Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 675 Two Years Later, The Return of the King
In the heart of country E, nestled within the confines of the James family estate, Mr. L had exhausted every resource and consulted countless physicians before finally assembling the right medical team to treat Sadie. After three grueling months of intensive treatment, the poison that had once coursed through Sadie's veins was finally eradicated.
However, the aftermath of the treatment, coupled with psychological trauma, had left Sadie with a severe affliction - amnesia.
She had lost all recollection of her adult life, retaining only the memories of her parents and the blissful innocence of her childhood. Moreover, the onset of a thunderstorm would trigger debilitating headaches.
Despite these setbacks, Mr. L remained undeterred; everything would begin anew. He enlisted a team of professionals to guide Sadie, teaching her as one would a child, instilling in her a myriad of skills and business acumen with the intention of molding her into a bona fide member of the James family.
Two years later...
In Newark, at an auction event.
Newark had seen exponential growth over the years, emerging as the leading city in the domestic economy. Every available space had been developed, leaving virtually no vacant land. The Atlantic coastline was the sole exception, becoming a fiercely contested project among major business conglomerates worldwide.
The auction that day included several plots of land around the area and the ownership of 'Out of the Sea'. Given the significance of this land, numerous groups had come to vie for it, including the high-profile VIC Group. The group's CEO, known for his discretion, had delegated the task to the newly appointed vice president, Chloe, who was accompanied by the director.
The auction was in full swing, with each bid more aggressive than the last. The VIC Group, although arriving ten minutes late, instantly became the cynosure of the event. As the bidding escalated, the sea area had already been bid up to $20 billion, causing some businessmen to bow out. An emerging businessman dared to raise the bid to $20.5 billion.
Then, the VIC Group made their move. Under Mr. Wood's directive, Chloe raised her sign and bid a staggering "$25 billion!"
The venue erupted into a frenzy. The previous bidders had been incrementing by $50 million, maintaining a tense atmosphere. Chloe's audacious bid of $25 billion left no room for others to compete.
The Clemens family, renowned for their wealth and influence, were simply unmatched. The businessman who had previously bid cast a regretful glance at the auction platform and the VIC Group before reluctantly withdrawing. The auctioneer's voice rang out, "25 billion dollars going once! 25 billion dollars going twice! 25 billion dollars going..."
Suddenly, a chilling voice interjected, "30 billion dollars!"
The room fell silent as everyone turned to see eight black-clad female bodyguards parting the crowd, making way for a figure exuding an icy allure. Dressed in a tailored white suit, her hair casually tied back and her face adorned with minimal makeup, the woman radiated an extraordinary arrogance.
The woman, now the center of attention, was recognized by Chloe, who gasped, "Isn't that Miss Roth?" Ryan, equally stunned, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
By the time he looked again, the woman had already taken her seat next to the Clemens Group, her sign reading 'James Group'.
The room buzzed with whispers, "She's from the James Group." "The elusive Mr. L never makes an appearance. Who could this woman be?"
"Could she be his fiancée?" The auctioneer's voice cut through the murmurs, "Miss James bids 30 billion dollars. Does anyone wish to bid higher?"
