Chapter - 125

Lily flushed anxiously and yelled, “Emily! Y-You… TThat’s too much! Are you going to put the whole of my wedding gifts at stake?”

“Lily, we have to sacrifice this much to achieve a greater goal! Two hundred million is all it takes to own the Hamilton Group! It’s a bargain, right? If you’re that worried, we’ll get rid of it once we’ve acquired it! I’m sure we will be able to generate a few hundred million profits as well! Apart from that, I’m sure you don’t want Lacey to get ahead of you, right?”

Lily cast a stern gaze at Lacey when she heard Emily’s words.

She finally made up her mind and replied, “Fine! Two thousand million it is!”

Lacey was irritated as well, but she was in a tough spot.

She had placed great emphasis on the Hamilton Group. Lacey would spend three thousand or even four thousand million to acquire it, let alone two thousand million.

However, she didn’t have enough cash to support her.

She turned around and looked at Zeke sadly. “Zeke, can you please get me some money?”

Zeke replied with a smile, “Lacey, listen to me. It’s time to stop. Don’t worry! They’ll hand over the Hamilton Group to you unconditionally, even if they manage to acquire it.”

Lacey heaved a heavy sigh, “What sort of excuse is that? You don’t have to lie if you can’t gather the sum required!”

Zeke was speechless as he thought to himself./ can easily get you two hundred billion and blow your mind away!

Logan wouldn’t allow Lacey to raise the reserve price either.

He immediately announced, “Two thousand million going once… Two thousand million going twice… Two thousand million going thrice…”

“Congratulations to the honourable guest from suite three. They’re the new owners of the Hamilton Group! Please head over to the office immediately and carry out the necessary procedures.”

Emily heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Lily… I mean, Ms. Hinton, congratulations.”

Lily was on cloud nine when she heard how Lily had addressed her formally. “Ms. Clemons, I’m glad to have you on board. Hmph! The Williams family from Atheville are backing me as of now! Lacey can’t possibly outmatch me!”

Emily urged, “Let’s go! We still have to deal with the handover procedures.”

Lacey felt dejected as she dragged her feet out of the auction hall.

After all, it wasn’t merely the Hamilton Group that she had lost. An opportunity for her to join the upper echelon that had also been sacrificed.

Lacey was about to get into the car, but Zeke stopped her abruptly. “Lacey, let’s stay back for a short while. There’s a great show coming up soon.”

Lacey was befuddled as she asked, “What sort of show?”

Zeke turned around to look at the auction hall. “You’ll figure it out soon. The female protagonist is about to show up.”

Lacey looked at Zeke in disbelief. She hesitated for quite some time but decided to stay in the end.

After all, Zeke had never once let her down.

Before long, Emily and Lily walked out of the auction hall.

They had bright smiles on their faces, feeling full of themselves.

Mr. Hamilton from the Hamilton Group was once

The sort of person they longed to be.

However, a dream that once seemed unachievable was merely one step away. They would soon become someone admirable like Mr. Hamilton.

This is the best feeling in the world! I can’t believe I get to be the sort of person I’ve always longed to be!

Lily couldn’t hold herself back and approached Lacey to show off her achievement the moment she saw her.

“Lacey, why are you still around? Do you wish to collaborate with us?”

Lacey was at a loss for words as her mind was all over the place.

Zeke stepped forward and replied on her behalf instead. “Lacey, do you still remember what I told you ten days ago?”

Lacey was confused. “What?”

“In ten days, the Hamilton family’s assets will belong to the Hinton family.”

Pfffft!

Lacey and Emily couldn’t hold back their laughter. “It turns out you’re right!”

“The Hamilton family’s assets belong to the Hinton family as of now, but it belongs to Lily Hinton instead!”

Zeke piped up, “Nope! It’s Lacey!”

Lily laughed arrogantly, “Who gave you the audacity to utter such words?”

Zeke turned around and looked into the distance.

A fleet of luxurious cars was making its way to the auction house.

He smiled. “They’re the ones who have given me the audacity.”
