Chapter 8 The Second Time-Unrepentant
When that price came out, the entire bar buzzed with gossip. All eyes were on them, looking at
them with an expression that seemed to say âare you crazy?'. How could they raise the price of an
item from 500,000 to 100 million? Don't you need to cough up the money for the price you bid?
Putting aside the spectators, even the battle-hardened auctioneer couldn't help trembling. This was
the most expensive item that had ever been sold at auction during his tenure.
â100 million going once... 100 million going twice...â Kate was stunned for a long while. Then, she
was pulled back to the present by Camilaâs actions. âCamila, do you have 100 million?â Camila
replied confidently, âNope.â Thus, Kate was both furious and anxious. âThen, why did you call out
the bid?!â âLandon has it. Besides, this Wuyou San formula will be used for his great-grandpa. So,
the money will come from him.â âBut, Landon has left!â Camila mulled over it and agreed. After that,
she turned around to look at the adorable little boy. âSouth, how much money do we have left?â
South took a sip of his milk and calmly replied, âWe definitely donât have 100 million.â By then, Kate
was so scared that she didnât even dare to breathe. It's 100 million! If that man refuses to increase
his bid, then we have to come up with that money ourselves! Where are we going to come up with
100 million? Isnt Camila worried?â The smile on Silas's face was becoming wider and wider, blurring
the lines between ridicule and insult. However, he did not increase his bid, and the auctioneer was
calling out for the third and final time. On the other hand, Camila quietly stared up at him without
giving in even an inch. Everyone could tell that these two were going up against each other. Thus,
all eyes spontaneously turned toward Silas right now. One second; two seconds; three seconds...
The silence in the air was so thick that one could have heard a pin drop in that room. Just when
everybody thought that he wasn't going to increase his bid anymore, that man with more money
than sense lifted his sign leisurely. â110 million.â She glared at him fiercely and did not call out
another bid. At the same time, she let out a breath of relief too. Then, she bent down, picked up the
little guy sitting in his seat, and walked out of the bar.
Although the Wuyou San formula was amazing, it could not compare to her medical skills. She knew
exactly what Landon's great-grandpaâs illness was, and it was something she could cure.
Tonight, I only wanted to give that man with an inflated sense of ego a small lesson anyway!
South wrapped his tender arms around her neck. âMommy, donât be angry. It will make you age
faster.â
Camila nodded in reply. âMy precious son is still the most caring of them all.â
Afterward, Kate sent the mother-and-son pair back to the La Grande Maison and returned home.
However, as soon as South got back to his room, he immediately sat in front of the computer again.
Camila was rather exasperated by his behavior. My son's love for computers is already bordering on
addiction at this point. Who could have imagined that the master hacker, Wily Rabbit, who came
and went freely across the internet, would be a child of no more than seven years old?
After Camila fell asleep, South's expression darkened again, Today, that unreliable daddy of mine
made Mommy mad again. I can't even bring myself to make Mommy angry; how dare he? Who
does he think he is?
Thus, his small hands nimbly flew across the keyboard, and he successfully infiltrated the Nolan
Group's internal system again. This time, he arrogantly left a four-syllable word-unrepentant.
