Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 400

He took a manila envelope from his car and handed it to her. "Here, this is for you."

"What is it?" Sarah asked, puzzled as she took it.

As she started to open the envelope, Zachary stopped her.

"Wait until you're home."

Seeing his grave expression, Sarah understood the contents must be confidential. She lowered the envelope, and as she was about to walk past him, she paused.

Turning back to face Zachary, she said, "Harbor Crescent."

Zachary's brow furrowed at those words. "Harbor Crescent?"

"Yes." Sarah didn't want to say more. She'd given him the hint - the rest was up to him to figure out.

Back home, Sarah locked herself in her room and carefully removed the documents from the envelope.

Her pupils dilated, her hands trembling.

This was...?

At the land auction, Sarah arrived with Melvin, both dressed elegantly. She wasn't sure if other attendees knew that Harbor Crescent, not Crystal Bay, was the real prize, but the Sanders family had to secure it.

Besides Crystal Bay and Harbor Crescent, there were over a dozen other properties up for auction.

The invited attendees represented East Coast's most powerful business figures. Zachary and Vivian were seated in the front row, while Sarah and Melvin were placed in the second.

The seating arrangement reflected East Coast's social hierarchy. She could see Zachary and Vivian already seated ahead of them as she and her brother took their assigned places.

Sarah lifted her paddle. "Five hundred and eighty million."

The price was reaching a critical point - any higher would exceed Crystal Bay's actual value.

She watched Vivian in the front row, who lazily raised her paddle. "Five hundred and ninety million."

If Crystal Bay truly lay along the new shipping route, factoring in resort development subsidies and potential profits, there was still room for a few tens of millions more. Anything above six hundred and thirty million would mean a loss.

Sarah smiled slightly as she raised her paddle. "Six hundred million."

By now, few people were still bidding, leaving only the Fosters, the Sanders, and Vivian.

Charlotte watched Sarah frantically, understanding her strategy and knowing Vivian was deliberately driving up the price.
