Chapter 872

Sebastian pushed up his glasses.

The expression on his face remained gentle.

But beneath the lenses, his dark, somber eyes shot Serena a chilling, sinister glance.

He took a step forward, walked up onto the auction stage, and took a microphone. With a warm smile, he said, “Thank you all for graciously yielding, allowing our family to retain the Ghost Doctor’s authentic notes p>

“To show our sincerity, the Doyle family will donate ten percent of the final bid price to the Vaelion Medical Relief Fund p>

He paused for a moment before continuing. “Moving forward, the medical institutions under the Doyle family will organize elite teams to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth study of the Ghost Doctor’s notes p>

“I believe that in the near future, our family will be able to fully replicate and develop the life-extending compound created by the Ghost Doctor p>

“When that day comes, everyone present here will be among the first beneficiaries p>

It was a remarkably beautiful speech.

Originally, everyone had been watching the spectacle, thinking the Doyle family was forcing themselves to swallow a three-billion-dollar pill.

But now, a wave of intense regret instantly washed over the crowd.

“Oh man, that’s a formula from the Ghost Doctor p>

“The Doyle family is playing this smart. If they actually develop the Ghost Doctor’s formula, the profits will far exceed three billion! Thirty billion will be a drop in the bucket p>

“What a loss! Why didn’t I bid earlier p>

“To miss out on something so incredible. Those are the Ghost Doctor’s notes p>

A chorus of sorrowful sighs filled the hall.

Some people looked at Mr. Kessler with faces full of pity. “Mr. Kessler, why did you give up p>

“You made a foolish mistake. How could you listen to the words of a young girl?” Hearing these remarks, Mr. Kessler also felt uncertain.

He couldn’t help but look at Serena again.

He saw the young girl looking down, playing on her phone. Her pale, elegant fingers tapped rapidly on the screen, and a faint, mocking smirk played at the corner of her lips.

Seeing such a composed and unbothered posture.

For some reason.

The feverish burning desire in Mr. Kessler’s heart was suddenly extinguished.

“Sigh.” Mr. Kessler let out a long breath and tossed his bidding paddle onto the table. “In medicine, it’s all about fate p>

“It simply means I didn’t have enough fate to possess the Ghost Doctor’s authentic notes p>

The other guests shook their heads, feeling that it was an absolute

feelinor Mr. Kessler to have been

tragedy

fooled by a young girl into missing out on such a treasure.

Quite a few pharmaceutical tycoons looked sick behind their masks.

If it hadn’t been for that young girl and Mr. Kessler’s reaction.

They wouldn’t have hesitated.

Buying the notes for three billion.

If they could have developed the Ghost Doctor’s research, their companies would

have rocketed to global powerhouse status in one fell swoop.

What a devastating pity p>

Seeing the tide of public opinion shift back in their favor, the expressions of the

Doyle family members finally improved.

Arthur shot his son an approving look.

Sebastian truly had the cunning and the brains.

The more satisfied he was with his son, the more disgusted he felt toward his daughter.

He really didn’t understand how, despite both being his blood, the difference could be so immense!

This daughter of his was completely brainless!

Three billion dollars!

A full three billion dollars!

His heart was truly bleeding.

But at least p>

It was the Ghost Doctor’s authentic manuscript.

As long as they played their cards right and banked on the Ghost Doctor’s legendary reputation, they would make massive profits selling medicine in the future.

Bianca was indeed brainless.

Seeing the smile return to her father’s face and hearing the entire hall blaming Serena for speaking out of turn.

She instantly became arrogant once again.

She just couldn’t stand Serena’s pretentious, high-and-mighty attitude.

Having no actual ability, yet acting like she owned the place.

It’s just

“See that? It’s just three billion dollars. It’s pocket change that our family can easily afford! Actually, l should thank you for giving us the opportunity to keep these notes. and for giving us the chance to connect with the Ghost Doctor p>

Bianca raised her chin, her tone dripping with mockery. “Some people pretend to be experts, causing Mr. Kessler and the

esteemed guests here to miss their chance, and ruining their opportunity to connect with the Ghost Doctors How do you plan to take responsibility for that p>
