It wasn't until the bidding for the lot in Blanton began that Ethan looked like he was going to win. Without waiting for the other companies to call out the price, he just called out the price in the bid document Nora had given him.

Then, Ethan looked at me smugly.

When Ethan called out the price, the other companies were silent. After all, the Anderson Group wasn't that simple.

Until the bidding session was almost over, I raised my hand and said calmly, "I'm asking for a capital check. Given the size of the Murphy Group, I don't think he has the funds to pay the deposit on the lot in Blanton."

In my previous life, his security deposit was paid for by Nora with my money.

Ethan didn't expect me to do that, so he looked humiliated.

My proposal was almost approved by all the companies present.

After the organizer's capital verification, Ethan's company truly didn't have enough liquidity to pay the deposit.

In the end, the Murphy Group was disqualified from bidding, and the bid for the lot in Blanton was canceled.

As for why a company as large as Ethan's could participate in the bidding, it would not be my concern anymore.

Ethan was waiting for me at the door as I walked out with my staff.
