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
Jackie stared at Evan sternly. The anger in his eyes was obvious. In his opinion, Evan was nothing more than a dog by Michael’s side. Michael only seemed rich and powerful because his boss allowed Michael to do so out of courtesy! If not for his boss not wanting to hold them responsible, how could they have possibly left the casino alive that day? Evan’s face instantly became somber. He also understood that Kingzillion Casino was the largest casino in Mirvania. There was no way it would be able to make it to this point if they did not have some real authority and power. There was no need for Kingzillion Casino to deny having done such a thing. If the casino’s boss did not ask to meet Ivanka, then it must have been someone else! “Thank you for letting me know. Something has happened on our end. As assurance, we’ve already paid up to one-third of the ten trillion dollars. We’ll settle the remaining payment after we’ve finished handling the problem on our end. If you’re stil
“It’s a coincidence,” the man standing across from her said indifferently. He wore a black mask. Although it only showed his jaw and chin, he appeared cold and aloof. Those dark eyes did not hold any warmth in them either. Ivanka saw him and the people behind him put away their guns. “You think I’d believe that?” Ivanka scoffed at once. If he showed up alone and said it was a coincidence, she would have believed him. But this man brought his men and dealt with those who were trying to kill her. He was ruthless and decisive. Who would bring so many people along with them if they were to save someone by “coincidence”? “I happened to know that someone is trying to harm you. Is this how you treat your savior?” Alexander could not help but narrow his eyes. He stared at Ivanka, who looked indifferent, in front of him. This woman really was not grateful at all! If he had been any later, Eleanor’s men would have already taken her life. Then, they would have recorded the
“Michael?” Tanya walked in and pushed the door open, only to see Michael dripping wet. His shirt clung to the lines on his body. His toned muscles were shown clearly. At that moment, he looked alluring. Although Michael’s consciousness was getting wrecked by the drug, he still held on to a small part of his rationality from splashing himself with cold water, as Xander instructed. When he heard the voice, Michael looked toward the sound. Tanya stood in the doorway, under the light. Although Chiara told her that Michael had already drunk the spiked drink and told her to hurry up, she still panicked. Just in case, she was even wearing a special mask that looked exactly like Ivanka’s face. Even so, she still felt a little guilty. “Iv?” Michael noticed the face. Under the light, the skin was smooth like cream, and she looked beautiful. Michael immediately stood up at the same time as he called out. He was swaying. When he almost fell, Tanya rushed toward him at onc
“Go away!” Michael bellowed. His eyes were bloodshot and icy.The drug was taking effect. His rationality was slipping away.However, on the edge of losing control, Tanya’s actions were like a cold splash of water that shocked him back to reality.Ivanka would never be so forward, nor would she ever engage in such a seductive display.Tanya had never been yelled at like that. At that moment, she had set aside all her pride and dignity. Ignoring how uneasy this would make her feel, she reached out and tore away the last of her clothing.“Michael, it’s me, Ivanka. I’ve thought it through. We can get back together. I realize I still can’t get over you. I love you!“After the divorce, I realized none of those men can compare to you. None of them are as good as you.”Michael’s anger did not deter Tanya. She continued to approach him. Her bare feet padded seductively on the floor with each step.Michael’s vision blurred, but Ivanka’s face remained sharply in focus and more vivid th
