Chapter 109

Nathan's laid-back demeanor lit a fire in Cameron, who boldly declared, "Why not? A mere hundred million-I've

got that covered."

Cameron upped the ante. "One hundred million and ten thousand."

Nathan flashed a sly grin and calmly told the auctioneer, "I'll bid five hundred million."

Cameron was absolutely floored. "I'm out," he said, slumping back into his seat, clearly defeated.

Nellie was pretty surprised. In the previous life, Cameron fell for Nathan's tricks and kept upping his bid. When

he reached a billion, Nathan suddenly stopped. Though Cameron ended up with Timeless Cycle, he nearly

drained all his cash reserves. Later, when Nathan went after his projects, Cameron couldn't cup with enough

money and was at Nathan's mercy. His empire fell apart quickly, and his success was short-lived. But this time

around, why has everything turned out so differently?

Nathan's sudden fivefold increase in bidding while Cameron wisely held back was unexpected.

Nellie winced as she watched Nathan. Sure, Timeless Cycle was valuable, but blowing five hundred million on it

was a bit much. What was it about that piece that Nathan couldn't let go of?

Lost in thought, Nellie watched Nathan step up to claim Timeless Cycle, a satisfied grin spreading across his

face.

Benjamin, though, was not impressed with Nathan's splurge and snidely remarked, "Nathan, your granddad's

gonna blow a gasket when he hears you blew so much on something so trivial." Nathan shot him a frosty look.

"I'm using the inheritance my mom left me. Got a problem with that?"

Benjamin was left speechless.

Everyone knew Nathan's mom was the cherished daughter of the McCoy family. She'd been a powerhouse,

amassing a fortune before passing away young, leaving her billions to Nathan. This inheritance put a target on

his back, with many eager to claim a piece if anything happened to him.

Nathan's biological dad, his dad's new wife, and her son stood to gain the most, along with uncles, aunts, and

cousins from the McCoy side. Naturally, everyone was watching how Nathan handled his wealth.

Benjamin, not hiding his displeasure, commented, "Why're you spending five hundred million on a stupid locket?

If your mom knew how you're burning through her fortune, she'd be rolling in her grave." Nathan shot him a cold

glance. "My business is none of yours, Benjamin."

Realizing he'd overstepped, Benjamin clammed up.

After the auction, Greta emerged, looking downcast with tear-streaked eyes, while Nellie seemed lost in her own

thoughts.

Cameron noticed their dejected looks, but he only approached Greta, trying to console her. "If you really want

that locket, I'll figure out a way to get it from Nathan. Don't lose hope."

With Cameron's reassurance, Greta's tears turned into a smile. "Cameron, you've got to get it for me," she

pleaded.

Nellie watched them with an expressionless face. Greta had Cameron to comfort her, but Nellie's own dismay

went unnoticed.

At spoint, Nathan appeared, standing tall in front of Nellie. Despite his youth, his height and presence made

it impossible for Nellie to ignore him.
