Caroline also expected that her arrival would slightly affect the decision of the Jamesons. At least, Caroline expected that they could consider her thoughts and cancel today's auction.
However, things went contrary to Caroline's wishes. It also showed the cruelty of the Jamesons hidden under the appearance of the family.
Not far away, Raymond was saying what the occasion required. Then he got to the point.
"Therefore, we decided to let the Living Hope Foundation exert its greatest value in the hands of the capable. This is also a decision that our family has discussed together.
"So now I announce that the Living Hope Foundation will officially start bidding, with a starting price of 80 million dollars."
Hearing this, Caroline was shocked and shouted, "Impossible! The running account of the Living Hope Foundation was 800 million dollars that year! According to the real estimate, the assets of the foundation are more than two billion dollars! Why did he start bidding at a starting price of 80 million dollars?"
Caroline was shocked!
Bentley was calm and was not surprised at all. Caroline saw Bentley's indifferent expression and had a premonition. Caroline immediately looked at the expressions of other people around her. Suddenly, Caroline smiled bitterly and thought, "It turns out that all the people here know the truth except me."
Then Caroline looked at Raymond with a complicated look, who was hosting the auction. Caroline felt bitter in her mouth and felt great pain in her heart. Caroline didn't know why they destroyed the
Living Hope Foundation heartlessly!
Caroline thought, "Even if they don't care about me, they should think about my dead grandfather!"
"Why are they so cruel and selfish to ruin the hard work of both of us?"
"Haven't you ever thought that the Living Hope Foundation was auctioned because Raymond and Nathan were incompetent and lost all their assets so that they had to do so?"
After being released from prison, Caroline had always been lowly and knelt down in Bentley's opinion. But the wisdom flickered in her eyes now. Caroline shook her head and retorted, "It's impossible. Although Dad... Although Raymond can't branch out, he can keep the assets. With his ability, if he really wanted to run the foundation, the foundation would never be auctioned with a starting price of 80 million dollars." Then the glitter in Caroline's eyes disappeared. Caroline continued, "The only explanation is that he made all use of the Living Hope Foundation. And today, he even wants to suck the foundation dry."
It was easy for Caroline to say the words, but when she said this, she felt great pain in her heart. Caroline clenched her fists and tried her best to restrain herself. Otherwise, Caroline was afraid that she would rush forward and punch the man she had called dad for more than 20 years.
The people around Caroline knew clearly that the Living Hope Foundation was like an empty shell, but there were still many people who were interested in it and kept bidding. Hearing the bidding, Caroline hated that she could do nothing and could only watch. Caroline clenched her fists tighter, letting the nails fall into the palm flesh.
"You ran the Living Hope Foundation so well," Bentley said meaningfully. He took Caroline's hands and gently prised her fists.
Caroline gritted her teeth fiercely and thought, "That's right. I ran the Living Hope Foundation so well. Therefore, even if everyone knows that it's only an empty shell, they are still bidding for it. It's just because the foundation doesn't lose its reputation!"
Caroline hated it!
"Any bid?" Caroline saw Raymond say to the guests who came today spiritedly, "The Living Hope Foundation was established by my deceased father. From the beginning of its establishment, it has attracted much attention. I believe all the distinguished guests know its reputation."
"What my father, Simon, was most proud of was not the Jameson Group but the Living Hope Foundation before passing away. If no one raises the price, the Living Hope Foundation will belong to Mr. Brooks today."
Caroline gnashed her teeth! NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Caroline stared at Raymond and thought, "How could he say this? Why did he mention grandpa on this occasion without embarrassment?"
"Congratulations to Mr. Brooks. I'm sure that my father would be happy if he were still alive. The Living Hope Foundation has finally been handed over to the right person," Raymond said politely.
Vincent guffawed and said, "Simon is also one of the people I admire most in my life. Even if Simon passed away, he must be happy to know that the Living Hope Foundation is handed over to the Brooks family."
When Vincent said this, the looks of the people became very weird. Everyone knew Simon's temper. Since the Living Hope Foundation was Simon's greatest concern before his death, Simon must turn over in his grave when the foundation belonged to someone else. Simon wouldn't be happy!
Raymond froze and felt a little embarrassed. Camila immediately smiled when she saw that the situation was wrong.
Camila said, "That's it. You're right."
When Caroline heard Vincent's laughter, Raymond's polite words, and Camila's mediated words without any shame, Caroline's hands and shoulders were trembling, and her whole body was trembling!
"Vincent, did you ask my grandfather yourself whether he is happy or not?" It was ablaze with lights, and a rough voice suddenly sounded in the lively atmosphere.
Suddenly, it was so quiet that everyone could hear a pin drop! Everyone followed the sound and looked over. They only saw a woman lowering her head in the light, and the rough sound was from her.
Next second!
Several voices sounded at the same time!
"Callie, apologize to Mr. Brooks!" Camila said.
"Bitch, how dare you make trouble here!" Raymond said.
"Bitch! How dare you curse my grandfather to death!" Easton said.
Although Vincent didn't speak immediately, he had a disapproving look. Vincent stared at Caroline gloomily.
Caroline couldn't restrain her lowered head anymore!
Caroline felt great pain in her heart. Besides, she was also furious and had a grudge!
Everyone saw Caroline in the light raising her head gradually under many people's gaze and slowly looking at Raymond and Camila.
"Grandpa has passed away. Mr. Jameson, he is your biological father who raised you. Maybe he never thought that many years after his death, he would be insulted by his own son. What's more, you allowed others to humiliate him in public like this in front of everyone!"
Caroline tried her best to restrain herself from rushing up and tearing apart her father!
"Raymond! You don't deserve to be a son! You are sorry for my deceased grandfather! You don't deserve to hold his thing!"
