Chapter 454:
Marlon scanned the room with his sharp eyes after his announcement, waiting for any objections from the audience. However, there was none.
After all, even the competitors in the room were clearly intrigued by Skyline Group’s bidding proposal, secretly admiring its cleverness.
Rosalie, who had already accepted defeat, was stunned for a long time. She only came back to her senses when she felt Ashton take her hand and lead her to the stage to sign the contract.
On the other hand, the Marquez brothers, who had just been making fun of and mocking Ashton, were unceremoniously escorted out of the auction venue by the security personnel. It could be considered a classic twist of fate.
Ashton watched the scene from the stage and couldn’t help but smile at the visibly frustrated look on the Marquez brothers’ faces. He took a deep breath before speaking into the microphone.
“I would like to thank Mr. Todd for his sharp insight, preventing our hard work from being wasted. Also, to the representatives of Sup Group in the crowd, please return to your company and discuss it with your board of directors. Some people just can’t help but get caught up in losing deals. If this continues, your Sup Group may end up losing all your assets p>
The audience burst into laughter. Ashton’s remarks had hit home, allowing them to vent their frustrations. This made the Marquez brothers seethe with rage.
They had spent a hefty amount of money to contact Phil and even bribed him with half a million. But in the end, they became the laughingstock of everyone at the auction venue before they could even celebrate their scheme.
Ashton secured the right to develop the land, and the Marquez family made a complete fool of themselves in front of the many wealthy families of Staville. They found this very unacceptable.
After being pushed out of the venue, Beal’s face was extremely stern. Tonight was the most frustrating moment of his life. This experience felt more humiliating than any of his previous losses.

When they lost in Inewood back then, they managed to brush off their failures by claiming they lacked homefield advantage. It was an excuse that allowed them to save face.
But now, this was Staville. This should have been Sup Group’s stronghold. However, the result was even more embarrassing. They were humiliated to the core, not only because they had lost the bid but also because they had allowed Ashton to rise at their expense.
At the thought of this, Beal’s temples throbbed, and blue veins bulged on his forehead. His eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and he wanted to lash out at Ashton.
Even Jacoby was shocked. He had never seen Beal this furious before. He was so scared that he leaned in and whispered, “Beal, we really messed up this time. What should we do next? Why don’t we just get rid of him to avoid future problems p>
Beal took a deep breath to calm himself down, trying to regain his composure. He clenched his fists and replied through clenched teeth, “No, it’s not the right time yet. We’ve just had a conflict with him. Doing something rash now will only raise suspicion. Also, don’t forget that Fraser’s plans are nearing completion. We need to hold on and wait until that big issue is taken care of. But after this, I will make sure to settle scores with that little punk, even if you don’t say anything p>
