"$500 million," Evan bids.
"$600 million," the other room counters.
The other bidder won't lose his chance with Avery so easily. The bidding price increases in increments of $100 million as if money is nothing.
"$700 million," Evan counters, asking Robert to press the bidding device down. A bodyguard comes in and whispers something to Robert and his expression becomes worried.
"Sir, it's Andrew Clifford," he whispers to Evan.
"Get the word out she's mine," Evan orders.
Robert quickly returns with a message from Andrew, "Sir, he said whoever bids the highest wins her."
"$800 million."
"Sir, Mr. Clifford has gone for $800 million," Robert whispers.
"Keep it going," Evan said with a frown, "I want to see how much longer he can afford to bid."
The screen on Evan's room reads "$1 billion."
