Chapter 298

"What makes that darn dog so great? Is it as good-looking as me? Is it wealthier than me? Is it as captivating as me? Why does she love it so much?' Charlie thought expressionlessly. "When I have the chance, no, when she isn't home, I will kick the stupid dog out so it doesn't disrupt the valuable time I spend with my wife and son."

After a long time, Kamryn and Eugene reluctantly went downstairs, hand in hand, and saw Charlie sitting on the sofa with a straight face, looking quite upset.

What happened? Was he unhappy?

Thinking about that, Kamryn tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she understood, and a mischievous smile suddenly flashed across her face.

After coaxing Eugene back to his room, she went downstairs with a smile, sat down next to Charlie, and leaned against him.

"What are you doing, Charlie?"

Her voice was soft and sweet.

Charlie squinted his eyes and glanced coldly at her.

He thought, 'She left her husband here to look at a dog! Does she recall my act of kindness for allowing the dog to finally come to please me? Or she remembers that she has been disregarding me lately and is here to spend some quality time with me for my forgiveness?

Kamryn always showed her feelings and thoughts on her face. How could Charlie not know what she was thinking at the

moment?

Therefore, he pretended to be indifferent and asked, "What do you want?" His voice was cold and emotionless.

"Are you upset, Charlie? Why?" she asked in a soft and sweet voice.

However, Charlie grew more displeased because he thought the name Charl was more intimate than Charlie.

"I'm sorry I haven't talked to you much recently. I know I was wrong. Don't ignore me, okay?"

Kamryn found it funny how he kept a straight face and refused to look at her. She put her hands on his face and turned his head towards her. After that, she gave him two kisses on his cheeks;

"Is that how she should kiss a human being? I'm not the stupid dog, thought Charlie unhappily.

He looked at her expressionlessly, his gloomy eyes scary.

But she had no fear of him. Even in the face of such a stare, she could still have a smile on her face as if nothing had happened. Then she said, as if she were coaxing a child, "Forgive me, okay? I've kissed you. Don't be upset!" Charlie narrowed his eyes, grabbed her chin, and bit her lips hard before saying fiercely. "Are you taking me for a child?"

"No! I'm not! You are doing me wrong!"

She screamed her complaints, but she was held in his arms and could not move.

He leaned in toward her and narrowed his eyes in a menacing manner. "Change the stupid dog's name!"

She shrank back uneasily and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why? The name Charl sounds so cute and reminds me of you!"

"Cute? Remind you of me?"

Charlie looked at her strangely and couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with her mind.

Or why would she have such a strange thought?

"Don't you agree? You're the father of the dog," said Kamryn seriously. "Your name is Charlie, so the name Charl is very fitting. It lets people know he's your dog just from his name."

Chapter 298

The father of the dog....

Charlie gritted his teeth and corrected her again, saying, "I told you, I'm a human being and it's impossible that the dog is my son!"

"Come on! Don't be so serious! You may not be related by blood, but you share a connection now."

"I don't think so! And I don't like it."

"What do you mean, you don't like it? You're going too far..."

When the two of them were bickering with each other, a pleasant ringtone rang out.

Kamryn hurriedly got up, walked to the other end of the sofa, picked up Charlie's phone, and glanced at the screen. "It's your subordinate."

She handed over the phone.

He took it and answered the phone.

Then she sat quietly beside him, not interrupting his phone call.

The voice on the line wasn't loud, so she couldn't hear what they were talking about. She only heard Charlie say briefly, "I see. Go ahead as planned. That's all."

With that, he hung up the phone.

She asked worriedly, "Urgent business?"

"No."

He shook his head and said, "The auction for the land in Silvester is starting soon."

She was stunned for a moment and soon realized what he meant.

"The Silvester land... The one you got from the Duarte family? It's going to be auctioned off today?"

"Yes, and it starts at 10 o'clock."

"Didn't the Duartes give you the land to keep you quiet? Why is it being auctioned off?"

She subconsciously looked at his phone. It was 9:40 now.

The auction would start in 20 minutes.

Charlie couldn't help but smile. He stroked her forehead and said, "Silly, the auction was decided more than half a year ago. Even though the Duarte family is willing to give me the land, they can't simply give it to me without following proper procedures. Otherwise, everyone will know that it's a bribe."

"That's right...

Kamryn blinked her eyes and understood. Then she slapped his hand away grumpily and said, "Don't you have to go there in person?"

"It's just a show. I don't need to show up."

He was too powerful and influential to attend the phony auction.

Besides, Zackery might not be happy to see him and would even be furious.

Charlie seemed to think of something interesting, and his thin lips curled into a mocking smile.

As they were lovey-dovey on the sofa, the auction for the Silvester land started on schedule.

In the municipal government building.

Jarred Solomon and Brandon Hinton were in charge of the auction.

Chapter 298

As one of the land owners, Zackery claimed that he was not feeling well and asked someone else to take charge instead of showing up.

Three hours later, the auction was over, and the signing of the contract took place.

No one knew that in the strictly confidential land auction, Glorise Consortium, the most powerful among all bidders, made

the lowest offer.

It bought the rights to develop the land in Silvester for just a few million dollars.

Although Zackery was mentally prepared, he still felt regretful in his office when he received the auction result.

Without the accident, the land would have been sold for over one billion dollars, but it only sold for a few million dollars!

No wonder Zackery refused to attend the auction on the pretext of not feeling well.

If he went and saw the land sold at such a big loss, he would definitely be furious and regretful.
