Chapter 29: Ignored

Looking at the documents on his desk, Bob frowned.

Not only did the document contain the details of the auction, but it also contained Gwyn’s intentions. Bob had spent a lot of money to find out about this.

He didn’t believe that Gwyn would tell Mary about such an important matter. After all, it was a piece of land worth hundreds of millions. Even if he told Mary, Mary might not understand, so Bob still believed in his investigation.

Although Bob’s business ability was average, he could see that Gwyn had chosen Lands 1 and 12 with potential. The competition would probably be fierce when the time came.

But number six? Bob really couldn’t understand.

The piece of land was situated in a very secluded area. The city had been flourishing but it was primarily concentrated in the southeast, which included the coast and the old center of the urban area.

More than 70% of the population lived here, so all the industries were thriving. However, the southwest had also been developing well in recent years.

It was a desirable location since almost all the people from the surrounding cities were concentrated there.

However, the problem with Land No. 6 was that it was located in a remote and sparsely populated area in the northwest direction. Furthermore, the land on both sides was owned by different companies, making it difficult to coordinate and develop the area.

Previous developers who had invested in the project funds had been deceived by false promises of progress, and ultimately found no one willing to invest in the area. Adding to the issue was the fact that Land No. 6 was an irregular piece of land, making it difficult to determine how to develop it in the future.

If one had to say the advantage of Land No. 6, it would probably be that it was cheap. There were a total of 12 pieces of land for auction. Number 6 should be just to make up the numbers. The possibility of it being unsold was the highest. Then why did Gwyn choose this piece of land?

Originally, Bob had wanted to follow Gwyn’s decision and try his best. He might be able to earn more money, but after all, he had limited funds and could not squander them casually.

Bob massaged his aching eyebrows and decided to wait and see what the auction would be like.

Mary, who had never attended any public events with Gwyn, insisted on going to the auction this time.

“Are you really going?” Gwyn asked in disbelief.

Mary rolled her eyes and rubbed her sore waist with one hand. “Of course, I must go to bid Land No. 6.”

Gwyn felt a little ashamed when he saw Mary’s actions. Ever since that time, Gwyn had been unable to control his sexual desire and had sex with Mary for a few hours every day.

In the end, he was kicked out of bed by Mary. He had to swear repeatedly that he would not touch her anymore before he was allowed to return to bed.

Gwyn also sat down and gently rubbed Mary’s waist. He said in a fawning manner, “Then I can bid it for you. It won’t be a problem.”

“This won’t work!” Mary said unhappily, “If you bid for it, everyone will know that this piece of land has development potential. We could buy it for a few million, but if you bid on it, the price may go up several times higher in the end. I’ll go instead. They won’t suspect that I know the value of the land. Maybe no one will compete with me.”

Gwyn arched an eyebrow. Truth be told, he didn’t place much value on this particular piece of land. He also believed that Mary didn’t quite grasp the situation. However, seeing her confident expression, he hesitated to express his opinion that she might not fully understand the land’s worth.

“If I were to tell her that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep with her tonight,” Gwyn thought to himself.

In the end, under Mary’s coaxing and persuasion, Gwyn reluctantly agreed.

At the auction, Bob was slightly taken aback when he saw Mary appear.

Mary had dressed up for the occasion, wearing a dark green tube top skirt with diamond embellishments and a simple diamond necklace. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, giving her a touch of glamour.

She didn’t put on heavy makeup and held Gwyn’s arm intimately with a faint smile on her face.

For some reason, when Bob saw her like this, he could not help but think of Mary’s charming appearance on the day they eloped. He could not help but lick his lips.

Bob was about to step forward when Gwyn glared at him.

He didn’t want to confront Gwyn here and could only sit back in his seat awkwardly.

The auction had reached its climax right from the start. Land 1 happened to be the center of the auction. Gwyn had also joined the auction, and several companies were constantly bidding.

In the end, Land No. 1 was sold for 340 million. Gwyn smiled. He was determined to get Land No. 1.

As for the middle few pieces of land, they were relatively ordinary, so Gwyn did not make any more moves. However, the atmosphere at the venue was lively, and the final auction price was not bad.

The auction fell into a strange silence when Land No. 6 appeared.

“No.6 may be a bit remote from the city, but its price is attractive. It is situated between two developers’ lands and has limitless potential for the future. Has no one made a bid? The starting price is 2 million.” The emcee maintained her professional smile. She knew very well that the lot numbered six was most likely going to be a failure.
