Jonah felt his whole body stiffen and remain in place. At that moment, he was completely confused about what action to take as the shame shattered his confidence.

Of course, he had understood the elderly man's last sentence. But he never thought such a matter would get on his nerves, given his status in society.

In the midst of the embarrassment, Jonah quickly pleaded in a stutter, "I'm sorry..."

"Keep the 'sorry' to yourself and give me a bit of distance to think properly!" Benjamin retorted instantly.

Jonah wondered if there was more to the matter at hand that was unclear to him, as the embarrassment was too much for him to bear.

The rich heir couldn't raise his head to look at the disgust on people's faces as they stared at him. Then, he stylishly returned to Felicia and her team with a sheepish smile, trying to cover his shame.

"You don't have to worry about this, Felicia. I guess Mr. White isn't in a good mood right now."

The cold CEO of Santos Corporation nodded in pretense, agr

    The Big Four had their faces widen in surprise upon hearing this from Kate. They couldn’t appreciate their luck enough for meeting the noble lady again today.They seriously needed her help, and they had tried all possible means to meet her and request her assistance.Aside from last night, when they luckily met her at the Eclipse Hotel but couldn’t get the help they needed, they never knew when they would meet her again.Luckily for them, she showed up at the auction and willingly came to help them.The Big Four couldn’t thank their luck enough.They quickly exchanged glances, worried about how to make good use of this opportunity that had gently come to them.Nothing else came to their mind other than getting rid of Roderick first.He had been their obstacle yesterday. They thought that if they didn’t want the same issue to come up this time, they needed to make Kate see how useless Roderick was and get him kicked out on the spot.Then Benjamin began with a sheepish smile, “Miss Bol

    The whole crowd was dumbfounded upon hearing that, especially the big four. They couldn't believe Roderick's ignorance had led him to find interest in a useless piece of land.They all laughed silently. In the end, they concluded that only a useless fellow would find value in a worthless parcel. It's very simple logic.What a pity!What a waste of resources!As for Christina, her head was buzzing with serious disgust and anger. She was gobsmacked and couldn't believe her ears that Roderick had gone for such a useless land. She wondered if Roderick even knew what he was saying at all.Did he just say he was interested in land on the outskirts of the city that serves no purpose?Christina tried hard to understand his intention in making such a request, but it was difficult for her. Was he trying to save face by purchasing any available land so they wouldn't return to the office empty-handed?Or was he just clueless about what kind of land they needed for the project and thought they cou

    Christina tried to maintain a cool tone as she asked her boss calmly, "Miss Bolton, what do you think of the matter now that the highly potential land has fallen into someone else's hands?"Kate's face showed a bit of worry, and she shook her head gently. She was at a loss for words, unable to understand why Roderick had hesitated in acquiring the land.Given that he had informed Kate of the research he had done, she didn't want to intervene, believing he knew more about the land than she did.Moreover, since Roderick had spent years in Glacia City, she believed he knew more about the city's land than she did.Of course, she understood Christina's fight for the land in Bellmore.Undoubtedly, Bellmore is indeed a perfect location for their upcoming gigantic hotel project.It doesn't just have a bustling environment; the location also has continuous and future potential.They had many opportunities to acquire the land, but unfortunately, they slept on it, and now it has ended up in Cale

    Christina's eyes widened in shock, and her jaw dropped to the floor as she couldn't lift it, hearing her boss's words.It was as though she had gone into a trance, repeating Kate's statement in her head a thousand times.She was utterly stunned and wondered if her boss knew what she was saying at all.The crowd was already bidding for the hotcake land, which would be the best parcel for their upcoming project. Yet, they hadn't made any move on the land.Meanwhile, the only reason her boss mentioned it was because Roderick Holmes knew more about the property.Who the fuck is Roderick?What the hell does he know about property?Unarguably, he knows nothing about business, nor does he have any knowledge about securing land properties.Why her boss was relying on such a person was what was giving her a serious headache at this time.Can't she even decide on her own business anymore? Why does she have to give all the power of decision-making to some novice?Christina couldn't let things be

    The hatred the Big Four have for Roderick this time is many times greater than what they had always felt for him.Their faces twisted in increasing disgust the longer they stared at him.They couldn't believe how lucky they had been to meet Kate last night, given how long they had been longing for the opportunity.It was crazy that they were already close to achieving their goal—getting the lady to connect them with the miracle doctor after pleading for her forgiveness for their offenses. That was until Roderick happened to be their obstacle.They could only wish he hadn't been at the scene last night when they met Kate. There was a high chance they would all be relieved of their pain by now if they had met with the miracle doctor.Benjamin's face was the most bitter among his colleagues. The pain of the situation Roderick caused made his heart throb. If only he could disclose this matter to his colleagues.Painfully, it was a very disgraceful and embarrassing matter that he had to ke

    Kate nodded slowly and said, "We don't have much to discuss. What was the outcome of the research you conducted concerning the land, Mr. Holmes?" the young lady asked politely.Roderick relaxed back in his seat and responded, "The results I found didn't show anything negative about the land. I advise that we should visit the auction to make a choice.""That's a good idea. We should get going now, as there are only a few minutes left before the auction begins," Kate advised. They wouldn't want to arrive late.Christina still wore a frown when Kate remembered something. "We now have a partnering company, and we should work hand in hand to make decisions that will help us achieve our goal for the project."Roderick nodded in agreement with her point.However, Christina was still trying to understand where her boss was heading until she heard her say, "Christie, reach out to the Santos Corporation to join us at Central Hall so we can make a choice together."This statement sounded unbelie
