Chapter 74

"Only 105 million dollars?" Kendrick felt much better afterhearing what Lawrence said. He started reading the report, and his expression gradually became happy and excited."Hahaha!He only has a working capital of 105 million dollars, yet he dared to say he had 150 million dollars? Very well, then, let's see how long he can hold up this charade of his. Hahaha, Robert,I can't wait to see that arrogan t face of your crying!"

Kendrick was not actually angry that he didn't manage to outbidRobert. What actually pissed him off was Robert's cockiness, and he couldn't help but roar with laughter once he found out Robert didn't have as much money as he said he had.

It was as if all the money Robert possessed was nothing but petty money in Kendrick's eyes.

"Once a piece of shit will always be a piece of shit. Zabinski Groupwill never win against Zabel Group!"

Now that Kendrick had calmed down, Matthew couldn't help butfeel resentment for Marilyn."Things wouldn't be so troublesome if Marilyn didn't hook up with Robert. It'll surely be her fault if anything bad happens to our family!"

In the Grand Triumphant Hotel office, Robert looked at the coffeecup in front of him and asked,"Carlos, do you think I acted too rashly today?"

Carlos shook his head and said,"Everyone there was watching. IfZabel Group won the auction, we'd be like a lamb to the slaughter. You did the right thing, Mr. Zabinski."

"Okay," Robert sighed."We have to develop the land immediately

now that we have bought it so that we can recuperate the cost as soon as possible. Get me the sales report on those residential areas."

Carlos nodded. He was about to prepare the documents when the phone suddenly rang.

Carlos glanced at Robert and said,"It's your father, Mr. Zabinski."

Robert suddenly shrank back."Dad is definitely going to give me a scolding for spending 79.5 million dollars, which was 30% above market price, on that piece of land today."

Carlos was holding the phone."Yes, sir. He's here. Okay,I'll pass the phone to him now," said Carlos with a nod before handing the phone to Robert.

Robert took the phone and slowly held it again st his ear."Dad..."

"You fool!How dare you still call me'dad'? What were youthinking when you bid 79.5 million dollars? Are you out of your mind? Did you ever think about what the other people will say about Zabinski Group when you did that?"

Zachary sounded extremely angry.

Robert covered and didn't dare to say anything.

Zachary continued to curse at Robert for another ten seconds before finally calming down a little."All right, tell me what you have in mind."

"Dad, Zabel Group has every intention to enter the market we'rein, and everyone's waiting to see how the Zabinski Group will respond. If we don't do anything, they'll..." explained Robert hurriedly.

"Did I ask you about this?" Zachary roared and interruptedRobert,"Do you know how humiliating that you've only bi d 75 million dollars when the land is worth 60 million dollars? Why didn't you bi d 150 million dollars? How can I face anyone after this?"

"Uh..." Robert didn't know what Zachary was talking about."Dad,what's done is done..."

"So what if it's done? Do you really think this is about the land?It's all about the swank!The swank,I tell you!75 million dollars is nothing!You should have bid 150 million dollars so that little piece of shit called Zabel would pi ss his pants! I'm ashamed to call you my son!" cursed Zachary without pausing for breath.
