Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 They Were Certain of Victory

Thirty million was not a small amount. Maggie had to consider if her company could afford the payment.

However, when she thought about the financial situation of the company, she could only sigh and give up.

It was indeed pointless to fight against the wealthy Nelson family at an auction.

Maggie also realized that Remington and Cecelia were determined to win, and they would definitely overcome any obstacles.

Just as everyone was looking at Maggie, she suddenly received a text message.

The message showed only one word. "Bid."

After reading the message, Maggie gained some confidence and raised her paddle again, raising the bid.

Remington continued to make other bids with 45 million, 60 million, and 75 million.

Maggie tenaciously held on until Remington shouted, "150 million!"

It caused an uproar in the auction hall.

"Oh my God! 150 million? Does Mr. Nelson want The Collection of Fragrant Clothes that badly?"

"I heard that The Collection of Fragrant Clothes contains a treasure. If he can really find it, it would be worth a deal."

"But what if there's no treasure? That would be just half a sheet of worthless paper."

Discussions filled the air. Maggie received another message.

[Stop!]

After the price reached 150 million, they could only give up.

"150 million! This price has set a new record in the history of our auction house. Is there any higher bid? Alright! 150 million goes once! 150 million goes twice! 150 million goes three times! I announce...."

Just as the auctioneer was about to hammer down with excitement, a loud explosion suddenly occurred on the stage.

The auction platform exploded, shrouding the room in thick smoke and flying sparks. The auctioneer was blown away.

Several guests in the front row were affected as well.

The sudden danger caused everyone at the scene to panic and scream, running toward the exit.

A blast of heat swept over, and Remington protected Cecelia with his body. Thankfully, their location was not too close to the explosion, so they weren't injured.

But chaos ensued in the room. It was uncertain if there would be further danger. Remington quickly took Cecelia and ran toward the exit.

People crowded at the exit. Just as Remington and the others were about to leave, another explosive sound came from inside.

Flames spread, and smoke filled the entire auction hall.

"Mr. Nelson!"

Winger and his men pushed through the crowd and found Remington and Cecelia. "Are you both okay?"

"We're fine!"

Remington took Cecelia to a relatively safe place. Both of them had a stern expression, thinking the same thing.

The explosion just now was most likely aimed at the secret recipe.

"Protect Mr. Nelson and Miss Linsey!"

Winger and his men guarded them while also reporting something to Remington. "Mr. Nelson, we caught someone attempting to attack Adam at the hospital. Now, there's an explosion here as well. I suspect that someone planned this, and they took action simultaneously."

Remington nodded, and Cecelia sighed. "Thankfully, we were prepared in advance. Otherwise, Kevin might have been dead."

Many people had already fled, leaving the building. Some people stayed in the lobby on the first floor, waiting to see what would happen.
