Chapter 1474

Corinne did not really like how Lucas was spoiling her kids.

"Mister Lucas, leave him aside for a moment. Has the bidding for the piece of land in Serenity Bay

started?"

Lucas turned to her. "I’ve already got it for you."

Relief immediately flooded Corinne when she heard that. "What was the final price?"

Lucas held up one finger.

Corinne narrowed her eyes. "One billion dollars?"

Lucas nodded. "The other patron from the opposite booth kept bidding against me, so that's why it

ended up being one billion dollars. But don't worry, I can give you the money if it's out of your budget."

The amount was indeed way, way over Corinne’s budget.

It was not that Holden Group could not come up with that kind of money, but even if the location of the

land was amazing, the size of it still could not justify the price of one billion dollars.

Overall, the value-to-cost price was pretty unreasonable.

All the patrons who were at the auction were wealthy people, but even so, they were not the type who

would willingly let other people rip them off.

'Who would be that stupid enough to buy that piece of land at a price far beyond the market price?'

wondered Corinne.

She smiled at Lucas and said, "Thank you, Mister Lucas, but I have the money. Though, I can't help but

feel something's off about the whole thing. Let me go check who the other patron in the opposite booth

is."

Lucas was well aware there was something off too, but he promised Corinne he would get the land for

her, so he did not stop bidding even when the price skyrocketed to an unreasonable amount.

He was willing to pay any amount to make Corinne happy.

However, Corinne was not willing to be ripped off, and neither was she willing to let Lucas do that.

Thus, she gently asked Joey to stay there and look after the twins before going out.

Lucas frowned and called out to her.

Even though she heard him, she did not stop walking. Instead, she opened the door and went out.

Lucas wanted to chase after her, but reason told him he should stay to look after the three kids. What if

one of them went missing again?

Thus, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly.

Corinne strode over to the private booth opposite hers.

Miss Corinne, where are you going?" Edmund asked when he saw her coming out.

Corinne put up her hand. "Don't follow me. I'm just going to the opposite booth to take a look."

Worried about letting her go alone, Edmund decided to follow her from quite a distance away. He knew

she would not be too happy if he followed her too closely.

Corinne knocked on the door once she arrived at the other private booth.

"Come in," said a woman from inside a few seconds later.

The woman's voice sounded familiar to Corinne. 'Looks like my hunch is right,' she thought with a

raised eyebrow.

She pushed open the door and saw Sophia inside, sipping disinterestedly on her coffee alone.

Sophia still had not noticed it was Corinne who came in. She thought it was the waitress bringing in

some snacks for her. That was why she told her to come in without a second thought.
