"How does that concern you? Did Cynthia tell you this?" Mlynar answered coldly.
"Oh, I think that is right. You don't even deny it," Ferdinand said.
"Why should I deny it? I don't think I should be bothered by what someone like you says."
Ferdinand wanted to ridicule Mlynar. He was so jealous to see him with those two beauties. "Don't be deceived by him. He is an unambitious person who sucks up to rich people."
Mlynar glared at him while Ferdinand smiled, thinking he was successful.
He faced Cellinina and Lapland. "Beauty, I am so sure that this rag man has deceived you just to take advantage of you and have an opportunity to get to this banquet."
"Really? Then I think that is a good thing," Cellinina answered. Cynthia raised her eyebrows at the response.
"He won't do anything good for you. He is just bad luck, and I am sure he just wants to con you. You deserve better than this lowlife man," Ferdinand ranted.
"You shouldn't—" Lapland tried to shun him and drive him away. But Cellinina held her back; she wanted to embarrass him and make him feel crazed.
She hid her identity as Saluzzo's president and switched to a filthy woman bewitched by a handsome man.
"Why should I care as long as I want him?" she said.
Ferdinand frowned, his expression darkening. "You want him? Someone as lowly as him?"
"As long as he is handsome and perfect for me," she said, moving closer to him.
Mlynar scoffed.
"He just wants to take advantage of your beauty and dump you, just as he did with his ex-wife here."
"Who cares? That's what I'm telling you. I want him. It doesn't concern me if he wants to take advantage of me. If that's his mission, I will be happy!" Cellinina laughed.
Ferdinand frowned at her response, and so did Cynthia.
Lapland chuckled at her sister's sudden behaviour.
"So, I think it's none of your concern what his mission is," Cellinina said, holding Mlynar tighter.
Ferdinand got very angry, how could she be so sturborn, how could she decided to stay with a guy that want to con her.
"So, because he is handsome to you, you want to allow him to swindle you".
"Why are you so repetitive, is non of your concern who I hang out with, I don't even know you, yet you are being rude... I think the lowlife here is you" cellinina yapped.
Ferdinand fumed, "rude? Just because I am advising you?".
"I don't want your advice please, and please allow this handsome man to con me", she said, now even more closer to him.
"You this filthy bitch" Ferdinand hauled. Lapland wanted to interfere as she can keep up with Ferdinand arrogance, but cellinina motioned her to halt.
"I don't know why you are angry just because I don't listen to you" cellinina said smiling.
This irritated secretary Riley, and she intervene, "sir, don't stress yourself on a bitch like her, and allow her to be stupid".
Cellinina scoffed, she achieved what she planned.
Cynthia, boiling in rage in where she was, her eyes bloody. She believed Mlynar has known cellinina to for a long time, and they are even together when Cynthia and mlynar were together.
"I don't know you are such a jerk, I misjudged you.. I did the right thing divorcing you". Cynthia uttered.
Cellinina decided to provoke Cynthia, "Thank you so much for divorcing him, if not how could I have opportunity to this handsome man".
Cynthia glazed at them, "I am stupid for blaming myself and feeling guilty, when you were just having fun with another woman when we aren't officially breakup".
"You initiate the divorce first and I signed it. So that makes it official" Mlynar said.
"You are such a jerk... This will be our end converstaion, and from today upward, we are just a stranger" Cynthia said.
"Okay, let it be that" Mlynar accepted, but this pained him, and he felt something tinged in his heart.
Cynthia then, decided to use Ferdinand to ridiculed Mlynar, just like how cellinina did.
"You are managed to be breathing, all because of us. You suck on us like a parasite, we clothed you, feed you, and even provide shelter on you. But you choose to bit us instead, ungrateful dog" Cynthia shrieked.
"I think you made it clear just now that they won't be any more conversation between the two of you, he is mine now" cellinina said.
"What does that concern you lady, you are just a lowlife like him, since you are sucking up unto him".
Cellinina smiled, "you think your new partner is better,. He is even more worse".
Cynthia scoffed, "do you even know him, he is the CEO of the coonley group, with many achievement, what has this Dustin bag achieved, none!".
Cellinina walked slowly towards her, "really, how about we make a bet".
Cynthia frowned, "what bet".
"A bet to see whoever would have a great achievement within a month".
Cynthia laughed out very hard, "really, then let's go on. Let see".
"Whoever win, we apologize to the other party and have to apologize that she is blind, and the loser will accept himself as the real loser and lowlife" cellinina proposed.
