chapter 24 into the trap

225 million!
My goodness!
You should know, the commercial center plot in the eastern part of the city was worth at most 170 million, but now it has been bid up to 225 million.
That's a full 55 million over.
Everyone shook their heads, all giving up on bidding, while Lillian, to begin with, had no intention of bidding for this plot.
Because she had already known, this plot, for Conrad, was of such importance that he would buy it even if it meant selling everything he had.
Damn it!...
