Ivanka knew she could not let her aura falter.The next morning, Michael arrived early and knocked on her door.He expected her to answer in pajamas with messy hair. But to his surprise, she was dressed in a light pink blazer and skirt suit. Her low ponytail was tied with a matching hairband. She looked both beautiful and sophisticated.“What’s with that look?” Ivanka frowned as she noticed his gaze.“I thought you’d still be asleep.”Ivanka rolled her eyes at him. “And yet, you still knocked on my door?”“I had Evan line up early to grab a spot,” Michael continued. He was unfazed by her remark.“Line up?” Ivanka was surprised.“Yes, Kingzillion Casino decided not to accept reservations for this auction. It’s first come, first served.”According to Evan, the scene was packed.Ivanka scoffed. “Kingzillion Casino is just making a big deal out of this auction for the Ganoderma nebula.”The lineup system allowed everyone to see how eager people were to secure a spot, emphasizing
The foreign woman noticed the ferocity and indifference in Michael’s eyes. Besides, they were in a crowded area. For a moment, she felt like he had embarrassed her. She also realized that Michael was not someone to mess around with. Hence, she looked down glumly and quickly left. “Sorry. Since she’s left, we don’t need to add on.” Ivanka returned the menu to the attendant. “We’re leaving.” Michael’s expression was absolutely dark. Right after he blurted out the words, he sprang up.Ivanka knew he was very angry at the moment, but they had already placed an order for the food. The attendant instantly called out to Michael and stopped him. “Sir, the chef is preparing the food you’ve ordered.” “I can choose not to eat it.” With a frown, Michael replied to the attendant curtly. “Sir, even if you’re not eating the food, you still need to pay for it.” Michael instantly took out dozens of dollars from his wallet and flung them at the attendant. Since Michael was already actin
Meanwhile, Tanya was already well-prepared. Blake came to pick her up. Although he did not bring her the golden key, he repeatedly assured her. “Don’t worry. Whatever you lay your eyes on during the auction tonight, I’ll do my best to help you.” “Shut up until you’re able to bid something off the auction.” Even though Tanya did not have the urge to kill Blake, it was clear to see that she hated him to the marrow of her bones. Blake said nothing. He solicitously became her driver. While they were on the way, Tanya received Chiara’s call. “Hello, Ms. Tanya.” As usual, Chiara greeted her politely. Tanya felt disgusted upon hearing Chiara in a young girl’s voice. She thought it was so fake. Besides, Chiara had been the one who encouraged her to go to Mirvania. If not for Chiara’s encouragement, Tanya would not have taken the step in spite of her own desire. Hence, Chiara needed to bear the responsibilities in the case where Blake had taken Tanya’s virginity. “Just
Tanya pointed in the direction of the exit. Staring at her, Blake had no choice but to hold back his grief. Regardless, she was his love at first sight. No matter how she behaved, he would always dote on her. Meanwhile, Michael and Ivanka were inside the private room. The private rooms were separated from one another. They sat in the main seats with a clear view of the downstairs main hall. At that moment, the main hall had turned into an auction house. The auctioneer was ready. They waited for the time to come. “Didn’t you see Tanya?” Seeing that Michael was already seated and brewing coffee, Ivanka looked slightly puzzled. Michael knew what was in her mind. But he was still angry with her because of the previous event, so he said sulkily, “Does it matter?” Ivanka glanced at him and said calmly, “I’m surprised to see her here.” “She’s not the only one who came to this auction.” Many people came to the casino because of its popularity. Perhaps many people they k
“If Jake’s sudden wealth really has nothing to do with the Lumiere Divine Cup, why didn’t he throw it away? He became rich all of a sudden, but his career plummeted when he was 59 years old. That was because he lost it at that time,” the auctioneer added. The crowd under the stage inside the hall inevitably believed Jake’s story had something to do with the Lumiere Divine Cup. Still, many wondered why the bosses of Kingzillion Casino were not saving it for themselves. With the increasingly loud noises, the auctioneer said with a smile, “Have you heard of this saying, a nobleman helps others to achieve their goals? The Lumiere Divine Cup should be given to those who need it. Besides, with the owner of Kingzillion Casino’s current status, do you think they are short of money?” After the auctioneer finished his sentence, he stared pointedly at the person next to him. Within an instant, the lights were off, and the main hall turned pitch black. The vintage wine glass glowed in
“Fine. We’re not going to talk about money. We’ll do things based on my last sentence.” Ivanka was caught out by Michael’s question. She paused for a moment before continuing. Michael did not say anything else. Ivanka assumed his silence as admission. “200 million dollars.” Mr. George offered 200 million dollars for the Lumiere Divine Cup. Mr. Jacob got agitated and said to his lackeys, “Whatever Mr. George bids for tonight, follow him. Don’t worry about the money. I’ll pay for everything.” “300 million dollars.” “500 million dollars.” Mr. George added 200 million dollars to his bid. He got agitated. They were wealthy men. The moment they decided to bid for an auction lot, and with somebody else bidding the same lot with them, things got rough. They would try to oppress the other party. After all, regardless of the amount of money spent, it was their dignity that mattered the most. After Mr. George increased his bid by 200 million dollars, Mr. Jacob refused to admit def
As Ivanka expected, the minimum opening bid for the Ganoderma nebula had changed. It was no longer 100 million dollars but 500 million dollars. Many people came from far away just to bid for the famous Ganoderma nebula. It was impossible for humans not to fall sick, and wealthy men wanted to live a long life or even become immortals. “1 billion dollars.” The man inside the private room that had successfully bid for the Golden Burial Suit raised his bid card. His room was opposite Ivanka and Michael’s. Even though the rooms were separated, they were opposite each other, so Ivanka and Michael could see everything inside the private room. Aside from seeing a tall, tanned bodyguard in a black suit inside the private room, they saw no one else. However, Ivanka noticed a raising hand behind the black beaded curtain. It was a man’s hand. He wore a black suit and was big-boned. The man did not reveal himself. But undeniably, he was filthy rich, and powerful. He had successf
Was this… the same person? When this thought flashed through Ivanka’s mind, the man with the silver-white mask had already turned around. Ivanka felt that no matter what, this man with the silver-white mask was no ordinary person. She was about to talk to Micheal about this when she heard a knock on their private room’s door. Michael gave Evan a look. Evan went to open the door. The host was making a speech for the auction’s closing ceremony. But at the moment, they were more concerned about the person seeking them out. The door opened. Several tall men in black suits with the same buzz-cut hair appeared in front of them. One of the men who was more tanned stepped forward. He nodded toward Ivanka as he said, “Are you Ms. Lane? We’re from Kingzillion Casino. Our boss would like to see you.” “If there’s anything he wants, he can come here and say it in person,” Michael instantly frowned and said coldly. He had seen that man once before on the rooftop. That man did not s
