Chapter 1318 The Bidding Begins
“Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your seats as we begin the auction.”
Reggie Galloway, an actor dressed in an opera costume, raised her hand and announced, “We’ve placed silver coins on each auction table. The items on stage will be auctioned using these coins. As per the rules, the highest bid wins.”
The crowd started looking down before realizing that those were real silver coins.
“One piece of this must be worth quite a lot, right?”
“What about it? Would you dare to steal something
from Serenity Hotel?”
The fact that the coins were from 1914 showed just how many more
here.
Valuable treasures there must be
As Wynter examined the silver coin, her curiosity about Serenity Hotel’s current owner grew. Once this event was over, she planned to investigate who was behind such a unique establishment and when it was established.
As Wynter pondered these thoughts, the man hidden on the other side of the wall inexplicably felt a chill run down his back.
“Lot 1 is now up for bidding, with an opening price of one silver dollar. Any interested parties may raise their paddles to place a bid,” Reggie announced.
Lot 1 was a phone holder. Wynter didn’t need to think twice to understand its significance. It represented live commerce. It had become a popular trend where these platforms were used to enhance industry visibility.
Wynter glanced down at the pile of silver coins on her table and realized she couldn’t compete with Yvette in terms of quantity. The competition for such a sought–after item was bound to be intense. However, she was more than willing to use up Yvette’s silver coins.
Without consulting anyone around her, Wynter raised her bidding paddle. This spontaneous move caused a few newcomers to furrow their brows, while others wore peculiar, amused expressions.
Seeing this, Kenton’s confidence grew. He flashed a knowing smile, signaling Yvette to raise the bid. Before coming here, he had emphasized that they should focus on securing the network–related project and not worry about other items.
The project and resources behind Lot 1 were crucial to them, and they were determined not to let it slip away, especially not to the Quinnell family.
Kenton was confident that the reason Wynter was quickly accepted by the Quinnells was due to her strong online presence and her ability to generate positive sentiment for the Quinnell family.
Old, established businesses in Kingbourne were too set in their ways and lacked adaptability. But Hawford was different.
Take Club Solstice, for example. No one could compete with Kenton’s expertise in online marketing. The tactics Wynter used were just leftovers from his own playbook. If she wanted to challenge him, he would be more than happy to teach her a lesson on how things were supposed to be done.
“Alright, Ms. Yates has bid ten coins. Does anyone have a higher bid than ten coins?” Reggie asked.
Wynter continued to raise her bidding paddle. Despite having a maximum of only 18 silver coins on her

table, her pace remained unrelenting. “12 silver coins.”
Someone whispered, “Isn’t she bidding too aggressively?”
“It seems like she might not have fully understood the rules. Once her coins are used up, she won’t be able to bid on the more suitable items that come next.”
“Should we ask Mr. Whitman to advise her?”
“It seems like Mr. Whitman is allowing it.”
Taylor remained silent as he observed. As he watched, he suddenly realized what Wynter was up to. He thought to himself that Wynter had indeed not changed at all. She had always been mischievous yet endearing.
No matter how badly she behaved, he still had to play along with her. He raised his right hand slightly, signaling a gesture that seemed to be a serious attempt to dissuade Wynter.
The Wray family, watching from across the room, felt a deep sense of satisfaction. “That young lady from the Quinnells is getting desperate. She probably hasn’t realized that the biggest taboo in business is showing what you really want.”
