But Cole Smith just quoted such a price, and now Lawrence is the one being roasted under the fire.

Others may not know the net worth of Cole Smith, but who among those people in the Boston consortium is not aware of Rao's net worth?

Apart from anything else, the stocks of the 27 companies controlled by KY Investment Fund alone were enough to equal the combined wealth of half of the people present. Compared to this mysterious guy, even Alfred Lowell couldn't help but shake his head.

But, they just quoted a price of 50 million!

Follow! Or not?

The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall instantly turned into a more bizarre one. Except for the calm and composed old Paul, even Skaif couldn't help but reveal an anxious look on his face.

Now the situation is very clear. The Mellon family has been on the same boat with Cole Smith for a short time. No matter how much Cole Smith bids, as long as he can win the bid in the end, whether it is $100 million or $1 billion, the Mellon family must listen - not accepting the amount Cole Smith bids is the lowest limit for the Mellon family. After all, he is now looking for face for the Mellon family. Both old Paul and Scaife are very clear about this.

But the problem is that Cole Smith is actually fighting against a behemoth called the Boston Consortium. Can he hold on?

Even if the Mellon family is now on the same boat with Cole Smith, it is impossible for them to openly support Cole Smith now.

The Boston Consortium can shamelessly and blatantly support Harper Lawrence, but the Mellon family, as the host, cannot directly support Cole Smith. Everything depends on how Cole Smith deals with the current situation.

The white gloves on the stage shouted loudly: "Fifty million for the first time!"

His voice was so abrupt and so hoarse, but no one paid attention to it now. Now all the guests in the banquet hall turned their attention to Harper Lawrence, which had just provoked the bet. They all wanted to see what Harper Lawrence, which was always known for its toughness and various forms of defiance, would do in the face of Cole Smith's response of up to 50 million.

Alfred Lowell, who was about seven or eight meters away from Harper Lawrence, had almost broken his back teeth, but there was nothing he could do now. Just when he spread his hands and shook his head to show helplessness to old Paul, the matter had already risen to a serious level.

The Mellon family did not use their home court to cancel the auction directly. Lowell naturally could not shamelessly support Lawrence again. If he dared to do so, the wrath of the entire Mellon family would be waiting for him! Even though Lowell was the core figure of the Boston consortium, he could not resist this wrath.

The Boston Consortium is different from the Mellon family. The latter is a family with blood ties, while the Boston Consortium is just a consortium with interests as its bond. No matter from which angle, the Boston Consortium is not as united as the Mellon family.

"Fifty million for the second time!" In any case, the white glove auctioneer was invited by the Mellon family. After receiving a secret hint from Timothy Mellon, the auctioneer gritted his teeth and said this.

As the auctioneer raised the hammer high and was about to bring it down, Harper Lawrence, with a pale face, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Five million and one hundred thousand!"

The auctioneer raised his hammer and was about to smash it down when he almost sprained his back.

The auctioneer glanced at Harper Lawrence with a resentful look on his face, then gritted his teeth and said, "Five million and one hundred thousand! The price quoted by this gentleman is five million and one hundred thousand!"

There was a clear and audible booing in the hall.

What the hell are you doing? Can't a grown man be more honest? Even if you report 51 million, you'll still be a man! What's the big deal about reporting 50.1 million? Are you learning from that Cole Smith?

Yang Jing shook his head indifferently and gave a number calmly: "Maruhan Zhuodemilin!"
