"Attlee, what are you spacing out for? Raise the sign, quick!"
Before Attlee even got a chance to react, Olga and Yolanda had grabbed his hand and raised the sign for him.
The auctioneer exclaimed in surprise, "1.2 billion dollars! It's the same gentleman again! Bidding 1.2 billion dollars! Any higher bidders? Anyone?"
Attlee snapped back to reality and, along with Olga and Yolanda, scanned the room anxiously. To their surprise, no one else was bidding! Even the McMillan Corporation had given up!
"Who would dare to go against the McMillan Corporation? This is unbelievable."
"The thing is, it looks like they're about to win."
"QY, the Collins group, and McMillan Corporation all gave up. This group is insane. What's their name? They managed to hang in there till the end."
"1.2 billion for the first time."
"1.2 billion for the second time."
"1.2 billion for the third time. Sold!"
The auctioneer quickly banged the gavel, announcing with an ecstatic voice, "Let's give a big round of applause to the gentleman at the back who's successfully won the land bid! I hereby declare the auction a success! Could the gentleman please come forward? We need to sign the contract."
"We did it; we've won!" Yolanda cried out, feeling a bit dreamlike, and hugged her mother tightly.
Tears welled up in Olga's eyes. "We actually won! We beat QY, the Collins Group, and McMillan Corporation! We got the land!"
Was she dreaming? This felt too surreal!
"Attlee!" Olga couldn't resist hugging Attlee. The family of three hugged together.
Attlee had never felt so proud before. These were all top-tier international corporations, yet he managed to beat them and win the land!
"Calm down, calm down. Let me go pay." Attlee hugged the two women and then stood up.
