Helplessly, Mary watched as the servants came in and out, carrying away the clothes that Gwyn had purchased for her earlier in the day and discarding her old ones. She couldn't comprehend how things had escalated to this point.
All she had wanted was to go to the company for a casual meal.
Gwyn, who was in his study, was equally perplexed. Examining the reports provided by his subordinates, Gwyn couldn't fathom why Mary would venture into the stock market.
Having grown up with Mary, Gwyn was aware of her capabilities. She had gotten lucky with the surge in stock prices. However, he couldn't comprehend why she had sold all her shares to Bob.
Money was of little importance to Gwyn; he didn't mind if Mary hadn't earned a single penny. Tens of millions didn't faze him in the slightest.
However, the fact that Mary had allowed Bob to earn the money made the situation entirely different. Did Mary still harbor feelings for Bob?
Mary saw that Gwyn had not come out of the study and was a little worried. She gently pushed the door open and saw Gwyn frowning.
When Gwyn saw Mary enter, he hurriedly put away the reports in his hand.
"Is there something else you are hiding from me?" Mary pouted, a little unhappy.
However, Gwyn truly did not want to investigate the matter any further. He feared that the answer he would hear might not be the one he desired.
Meanwhile, Mary had not noticed anything off about Gwyn. She was engrossed in the auction documents lying on the table.
According to Mary's memory, the auction of the land should be around this time. However, she had been paying attention to the stock market and almost missed it.
Seeing Mary's eyes brighten, Gwyn was a little confused. He didn't know when Mary had become interested in these things.
Gwyn unfolded the document and asked, "Wife, which piece of land do you think we should bid on?"
Mary examined the document and ransacked her memory once again. Finally, she located number six and pointed it out to Gwyn, who furrowed his brow in response.
This piece of land wasn't large, and both sides were barren lands that hadn't been developed. Land No. 6 was sandwiched in the middle. Because the two plots of land next to it belonged to different companies, this place had never been developed.
In Gwyn's opinion, this piece of land might develop in the next few decades, but not now.
But Mary was very determined. "We will have Land number six! "
Seeing her determined expression, Gwyn pointed out a few other plots of land. "What do you think of No. 1 and No. 12? Isn't it worth investing in?"
Gwyn was thinking from a professional standpoint, but Mary was unable to comprehend his perspective. All she could recall was that the government would announce its new plan by next month at the latest.
Land 6 was situated between high-end villas and a ring road. In her past life, Land 6 was located at the renowned Hall Shopping Center.
Although Mary was unaware of which land could appreciate in value, she could predict which land would thrive and yield profits in the coming years.
Nonetheless, she was also aware that anyone who bought that piece of land would have bad luck. Gwyn found it amusing to observe Mary gazing at No. 6.
He pulled Mary into his arms affectionately and let her sit on his lap.
Mary leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Can I go to the auction? Let me bid for Land 6, okay?"
Gwyn raised an eyebrow, not knowing why Mary was so obsessed with this piece of land. "Why? "
"No reason. I just want to bid for this piece of land, okay? Don't do anything. I'll bid for it when the time comes, okay?" Mary shook Gwyn's neck vigorously.
Gwyn looked at her cute face and finally nodded in agreement.
Mary had a different strategy in mind. She was aware of the land's value and knew that it was crucial to keep this knowledge concealed from others.
If Gwyn were to participate in the bidding, others would sense that something was amiss. Moreover, Gwyn's involvement would drive up the auction price, rendering the purchase unworthy in the end.
It would be better to let her bid for it. Moreover, if they were to win this piece of land, it would be much easier to scam Bob later.
At this realization, Mary's mood improved drastically, and she planted a firm kiss on Gwyn's face.
