CHAPTER 829

Just when even Kayson thought that nothing would go wrong, a voice spoke up abruptly.

“$35,000,000!”

The few people Nigel had arranged looked over in shock. Sadie panicked inwardly as well.

“How could this happen... It‘s exceeded the base price!”

Kayson could not help frowning. Was this Nigel‘s setup? It seemed impossible!

Sadie gnashed her teeth and made another bid. “$ 36,000,000!”

“$42,000,000!”

The middle–aged man with his hair gelled back seemed to have scoffed before making his bid. Material © .

Kayson was sure that the man was not part of Nigel‘s plan now, so it meant that he was simply a troublemaker.

Sadie was pale. $42,000,000 had already exceeded her budget.

Kayson pulled out his phone to ask Royce who the man was, only for the latter and Beckham‘s texts to come one after another. He read the texts with furrowed brows. Eddy Perez? He had some impression of him!

Back when he was in Clouspring at Parfume Bar, a Hans Perez wanted to take advantage of Wanda, and he had saved the girl. This Eddy Perez seemed to be Hans‘ father! He was not expecting Eddy to stir trouble.

Beckham texted again. [Mr. Yarde, do you need my help to get the project?]

Royce‘s message came in right after. [Need me to win Dickinson International first?]

Kayson rejected them after thinking about it. No matter how rich the older men were, they could not be the black sheep.

Sadie stared at the stage in a daze looking disappointed and sullen. Kayson sighed at the sight and took her bidding card to raise it. “$56,000,000.”

Shocked, Sadie grabbed the card. “What are you doing...”

She had already given up since she was unable to direct too much money from the company to invest in Dickinson International. If it was an additional $

2,000,000 or $3,000,000, she could fight for it but exceeding it by tens of millions was already out of her capability.

Eddy snorted inwardly and felt wealthy.“$70,000,000!”

Kayson told her in a hushed tone, “We aren‘t letting him have it easy even when we can‘t get the project. Don‘t worry, Ms. Wolfenden, I know what I‘m doing.”

Sadie understood what Kayson wanted to do, but she was still immensely worried. “What if he suddenly stops bidding?”

“Impossible. I know where to draw the line.” Kayson smiled. He had his darksoul, so he was able to sense Eddy‘s emotions clearly.

Sadie wanted to vent her frustration too, but it was more important that she would not be able to afford the consequences of exceeding the limit should they fail.

“$85,000,000!” Kayson raised the bidding card again.

Eddy was not backing down. “$100,000,000!”

He had the Osborns, Wolfendens, Millers, Friths, and Soulspring Pharmaceutical behind him! It felt like a joke to contest his wealth – he was the richest man in Skyriv today!

Kayson frowned when he felt the raging confidence in Eddy‘s emotions, so he stopped after raising the bid to $ 140,000,000

Eddy ultimately won Dickinson International with $ 155,000,000, and the outcome baffled even the auctioning staff. How could Dickinson International possibly be worth so much?

As for the other projects, Sadie was completely unable to bid on projects worth $42,000,000 and above, so she could only watch from the side.

Kayson comforted her. “Don‘t worry, Ms. Wolfenden. This project will be ours sooner or later. No one can take it away.”

“Can you not comfort me with impractical words like this?” Sadie asked speechlessly after glancing at him.

“I‘m serious!” Kayson said with a straight face.

Sadie did not even want to reply to that. Someone else had already won the project with a high price. How could it possibly come back to her?

Royce bid for a plot of land worth $70,000,000, while Beckham went for two plots of land priced more than that amount.

Half a day later, the bidding finally came to an end.

Sadie was no longer in the mood to stay around while Royce and Beckham were ushered elsewhere by the auction staff, so Kayson and Sadie returned to the Serene Villa directly

Sadie went back to her room glumly, probably to call Liam and tell him about the situation, while Kayson left the villa with his brows knitted in a deep frown.

Gael appeared before him. “Who angered you, sir?”

“Gael, keep Ms. Wolfenden safe. I‘m heading out for a bit,” Kayson told him.

“Sure!” Gael nodded.

Kayson took a cab to go straight to the Tinsleys.

At Waylon‘s office...

Taylor was currently sitting across from Waylon. Waylon had just arrived at his office today when Taylor came for a visit soon after. The man had said that he was here for a drink, and Waylon could not possibly turn him away.

Taylor was a patrol from Eternalporium . Waylon had to treat him properly, regardless. He just did not understand

why Taylor would visit him so suddenly. After all, he had bruised the man‘s ego the night before yesterday.

Taylor chatted with Waylon casually, and a few hours flew past. When it was around lunchtime, Taylor suddenly got up to bid goodbye.

An ominous feeling filled Waylon when he caught the delight in Taylor‘s eyes, but his face only fell after the latter left

Swenson appeared in time with a grim expression.

“He was stalling for time.”

Waylon shook his head. “No, his main purpose was to stall me so I‘d be occupied... Is there anything particular going on today?”

Swenson shook his head. None that he knew of.

Waylon racked his brain with a frown until his phone

rang

“It‘s from Seth?”

The moment he answered, Seth spoke immediately. “Mr. Pattingson, Dickinson International‘s gone to the Millers.”

Waylon froze before he was struck with realization!

“It‘s Taylor Yost!”

Waylon scowled. It was just a Dickinson International project, but Taylor insisted on rubbing it in his face.

“Can you brief me about what actually happened, Mr. Jackson?”

Seth told him about the bidding, and Waylon replied calmly, “Looks like Mr. Jackson has taken Kayson‘s side. This is not what I expected.”

Seth chuckled. “Please keep it a secret, Mr. Pattingson.”

After they ended their conversation, Swenson asked, “ What do you plan to do?”

Waylon answered flatly, “What else can I do? The favor I owe Kayson isn‘t returned if this isn‘t resolved. I can only try and repay this favor!”

He had already taken the initiative to draw the line with Kayson, but Taylor had to make his life difficult. In that case, he could not be blamed!

When Kayson went to the Tinsleys, Jeremy had found out

about the bidding outcome and rushed home.

“I‘m surprised there‘s still an accident when Mr. Pattingson‘s already involved,” said Jeremy. “Kayson, do you want to get in touch with him?”

Kayson shook his head. “No need. Let‘s try keeping him out of this if I can take care of it.”

Jeremy paused but said nothing more.

“Uncle Jeremy, I want all the information on the Perezs and Eddy Perez‘s particulars, down to the details of even how many lovers he has,” said Kayson.
