Sona is a 17year old girl with a privileged upbringing. She inherited millions held in Trust from the death of his parents. Once she attended a private home auction with the intention of buying a new home to settle in as she refused to be reminded about the death of his parents from his old home. City Brokers were hosting a private home auction with finger foods and cocktail drinks. Sona was impressed and excited with the environment of the private auction and decided to try the champagne. After 2 glasses of champagne, she was feeling extremely happy and successfully bid for the home for $ 1 million. The auction was held in one of the private homes but Sona had placed his bid thinking it was the same house where the auction was hosted. Her bid was for a house closer to the city slums. Unfortunately, at the time of the bid, the house was being torn down by the City Council for OHS reasons. On the next day, Sona was informed about his successful bid which he immediately paid for by cheque. Two days later, Sona turned 18. She found out that the house she bought no longer existed. She then goes to the City Council to lodge her complaint and upon discussions with the Town Mayor, she found out that there was another house available for the same price. However, it was on prime land with a high value and owned by the Mayor. The Mayor offered to exchange the property with Sona if she could make a small donation to their social club. The Mayor also offered to speak to the City Brokers to change the details of the property and assured her that an exchange could be done. She paid the donation of $50,000.00 to the Mayor. Seven days after meeting the Mayor, City Brokers contacted Sona and told her that the house is no longer available as it was burnt down and that they will retain the money for another property as per the terms of the bidding offer. The Mayor did not arrange for his property exchange.
