Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

The bidding war for the land on the east bank was more intense than I had anticipated.

Soon, the price of the land climbed to one billion and two hundred million dollars. It was getting closer and closer to my target price.

Buying this land was harder than I had imagined.

I observed the crowd. Because the bid was exorbitant, only a few big shots remained.

A few moments later, the bid went up to one billion and three hundred million dollars. With the price this high, everyone conceded, except Charles, Adam, and me.

With the paddle in his hand, Simon moved closer and whispered in my ear, “Caroline, what should we do now? The price is rising too fast.” “There’s nothing to be worried about. Just continue raising the paddle. I have a plan.” I had anticipated this. As long as the price of the land was no more than two billion dollars, I would surely manage it.

A few minutes later, the price reached one billion and six hundred million dollars.

Adam had no choice but to put down his paddle and admit defeat. Sadly for him, he could only glare at me across the audience. He looked as though he was going to eat me alive. How pathetic.

Now, I only had one competitor left-Charles.

His bidding price was close to mine. At this moment, the price had risen to one billion and eight hundred million dollars. Nevertheless, Charles was still unwilling to give up. I must admit, I was

starting to get nervous.

Two billion was my limit. Truthfully speaking, I would have already gotten what I wanted if it were not for Charles.

Now, I was left with no choice but to use my trump card. “Simon, give me the paddle.” Simon was taken aback, but he still did what I had asked.
