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
Chiara was calling. Tanya was still furious. Then, she remembered Chiara said that she would make the plans for tonight. But she had waited for her plans till after the auction had ended. Everyone had left too. How was she supposed to meet Michael anymore? “Are you toying with me?” Tanya spat. “I’m not. I’ve arranged for everything. Isn’t Michael in the room next to yours? He just drank some spiked wine. If you go over there now, wouldn’t this be a perfect chance encounter?” Chiara’s cute young girl’s voice made her sound so innocent. As soon as Tanya heard this, her eyes lit up. “Are you sure? You aren’t just trying to make me happy, right?” After all, the auction was already over. It was normal for Tanya to question it. However, she was still hopeful after hearing these words. If Chiara did not lie to her, then this would be the perfect chance encounter. This way, she could blame Michael for the loss of her virginity, even though that was not true. When the time
His throat was unusually dry. His gut felt tight. There was a rush of heat coming from within him. Even though the air conditioning was turned on in the room, his whole body still felt hot. Considering his situation, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the drink he just had. Michael’s expression grew sullen as he immediately took out his phone and dialed Xander’s number. He was in Mirvania. Xander was back at home. There was a time zone difference. However, it so happened that Xander was on-call in the hospital today. When he received Michael’s call, he frowned slightly. He was a little surprised. “Yeah?” Based on the current time, Michael should be lying down and resting in Mirvania. His intuition told him that Michael’s call meant that something was not right, considering the hour. In the next second, he heard Michael gasp while saying, “I’ve been drugged with an aphrodisiac. How do I deal with it?” Xander frowned slightly. Michael was so careful. How
