The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684: Inderia’s Highest Auction Price in the Past Month

His eyelids were twitching uncontrollably, and even though he was a worldly person, his face still changed slightly: ”I know you want to stand up for your teacher, but this price is really too high. How about we just let it go?”

Nathalie Quinlan hadn’t spoken yet.

Stanley Zachmann, who had remained silent all along, now had a solemn expression on his face and was the first to speak to Jackson Wafford: ”It’s alright, if Nathalie wants to go for it, let her!”

”The Zachmann Family doesn’t have much money, but we can still come up with four or five hundred million. If she wants to compete, I’ll sell the house to support her.”

This one sentence left Jackson Wafford speechless.

The Zachmann Family’s financial foundation was there.

If it’s really as Stanley Zachmann said, risking the family’s assets for Nathalie in this bidding war wouldn’t be impossible to handle.

It’s just an auction, is it necessary to go this far?

Is it worth burning through the entire Zachmann Family’s assets?

Jackson Wafford’s worried gaze landed on the girl.

Nathalie Quinlan had been quite calm all along, with a hint of arrogance hidden in her half-lowered eyes.

At this moment, however, there was a slight softening in her gaze as she spoke to Stanley Zachmann: ”Don’t worry, I won’t sell the house.”

Stanley Zachmann was momentarily stunned, then turned to smile, taking it all in stride.

He reached out and touched the girl’s shoulder, as if silently giving her strength: ”Even if we have to sell the house, it doesn’t matter. Dad doesn’t care about these things, as long as you’re happy.”

”If you want to compete, go ahead boldly. Your grandfather would have the same attitude if he were here. We of the Zachmann Family, when we do something, we see it through to the end!”

Nathalie Quinlan’s eyelids drooped slightly, her fingers tightened a little, and she made a low ”Hmm” sound.

She wasn’t short on money.

Today, even if she put out a billion dollars to play with Torre, so what?

She hadn’t originally cared about this money, but at this moment, her heart felt warm, as if someone was standing behind her.

Even if her back was unguarded, it didn’t matter.

...

”Five hundred million.”

”Five hundred million and one dollar.”

”Seven hundred million.”

”Seven hundred million and one dollar.”

...

As the price soared, billion by billion.

The people on site were almost driven to madness.

Their way of bidding made everyone feel like money was not money anymore.

Compared to the relentless arrogance of the girl, Torre’s bidding speed slowed down as he went on.

Each time he barely raised the bid when it was close to the hammer falling.

”Eight hundred million.”

Close to a billion.

Torre’s heart was pounding, and when he spoke the number eight hundred million, his heart almost came to a halt.

That indescribable complex mentality.

Afraid that the other wouldn’t raise the bid.

Afraid that the other would continue to bid.

He was almost suffocated by Nathalie Quinlan.

”Eight hundred million?”

”Is it already eight hundred million?”

”Damn, is this the highest price at an auction in Inderia in the past month?”

”Is today just a basic banquet? Pinch me. I almost feel like I’m at a Kingsleys Family banquet, this price is terrifying.”

”...”

Eight hundred million was the highest price Torre could bear.

Exceeding this amount, even for him, he would have to think twice.

He stared blankly at the auction stage, heart racing, time dragging infinitely in his perception as he watched the auctioneer raise the gavel.

About to make a decision with one stroke!

”Tsk.”

A light laugh broke his tense mood.

Torre instinctively looked in the direction of the girl.

The girl was still dressed in black, a duckbill cap on her head, seemingly a little bored. It was only then that she leisurely stood up, slouched against the wall next to her, and looked in his direction: ”One billion.”

One billion!

The moment this price was named.

The auctioneer’s gavel, which was almost about to fall, stopped once more.

After a three-second silence, the entire room erupted!
