some time doing light makeup, getting dressed in a long skirt and top, and donning a camel long coat. The wind swept up the hem of her coat as she walked outside, and her stride was lively in the high-heels she was wearing.
Today, Talia, too, sported a dress and high-heels. As they walked into the bidding venue, many people were attracted to them.
Aiken was here, too. Since he had learned that Becky was considering purchasing this land, he had been eagerly anticipating this day.
Keenan was one of Rory’s best friends. Since he and Becky were going to compete for the land, Rory believed it would be interesting.
Aiken was surprised when he saw Becky.
He had seen Becky playing drums before. She exuded confidence and poise on stage when she played the drums.
“Becky seems tough today!”
Aiken cast a gloating glance at Keenan, who was sitting next to him.
Keenan grinned but said nothing. He looked at Becky with interest.
Once the candidates had arrived, the bidding started at 10 a.m.
A lot of individuals had their eyes on the land. The bid price rose five hundred million dollars not long after the bidding started.
Becky and her assistant did nothing as the bid price continued to rise.
Keenan, of course, kept his mouth shut as well.
Aiken was familiar with Keenan’s style since they were long-time friends. He enjoyed stepping in when things were very pressing.
Becky’s refusal to reveal her bid price made it impossible to determine Fairway Group’s maximum offer.
Becky drank a glass of water in silence as she studied Aiken.
When Aiken saw Becky staring at him, he smiled at her. Becky, however, looked away as soon as he lifted his hand.
Three companies gave up within five minutes.
Talia asked Becky in a low voice, “Miss Ramos, shall we…?”
Becky smiled. “Not yet.”
Since Keenan was so patient, Becky decided to play along.
There were just two companies left in the bidding now. The price increased from 27.5 billion to 30.8 billion.
One firm remained after the price hit 31.3 billion.
The moment had come.
Becky snorted and cast a quick look at Keenan. “Talia, raise our paddle.”
She was curious to know Keenan’s estimation of her limit price.
Becky increased by fifty million, and the rival firm increased by fifty million as well.
When Becky increased the price to 32.5 billion, the corporation gave up.
At this point, Keenan raised his paddle and made an offer of 33.5 billion.
He was very wealthy!
Becky added fifty million in a similar manner to what she had just done.
Keenan’s bids were always increased by fifty million by Becky.
The price of the land was close to 40 billion after the two of them engaged in this competition.
“Keenan, 40 billion is your maximum, isn’t it?” Aiken asked as he watched with curiosity.
Keenan cast a disgusted glance at Aiken. “Shut up!”
“All right.”
Keenan called out 40 billion.
Since 40 billion was also their highest price, Talia turned to look at Becky.
With a smirk, Becky said loudly, “40.3 billion.”
Keenan kept quiet since 40 billion was his highest price.
Becky would never give up, and he knew that.
If he continued, the profit margin would only get tighter.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
