Chapter 90 I Give Up
Everyone knew that even if Glen Corporation could not provide Gwyneth with the money she needed, she still had the support of AMC Group. The bidders in the auction thought that Gwyneth would find Emerald Trails not worth it and give up. However, that did not happen. In the end, they lost their bids.
Gaspard was not representing Glen Corporation that night, so there was no guarantee that he would be able to pay for the bid if the price. continued to rise. Gwyneth knew that, yet she still went up against him. It was clear to him that his daughter was trying to screw him over.
Gaspard gritted his teeth. His emotions were all over the place, and he was clueless about how to proceed.
“Dad, is it still possible? Should we just give up? I fear that…” Judy was watching everything on the side. Her palms were getting sweaty. and her heart was beating wildly. She knew how much Gaspard wanted to pay for Emerald Trails Project, but the current bidding price had
exceeded their budget by more than two times.
If they really wanted to bid for this project without the help of Glen Corporation, they would have to put everything on the line. Judy coming up with a good suggestion was a once–in–a–blue–moon phenomenon, but all Gaspard saw was red at that moment. He did not hear what Judy had said. Even if he did, he would have probably criticized her for it.
Gaspard stared at Gwyneth’s back and gritted his teeth. He could not care less if others saw him in this state. “That rotten bastard of a daughter! How dare she go against her own father like this! What a bastard!” said Gaspard with a low voice filled with rage. Veins bulged from his forehead, and he looked livid.
Over a dozen bidding rounds have passed; the only ones left in the game were Gwyneth and Gaspard. Everyone present was enjoying the show. After all, seeing a father and daughter compete for a location was rare.
“Mr. Gaspard has added another fifty thousand dollars to the pot. Do you want to raise the bid, Ms. Glen?”
Liam crossed his legs and looked at Gwyneth, who was beside him. ‘If I’m not mistaken, this woman’s end goal is not Emerald Trails,‘ he thought as an involuntary smile appeared on his face.
Elizabeth’s face darkened when she noticed Liam did not bat her an eye throughout the auction despite sitting next to him.
“Yes. I would like to raise half a million dollars!”
The previous increases were all tens of thousands of dollars. Nobody expected Gwyneth to raise half a million dollars, especially since they were nearing the end.
*This woman is ruthless!”
“Well, of course! She’s the CEO of two companies!”
“I wonder what Gaspard is feeling, being suppressed by his own daughter like this.”
The discussion behind Gaspard gradually grew louder, and he could feel his blood vessels about to pop. Logically, he knew he should stop bidding since it was way out of his price range. But with the atmosphere getting heavier, there was no reasoning with him.
All Gaspard could think about at that moment was even if he could not get the Emerald Trails Project, he did not want to make it easy for Gwyneth to obtain it.
‘This rebellious kid wants to cheat me? Okay. As her father, I’m going to return the respect! It’s time to retaliate!‘ Gaspard gritted his teeth. and directly held his sign up.
*Raise! One million dollars!”
‘Good,‘ thought Gwyneth. Hearing Gaspard’s desperate voice, she smiled uncontrollably, but her father could not see her.
“Mr. Gaspard has raised the bid by one million dollars. Ms. Glen, do you…”
“I give up.” Gwyneth put the bidding sign on the edge of her chair and shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not raising the bid this time,” she said.
Gwyneth’s comment made Liam’s smile widen. “I knew it!‘ he thought. ‘This woman would never pit against herself. She was out for revenge!‘
Gaspard looked like he was going to spit out a mouthful of blood. He would have collapsed at the auction if not for his strong body. Emerald Trails was a second–class project that almost cost him everything. The price was beyond measurable.
Feeling a hot, burning gaze behind her, Gwyneth turned around and saw Gaspard’s red eyes staring at her. She gently tilted her head. looking like she was innocent. She opened her mouth, and through her lips, Gaspard could tell that Gwyneth was congratulating him.
“Damn it. That evil…”
Gwyneth admired Gaspard’s expression and accepted that the man hated her. She then turned back around, content. The following auction items meant nothing to her, and her body was uncomfortable from sitting on a chair for so long. Gwyneth took advantage of the gap at the end of the project bidding and directly got up to leave, with Wanda following closely behind.
Elizabeth saw this, and something sparked inside of her. She turned around and looked at Kingsley, her eyes full of reminders.