Ms. Riley laughed out very loud, "I can't believe you are having your hope high on this trash bag".
"The outcome of the bet will tell, are you still on it?" She glared at Cynthia.
Ferdinand intervened, "I can't believe they are comparing me to him, I mean this thing".
Cynthia smirked, she was confident that they are going to fail, to her Mlynar has nothing... Not even a home. So how could he win.
"Okay, I will bet on it", Cynthia calmly said.
Cynthia was so intelligent and calculative just as cellinina. She acquired all strategy to push Ferdinand higher more than this.
Cellinina aslo, being the president of saluzzo's family, had a good business idea, evaluation, and acquired the same strategy Cynthia had.
With both side armed with competitive spirit, the stage was set for a big showdown.
"let's go" Cynthia told her secretary, and they both left with Ferdinand and went back inside the banquet.
Cellinina smiled at Mlynar, "did I act well".
Lapland answered instead, "what a flop, it very obvious that she is classical that you, she beat you".
Mlynar acted like he wasn't care, but admitted it to himself that cellinina had helped him.
But at the same time, he wondered how he could achieved something big by the end of the month. He could only do that by revealing his true self, but he was not ready for that.
Meanwhile, cellinina had made up her to mind to win the bet, by supporting Mlynar at all cost.
Just as Cellinina and mlynar left, entering the set aside hall for honored guests, ms. Riley hissed, “I have never met someone stupid as her ''. Ferdinand chimed in, “she is beautiful, I wonder how she could let someone dirty and lowlife like him be with her”. Ferdinand was so just jealous, and angry as to how those beautiful women embarrassed him. “they are not even in the category with ms. Cynthia” ms. Riley said. Ferdinand tried to flatter Cynthia, "yes, she is not even more beautiful than Cynthia". "Yes, someone could easily see how classical and high Standard you are Ms. Cynthia" Ms. Riley said. Cynthia exhaled loudly in frustration, “please shut up, that;s okay, we should focus on what we are here for… you know that I must be among one of the collaborators, so I would like which of saluzzo’s family is in charge of tonight’s party”. Ferdinand got disappointed at the response, he was finding all ways to make Cynthia trust him so he could have his way. “Ma'am, I could help,
"Ferdinand, goodbye. I'm sorry, I need to go," Cynthia said. Ferdinand looked at her in disbelief as she headed in; Ms. Riley followed.Ferdinand tried his best to make his way in, but all to no avail. He breathed like an angry dragon ready to spew fire at any moment.However, he couldn't dare do anything; he had heard rumors about the cruelty and strength of the Saluzzo family's bodyguards.*****In the hall, the venue shimmered with sparkling chandeliers, casting a soft glow over the beautifully set space. A sea of elegantly dressed guests swirled through the spacious ballroom, creating a harmony of excitement with their laughter and giggles.Mlynar sat gently resting on the chair, calmly observing the audience and the performance of the artists. Meanwhile, Cynthia unconsciously stood beside Mlynar.Ms. Riley saw him and remarked, "Wow, see this rat that sneaked himself in; you even dare to relax."Mlynar chose peace and didn't even look at them. "Don't you hear I am talking to you?
