The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Jordan joined the bidding at the final moments. He raised his hand indifferently and said, "1 offer two hundred million."

Two hundred million US dollars was essentially double the previous bid, rounded up to the nearest hundred million. Jordan's bidding price intimidated many competitors in an instant.

After all, the amulet was different from the Rejuvenating Pill. Everyone in the hall had witnessed the pill's miracles, but no one knew anything about the amulet's strength.

The third amulet was sold for two hundred million US dollars, making it probably the most expensive amulet in the world.

No one else was willing to offer a price higher than two hundred million for the amulet. With that, Jordan successfully won the bid for the third amulet. When it came to the fourth amulet, the interested bidders quickly raised the price to one hundred and fifty million US dollars. At this stage, many found the amulet unworthy of such a price and gradually stopped bidding.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd raised his hand and joined the bidding. The voice said loftily, "I offer three hundred million."

It was the middle-aged man who resembled the actor Adam, but with more charisma.

Jordan found the voice familiar and instinctively followed it to ascertain its owner. When he saw the man's face, his heart jolted in shock. Immediately, his face turned grim.

At the same time, the middle-aged man successfully intimidated his competitor with his three hundred million US dollars bid.

The people present were quite rich, though that was obvious. Despite their staggering wealth, it was difficult for them to accept spending three hundred million US dollars for an amulet with unknown effects.

The whole hall fell into dead silence.

Jasmine said, "Number 99 has placed a bid of three hundred million US dollars for the last amulet. Any other higher bidders?"

There was no response.

Jasmine called for the bidding thrice before finally announcing," Congratulations, Number 99! You've won the bid for the last amulet for three hundred million US dollars."NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Throughout the entire time, Charlie

stayed n the control room and

watched as the auction went on. He looked at the middle-aged man winning the amulet with a bid price of three hundred million US dollars, narrowing his gaze in careful scrutiny.

Immediately, Charlie felt a sense of familiarity with this man. However, he couldn't recall if they had met before

Therefore, he ordered Issac, "Is sac, help me check on Number 99. What's his name, and where did he come from?"

Isaac took out the guest list and searched for the man's information right away. "Sir, his name is Carlson Hobbs. He's a Canadian from Toronto."

Charlie nodded and began to ponder. He didn't recall knowing anyone from Canada. The only people he could think of were Mrs. Lewis and Stephanie Lewis, who went to Canada some time ago.

Yet, Carlson looked somewhat familiar to him. However, Charlie doubted his memory and assumed that he must have misremembered. That, or Carlson could be someone who hid his identity, just like Kathleen Fox.

It would be hard for Charlie to

uncover Carlson Hobbs's real rison

identity in such a short time,

especially if Carlson really did hide it. Charlie would require time to

investigate it, for such wealthol not

owned multiple identities. Their other identities' names and nationalities may be different, but all of them were legal and verifiable in official records.

Still, Charlie felt like the chances of the former should be higher.
