Chapter 1901
On the stage, Keith's smile grew wider.The Harris family was also one of the top four families in Midwich, and Keith was the heir of the Harris family.The top four families were rivals with each other, wanting the others to go down.Seeing Sherleen humiliated at the hands of an unknown young man, Keith beamed with joy.He coughed, put on a stern expression, and said, "Everyone, Number 71 offered three million dollars for these 30 medical books. Is there anyone offering a higher price? Any more? Take the chance, or the 30 medical books will belong to Number 71."Number 71 is the number on Sean's auction paddle.As soon as Keith finished speaking, Sherleen angrily raised her auction paddle."Four million dollars!"Keith nodded and looked back at Sean. "Number 33 bid four million dollars. Is anyone..."Before Keith could finish speaking, Sean raised his auction paddle."Five million dollars."Unlike the furious Sherleen, Sean was calm and impassive in his expression and tone.

"You... b*stard!"Sherleen's hands and feet were shaking with anger.Keith looked at Sean and said with a chuckle, "Mrs. Yale just bid six million. Do you want to keep bidding, Mr. Lennon?"Keith did not even address them according to the paddle numbers anymore; he went by Mrs. Yale and Mr. Lennon.Sean smiled and nodded before slowly saying, "I bid ten million dollars for the 30 medical books."'Ten million!'Sherleen had bid six million, and now Sean bid ten million in the blink of an eye!How terrifying.Even Sherleen, who was the head of the Yale family, felt intense pressure because of the ten million."Mom, forget it. Grandpa's disease can't be cured just by buying some medical books. They probably don't have such a magical effect even if they're Dr. Humphrey's medical books. After all, medical books have to be studied first. No one can master Dr. Humphrey's medical skill through 30 books."Sherman spoke to his mother, Sherleen, as he grabbed her by the wrist.Sherleen
Chapter 1903
Although they still had no idea who Sean was or where he came from, they could already tell Sean was not Chief Police Wholeton's subordinate.It was because even Chief Police Wholeton dared not go against the Yale family. If Sean was really Gabe's subordinate, how could he go against the Yale family without Gabe’s protection?"There are so many talents out there."An old man in his seventies glanced at Sean in the back row and said slowly."It looks like things are going to change for us in Midwich." Another person said as if anticipating something.The auction continued.The next auction item came on stage, and the atmosphere in the auction room gradually became bustling.Gabe grimaced as he said to Sean, "Sir, would you please give me a heads up before doing anything? I was scared to death.""Are you scared of such a small incident? You're a very good chief of police."Zander was not mocking him; he was just joking.Gabe said with a sigh, "A chief of police has a lot of pow
Chapter 1904
How expensive!Most of the people present did not have the financial means to buy such a hotel.However, a small group of people was also interested in East World Hotel.It included the patriarch of the Sheldon family—Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, and the patriarch of the Jensen family—Fernando!"Here comes the fun."Fernando said as he rubbed his hands together, his face flushed."Dad, are we bidding on East World Hotel? Why didn't you tell me?" Jonathan asked.Fernando glanced at his precious son before snapping with a laugh, "If I told you, wouldn't you have announced it to everyone? It's a trade secret. How could I tell you so easily?"Jonathan nodded in understanding and agreement.The patriarch of the Sheldon family—Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, frowned slightly and said, "East World Hotel is up for auction. The Jensen family will go after it... They must win the hotel.""Should we bid then? The Sheldon family isn't in the real esta
Chapter 1905
On one hand, it was because the price increase was too large, so the guests present found it hard to comprehend for a moment.The other was because the bid was made by none other than a member of one of the top four families—the patriarch of the Jensen family, Fernando!The Jensen family had spoken up. Who would now compete with the Jensen family?Of course, there were still people who dared to compete, but they were still in the minority."Haha, we want East World Hotel. No one's going to give us a hard time, right?"Fernando got up with a smile and gestured to the guests.The guests around him looked at Fernando's smile and buttered him up."Mr. Jensen, since you have your eye on East World Hotel, the rest of us won't compete with you, of course.""Yeah, we're not interested.""We're not in the real estate business, so we're not interested in running a hotel. Mr. Jensen, you can have it if you want it."Fernando was in a good mood as he heard so many compliments and flatter
Chapter 1906
Caden was so mad that his beard trembled, and he said, "I'm still adding one million dollars. 81 million dollars!"Fernando sneered and said, "Do you think I won't add more? I bid 85 million!""86 million!"Fernando was not backing down.The guests present were so shocked that their scalps tingled.They were two of the top four families in Midwich.The competition between the Sheldon family and the Jensen family was intense. No one was backing down!East World Hotel's price was now close to 90 million, which was something the vast majority of guests did not have. They could only watch the bidding greedily.The Yale family seemed uninterested and remained silent throughout."Mom, aren't we going to bid?" Sherman asked with a smile.Sherleen shook her head and said, "We came to the auction today for Dr. Humphrey's 30 medical books. I'm not interested in anything else. Besides, the Yale family is not short of business. We're having problems keeping all our subsidiaries in contro
Chapter 1907
It was a threat from two noble families! An outright threat!If the average person were to confront the Jensen family and the Sheldon family at the same time, they would probably have peed their pants.However, Sean was undaunted as the look on his face did not change at all."Did you hear what I said?" Fernando slammed onto the table and shouted.Caden also snapped, "Young man, you have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities..."Sean held up the auction paddle again before he could finish speaking."I've changed my mind. I'll raise my bid by 20 million to a total of 120 million for East World Hotel!"120 million!Before Caden and Fernando could increase their bid, Sean did it first!Besides that, he added 20 million right away!The guests were so shocked that their brains were buzzing as if they had a hive of bees in their brains.Sean's action could be said to leave no face for the two noble families. It was almost equivalent to humiliating them in front of everyone.Th
Chapter 1908
Sean turned to look at Fernando and asked with a smile, "It's 150 million now. Mr. Jensen, are you going to continue competing with me?"Fernando's face was so gloomy that he wanted to say yes, but he could not make up his mind at the sky-high price of 150 million.After all, the momentum Sean was building was too powerful.There was no way Fernando could guarantee that he could outbid Sean, so what if Sean kept increasing the price?Keith on stage smiled and reminded him, "Mr. Lennon bid 150 million for East World Hotel. Is there anyone offering a higher bid? 150 million going once... 150 million going twice...""Dad!"Jonathan tugged at Fernando's sleeve again.However, Fernando hesitated to continue his competition with Sean."Sold for 150 million! Sold! East World Hotel goes to Mr. Lennon!"Keith knocked the gavel with a thud.It was settled.Sean had taken over East World Hotel for 150 million Dragon dollars.Sitting next to Sean, Zander remained calm, but Gabe was swe
