The host, noticing the lack of interest from the audience, decided to accelerate the process.

“Now, 2 million going once, 2 million going twice, 2 million…”

Suddenly, Mary lifted her card, her expression inscrutable.

“Miss Number 21 bids 2 million. Any higher bids?” The host’s eyes lit up with excitement. She had not anticipated anyone actually bidding.

“Two million. Anyone else?”

As the host spoke, many people looked at Mary. There was also some disdain in their eyes.

Land 6 was the most insignificant among all the lots. Most people skipped over it without even bothering to look at the information.

However, Mary surprised everyone by making a bid for it. True, two million yuan wasn’t a large amount, but no one was willing to take a risk on a piece of land that would only pay off after ten or twenty years. They believed it simply wasn’t worth it.

This was how it was at auctions. Those who were on Gwyn’s level wouldn’t care about this kind of land, and small companies wouldn’t waste a single cent on it.

Although many people didn’t know Mary, they still had some doubts when they saw Gwyn beside her.

Could it be that Gwyn asked her to bid? But why didn’t Gwyn bid for it himself? Was it because he had scruples, or was there some other insider information?

There were also people who wondered if Gwyn had gotten some insider information. What was so special about this piece of land?

However, most people still thought Mary was just casually bidding, and no one competed with her.

Bob watched all of this quietly because he was sitting a few rows behind Mary and couldn’t see her expression clearly.

However, he still had a vague feeling that something was not right. He wanted to bid as well, but he represented the company and could not participate in the auction casually.

Although he had doubts, he could only give up.

“Congratulations to Miss Number 21 for bidding for Land No. 6! ” As the host hammered the hammer, Mary finally felt relieved.

Her last move was to catch others off guard. If she was impatient at the beginning, someone might follow suit.

Mary was elated that she had won the bid for only 2 million. Considering the future prosperity of the Hall Shopping Center and the escalating price of land, she couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

Gwyn sensed her excitement and gently squeezed her hand, and Mary held onto Gwyn’s big hand in return. Mary looked at Gwyn with her eyes full of excitement and love.

Bob had been observing Mary and Gwyn. When he saw the two of them looking at each other gently, he had an indescribable feeling.

Seeing Mary get up and leave the venue, Bob hurriedly followed.

Before Mary could reach the bathroom, she was stopped by Bob.

Mary frowned and was a little unhappy. “What’s the matter?”

“Mary, don’t be like this. Are you still angry?” Bob’s gentle face belied his manipulative nature as he spoke to Mary. “Congratulations. Did you get the land you like? Two million is really a good deal!”

Although Gwyn had indicated an interest in bidding on Number 6, Bob had initially dismissed the land as unworthy of bidding. However, Mary’s bid had left him with a nagging sense of doubt, prompting him to seek clarification on his suspicions.

Mary responded with a calm expression, “Yes, Gwyn asked me to bid for land No. 6. I’m happy that we got it at such a low cost.”

“Did Gwyn ask you to bid it?” Bob narrowed his eyes, trying to determine if Mary was telling the truth.

Mary looked at him as if he was a fool and said, “What else? Do you think I’m crazy enough to buy a piece of land? If there’s nothing else, move aside. I want to go to the bathroom.”

Mary pushed Bob away and rolled her eyes at him before she left.

Bob did not continue to pester Mary. He had already heard the answer he wanted to know. This was also the truth that he had always believed.

Bob was not surprised that Mary could spend two million on things like jewelry or renting a yacht based on his understanding of her

Although the Jones family had declined to the point where she was the only one left, Mary’s life was more extravagant than that of ordinary nobles because of Gwyn.

However, there were still many procedures to follow after bidding for a piece of land with two million yuan. Mary would not have the patience.

Bob fell into deep thought as he considered what Julie had told him about Mary’s supposed knowledge of the stock market from Gwyn.

He began to contemplate the upcoming land auction in a month’s time and wondered if Gwyn’s inside information would lead to a significant increase in the value of the land being sold.

“Looks like my luck is really going to change.” Bob looked at Mary’s back as she left and revealed a mysterious smile.
