Chapter 3919
He managed to save his money and attain immense wealth, but his life would reach a n end in the coming three to six months.
When Lee saw the British billionaire stop bidding, he was so excited that his body trembled uncontrollably.
Jasmine, on the other hand, was dumbfounded to see how things had turned out.
A quarter pill of Rejuvenating Pill could reach thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars so easily. The amount exceeded the Moore family's total worth! What happened before her eyes was beyond her comprehension.
Despite her shock, she remained professional. She asked politely, "Thirtyeight billion and two hundred million US dollars once. Are there any higher bidders?"
The hall was deadly silent.
The crowd was no longer shocked. Rather, they were filled with despair. They finally found the miracle of life, but no one expected the miracle to be so ridiculously expensive.
After that, Jasmine continued asking and called for the price thrice. At last, the hammer fell, signifying the end of the bidding.
"Let us congratulate bidder Number 9 for winning the bid for the last quarter pill with thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars!"
Lee burst into tears instantly, overwhelmed with emotions.
The staff walked to him and handed him the phone. "Number 9, you have half an hour to complete the transaction. If the payment fails, the pill will be forfeited to Number 29 at his last bid of thirty-eight billion and one hundred million US dollars."
The British billionaire who lost earlier was Number 29. When he heard the staff's words, hope returned to his despairing face.
He quietly hoped in his heart, 'God, please help me. Jesus, bless me. Virgin Mary, bless me. Please let the Korean's payment fail. This is my last chance of survival!'
Lee picked up the phone, turbulent emotions written all over his face. His gaze carried a hint of nervousness.
The heavy price put him under distress. The Lee family's worth was more than two hundred billion US dollars, and while they could afford the pill, it would dry up all their cash reserves.
To purchase the pill, the Lee family would lose not only thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars, but also some of their fixed assets. Their total worth of two hundred billion US dollars would shrink to less than a hundred and fifty billion US dollars after this purchase. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It was a devastating blow to the entire family.
Lee was a little anxious. He knew his children and grandchildren would hate him to the bone for spending so much of their great fortune, despite having treated him with great respect and reverence all this while.
His descendant's inheritance would shrink greatly. Not to mention, it would also take them longer to inherit it.
Originally, they could inherit the two hundred billion US dollars inheritance in just a few months.
After paying thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars for the pill, his descendant's inheritance would shrink by roughly fifty billion US dollars. Not just that, but they would need to wait years, or even more than a decade, to finally receive the inheritance.
However, Lee had no other choice.
Inwardly, he gave himself an
et
unwavering rear and steeled himself. 'I'm the one who built the Lee family's dynasty! I'm the one who gave the Lee family everything they have today! I've done so much for the family! I want to live, can continue to rule over my dynasty by staying alive. I must not let go!'
'For this ultimate goal, will I mind if my children and grandchildren turn against me?I have given them a life full of ease and luxury. Now, I must not sacrifice myself to give them the icing on the cake! Even if I'll end up alone for the rest of my life after today, I'll do whatever it takes to stay alive!'
