King's Awakening

Chapter 329: The Result is Announced, She’s the Winning Bidder?

“Brother, what the hell is going on?”

After the drama had unfolded in the Jones Family, Sherry Jones returned to her seat in a daze, her mind full of confusion.

How is it that even she, as part of the Jones Group, didn’t know about these happenings, yet White Mitchell knew everything so clearly?

Uh…

White Mitchell fell silent for a while, then turned to look at the nearby Elijah Bailey.

Understanding the situation, Elijah Bailey said, “These were actually all suggestions from White. Before we decided to participate in the bidding, White was worried that the Jones Family would be up to something.

So he gave us some advice. It just so happened that our labor contracts hadn’t been finalized at that time, so we followed White’s advice and guard against the Jones Family.”

After Elijah Bailey finished speaking, he seemed a bit uncertain.

Luckily, Sherry didn’t have many doubts and instead looked at White Mitchell with gratitude, “Brother, thank you. If it weren’t for you and Elijah, I really have no idea what I would have done today.

It’s all my fault. I’ve been too soft. I clung to a sliver of hope for the Jones Family, thinking that they would come around one day, but I almost caused a major disaster.”

In saying this, there was a hint of self-blame in Sherry’s tone.

If it wasn’t for White Mitchell being cautious, their plans would’ve been ruined. Not to mention winning the bid for the new city of Nezzi, they would’ve lost their qualification to bid.

In such a case, how would she help White solve the troubles from the Weiden Family and the Imperial Group?

“It’s okay now, everything is solved. Get ready, you will soon have to present your bid. I believe you can do it.” White Mitchell said, encouraging her with a gentle expression.

Upon hearing this, Sherry nodded heavily. Pulling herself together, her face was once again filled with a determined expression.

Alan Austin, not far away, saw this and sneered to himself, “Laugh, go ahead and laugh. Soon, you’ll know what despair feels like!”

On the other hand, shortly after peace was restored at the event venue, David Herb, the organizer of Nezzi’s new city bidding meeting, announced the start of the bidding conference.

Now it was the turn of each bidder who came to participate to take the stage and present their visions and plans for Nezzi’s new city.

David Herb and the other judges, led by the Azure Dragon, would make an overall judgment based on their bidding plans, their financial resources and their resources to select the final winner.

The Imperial Group’s presentation was before Sherry’s. Soon it was their turn to present their bidding plan on the stage.

As Alan Austin, who was exuding immense confidence, walked onto the stage, he not only presented his bidding plan but also pointed out deficiencies in the plans of the previous two bidders.

Even though he was not in a superior position regarding funds and resources, this did not worry him because he had David Herb on his side.

In his view, this was just a formality. The new city of Nezzi was already in his pocket.

Downstage, as Sherry finished listening to Alan’s bidding plan, she could not help but feel nervous.

“Don’t worry. Our plan will definitely win.” White Mitchell encouraged again.

Upon hearing this, Sherry nodded heavily, gathered her courage, got on stage, and began presenting her bidding plan.

A few minutes later, after Sherry had finished presenting her bidding plan, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had done everything she could. Now, all she had to do was wait for the results to be announced and leave it to fate.

Before long, Sherry returned to White Mitchell’s side with a nervous look, focusing all her attention on the stage.

At this moment, David Herb emerged in front of everyone with the final result of the bidding.

The air seemed to have become still. Everyone held their breath and listened intently, afraid to miss a single word.

They knew very well that this was a historic moment for Sayon, a moment that would produce another David Herb.

Whoever won the bidding would become an existence parallel to David Herb.

Without hesitation, it could be said that this was undoubtedly the most crucial moment in Sayon for the next few decades.

“Apologies for the wait. After much deliberation among the judges, we have weighed the strengths of each bidder. Now, the results of the bidding are in my hands.” David Herb stated seriously.

Upon hearing this, a smug grin made its way onto Alan Austin’s face. He adjusted his suit quietly, giving the impression that he was ready to come onstage to receive the contract.

At this moment, David Herb’s gaze fell on Alan silently, his eyes conveying something peculiar.

Hm?

Alan Austin faltered, sensing something off, but by the time he glanced back at David Herb, the latter had swiftly withdrawn his gaze.

“Could it have been an illusion?” Alan Austin muttered to himself. Then, his eyes hardened as he said decisively, “It must have been an illusion. The Nezzi New City project is definitely mine!”

Just as Alan Austin was preparing to stand, David Herb on the stage began to speak slowly, “The successful bidder this time is…”

Sherry! Jones!

Whoosh!

As soon as these words dropped, the name ‘Sherry Jones’ echoed in everyone’s minds on the spot.

Sherry Jones was the winner. Definitely a rising figure in Sayon’s business world. In less than ten years, Sherry Jones would definitely be on par with David Herb.

The queen of Sayon’s business world!

Boom boom boom…

A series of celebratory cannons boomed in unison, as if announcing the rise of Sherry Jones to everyone in Sayon.

In an instant, countless people at the scene couldn’t help but cast envious glances at Sherry Jones.

From today onwards, Sherry Jones would become another synonym for Sayon. Her name would be recorded in Sayon’s history!

“I… I did it, I made it, brother, I made it. I…” Sherry Jones’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. Her emotional tears poured down like a broken dam.

Yes, she did it. She won the Nezzi New City project.

White Mitchell was safe. From now on, she could protect White Mitchell. No one would dare to trouble White Mitchell anymore.

She was relieved and truly happy.

From her childhood till now, she had always been protected by White Mitchell. This time, she could finally do something for him.

In the future, no one would be able to make their lives difficult anymore. No one would be able to tear them apart anymore.

Her tears of joy continued to flow. Sherry Jones threw herself into White Mitchell’s arms, as if trying to vent all the grievances she had endured over the period of time.

At that moment, Alan Austin, who was just about to stand up, slumped back into his seat. His face was filled with disbelief.

Sherry… Sherry Jones, the winner was actually Sherry Jones, not their Imperial Group!

This…

He lost!

He actually lost!

He lost to Sherry Jones, such a young girl!

How could this be? What on earth was going on? Hadn’t David Herb pledged to him that the Nezzi New City project was practically his?

Alan Austin found it hard to accept the result. He knew very well that he could not afford to lose. He had invested everything he had. He just couldn’t afford to lose, he really couldn’t!

For a moment, Alan Austin’s emotions began to crumble. He stared blankly at David Herb on the stage, rushed over frantically like a madman and blurted out, “Mr. Herb, this is fake, right? You’re just joking with us, right?

You said it, the Nezzi New City project is ours, the Imperial Group’s! You even asked me to arrange for the financing, fifty billion. You said if I had fifty billion, the Nezzi New City would definitely be mine.

Mr. Herb, say something, tell them that this is fake, this is just a joke you’re making. Please say it, please say it!!!”