Cynthia was troubled and couldn't even stand in one place after the bad news. This is a big loss for her. Just then, a male staff approached her, “Are you Mrs. Cynthia, the president of the cloud company?” he asked. Cynthia, anticipating being kicked out, answered with a low tone, “Yes, I am.” “Congratulations, you have been chosen as one of the Saluzzo family partners,” he said. Cynthia raised her head in surprise, thinking she had heard it wrong, “I... am chosen?” “Yes, you will soon be called by the First Lady for a one-on-one meeting. Bye,” he said and left. Cynthia looked at Ms. Riley, who also gazed at her in surprise, “I can’t believe this. I thought we were about to be kicked out!” Ms. Riley smiled, “Wow, I think the heavens are helping us.” "Are you sure about what your friend said about kicking us out?" Cynthia asked Ms. Riley for confirmation. "Yes, I am sure, ma’am," she said. Just then, her phone rang, and it was from her friend. She put it on loudspeaker so Cynth
Ferdinand still on his knees, "Please, I am sorry for my foolish act. I didn't know who you were then." Kyle laughed out hysterically, "Good thing you know your place. Since you have done the right thing, I will just leave you." Ferdinand nodded, "Thank you." During their talk, Saluzzo's security were already guiding the entrance. But they were outnumbered by the Tony velvet gang. "You think you can stop us, no way! Breach in!" Kyle yelled. The gang and the security faced each other. The security tried to push them back, but they couldn't. Ferdinand managed to squeeze himself in. He immediately rushed toward Cynthia before the gang could get there. "Cynthia, we have to go now!" He said, holding her hand. Cynthia hesitated without budging. "Cynthia! We have to go now; you know the Tony velvet gang —they are merciless. They can do horrible things. You heard how they mauled people," Ferdinand said, dragging her along. But the gang had already made their way in, and Kyle approac
Kyle got back on his feet again, "All that she said is true. I am going to kill you and this woman here. I will find everyone closer to you and make them have a tragic end. They will all die because of you." Mlynar chuckled, "Do you think I am scared of your threats? I will kill you before you even do that." Cynthia got angrier, surprised at how stubborn Mlynar had become. She didn't want any trouble for him. "Don't you hear, Mlynar? I said it's none of your concern. Just because you're good in martial arts doesn't mean you can put our lives in danger. You will put our lives in danger," Cynthia scolded. Cellinina folded her arms, observing the event. She was enjoying it. Mlynar shot back at Cynthia, "Why do you always think about yourself? I helped you, and you are blaming me?" Ferdinand decided to take advantage, chiming in, "How is this help? You just jeopardized our safety." Mlynar scoffed, "I can't believe someone that was hiding around has the right to talk." People laughe
Mr. Tony's eyes lingered on Cynthia in a leering way, while she stood uncomfortably by the doorstep. "Enter and sit down," Mr. Tony said, gesturing at her. Cynthia bowed and took a seat, while Mr. Tony sat opposite her. "I am here to ask for forgiveness for what happened to your son today," Cynthia started. Mr. Tony scoffed, "asking for forgiveness? We, the Tony velvet gang, never forgive. We go by the saying 'eye for an eye and tooth for tooth.'" Cynthia exhaled, "your son… he started it first, he flirted with me and even molested me." "What are you here for, blame or forgiveness?" Mr. Tony frowned, then picked one of the cigarettes in front of him. The bodyguard with them lit it for him. He inhaled it, puffing the smoke right straight at Cynthia. Cynthia blinked, "I am here to ask for forgiveness and forget about all that happened today." Mr. Tony nodded, "I heard a man broke my son's nose and beat up tens of my gang, which I don't believe. Where is the man?" Cynthia gulped,
The Guards pointed guns at Cynthia and Mlynar; Cynthia hid behind Mlynar. "Who are you to barge in here… Are you the man that broke my son's nose?" Mr. Tony said. Mlynar chose not to say anything; he glared at them. "I think I'm right. I heard you beat up tens of my gangs with only bare hands. Let's see if that's true," Mr. Tony smirked, then brought out and pointed a gun at Cynthia. "If you don't want her dead, surrender and kneel down," Mr. Tony said. Mlynar scanned them, considering knocking them out, but he hesitated, not wanting to put Cynthia's life in danger. He chose to kneel down, looking for an opportunity. Mr. Tony himself dragged Cynthia away from him. "Leave me, get your stinky hand away from me!" she hauled. Mr. Tony, now very angry, hit the buttom of the gun on her, and instantly, she passed out. Mr. Tony smirked and faced Mlynar. "So there you are. I thought you were a god, beating up my armed thugs, but it was all just an exaggeration." Mlynar prepared to ch
Ms. Riley made the call, Ferdinand's heart beat like it could leave its place."Hell, Mr. Frendy (also known as Mr. Finley), sorry for disturbing you… Thanks for saving Ms. Cynthia, if not because of you, she would have been in great danger.""It's okay, I had to do that," he answered."On whose person's request do you come, please? Ms. Cynthia wants to know so she could appreciate the person.""Mmm. I came by the Saluzzo family's request; you are going to be their new partner. They don't want you to be in danger."Cynthia's expression changed to anger as she gave Ferdinand a cold stare; he bent his head down in shame."Are… are you really sure it wasn't from Mr. Ferdinand or the Coonley Group president?" Ms. Riley asked in awe."Yes, and the Ferdinand I know is someone who get casually involve himself with rubbish, unlike Mlynar, whom I found at the scene.""okay, Thanks", she hung up.Ms. Riley was embarrassed; she trusted Ferdinand and believed in him. "Why did you claim your fathe
