Chapter 273 Auction
"He doesn't care about those things." Abella said warmly.
"For the first meeting, a gift is definitely necessary. When you have time, go to the apartment where I used to live, open the safe, and take out the jade in there. It was your grandfather's favorite treasure when he was alive, and he wanted to pass it on to his future son-in-law."
Abella knew the value of that jade ring. "No, keep it as a memento."
"Things gain value when they are passed down. It's also my little token of goodwill." Barbara patted her hand with a smile. "You must bring it for me. It's meant for my son-in-law, not for you."
"Alright." Abella smiled and chatted with her for a while until she became tired and fell asleep. Only then did she leave.
Two days later, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson successfully sold all the shares, houses, and shops under their name. They also borrowed a huge amount of money from various banks in the name of their corporation and secured several rounds of financing, finally qualifying to attend the auction.
The companies attending the auction today were all top international corporations, including QY, Q. Rowe Price, the Bourbon Group, the Medici Group, and other influential figures, even Mr. Walker participated.
Among these companies, the Wilson Group had the least influence, like ants compared to giants.
Mr. Wilson stood at the entrance, looking at the imposing grand gate in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Skylar, we must acquire this piece of land today. Once we have this land, the Wilson Group will definitely achieve a remarkable turnaround! All our problems will be solved!"
Mrs. Wilson became excited. "Our net worth will increase hundreds or even thousands of times. The Johnson family won't matter anymore! Isla, this is why I wanted you to dress up today!"
The people appearing here today were either wealthy or influential. As long as Isla caught the attention of one of them, they would definitely soar to success in the future.
The Johnson family won't matter, and Remy won't matter either. In front of these top corporations, they're nothing!
Isla was slightly excited. Ever since their last encounter, she felt that Remy was too ordinary and not worthy of her. If she could hook someone richer and more powerful here today, even if they were older, she could settle!
As they stood at the entrance, representatives from other companies walked past and saw them.
The family of three had arrived in exaggerated and extravagant attire, making passersby look at them with a puzzled and bewildered expression. They were attending a land auction today, but their formal attire seemed more appropriate for a banquet rather than this occasion.
Especially Isla, dressed in a strapless gown, stood out among everyone else who were wearing suits and work attire. Isla believed herself to be beautiful and eye-catching, smiling and nodding to people passing by. However, no one paid her any attention, thinking of her as a fool.
Isla couldn't understand why and didn't know what the issue was. Just then, a luxurious RV pulled up at the entrance. The formally dressed driver respectfully opened the door.
The first to step out was Mr. Medici, and immediately after, he reached out his hand to help Mrs. Medici out of the car.
Upon seeing them, Mr. Wilson quickly adjusted his clothes and approached them with a pleasant smile, saying, "Mr. Medici, Mrs. Medici, what a coincidence! Are you also here for today's auction?"
Confident with his full wallet, he seemed ready to engage with them. However, Mrs. Medici glanced at him coldly, thinking to herself, "What a fool! Smiling like that when they're practically bankrupt?"
She coldly replied, "Smile all you want. You won't have any chance in the future."
Mr. Wilson was taken aback, thinking that Mrs. Medici was referring to their Wilson Group's inability to bid on the land. He laughed cheerfully and said, "Mrs. Medici, you don't know it yet, but we are determined to obtain this piece of land today."
"Oh, it's none of my concern." Mrs. Medici dismissed him and walked past without a care.
The four security guards at the entrance immediately recognized the Medici couple and respectfully greeted them, "Mr. Medici, Mrs. Medici, you have arrived… Please come in."
Mrs. Medici asked indifferently, "Has the QY founder arrived?"
"We haven't seen her yet. Once she arrives, I'll have someone inform you." These bidding events had taken place many times before, and the security guards knew Abella, the young founder of QY.
Mrs. Medici nodded and walked inside, holding her husband's hand.
"Mrs. Medici always speaks as if she has a grudge against us. Each word she utters feels like an insult!" Mrs. Wilson lamented as she watched Mrs. Medici's departing figure, feeling somewhat indignant.
Although it was true that they were wealthy, the Medici family and the Wilson family were not too far apart in terms of status. However, every time Mrs. Medici spoke with an air of superiority, it made them feel insignificant.
"They have the means to behave like that. Once we go inside, try to be more accommodating and establish a good relationship with them. If by any chance we secure the land, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with them in the future." Mr. Wilson advised.
"Understood," Mrs. Wilson replied, watching Mrs. Medici's figure and wondering how she was so fortunate to marry a billionaire!
The cars stopped nearby.
A cold and dignified man exited one of the cars and walked towards the entrance. Isla couldn't take her eyes off him.
Such a handsome man!
Unlike the two men she had seen at the CCG Diner before, this man was tall, with outstanding facial features, and he exuded a powerful aura.
Isla had had the opportunity to see him during the design competition. She knew he was the person in charge of the Medici Group, and that he was currently America's wealthiest person.
As soon as Mr. Wilson saw him, he immediately approached with a smile, "Mr. Medici, long time no see. Are you also here for today's auction? I just saw your parents enter earlier and wondered why I didn't see you..."
Steven only gave him a glance and then withdrew his gaze, clearly not remembering him.
The secretary following behind Steven reached out to stop Mr. Wilson from coming any closer.
Mrs. Wilson felt a bit embarrassed. Today, no matter who they greeted, everyone responded with indifference!
Wait until they reach the highest point and see if these people dare to treat them like this!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wilson suddenly noticed her daughter's infatuated gaze and couldn't help but say, "Are you interested? This is the type of man you should pursue. What is Remy compared to him! Think long term, use the same tactics you used on Remy and bring him under your control."
"Mom, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Isla looked at the man's back and made up her mind. As soon as she finds someone better, she'll kick Remy to the curb.
"Alright, let's not stand here like fools. Let's go in." The auction wouldn't start for another half an hour, so Mr. Wilson planned to go inside and get close to the major conglomerates. "Let me make this clear, when you see Abella just now, behave yourselves, got it?"
"You're being short-sighted again. With Abella's resources and connections, it's better to have her as a friend rather than an enemy!"
Upon hearing Mr. Wilson's words, Mrs. Wilson nodded, "You're right."
