Chapter 296 Did She Seem That Kind?

Chapter 296 Did She Seem That Kind?

He had been oblivious to it all. At that moment, when he heard the bidding price, he had been on the brink of collapse from sheer rage. Where could he possibly have found the time to observe Samantha's expression? Now, as he listened to her speak, Noah tried to recall Samantha's face at that critical instant, but no matter how hard he tried, her expression cluded his memory.

But what did her expression matter to him at this point?

Wasn't the most pressing concern how to resolve the fifty billion-dollar dilemma? Noah fixed his gaze on Samantha and said, "Sam, you should know that in my heart, I trust you implicitly. You instructed me to write fifty billion on the bid, and so I did. And then..." Before Noah could complete his sentence, Samantha interjected, "And then, didn't you win the bid, Noah? Since you won the bid, that means I helped you, right?"

Certainly, she had been of assistance, but wasn't it evident she had inadvertently created more problems than she solved? Thanks to her, he found himself burdened with an additional forty billion for no discernible reason. The more he dwelled on it, the more infuriated he became..

Noah sighed deeply and said, "Sam, the reason I was able to win the bid this time is indeed thanks to you. However, the discrepancy in the bidding price is enormous. So, how about you speak with Finley? Ask him to honor the original bid price and sign the contract with me."

At the original price? What would Finley gain from that?

Moreover, if they signed at the original price, wouldn't she be helping Noah rather than complicating things further?

Did she appear to be that benevolent?

Helping Noah? He should abandon such fantasies.

Suppressing the rising revulsion in her chest, Samantha began to weave her words. "Noah, Finley is a man of his word. Since he allowed you to win the bid at fifty billion, there's no chance he'll agree to a contract at the original price. Furthermore, Noah, consider this: although you've incurred a loss of fifty billion now, once the project starts, you might recover your investment. There's even potential for profit.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

But more importantly, once you've partnered with Finley this time, there will be opportunities for future collaborations. A second chance, a third, even. As long as you maintain a connection with Dean- Corporation, your enterprise will surely flourish."

To ensure he believed her, Samantha continued her persuasive discourse. "Noah, Finley once told me that if I ever needed fifty billion, he would provide it immediately. To him, fifty billion is but a mere trifle. At that moment, I realized the extent of his wealth. And when you boldly placed a fifty-billion bid for his land, Noah, I thought you were equally affluent. After all, someone who can effortlessly offer fifty billion is truly remarkable."

Samantha's lavish praise swelled Noah's heart with pride. Yet, even as she showered him with admiration, a smoldering anger persisted within him. Fifty billion!
