Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 335: Protection

Sterling Norwood’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness; with such a wife who loved joining in the fun and being curious, he really needed to keep a close eye on her.

Hughes coughed lightly; his sister-in-law looked like a delicate beauty, but was her courage actually this big?

During the conversation, the auction price for the island had already been pushed to eighty million US Dollars.

At this point, there were very few people left bidding below.

Only one or two people were still bidding.

"Honored guest in room number four on the second floor, bids three hundred million US Dollars!"

The auctioneer shouted this out, and upon seeing room number four on the second floor, his eyes flickered.

The auctioneer glanced toward the corner ahead, where several people in black waited.

The auctioneer nodded at them inconspicuously.

Then, those people in black spoke several words into the earpieces they wore.

Inside the room, Samuel Dalton slowly curled his lips into a cruel smile upon receiving the message from his subordinate.

"The fish has taken the bait."

Mrs. Anna slightly raised an eyebrow, "Room number four on the second floor?"

This location was right next to that girl...

Samuel Dalton paused for a moment and summoned someone, "Arrange some people to go to room number five."

Although it was his own territory and he had taken various measures for today’s event, unexpected incidents could not be ruled out.

Anna smiled slightly, indeed, he still couldn’t let go...

Meanwhile, Selena Kensington was still focused on the auction situation for Gailo Island when a knock on the door sounded outside.

Selena turned around and looked toward the door.

The bodyguard who followed Hughes walked in, whispering something in Hughes’s ear, his head bent low.

Selena could vaguely see quite a few people standing outside the half-opened door.

After the bodyguard finished speaking, Hughes was quite speechless.

He looked at Sterling Norwood, "I really guessed right; the Gailo Family is in the room right next door, number four."

"Those outside are Colombo Family members, sent by Alessio."

Upon hearing Hughes’s words, Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.

Really? They are actually next door?!

Sterling didn’t speak, but Hughes understood his tacit agreement.

After all, while the two could afford to be indifferent, there was still Selena here.

In order to protect Selena, Sterling would not refuse this matter.

The bidding below had already entered into a fever pitch.

Now only the people in room number four on the second floor and room number ten were competing.

"Honored guest in room number ten on the second floor, bids five hundred million US Dollars!"

The opponent made another bid.

Albert in room number four vented by slamming his fist onto the table.

"Damn it! Who are the people in room number ten?!"

"Keep increasing the bid for me!"

The purpose this time was to win back Gailo Island. Albert thought the financial backing he brought was sufficient, but someone kept matching their bids.

So he had no choice but to continue raising the price.

"Honored guest in room number four bids six hundred million US Dollars!"

Since knowing that the people next door in room number four were from the Gailo Family, Selena Kensington recalled the foreign man she met at the door earlier who tried to strike up a conversation with her.

That person... must be from the Gailo Family, right?

"Honored guest in room number ten bids nine hundred million US Dollars!"

An amount three hundred million US Dollars more than what the Gailo Family offered...

According to the intelligence Samuel Dalton received, the Gailo Family’s funds this time wouldn’t exceed nine hundred million US Dollars.

Samuel Dalton intended to force them to hand over all their assets only to end up empty-handed...

Meanwhile, in room number four.

Albert suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth in the room.

"Family Head, the funds we brought this time have already reached the limit..."

The subordinate beside him spoke.
