As soon as the bid of 10 million ca from the B01 box downstairs, the whole place erupted.
"Amadeus, it’s been checked."
Alfred Garland swiftly returned to the B02 box.
"Who is it?" Richardo Fisher didn’t win the bid and was struggling to save face, his handso features contorted with displeasure.
Alfred Garland didn’t look at him but reported directly to Amadeus Yancey, "The buyer in the box next door is Silvania Ingram, the CEO of Pinecone Group."
"Pinecone Group?" Amadeus Yancey fell into deep thought, touching the Buddhist beads on his wrist. His fingertips rubbed over the smooth beads, his gaze narrowing slightly, "What does she want with Flesh Ganoderma?"
"This... I don’t know."
Pinecone Group had a big reputation in Beijing, initially seeming to have made their fortune through diamonds. After settling in Beijing, the company transitioned to industrial operations and invested in nurous projects.
Their cinemas were the most outstanding.
They held 30% of the country’s cinema chains in their grip.
The Ingram Family had a bit of a na in Beijing. Unfortunately, their internal disputes over the inheritance were so fierce that they had gradually declined over the years.
It was once thought that Silvania Ingram, who was expelled from the Ingram Family by her brothers, would fall from grace. Yet, she managed a coback against all odds, leading the Pinecone Group to resurgence, while the once invincible Ingram Family was the one to fall into decline!
Richardo Fisher had apparently heard of Pinecone Group. He was taken aback for a mont before leaning over to Amadeus Yancey and saying, "Pinecone Group? I rember my brother’s girlfriend’s family has a good relationship with their company. In recent years, many of their cinema lines were contracted to the Quinlan Family to build."
The auctioneer was about to bring down the gavel.
Richardo Fisher turned back and said, "Continuing to bid like this is pointless. Tomorrow I’ll have his girlfriend’s father talk to the CEO of Pinecone Group to see if she is willing to part with the Flesh Ganoderma for us."
"10 million for the second ti!"
The auctioneer started to call out, "This is your last chance, if anyone else is bidding, hurry up, it will be final once the hamr falls."
"10 million for the third ti!"
The hamr ca down heavily, signifying the final ownership of the Flesh Ganoderma.
Alfred Garland had never seen Amadeus at a disadvantage before and wished he could capture the mont on his phone, but he didn’t dare to do so.
Sothing Amadeus wanted but couldn’t get! This was a first.
Silvania Ingram of Pinecone Group was impressive!
Amadeus Yancey stood up, glanced at the auction below, brushed the creases on his clothes, his handso face betraying no emotion, "Forget it. Flesh Ganoderma isn’t exclusive to this place; we can just buy it next ti we co across it."
"I have other matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving." It was ti for the little girl to get out of school.
He picked up the nicotine inhaler from the table and left first.
...
On the other side, Silvania Ingram got what she wanted. A smile appeared on her face as she said to Nathalie Quinlan, "I’ll go make the paynt."
"Hmm." Nathalie Quinlan looked down at the ti on her phone, packed up her belongings, stood up, and said to her, "It’s almost ti for school to let out; Mrs. Ingram, please handle the rest, I’m going to head back now."
Silvania Ingram was used to her independence and waved her off, "Alright, go ahead. I’ll bring the item to your clinic once I have it."
"Okay." Nathalie Quinlan nodded, casually slinging her single shoulder bag over her body, pulled her hat brim low to cover her exquisite face, exposing only her chin.
Having been to Lowie Wilmar’s auction house before, Nathalie Quinlan knew the drill. As the auction ended and people began to leave, she rged with the crowd and headed out.
The sun was about to set outside, with the afterglow spilling onto the road. She pursed her lips, walked absent-mindedly, glanced at her phone, and found no missed calls.
She was about to hail a car to the school when she heard a seductive voice.
"Nathalie Quinlan?"
