The night before the bid, I received the bidding prices from our partners, and they were not that much different from what I had guessed.
We now had 230 million in our hands.
It was way above the market price of North Courts.
200 million was Yard Group's baseline. If Silas really wanted that land, he would definitely give chase till the end.
Even though the odds were solid, I was still terrified.
Marius looked at me, expression heavy before coming toward me. "Wanda, have you ever considered that if the Yard family doesn't want this land, you'll end up getting the development rights to North Courts?"
I did not know why he asked me that all of a sudden, and for a moment, I was out of ideas.
I looked up at him. "Did you hear something?"
Marius immediately shook his head when I asked him this. "No. I just wanted to analyze the situation with you. I want you to be more vigilant instead of being so sure."
"I've actually thought about it before you brought it up, but Nibel's action is to force the Yards. I think they'll win North Courts under the pressure. Even if we really win the bid in the end, it doesn't matter. North Courts’ land still has its benefits."
"But do you think Brian will let you go once that happens?"
Marius' words made me think again. I lowered my eyes and said nothing for a while.
Truthfully, I did not know what to do either.
Facing Marius' stern gaze, I asked, "Tell me the truth, Marius. Did you actually hear something?"
He grabbed my hand all of a sudden. "You just need to know that everything I do, I do it for you. I just don't want you to be overly confident that you lose your head. You have to maintain your reason, do you understand?"
Looking into his eyes, I nodded with partial understanding. "Yes, I got it."
