Chapter 292

When Ethan's calm voice cut through the tension-filled air with his bid of "ten million dollars," the room seemed to freeze. For a moment, there was only silence, as though everyone collectively held their breath, unsure if they had heard correctly. Then, almost in unison, heads turned sharply toward the source of the voice, a wave of curiosity and disbelief rippling through the room.

The whispers started almost immediately.

they still couldn't believe what they just heard.

"Who was that?"

"Did someone just bid ten million?"

"Who even has the nerve—"

Then their gazes landed on Ethan, standing tall and unbothered, his expression cool and unreadable. The murmurs grew louder as recognition set in.

The kid? people thought, their disbelief plain on their faces.

they couldn't believe it was the same young man who caused a stir at the entrance earlier?
