Meanwhile, Jenny was looking around. "Lady Lionheart's bid stands at 3 billion. Do | hear another bid?"Trevor was frowning but stayed silent instead of continuing to compete against Sif.Sif mistook it as Trevor showing weakness and was unable to compete further.
Smiling with smug disdain, she asked, "Why the silence? Go on, keep bidding—let's see how much dough you have, challengingus Lionhearts."
“Actually, you can have it since you like it," Frank suddenly said quietly.If anything, buying an underdeveloped Hyperion Root at three billion dollars only proved Sif's immaturity and experience.
