150 billion dollars was indeed an astronomical price.
Mason had warned others not to raise the price.
Hence, now that someone had the audacity to call out such a sky-high price, it was plain that he was challenging Campos Corporation.
The host was dumbfounded, but he then said excitedly, "150 billion dollars, going once, going twice... Sold."
In the private room, Freya was astonished. "Who was the one who shouted this price out of the blue? 150 billion dollars? Let me do some math. It’s a lot."
"This amount... is not something many people can fork out." Catherine was surprised. Somehow, the mysterious man whom she caught smoking earlier crossed her mind.
"Don't Mason want to continue bidding?" Freya sighed. "Is that it?"
"Considering how petty Mason is, would he be willing t o fork out 100 billion dollars? That’d be a joke." The moment Catherine opened the door, two men blocked her way.
"It’s a woman." One of the men snorted. "Wait here.
Chairman Campos would like to meet you."
"Hey, Catherine, so it was you who called out the price." Charlie and Melanie, who happened to pass by, suddenly came to take a dig at her. "How savage of you. You don't have Shaun backing you up now, yet you dare challenge us."
"You're biting off more than you can chew." Charlie fixed his burning eyes on Catherine and smiled.
Catherine snickered. "The Campos family actually caught me by surprise. How shameless of you guys to bid 100 dollars. That was an eye-opener for me."
Charlie's expression shifted into annoyance before he let out a cold laugh. "For an unlucky place like the Hill family's manor, adding 100 dollars was extremely kind of us."
“Exactly. Whoever stays there will be unlucky. I mean, the Hills are currently so poor that they even have to sell off their manor." Melanie made fun of their mishap.
"I know you guys couldn't bring yourselves to buy it but didn't allow others to buy it as well. Mason must b e putting the buyer in trouble now. Let me advise you guys. Not anyone can take out 150 billion dollars effortlessly to invest in a manor. Think about it. Can the Campos family easily fork out this amount?" Catherine reminded them.
Charlie furrowed his brows together.
