A luxurious Bugatti La Voiture Parfaite vehicle arrived in the grand lobby of a large hotel on Golden Island, which was to host the largest auction ever seen in Southlake City that evening. Of course, many people knew the car belonged to Arthur Gardner, a person whose name had been gaining increasing attention in recent times. However, contrary to many people's expectations, the figure that stepped out of the car was not the one they were expecting.Two girls emerged from the car, their perfect and stunningly beautiful appearances immediately drawing the attention of the crowd. The first had brown hair and was dressed in an executive style; a white top, black suit, and maroon skirt. She was Sylvia Morin, a trusted figure in Arthur's business, which he had appointed CEO of all his companies.The second possessed a unique look, a mix of Asian and Western features, her black hair contrasting against her suit. This was Alicia Morel, usually seen in her bodyguard outfit, yet this time wear

Chapter 173 - Auctions of the Elite The atmosphere in the event hall was buzzing, with participants sitting quietly in their seats according to their assigned numbers, Alicia and Sylvia among them. Waiters were bustling around the banquet tables, which were laden with a number of dishes from renowned chefs. “At last, we'll get to see a real show, right Sylvia?” Alicia asked, her gaze drawn to the main stage, where the host was set up. “I can hardly wait,” Sylvia replied, her expression growing more intense as she scanned the room, taking in every meticulously-prepared detail. The splendor of the event was enhanced by the presence of tight security around the building as the event began. Additionally, the spotlights on the stage, which had already added to the artistic impression, now reflected their colorful light, making the event even more vibrant. “Ladies and gentlemen,” the host announced, “let us discuss an interesting and potentially fruitful topic for a bright future.

"I will take over this auction," Eliza declared on stage.At the same time, the host was visibly startled, walking backwards."Whoever placed the bid must transfer the money immediately. If someone loses, I'll take half of the money from them. With these rules, I won't allow anyone to play around, and I'm sure this auction will end peacefully," she continued, explaining her plan.Patrick stared intently at Eliza, a faint smile finally appearing on his lips. "So it seems you're also interested in helping me destroy Arthur Gardner," he said, his voice tinged with excitement. "That way I can drain his entire fortune, all in one night." He was sure that he would be able to come out with a big win that night.Sylvia then looked towards the stage and clapped towards Eliza. “I am very honored to have someone helping to strengthen my position," she said confidently. "This way I'm sure no one will underestimate me again. As Arthur Gardner's representative, I stand firm and determined to see th

Arthur sat peacefully on the quarter deck of the extravagant cruise ship, basking in the refreshing and cooling sea breeze. His face beamed with joy and tranquility as he gazed out over the expansive blue ocean. It was still early in the morning, the sun's rays shimmering on the water's surface, as if inviting him into a remarkable journey.The Cruise Ship, with its impressive size and lavish amenities, set off on its journey to Shoulake, carrying them. As the vessel sped through the seemingly endless expanse of ocean, there was no land in sight, giving Arthur a sense of freedom and adventure as if he was discovering a brand new world."Mr. Gardner!" came a voice from behind, and when Arthur spun around, he saw Alicia and Carolina approaching. If it weren't for Alicia's Asian features, they could easily have been mistaken for twins, given that their personalities were more similar than those of Celine and Carolina, who were actual twins."Arthur Oppa..." Alicia said brightly, as she d

After returning to Southlake, Arthur had many things he needed to attend to, including the acquisition of the companies required for his projects - one of which was a television station, which he had purchased, though this time, he did not use his name. Edna walked into Arthur's office room with a wide smile on her face. "So, I was wondering what you had planned for this television station you just obtained, boss," she said in a gentle tone. Arthur grinned and picked up the cup of coffee sitting in front of him. "It seems that many people have missed Mr. Glitzy, don't you think, Edna?" "I certainly do, boss," she responded. "What can I do to help you with this project?" "Not much. I want to appear on television tonight. I want to make sure everyone in this country hears what I have to say," Arthur answered. "Hm..." Edna murmured softly. "Considering what you're used to, I'm really looking forward to the stunt you'll pull off this time, boss." Arthur Gardner had created a holding
