Although Isaac Cameron’s driver was short on funds, Isaac Cameron had already dered his determination to acquire this house at any cost. He wasn’t going to let anything deter him—not even the initial bid of 8 million or an extravagant 80 million. He immediately raised his hand and eximed, “8 million eight hundred thousand!”


    This bid of 8.8 million yuan,pared to the starting price of 800,000, was a staggering tenfold increase. But this was just the beginning of the fiercepetition.


    Deana, however, appeared uninterested in gradually increasing her bid. She confidently raised her hand and announced, “Ten million!” The auction room erupted in a wave of excitement once again.


    From his box, Isaac Cameron leaned over to Charlie and remarked, “Master, it seems the seconddy of the Thorne Family is quite determined to win this.”


    Charlie nodded, feeling a mix of confusion and frustration. “I don’t quite understand her motivations. She doesn’t have a significant rtionship with my father, so why is she so intent on acquiring this old house?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Isaac Cameron replied thoughtfully, “To be honest, while I may not be much older than you, I’ve heard about Deana’s feelings for your father. They run deep and are indeed quite sentimental.”


    Charlie simply hummed in response. Meanwhile, outside the auction, Isaac Cameron’s driver had already raised the bid to 12 million, which Deana quickly countered with a bid of 15 million.


    Seeing the numbers climb, Charlie furrowed his brow and instructed Isaac Cameron, “Send a WeChat to your driver and tell him to bid 30 million immediately!”


    “Understood!” Isaac Cameron nodded and promptly sent the message.


    In the auction hall, the middle-aged man raised his hand again, skyrocketing the bid to 30 million, effectively doubling Deana’s previous amount. Gasps filled the room.


    A house that was valued at less than one million was being pushed to an astonishing 30 million—an unprecedented feat in judicial auction history.


    Deana was taken aback. She nced at the man in the corner who had beenpeting with her, feeling a mix of surprise and curiosity.


    “I really can’t fathom why this mysterious man is so intent on buying the house I want. Beforeing here, I anticipated somepetition, but I expected it to be the young man I encountered at Bruce’s former residence. He bears an uncanny resemnce to Bruce, and if I’m correct, he must be Bruce’s son. I’ve spent the past few days trying to track him down without any luck. Yet here I am, facing a different opponent. Who is this middle-aged man bidding 30 million? Who could possibly be behind him?”


    As Deana pondered these questions, the auctioneer called out, “30 million once, 30 million twice—anyone willing to go higher than 30 million? If not, we’ll mark it down as the third.”


    Snapping back to reality, Deana quickly shouted, “Fifty million! I bid fifty million!”<fn0e3d> Chapters first released on FιndNovel</fn0e3d>


    The auctioneer, taken aback, stammered, “Fifty million for the first time!”


    Isaac Cameron’s driver felt a twinge of anxiety. Even though the money wasn’t his, it seemed excessive to him.


    He quickly messaged Isaac Cameron: “Boss, are we still bidding?”


    Isaac Cameron responded immediately, “Increase it by another five million!”


    Thus, the driver raised his hand once more, dering, “Fifty-five million!”


    Charlie watched Deana through the one-way ss, sighed, and said to Isaac Cameron, “If the seconddy of the Thorne Family raises her bid again, instruct your driver to withdraw.”


    Isaac Cameron looked bewildered. “Master, are you really considering giving up?!”


    He quickly added, “Master! Even if it’s not fifty-five million, but five hundred and fifty million, it’s still pocket change for us!”


    Charlie shook his head gently, letting out a sigh. “It’s not about the money. Let’s allow this aunt to fulfill her desire!”
