Chapter 169 Bidding 

Seraphina suddenly remembered her conversation with Olivia last night. 

She quickly introduced the newcomer. 

“Hansen, this is Jennifer Perez, the president of Perez Group.” 

They used to be college classmates. Hansen could be so unreliable sometimes. 

Hansen finally realized their connection and offered a polite smile. 

“Jennifer? I remember now. You’ve become so lovely that I didn’t recognize you.” 

Jennifer’s stiff expression softened noticeably 

Seraphina silently exhaled in relief. 

Sweet talk does have its advantages. 

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats. 

Thomas sat next to Seraphina. He was busy tapping away on his phone and sending emails. 

Everyone was here for this prime piece of land, with the same goal in mind. 

As soon as the bidding started, the initial offer was 500 million. 

Seraphina and Orion sat outside. Jennifer remained quiet, too. 

The price climbed rapidly. 

It reached 2 billion in no time. 

More than half of the bidders had already dropped out. 

Jenner raised her paddle. “2.5 billion!” 

After a moment of silence, the auctioneer called for the second round of bids. 

There was no movement from Ken. 

Seraphina found this odd. 

Orion shouldn’t give up so easily. 

Without overthinking it, she signaled Thomas to raise their bid. 

“2.8 billion!” 

Jennifer followed quickly. “3 billion!” 

Jennifer’s influence was primarily in Vlago; she shouldn’t be so interested in this land.

As Seraphina was pondering this, Thomas sent her a text message. 

“Jennifer and Orion have formed an alliance.” 

No wonder! 

If that’s the case, then their collaboration gives them a better chance of winning. 

Seraphina maintained her graceful smile. 

Inside, she felt a tinge of worry. 

Perhaps this trip would end in failure. 

Despite this, Seraphina wasn’t willing to give up so easily. 

She signaled for Thomas to continue. 

“4.5 billion.” 

The room fell silent. 

The real bidding war had just begun. 

Only those with the confidence to win were now in the running. 

Jennifer glanced in Seraphina’s direction. Her eyes were sharp and burning. 

Without hesitation, she raised her paddle again. 

“4.8 billion.” 

Any higher, and they’d be nearing Seraphina’s limit.

Even though the Crosses could afford it, buying this land wouldn’t yield much profit for decades. It wasn’t worth the investment. 

After a brief moment of consideration, she nodded at Thomas. 

“4.9 billion.” 

This was their final offer. 

Jennifer clearly began to waver. 

Seraphina immediately understood that the reserve price must be around that figure. 

She glanced sideways. 

Jennifer exchanged a few words with Ken in a low voice, and then Ken started texting someone. 

No need to guess it must be Orion. 

“4.9 billion, going twice-”

Chapter 169 Bidding 

Jennifer raised her paddle again, her expression tense. 

“4.95 billion-” 

Seraphina lowered her gaze slightly, deciding not to push further. 

A losing deal wasn’t worth it. 

Jennifer was visibly relaxed. 

Just as the auctioneer was about to finalize the sale, Hansen suddenly spoke up. 

“5 billion- 

The room buzzed with surprise. 

Seraphina stared at him in disbelief. 

“Are you insane?” 

Hansen smirked but remained silent. 

Jennifer was momentarily stunned. She was clearly shocked by Hansen’s bid. 

5 billion was beyond what Jennifer and Orion had anticipated. 

“5 billion, going once” 

“5 billion, going twice—” 

“5 billion, going three times–sold to Mr. Colombo!” 

The room erupted in applause. 

The land had been given to the Colombos. 

Hansen stood up with effortless grace. He waved to the crowd and walked up to finalize the deal. 

Seraphina exchanged a look with Thomas. 

The outcome was clear, and it had taken everyone by surprise. 

The usually low–key, uncompetitive Colombos had bid 5 billion to win this land. 

What on earth did Hansen plan to do with it?
