Chapter 491 It’s 150 Million Dollars, 15 Dollars
Otto and Cyrus hailed from the Sinclair family, and there was a considerable age gap between them-with Otto
being 20 years younger than Cyrus. While it seemed highly plausible that Otto could be Cyrus’ son, this scenario
appeared impossible according to the timeline.
Chloe fell into a contemplative silence, scanning her surroundings and noticing the names ” Fairlight” and
“Briarlake” written on the right and left of the front row.
The auction was scheduled to commence in ten minutes.
Clearing a path through the crowd, Otto approached Joseph with a smirk on his face. “Mr. Joseph, I’ve heard so
much about you.”
Joseph glanced at the hand extended toward him, his expression filled with disdain. “What do you want?”
Otto froze for a moment, but he soon regained his senses and smoothly retracted his hand. His eyes narrowed
mischievously as he asked, “I was just wondering which property you plan on acquiring.”
“I haven’t made up my mind yet,” Joseph replied coldly.

Property auctions differed from other bidding events as they involved singular pieces of property, leading to intense
competition. Sometimes, only a few plots were available, and bidders had to consider factors like plot ratio and
potential real estate value.
It was evident that Joseph had no intention of divulging his plans.
Otto’s smile faded slightly as he shifted his gaze to Chloe, his smile deepening, exuding an unsettling and sinister
vibe. “Your wife is quite beautiful.”
Joseph’s face sank. “And?”
“No need to get defensive, Mr. Joseph. I’m simply admiring her beauty,” Otto replied.
“Stay away from my woman, or I might not be able to resist gouging your eyes out and feeding them to the dogs,”
Joseph retorted, his tone sharp as a razor’s edge as he shot daggers
at Otto.
Just as Otto was about to say something, the auction began and the emcee took the stage, ready to commence the
bidding. He shrugged and changed the topic. “Let’s talk after the auction. I have something to discuss with you.”
Joseph ignored him. He was worried that his emotions might affect Chloe, so he decided to stay silent.
Unknown to Joseph, Chloe was observant and asked, “Do you know Otto?”
“No,” Joseph replied.
“Then why are you treating him like an enemy?” Chloe inquired further.
“He’s just part of a group of rabble,” Joseph replied, his expression turning cold.
The auction proceeded, and Brairlake successfully secured the prime plot of land, but Joseph remained reserved,
showing no intention of making a move.
When there were only two plots of land left. The emcee smiled and announced, “The starting price is 80 million
dollars. You may begin bidding, everyone.”
Joseph was the first to raise his paddle.
The host followed, “Fairlight, 85 million dollars.”
Otto glanced at his assistant beside him, who immediately joined the bidding.
“Briarlake, 90 million.”
“Fairlight, 95 million.”

With a tug on his tie, Joseph parted his thin lips and announced, “150 million dollars.”
The whole room erupted into a commotion. After all, this small piece of land was quite ordinary and was located
near the outskirts. Even at 90 million dollars, it had already exceeded its intrinsic value, let alone 150 million.
Whispers circulated among the crowd as they speculated whether Joseph possessed some insider information they
were not aware of. The city council had recently allocated two highly sought-after projects to Fairlight. In the real
estate world, having access to exclusive
information was the key to success.
In an instant, others were eager to jump in and join the bidding, hoping to seize an opportunity for themselves.
Chloe glanced at the man beside her and asked in a hushed voice, “Is this a trick?”
Joseph’s eyes sparkled as he squeezed her hand, “You’re quite clever.”
“But what if Otto doesn’t fall for it? We’ll then have to pay for the land!” She expressed her
concern.
After all, 150 million dollars was no small amount. It was not 15 dollars. Besides, Otto did not seem like someone
who would easily fall for such a trick.
