The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 920:

Thiago remained where he was, hands still in his pockets. “Alright, Mr. Russell. Come at us whenever you like. We’ll be ready.”

Thiago’s eyes flicked to Tina’s father and brother, his tone mocking. “Wasn’t it Ethan who talked about a surprise on the phone? So why lash out at Brenna? Seems like Ethan scares you, so you take it out on a girl instead. The Russell family sure has guts!”

Indignation darkened both men’s faces. “We will not let Ethan off easily!” Tina’s father snapped, fury leaking from every word.

A huff of anger escaped him before he settled into his chair.

Thiago also sat down, then tossed a remark Brenna’s way. “The Russell family members—all of them are cowards and fools.”

Not far off, Rosie’s mood was a storm; frustration etched deep lines across her face. Were it not for her plan to bid on property today, she would have marched out and scolded Tina. How could Tina be so stupid?

Business finally took center stage as the auction got underway. Thankfully, every guest already held a booklet listing the items, so the broken electronic screen wasn’t an issue.

The auctioneer’s voice rose above the crowd, announcing today’s offering: 692 acres of land, split into a dozen lots. The largest—127 acres—came with a hefty opening price of four billion.noveldrama

Brenna only wanted a piece of land that was big enough for an office building, so such a large plot didn’t interest her. She watched from the sidelines while the bidding war raged. Every new offer had to jump by at least 10 million.

The hall was packed, with at least 200 people, all representing different companies. Initially, over thirty companies competed for the plot.

Prices shot skyward, climbing to eighteen billion, forcing the smaller players to back out one by one.

When the dust settled, just three contenders remained: the Russells, the Wagners, and Brenna.

While Brenna didn’t need the land for herself, the last thing she wanted was to let the Russells walk away with a bargain. If they managed to win, she’d see to it that it cost them dearly.

“20 billion!” Brenna’s voice rang out as she placed a new bid, raising the stakes.

A sharp turn of Denis’s head brought his disbelief to Brenna. “Have you lost your mind? Do you even have that kind of money?”

While he was aware of her recent windfall—over thirty billion landing in her accounts—he couldn’t believe she’d actually pay so much for this deal.

Brenna dismissed him with a calm look, her gaze drifting to where Tina’s father sat. Just as expected, he quickly countered, pushing the price up by 10 million.

A sly smile played on Brenna’s lips. “What’s with the tiny bump, Mr. Russell? Do you not have enough money for this?”

A glare shot her way from Tina’s father, but Brenna didn’t care. Intent on securing the land for Judy, Denis wasted no time, boldly raising his offer to 21 billion.
