The Hidden Titan Abandoned by His CEO Wife Chapter 22
Molly continued bidding, even as the price neared her limit, driven by her determination to secure the Athran Root for her son.The bidder in Diamond Room No. 10 countered, "135 million!"A wave of shock rippled through the audience."135 million?!""My entire wealth wouldn't even come close to that!""A Diamond elite is built differently. This is insane!"Whispers filled the hall, but Molly struggled to stay upright inside Platinum Room No. 16.135 million dollars—she had reached her absolute limit.But she refused to back down."135.5 million dollars!" She managed to bid.The bid from Diamond Room No. 10 followed instantly. "150 million."A ringing sound filled Molly's ears. Dizziness washed over her.The rest of the auction hall was equally stunned, mouths agape.Even Eleonora gripped her clothes tightly, awestruck.It wasn't just the staggering 150-million-dollar bid for the Athran Root that amazed her, but how effortlessly it was placed—as if the bidder were tossing

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, waves of shock rippled through the auction hall.The moment Castiel's bid was announced, the atmosphere exploded with excitement, reaching an electrifying peak.The auctioneer, unable to hide his enthusiasm, called out, "Diamond Room No. 6 has bid 180 million dollars!"At that instant, all eyes turned toward the booth where Castiel sat.A stunned silence fell over the crowd before whispers spread like wildfire."Another Diamond mogul has entered the game! And he casually throws out a 180-million-dollar bid? There are only a handful of people in Ripara who can afford that. Who exactly is bidding tonight?""From what I know, Raymond Milne of the Glority Group and Simon Hogan of the Lennia Group aren't here tonight. Aside from them, only three or four people in Ripara can make a bid like that.""Could it be one of those three or four? Or maybe… someone else entirely?""There's no telling. I heard from an inside source that a powerful figure fr

Though Ryder's bid increase was smaller than before, it was clear that even a wealthy heir from Centrom like him was feeling the pressure.Still, in the eyes of the audience, his spending power remained terrifying.Before anyone could process his bid, Castiel from Diamond Room No. 6 placed another. "195 million!"The entire hall was stunned. 195 million dollars?!Ryder narrowed his eyes before pressing his buzzer. "195.5 million dollars."Without hesitation, Castiel responded. "210 million."Ryder gritted his teeth. "210.5 million dollars."Castiel increased his bid again. "225 million."Ryder paused. The pressure was mounting. He clenched his fists, then pressed the buzzer once more. "225.5 million."Castiel bid without hesitation. "240 million."It was as if he were telling everyone he was determined to win the auction.Ryder cursed inwardly. Did this Ripara bumpkin not know who he was—Ryder Florey from Centrom? How dare he fight him for the Athran Root?Still, he refused

"Diamond Room No. 6 bids 300 million dollars, going once!"Bang!"Diamond Room No. 6 bids 300 million dollars, going twice!"Bang!On stage, the auctioneer could barely contain his excitement—he was practically in shock.The power of these Diamond bidders was terrifying. Spending 300 million dollars on the Athran Root? It was beyond anything people like him could even fathom.Just a moment ago, he was thrilled by the high bids, but now? Now, he was filled with awe and disbelief.Never in the history of Tenray Auction House had anyone spent so much on a single medicinal herb. It felt surreal, like a dream.Just as the auctioneer prepared to bring the hammer down for the third and final time, a voice interrupted from the staff section, "Please hold! The buyer in Diamond Room No. 10 has requested a pause to arrange funds."The auctioneer hesitated before responding, "According to Tenray's rules, a buyer can request a short delay—but only for three minutes. The bidder in Room No.

