“Mrs. Collins, you might not get it, but we Murphys have to nail this piece of land today.”
“So what?” Louisa couldn’t care less about whether they got it or not; she just walked right past them.
The four security guards at the entrance recognized Kenneth and Louisa, bending over backwards to
welcome them: “Mr. Collins, Mrs. Collins, welcome! Come on in.”
“Has the founder of QY arrived?” Louisa asked coolly.
“She hasn’t arrived yet, but I’ll send someone to let you know as soon as she does.”
They’ve been to these auctions a bunch of times. The security guards all knew Arabella, the young
founder of QY.
“Alright.” Louisa, arm in arm with her husband, went in.
“Mrs. Collins seems to have a bee in her bonnet about us. She’s always so sharp–tongued, Olga
grumbled, watching Louisa’s retreating figure.
Even though the Collins did have money, the gap between them and the Murphys wasn’t small. Louisa
always talked down to the Murphys, making them feel pretty damn small.
“She can afford to be, so once we get in there, you better be on your best behavior. Try to get on their
good side. If we score this land, we’ll be rubbing elbows with them quite a lot.”
“Alright.” Olga watched Louisa walk away, thinking, How the hell did she get so lucky to marry a top dog?
Just then, a car pulled up nearby.
A stern–faced, impressive man got out, and Yolanda couldn’t take her eyes off him.
What a hunk!
He was nothing like the other two men she had met at Dawn Restaurant. This man was tall and
handsome, radiating a strong aura.
She had met him at a design competition before. She knew he was the big shot of the Collins Group,
the current top dog of Solterra.
Seeing him, Attlee immediately went over and said, “Mr. Collins, long time no see. Are you here for the
auction? I saw your parents had already gone in. I was wondering where you were. Speak of the devil,
and he shall appear.”
Hans Collins just gave him a glance and looked away. Clearly, he didn’t remember Attlee.
The secretary following Hans simply held out a hand to stop Attlee from approaching further.
Olga felt a little awkward. No matter who they greeted today, they all seemed indifferent.
Huh, wait till they’re top at the of the heap. Let’s see if they dared to treat them like this.
Thinking of this, Olga noticed her daughter’s smitten look and couldn’t help but say, “Smitten, huh?
That’s the kind of man you should aim for, not Zachary! You need to think big; reel him in like you did
with Zachary.”
“Mom, don’t worry; I know what I’m doing.” Yolanda watched the man’s retreating figure and made up
her mind. If she found someone better, she’d blow off Zachary in a heartbeat.
“Let’s not stand around here. Let’s go in.”
There was still half an hour before the auction officially started. Attlee planned to mingle with the big
corporations after they got in.
“I have to tell you this in advance; be as friendly as you can when you see Bella. Got it?”
“Whether Bella is willing to make peace with us or not doesn’t really matter if we manage to buy this
land.”
“That’s short–sighted. Considering Bella’s resources and connections, we’re better off making a friend
than an enemy!”
Hearing Attlee say this, Olga nodded, “True that.”
