Chapter 391 – A contest between men
“Next time when you go out, bring a bodyguard, otherwise I’m not sure.” After thinking for a moment, Caleb still instructed, even if he knew that Eva did not want to take so many people out, this critical moment, can not be by her nature. He was worried that Hannibal would make some dirty tricks to force him to withdraw from the bid.
Caleb told Eva to stay at home and not to go out. Eva thought Caleb was jealous and wanted to ground her.
As the bidding gets closer and closer, Hannibal starts to get busy preparing the bidding documents, and he doesn’t see Eva for a few days in a row.
On the day of the bidding Hannibal began to look around as soon as he walked into the venue, looking for Eva’s figure, but never found it, and settled down with his subordinates with a lost face.
And Eva is bored at home, also want to feel what the bid is like, has been pestering Caleb to attend, Caleb, of course, to meet Eva this small request.
When Eva and Caleb arrived, the two were low-key and sat straight back, Eva didn’t want to sit in the front row to be stared at.
Even so Hannibal saw Eva at a glance, his eyes moved with the follow Eva, Caleb felt Hannibal’s gaze, very upset, with his own body blocked in front of Eva, blocking Hannibal’s view.
Eva saw Caleb still standing in front of her and was filled with confusion as to what was going on.
“Why don’t you sit down?” Eva asked, and reached out to pull the corner of Caleb’s shirt so he could sit next to her.
Caleb turned to look in Hannibal’s direction and saw that Hannibal had withdrawn his gaze before slowly sitting down.
Shortly after, the host came on stage, and after a big introductory speech the bidding officially began.
Eva heard the host’s introduction, there was an instant feeling of going back to school and listening to the professor’s introduction of the case, and her brain raced, considering how much this plot of land could finally yield, after all, after so many years of study, even if she had gone to film, the old capital could not be forgotten.
At first Caleb was steady as a rock, are some small business is very active, the price was slowly raised.
“Why aren’t you shouting?” Eva listened to the sound of shouting bids on the scene, and on the contrary, Caleb sat leisurely, as if he was a visitor to the battle.
“There’s no rush, not yet.” Caleb smiled and replied in a small voice, although the scene now looks seemingly intense, but the real climax is still behind.
“Three hundred and fifty million dollars, is there any higher?” The host shouted from the stage, and every time he heard a raised bid was the most exciting time for the host.
“Five hundred million.” Hannibal, who was sitting in the front row, raised his card and his low voice rang out.
Eva looked with the source of the sound and realized that he was the man she met in the mall that day.
The fruit is really rich it, that day somehow to help her checkout, although the last dress do not know where to put it, how she looked for it did not find.
What Eva doesn’t know is that Caleb threw that dress in the trash a long time ago, his woman’s clothes, not needing another man to pay for them.
“Eight hundred million, now number 6 shouts for eight hundred million.” The host shouted with the microphone, and his voice spread to every corner of the venue.
800 million?
How long does she have to shoot to earn that much money?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Just when Eva wanted to see who was being so generous, she turned around and noticed the sign next to Caleb with a bold “6” on it, and her eyes widened.
But soon she stifled her surprise, but when she saw that others in the venue were as surprised as she was, her heart finally balanced out a bit, so she wasn’t the only one who was shocked.
“Eight hundred million, eight hundred million now number 6 shouted eight hundred million, there is no higher?” The host heard Caleb directly raise the price so high, so excited that his voice was unconsciously raised even higher.
All eyes on the scene are looking at Hannibal side, just Hannibal shouting price when looking very bottom, now the whole meeting place can compete with Lumenstone is Hannibal, right?
“Nine hundred million, this gentleman No. 4 raised his card and shouted for nine hundred million!”
Before Eva could catch her breath, she heard the host shouting excitedly from the stage.
The crowd then turned their attention to Caleb’s side, wanting to see if Caleb would continue to raise the price.
This land is also worth seven hundred million, in the first time Caleb shouted price has exceeded the expected estimate, who knows that the other party will be so righteous to raise the price.
Caleb and Hannibal were both in a position to let no one go, and the crowd wanted to know who would be the final winner.
“1. 2 billion.”
“Number 6 offers 1. 2 billion, now number 6 offers 1. 2 billion.” At the moment Caleb raised his card, the room whispered.
The host’s voice grew distant in Eva’s ears, and she reached out uneasily and tugged at Caleb’s shirt, shaking her head at Caleb to stop arguing if the other side raised the price again.
The price Caleb offered was too high, and the late profits were so low that it wasn’t cost effective.
“1. 2 billion, is there more?” The host kept asking, trying to provoke Hannibal’s desire for a challenge.
Caleb eventually won the bid for the East of the City site for $1. 2 billion.
In fact, even if Hannibal continues to raise the price, Caleb will still do so, and it’s not just a competition for a piece of land anymore.
Hannibal has been classified as an enemy, and with Eva present today, how could Caleb let himself lose to Hannibal, a matter of a man’s dignity?
Besides, money is really not money in front of Caleb, even if the profit is less this time, there are other places to make up for it.
Caleb had someone do the paperwork and left with Eva first. When they reached the door, they met up with Hannibal and his group.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Livingstone to be so dominant.” Hannibal came forward to greet him, he always knew Caleb’s tactics, and today he saw that it was true.
“The same goes for you. A word of warning to Mr. George, some things that don’t belong to you in the first place are better not to grab.” Caleb replied with a smile and a double entendre, meaning beyond words, don’t put your heart into Eva, warning him to stay away from Eva.
“It seems that Mr. Livingstone is still quite confident, but with so much time, who can say for sure.” Hannibal replied, but his eyes inadvertently looked at Eva.
“Well, good luck with that.” Caleb said, and left with his arm directly around Eva.
Hannibal stood alone, his gaze deep.
Eva spent a few days reading the script given by Bonnie and had already decided which play she wanted to take.
“Bonnie, I want to do a Bourne Identity spy drama, I like the subject matter.” Eva called Bonnie and said.
“That spy drama?” Bonnie remembered that Eva had wanted to take a drama with martial arts action before, but was finally rejected by Caleb, and she didn’t expect that she hadn’t given up the idea even now.
