The Simon Yuna was like a quietly-blooming jasmine that was beautiful but not ostentatious. People always paid more attention to her heroic spirit, which was rarely seen among girls.

Her new persona was much more like a red rose in the center of the parterre. Her makeup was exquisite and she took the lead. She amazed the audience as soon as she appeared.

Wendy couldn't help but exclaim. Wesley's eye was good, for having noticed a woman like Yuna.

Her eyes had been following Yuna's back. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that something was wrong, as if something was going to break through the door of her memory.

Seeing this, Gavin stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Wendy. "What's there to see about her? Come back to your senses!"

Right at this moment, a figure jumped into Wendy's mind. She pushed away Gavin's hand and said faintly, "It's really her."

"I can't believe it took you so long to recognize it's Yuna." Gavin looked cold and disdainful. He then told her a big piece of news. "She's here to bid with us on behalf of Rowdy. So, how are you feeling now? Is it jaw-dropping?"

Wendy said in a hurry, "I mean, it was really her whom I saw in the hospital!" She tried hard to recall the figure she saw in the previous morning, which was exactly the same as the figure of Yuna who was walking farther away.

In other words, Yuna did go to the hospital the day before.

Gavin didn't pay much attention to Wendy's words. He replied "oh" with no interest. Just as he was about to sit up straight, he suddenly realized what she just said and stared at her. "You said you saw Yuna at the hospital? "Why would she go there?"

"I don't know." Wendy shook her head. "I saw her in the outpatient section of the first floor. I'm not sure if she was accompanying a patient to see a doctor or if she went for a consultation."

Gavin held his chin and stared at Yuna's back, lost in thought.

At this time, Yuna walked to the front row of the auction house and sat down. She turned her head to glance back indifferently.

Many men present stared at her fiercely as soon as she walked in. As she turned back, the back row immediately kicked up. Some people even whistled and hooked their fingers at her. The flirtatious meaning was obvious.

However, Yuna had just turned back to see Gavin and Wendy.

She glanced at them casually. As expected, she saw a startled look on Wendy's face but Gavin looked as if he was thinking about something.

It seemed that Wendy had indeed noticed her the other day. Gavin was probably wondering why she appeared at the hospital.

It wouldn't matter. She had been on the alert for that. They wouldn't find anything.

Thinking of this, Yuna sat down calmly and waited for the auction to officially start.

Just then, Gavin suddenly turned his head and said to Wendy, "Yuna may have gone to the hospital to see a doctor for herself."

"I don't think it's possible." Wendy felt a little doubtful. "She looks very good."

Gavin mysteriously raised the corner of his mouth. "Would Rowdy let her come to the auction if it the problem was visible?"

As he spoke, Gavin had already called Brian and directly asked him to send someone to check if there were any medical records of Yuna in the hospital.

After Gavin hung up the phone, the auction had officially started.

There were many developers eyeing that land covetously. As soon as the auction was announced, the bidding cards were raised frequently, and the auction soon became intense.

Only Gavin and Yuna refrained from raising their cards.

Gavin had planned to bid in the end to shock the whole audience. Yuna didn't raise her card because she suddenly received a call from Rowdy.

"The auction has begun, hasn't it?" Rowdy asked in a relaxed tone.

"It has begun." Yuna lowered her voice and said, "The man sent by Lambert Group is Gavin, who is very smart. I'm waiting for him to bid."

Rowdy agreed and said, "Lambert Group' budget is 20 billion and the upper limit is 28 billion. You can stop bidding after raising the price to 28 billion."

Groaning internally, Yuna felt as if something was falling rapidly in her heart, but she had to maintain a calm tone. "Why? "Didn't you tell me that you were bound to get this piece of land and you wouldn't let Lambert Group have it no matter what?"

"We didn't get all the approvals because of Brian's interference." Rowdy said, "If we buy this piece of land, Lambert Group will definitely intervene in our development document. "By then, this land may not make any money for us. It will even waste our time and energy. "Being the case, why don't we hand it to Lambert Group? But don't let them have it easily."

Yuna lowered her voice and said, "I've got it."

Hanging up the phone, Yuna's hand was feebly hanging close to her body. She was suddenly absent-minded.

She had sent an anonymous text message to Gavin the night before, telling him that Rowdy was determined to get that land.

She wanted Lambert Group to raise the price and not let Rowdy have it easily, because no matter how much Lambert Group offered, she would follow Rowdy's order to raise the price without limit and make Rowdy pay the greatest price to get the land.

