Chapter 678 Melissa is the Buyer
'Even though I pushed him to divorce just a few days ago, Bob's not even a bit jealous about losing me as his wife. Instead, he's already moved on to someone else. It's really disgusting.' Hellen thought.
For some reason, she felt a bit uneasy deep down, wondering which woman Bob looked at differently. But it seemed like never; he had always been indifferent.
"You still wanna find someone?" Hellen couldn't help but mock, "Seeing how eager you are, are you lowering yourself to kiss up to someone? Bob, you've really hit rock bottom. It's a pity, even if this person made an offer, he doesn't wanna see you. Otherwise, why would he use a fake voice? Maybe he's just messing with you, making an offer he might not even follow through with."
"Whether it goes through or not is none of your business. Anyway, the Rodriguez Estate won't end up in your hands to become your gross marital home. You showed up so fast, are you also trying to latch onto someone richer than you?" Bob shot back, "Ronnie, this buyer has already humiliated you. You haven't change. You were always timid and short-sighted, so your business won't last long. Enjoy your top spot at Veridiania while it lasts. After all, not every man can just add a dollar to the bid. Hellen, watch out, he might use a hundred bucks to ditch you one day."
Hellen was stunned, not expecting the usually quiet and righteous Bob to say so much, and when he did, it was really infuriating. Her beautiful face twisted in anger.
Ronnie didn't want to be humiliated in front of Hellen, and his face darkened with rage. He growled, "Bob, stop stirring the pot. I'm not being petty. I just don't want you to get an extra penny."
Bob sneered, "Isn't that being petty? You're a disgrace to men. At least during my marriage with Hellen, I frequently funneled billions of dollars to the Peterson Group and promoted you. Even though it all went to waste in the end, I don't care about these external things anymore. A man shouldn't be so narrow-minded. Who among those who achieve great things cares about small amounts of money? A man like you dreams of ruling the world? The Peterson family used schemes and thirty years of tricks to get where they are today, but I believe that if those in power only see money, they won't go far. None of the elites in Trento City will truly respect you!"
After saying this, Bob glanced at them coldly and wheeled himself away, as if they would pollute the air.
Hellen's beautiful face twisted in anger.
She couldn't believe that even after she had fooled him, Bob still wouldn't look her in the eye, not even seeming very angry about her infidelity.
A suppressed sense of unwillingness bubbled up in Hellen's heart.
Ronnie look at her, eyes filled with dissatisfaction, and asked, "Why are you still looking at him? Are you still thinking about him?"
"Ronnie, I've always hated him," Hellen immediately said.
Not long after, the assistant Ronnie had sent out returned and reported, "Mr. Peterson, I just went to find the auction manager, but I didn't see the buyer's assistant. The auction manager said the buyer is very arrogant, telling me not to look for him, that he wouldn't pay attention to unimportant people like us."
"What? That's insane." Ronnie's face twisted with anger. "Didn't you tell them who we are? How dare they call me unimportant?"
"I did, but the buyer's assistant still said that, all arrogant and rude. I checked the surveillance, but didn't see the buyer's face. The only one who passed by that box was a kid, and I'm sure he's not the buyer."
"A kid?" Ronnie doubted, not taking it seriously. His eyes grew cold, feeling more and more that this buyer was hiding something and being mysterious.
'Who the heck is he? Why does he want the Rodriguez Estate? Is it to help Bob, or to mess with the Peterson Group?' he thought. "Have someone keep an eye on the Rodriguez Estate. Since he bought it, he will show up. I want to see who dares to oppose me," Ronnie said coldly.
Meanwhile, in a secluded lounge at the auction, Oscar sneaked in with a small laptop bag, accompanying Melissa to sit down.
He glanced at the door and said, "Grandma, I've already coordinated the payment with the auction manager! Grandpa just came to our box, looking for the buyer! Are you really not gonna tell him that you used your own money to buy the Rodriguez Estate?"
Melissa's pale face inexplicably turned a bit red under his clear gaze. She covered it up, clutching her sleeve, "Oscar, don't say anything. I'm afraid if I tell him, your grandpa will disagree and feel very embarrassed! Besides, this money is from the fund your daddy saved for me. If he finds out, he'll be mad at me too."
Oscar's big eyes blinked and he said, "But you're wholeheartedly helping Grandpa. I estimated the market value of the Rodriguez Estate, at most fifty billion dollars. You intentionally overpaid, didn't you? The remaining fifty billion dollars, is it to help Grandpa revive the company? Isn't this also indirectly helping my daddy?"
Melissa smiled awkwardly, pinching his little cheek, and said, "You're so smart. But, Oscar, thank you for being willing to help me secretly, even though you're not that close to your daddy."
"This has nothing to do with bad daddy!" Oscar shook his head, clear-headed, "I may not want to help the Rodriguez family. But I still listen to you, Grandma. Besides, Ronnie is indeed despicable! Grandpa's ex-wife trampling on him so much, it's unbearable. They would never guess that the mysterious hundred-billion buyer is just an ordinary person like you. Ronnie must be on edge now. Let him be suspicious for a while, which also gives Grandpa a chance to breathe. With a hundred billion dollars, he can quickly give the Rodriguez Group a boost."
Melissa thought the same. Seeing Bob seething with hatred, who had been a prominent figure all his life but had to endure the ridicule and insults from Ronnie and Hellen, Melissa felt her heart hurt.
Honestly, the Rodriguez Group's downfall had a lot to do with Lawrence.
Melissa sighed inwardly while thinking, 'One is my son, and the other is my son's father. I have to do something for them quietly. I want to see Bob regain his former glory, to let him see Hellen and Ronnie's regret. As long as it can make him a little happier, I am willing to do anything.'
Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Melissa picked up her bag and stood up, saying, "Oscar, after the deal is done, your grandpa will probably still want to find the buyer and contact the assistant here. You..."
