The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2403

Charlie nodded slightly.

He was also determined to buy over his parent's former residence.

After all, this old mansion carried the last memories o f the time that he had spent together with his parents, and this was of great significance to him.

As several foreclosed cars were gradually sold off, the auction entered the real estate section. 2

There were thirteen properties in this judicial auction, but amongst the thirteen properties, the property with the cheapest starting price was the old mansion where Charlie's parents had once lived in.

The main reason was because the old mansion had already been classified as a historical heritage site in the city. Therefore, the new owner of the mansion would be prohibited from demolishing or refurbishing the mansion.

Most importantly, anyone who bought over this old mansion would have a certain obligation to protect it.

The mansion was very old, and it could not be demolished or refurbished to obtain even greater economical value. The new owner would not even be allowed to rebuild the mansion. Therefore, there would basically be no developers who would be interested in this old mansion. 5

No matter who bought over this mansion, they would not have the chance to make a profit out of it.

However, both Charlie and Helen were waiting to bid for this old mansion.

As this old mansion had the lowest starting price, as soon as the real estate auction began, the auctioneer placed photos of the old mansion up on the big screen and said, "The first property that we are going to auction off today is a protected old mansion located at the entrance of an old street. The specific information about this old mansion can be found in the auction manual itself. So, I will not make any further introduction about this mansion, and we will start the bid directly. The starting price for the mansion is $ 880,000 you can begin bidding now!" 3

As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, Helen raised the sign in her hand immediately and said, "One million dollars."

"Okay!" The auctioneer immediately said, "Bidder No. 3 4 bids one million dollars. Is there an amount higher than one million dollars?"

A plain and ordinary-looking middle-aged man who was seated in the corner immediately raised the sign i n his hand and said, "One and a half million dollars."

This middle-aged man was none other than Isaac's driver.

"One and a half million dollars?" The auctioneer was shocked and dumbfounded. The starting price for this mansion was only $880,000, yet after only two rounds of bidding, the price of the mansion had already been increased to $1,500,000. This was almost double the price!

After all, there was no room for any appreciation in the price of this property!

The only thing a person could do after spending one and a half million dollars to buy over this property was to continue holding onto it.
