Chapter 824: "Starting at twenty million? He must not be short on cash either." "That is Zeke, the heir of the Cooper family from Pinetree City." "The acquisition of Evergreen Group caused quite a stir recently. His methods were nothing short of ruthless." "Wouldn't you like to see how a battle between the Cooper family of Pinetree City and the Ashton family of Lyhaton plays out?" "Is there even a contest? The Cooper family rules Pinetree City the way the Ford family dominates Lyhaton. The Ashton family, despite their show of wealth, is barely holding on. Everyone knows they have been on a downward spiral. Flattery aside, they are struggling to keep up appearances." "Even though Mr. Ashton is making bold bids tonight, how much has the Ashton family truly left to waste?" "It is not over yet. The final outcremains uncertain." Bruce heard every word.

Bruce's head snapped toward the opposite private box, his pulse quickening. Nate.

Yet Nate appeared entirely indifferent to the commotion he had just om caused. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, radiating an effortless aristocratic air. Not once did he even glance in their direction. Corrine arched a brow at him. "What are you doing?" "You don't want them to have it, do you?" Nate countered smoothly.

Corrine's lips curled into an amused smile. "Nothing escapes you, does it?"

Nate leaned in, his lips brushing close to her ear. "A man worthy of youm cannot be foo ordinary."
