Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Playing by Her Own Rules

Cecelia raised her bidding pad again, and the auctioneer declared loudly, "Lady number 7, 500 million dollars!"

"510 million!"

Petunia glanced over with her defiant gaze. Her confidence in the bid came from the fact that she now had a powerful backer and investor.

A mysterious investor had invested in the Taylor Group, giving her the strength to compete with Cecelia!

She had her eyes set on Plot No. 1, intending to use it for the future expansion of Taylor Group. She was determined to defeat Cecelia in the business world with her own strength.

"520 million!"

At this point, a man sitting diagonally behind Cecelia raised his bidding pad.

Cecelia turned her head and found that the bidder was Stanley.

Stanley, immaculately dressed in a suit, gave Cecelia a gentlemanly nod and smile as a greeting. Cecelia responded with a nod and then raised her bidding pad.

"600 million dollars."

Incremental bidding was not satisfying enough for Cecelia. She didn't want to waste time, and what she had in abundance right now was money. Competing with her on price was undoubtedly a self-inflicted humiliation.

The bidding for the plot had reached 600 million, exceeding its original price. All eyes were on Cecelia.

Seeing Cecelia's bid of 600 million, Petunia, not willing to be outdone, also raised her bidding pad, "610 million dollars!"

The crowd's attention shifted to Petunia. By now, Petunia had completely forgotten her mother's admonitions not to compete with Cecelia.

"700 million dollars!"

After raising her bidding pad, Cecelia looked at Petunia. She'd like to see if Petunia was going to keep up.

Several real estate tycoons were also bidding, 720 million, 740 million, and 760 million. Petunia, no longer considering the cost, directly offered 800 million!

The price had reached 800 million, already well over the premium. The real estate tycoons all backed off, and the venue erupted in gasps of astonishment. All eyes were on Petunia and Cecelia.

They all wanted to see how far Cecelia would compete with Petunia.

Petunia also turned her gaze to Cecelia, trying to pressure Cecelia into continuing to bid. If Cecelia bid up to a billion dollars, she would stop.

By that time, a single plot of land would make Cecelia pay more than double the intelligence tax.

Everyone looked at Cecelia, and Stanley also watched her with interest. However, Cecelia remained still, showing no intention of raising her bidding pad again.

The auctioneer began to patrol the room, "Is there a higher bid? Is there? Alright! 800 million for the first time, 800 million for the second time, 800 million for the third time! Sold!"

In the end, Plot No. 1 was sold at the high price of 800 million, with Petunia coming out on top.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to Miss Taylor, number 12, for acquiring the rights to Plot No. 1!"

The room burst into applause. Petunia was somewhat surprised. Why didn't Cecelia compete in the end?

However, upon reflection, she felt a sense of triumph. She felt that she had finally outshone Cecelia today. It felt so good!

After the auction in Hall No. 1 ended, people began to leave. Cecelia and Petunia ran into each other.

"How about that? I got Plot No. 1 today! You couldn't outbid me!"

Petunia was in high spirits as if she had gotten a great deal.

"Congratulations to you for getting Plot No. 1! Well done!"

Cecelia said with a faint smile and walked out of the venue first.

Hearing her say this, Petunia felt something was off. Why would Cecelia congratulate her so warmly?
