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, I have a friend working closely for the Saluzzo family, she will surely know who is in charge” she said and dive her hand in her pulse, taking out her phone and calling her friend, after some minutes of talking, she hangs up.“she said, the first lady will head the banquet by herself” ms. Riley said.Cynthia wondered who the first lady is, “we have to find out who this first lady is, and know if we can have our way to her, and have some talk, can you ask your friend if she can possibly arrange a meeting for us”.“okay, I will, but I can’t assure you if she can really do that” ms. Riey said.Cynthia nodded, she was so confident that if she met the first lady, she was going to recgognize her as one of the collaborators.She entered the guest of honour hall, ms. Riley followed, as Ferdinand was about to enter, two of the bodyguards stopped him, “you can’t enter, you are not allowed here.”.Ferdinand scoffed unbelievably, “I am not allowed, do you even know what you are saying, you know who I am?’’.“we don’t care, you can’t enter here” one of the bodyguard said.Cynthia wait, looking at them and wondering what’s happening.Ferdinand Was confused and startled by this. Even mlynar have his way in. then why are they refusing him from entering."Are you sure you are not mistaking me for that rag bag that just entered?".The bodyguard walked a little closer to him, "You, I said you are not allowed here" he emphasized.“I am Ferdinand, the only heir of the coonley family” he announced, and at the same time want to force his way in, the bodyguards pushed him back.“Yes we know, and that is the reason you are not Allowed. All coonley families are prohibited to enter”, the bodyguard said.Ferdianad looked confused looking at Cynthia.Cellinina was the one that ordered the bodyguard to do so, so she could embarssed Ferdinand more further.****After mlynar and cellinina entered the hall, cellinina wanted to go and review the qualification of the collaborators, she arranged Lapland to take Care of the mlynar, while they wait for her in the hall.“Please, I will be back,” she said, excusing herself. Mlynar sat down as everyone wondered who he was.Cellinina entered the room set aside for her and had a quick review of the six collaborators.Then, she stopped when she found cynthia’s resume, so she was one of the collaborators too? She wondered to herself.And had a review of the vertex company, she was surprised to see that three years ago, the vertex company had been a very small company. However, due to a large amount with an unknown source, they boom and become one of the top companies in belloberg. It is very obvious Cynthia received help.Then, she reviewed Cynthia's file and saw that she married three years ago, and that was the same time when the company started booming..Was it just a coincidence?.“mlynar, who really are you… I am very sure you are the one that helped her” she uttered to herself.Maybe mlynar who wasn’t the one everyone thought.“stupid of you Cynthia for losing someone so valuable, and good in every aspect. You married him when you were nothing, but now you divorce him after he pushed you to the sky”.“Anyway, she just gave me a chance to make him mine, and I will surely make him mine,” she said.The staff in front of her wondered what cellinina was thinking, “don’t you like her”.“yes I don’t” cellinina simply answered.“Then let's have her out of the list, let's disqualify her,” the staff said.Cellinina nodded, “no, gave it to Lapland, and told her to give mlynar, to decide if we should accept them or not ''.The staff wondered how she could let anybody decide that, but she didn’t dare ask a question. She collected it.“Ma'am, the leader of the Tony velvet gang is waiting outside,” the staff said. Cellinina looked confused and asked, “Who is this gang?”.“they were the one that attacked you today, the leader is the one waiting for you outside”.Cellinina was baffled at the audacity of the gang, they are just an ordinary gang in lothric. It was clearly shown that someone was behind them. The real enemy.“I will just have my bodyguard annihilate all of them, how dare them” she said, but then, she thought. This was an opportunity to make the saluzzo family recognize mlynar.She will have him face them, so they would mistakenly think that mlynar has formed an alliance with her.She smiled at herself, “just wait mlynar, as I will let you become high, higher than your ex wife and make her regret”.*******Ferdinand was so angry, "How… how could they prohibit the coonley family from entering, this is an embarrassment!".The bodyguard didn't give him a response any longer."I can't take this, even that dust bag has his way in. How can you allow him enter and prohibited all the coonley family" he ranted"Please stay back while we are still nice," one of the bodyguards said."No, I am not staying back, you can't just embarrass me like this and the whole coonley family. Mlynar get in there, then why can't I!" He hauled."How could they not Mr. Ferdinand entered?" Ms. Riley wondered aloud.Cynthia noticed Ferdinand kept talking about Mlynar having his way in, he was just so jealous of him. He was even more angry that Mlynar entered than him not entering.Cynthia wondered to herself. Who could prohibit the whole coonley family.What has he done wrong.Then, she suddenly remembered the women that was with Mlynar. Maybe they are not just random people. They must have some high influence in the Saluzzo family."It must be the doing of the women" she told Ms. Riley, who looked surprised."We better stay out of this if I really want to become a collaborator," Cynthia said."So, we should leave him?" Ms. Riley was puzzled.Cynthia thought to herself, 'I know from the start you want to annex my company Ferdinand. Why should I care if you are allowed in or not'.Then, it happened."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
Mlynar and Lapland returned to the banquet where everyone had already left. They are afraid of Kyle's threat.Lapland told her about how they dealt with the gang."That's great, thanks Mlynar," Cellinina said, smiling."I did that for the well-being of people," he said."Anyway, you just annihilated one of the Saluzzo's enemy y. I will tell others that you have formed an alliance with me, and you will become one of the Saluzzo family," Cellinina said.Mlynar nodded, "No need for that, thanks. I appreciate it," he said. The truth was Mlynar needed the Saluzzo family, but he didn't want to be through Cellinina. He didn't want to use her so that Cellinina wouldn't feel betrayed.Because he was going to hijack the power from them."You will have no choice than to join us," she said, then faced Lapland, "Do the investigation and find those that were behind the Tony Velvet gang."She nodded and left."I would be going; today is my wife's grandfather's birthday. They are organizing a night pa