Peter could only visit Castiel again with the note in hand.Castiel unfolded it casually.[To the esteemed guest in Room No. 6, I am Ryder Florey from Centrom. I would be deeply grateful if you could allow me to win the bid for the Athran Root. I assure you that I will repay this kindness generously in the future. Please, consider my request.]"Ryder Florey from Centrom?" Castiel raised an eyebrow slightly. This wasn't just some random rich kid.Still, he let the note slip from his fingers, watching it flutter to the floor.Looking up at Peter, he remained cool and indifferent. "Please tell Mr. Florey I cannot fulfill his request."Peter stood frozen for a moment. Did this man not realize whom he had just rejected?The Floreys were one of Centrom's most powerful families, their influence nothing short of formidable. Yet Castiel had shown neither hesitation nor fear.With no other option, Peter hurried back to Room No. 10 to deliver the bad news.Upon hearing it, Ryder froze. F

Castiel soon received the Athran Root he had won at the auction in Room No. 6. He completed the payment immediately."Mr. Ignis, would you like to take it with you, or should we have our staff deliver it to your residence?" one of the Tenray managers asked after processing the payment.Castiel glanced at the Athran Root, securely encased in a glass case, and replied, "It's inconvenient for me to carry it myself. Have it delivered to this address."He quickly scribbled down the location of Genting Villa.When the manager took the note and read the address, she was momentarily stunned. Evidently, she recognized Genting Villa and what it represented.A wave of shock washed over her. Could this man be the legendary owner of Genting Villa?For years, rumors had circulated in Ripara's elite circles about the arrival of an incredibly powerful figure. The massive, opulent villa perched atop Genting Hill had been custom-built for him.High-ranking officials and business tycoons had unsuc

Eleonora called out to Castiel from behind.Castiel stopped and sighed inwardly. He had no desire to entertain her, yet she kept appearing, time and time again.He turned around, looked at Eleonora, who had quickly approached, and asked flatly, "What do you want?"Not far off, Molly stood quietly, her expression downcast. She didn't interrupt their exchange.Eleonora stared at Castiel for a moment before speaking. "Castiel, you should learn to be a decent person.""What?" Castiel asked, caught off guard."Stop pretending." She sighed, speaking as though to a child. "Do you really think I don't know? There's no way someone like you could've become a Diamond-tier member of Tenray through legitimate means. I don't know what tricks you pulled, but as your ex-wife, I sincerely hope you start living honestly. Don't get involved in anything shady or illegal—you'll only end up ruining yourself.""Are you insane?" Castiel snapped, incredulous.Was she seriously accusing him of committin

"You are..." Eleonora turned around and saw a man with a bright smile and an overly friendly demeanor. She froze for a moment.She didn't recognize him. Why was he calling her in an intimate way?Was he a friend of Castiel's? Did he not know that she and Castiel were already divorced?How dare he call her Nora!Irritation surged through her.Ryder stepped forward with a grin. "Eleonora, you probably don't know me yet. Let me introduce myself. I'm Ryder Florey from Centrom. Leon Monroy is my elder cousin."Eleonora's initial annoyance shifted to surprise. "Leon is your cousin?"Ryder nodded and pulled out a photo of himself with Leon as proof.Now it all made sense to Eleonora. Ryder thought she was Leon's girlfriend. That's why he called her Nora.Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly corrected him, "Please don't call me that. Mr. Monroy and I are just friends for now."Ryder noticed the faint blush on her face and chuckled. "For now, maybe. But in the future? Who knows?

The doctor diagnosed Molly with a mental breakdown. She had completely lost control.Eleonora turned pale.Just moments ago, Molly had promised to help secure the deal. But now… she was gone.With Molly out of the picture, what would happen to the collaboration between the Nora Group and the Hunderd Group?Soon, an ambulance arrived to take Molly away.Eleonora stood frozen, overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events.Ryder realized this wasn't just bad for Molly—it could spell disaster for Eleonora, too.If Hunderd's CEO discovered that his wife had suffered a breakdown at the auction, and that Eleonora had been involved, he would surely hold a grudge. The partnership was at serious risk.As expected, Eleonora soon received a call from Hunderd's CEO. His voice was cold, barely concealing his anger.Eleonora explained everything truthfully, not daring to lie.After hearing her out, he didn't blame her outright but ended the call with a chilling silence.Eleonora felt an icy dr
