Isaac Cameron was taken aback by how long Charlie had waited, and to his surprise, the old mansion that he was determined to acquire seemed to have slipped away.


    Feeling a surge of anxiety for his friend, Isaac eximed, “Master, you’ve desired this house for so long! It’s within your grasp now—don’t let it go! You might regret this decisionter!”


    Charlie let out a deep sigh and replied, “It appears that Deana has a stronger desire for this ce than I do.” He continued softly, “This is the old home where my parents and I shared so many memories, yet Ick the courage to openly participate in the auction. Meanwhile, Deana is bidding without hesitation. Just from that, she seems far more deserving of this house than I am.”


    In his heart, Charlie couldn’t help but admire Deana’s bravery.


    Most people were unaware that he was the young master of the Wade family and thest living descendant of Bruce. Out of caution, he chose not to publicly participate in the auction and had even registered Isaac Cameron’s driver to act on his behalf.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie respected Deana’s boldness. As the saying goes, a true gentleman appreciates the beauty in others. He made the decision to step back and allow Deana to have the house, despite not knowing her personally. He was aware that Deana had loved his father for many years, though their rtionship never progressed to anything substantial. Perhaps this house could provide her with a much-needed sense offort rted to her feelings for Bruce over the past thirty years.


    In a way, this could serve as a posthumous thank you from Charlie’ste father to Deana for her unwavering friendship throughout the years. Meanwhile, the bidding continued outside.


    Isaac Cameron’s driver had not yet received any instructions to withdraw. After Deana ced a bid of 60 million, the driver instinctively raised his hand to bid 61 million.


    Charlie reminisced about the old house, sighed deeply, and then turned to Isaac Cameron. “Please tell your driver to stop bidding,” he instructed.


    After conveying his message, Charlie donned a mask and exited the box. At that moment, Deana raised her bidding card once more and dered, “Sixty-two million!” Noticing this, Isaac Cameron quickly followed up with a voice message to his driver: “Withdraw the bid. No more bidding!”


    Just as the driver prepared to bid, he suddenly received the message and hurriedly pressed y. Hearing Isaac’s recentmand, he immediately lowered his hand.


    The auctioneer, now a bit flustered with excitement, called out, “Bidder No. 22, are you bidding or not?”<fn68cd> This content belongs to fι?dnοvel</fn68cd>


    The driver replied, “I give up.”


    Upon hearing those words, Deana felt a wave of joy wash over her—a significant weight had finally lifted.


    Then the auctioneer announced loudly, “Sixty-two million once! Sixty-two million twice! Sixty-two million three times! Sold!” With that final bang of the gavel, Deana was overwhelmed with tears of happiness.


    In the days leading up to this moment, she had struggled to sleep and lost her appetite, consumed by thoughts of this house. Now, atst, everything had fallen into ce. Although the price far exceeded the house’s market value, to Deana, it was truly priceless. She had loved Bruce since her youthful days, and even after his marriage and passing, her feelings for him remained unwavering.