However, a phone call from Rowdy had instantly reversed the roles. The Scott Group would be the one raising the price. If Gavin listened to her and kept raising the price, the one paying a great price to get that piece of land would be Lambert Group.

That way, she could no longer earn Brian and Gavin's trust. They would think that the purpose of her text message was to mislead them to raise the price.

Originally, she had planned to take this opportunity to win back Brian's trust and to carry out her future plan smoothly.

But Rowdy's call destroyed everything.

The most important thing was that she couldn't figure out why Rowdy changed his decision at the last minute. He was still determined to get the land the day before.

When the price had been raised to 19.5 billion by a developer, Yuna suddenly thought of a possibility-Rowdy still didn't trust her.

First, he pretended to be determined to make her believe that. Then, his orders left her no other choice but to raise the price. All of this was Rowdy's plan to prevent her from revealing information to Lambert Group.

"20 billion!!!" The auctioneer's high-pitched shout was heard on the stage, "President Lin of Greenline Enterprises offered 20 billion! "20 billion once, 20 billion twice..."

Yuna closed her eyes and raised the number card in her hand. "20.02 billion."

"Miss Xu, who represents the Scott Group, offered 20.02 billion!" The auctioneer continued to shout, "Is there anyone else offering a higher price?"

Twenty billion was not only the highest budget planned by Lambert Group, but also the limit of other companies; many people gave up after this point. When the auctioneer shouted, other people turned to look at Gavin in the back row.

In the whole auction house, they knew that Lambert Group was the only one who had the strength to compete with the Scott Group.

As it was long awaited, Gavin raised his card calmly. "22 billion."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the auction house suddenly exploded in cheers.

It was a project with a price above ten billion. Even the wealthiest company wouldn't raise the price in such a big way. Gavin's behavior was almost crazy.

Wendy couldn't help pulling his sleeve. "Do you have to be so fierce?"

Fierce?

Gavin liked that word very much. He raised his eyebrows complacently and said, "Wait and see."

Compared with Gavin's high-spiritedness, Yuna looked sullen. "He's raising the price crazily. Is it because he trusted my text message?" she thought. Should she stop right there and let Lambert Group get that land at a price of twenty two billion?

But if she stopped, how would she explain it to Rowdy after she went back? Would she tell him she was suddenly soft-hearted?

Even she wouldn't believe such an excuse.

Her being soft-hearted might ruin all the future plans.

"22 billion and 3..."

When the auctioneer was about to settle, Yuna raised her card again. "22.5 billion."

The people present looked at Gavin once again. Gavin, as if he didn't know what he was doing, calmly shouted, "25 billion."

Yuna tried her best to keep calm and said, "26 billion."

As soon as she finished her words, Gavin's unhesitating voice rang out again. "27 billion!"

27 billion! That was almost a sky-high price beyond most people's imagination. The auction house fell into a weird silence.

Other developers who participated in the auction were no longer curious about how much money would be used to make a deal for the land. Anyway, for Brian and the Scott Group, money no longer had the same meaning.

They were more curious about who would eventually get a hold of that piece of land.

Yuna closed her eyes and shouted out the final price. "27.9 billion!"

"Miss Xu of the Scott Group offered 27.9 billion!" The auctioneer's exciting voice echoed in the auction house. "27.9 billion once! "27.9 billion twice! "27 point..."

At the crucial moment, everyone's eyes were cast on Gavin at the same time, waiting to see how high the price he would offer in the end. However-

"27.9 billion, sold! "Congratulations to the Scott Group!"

Gavin did not make a sound and allowed the auctioneer to make the last call. The land was finally sold at a sky-high price, but the whole auction house remained utterly quiet.

Obviously, Lambert Group's final decision left everyone confused and shocked. Among all of them, Yuna was the one most shocked.

But after that, she let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Gavin had a little doubt about her. Otherwise, she would have stopped bidding once Gavin offered 28 billion.

"The auction is over. Miss Xu, please come to the office with me."

Everybody came back to their senses when they heard the auctioneer. They stood up to leave. Wendy and Gavin walked in front.

Wendy couldn't figure it out. She asked Gavin, "Why did you stop bidding? "Our upper limit was 27 billion?"

"Of course not." Gavin said, "The land price was raised to a super-high price. In fact, no matter it was 27 billion or 30 billion, it wouldn't make much difference for us."

Wendy was even more curious. "Then why did you stop bidding close to the end?"
