Kevin didn't answer Ivy's question, he only nodded his head a few times. Meanwhile the bidding had reached its peak. The bids were up to up to forty five million dollars and there weren't many people left with enough money to join in. Suddenly an older man raised his paddle and said "sixty million dollars!".The room fell silent. They all look over to the old man who was dressed in a slightly old fashioned pin striped suit. "I can't believe all these people think that this is so valuable." Kevin said to himself."Sixty million going once, sixty million going twice, sold for sixty million dollars." The auctioneer said as she banged the gavel on the table. "Congratulations to the gentleman in the pin striped suit for this unique purchase." Suddenly the entire room burst into a boisterous round of applause.A lot of people were uneasy with it. This older gentleman looked unfamiliar to them as far as they were could tell he was virtually unknown to them in the Chicago business world. But
As everyone watched, Kevin walked over to the man and announced, "He was poisoned by that useless expired herbal pill. Even if he were sent to the hospital right now, it wouldn't help. But he only swallowed it a couple of minutes ago; the poison hasn't spread to his internal organs yet." Kevin explained. Then he turned to look at the woman and said, "If you trust me, let me save your grandfather, but we can't delay any longer." "You really have a way to save him?" She asked incredulously. "Don't trust him; he's just good for nothing." Isaac suddenly busted out, "Kevin, stop pretending you know what you're doing." When the onlookers realized who Kevin was, they remembered all the awful rumors that Jason had been spreading about him and began to have their doubts. They started whispering all sorts of insulting things. This gave the young woman some misgivings, but when she saw the confident smile on Kevin's face, she decided to trust him. "I'll let you try." She said but she warned
Kevin stepped out of the car, took one of the necklaces, and gave it to Mrs. Wilson. "This one's yours." She shivered and said, "Thank you, Mr. Williams.""I still have some things to take care of; please head back to the office without me." Kevin said it nonchalantly. "Thank you again; I'm so lucky to work for a CEO like you." Mrs. Wilson said excitedly as she walked away holding the dream lover necklace.Truman and the other two were shocked; of course they knew who Mrs. Wilson was, but did she actually call Kevin CEO? "When did this piece of trash-free loading by the Jones family become the CEO of Williams Media?" Isaac said more to himself as his face turned red.Truman was absolutely floored; he never expected this. Kevin took out another necklace from the box and walked over to Ivy. With a big smile, he said, "This one's for you." Ivy didn't reach out right away. Instead, she stared at Kevin for a while and then asked, "You're the CEO of Williams Media?""Who would have guessed?
"Jeez, don't be so impatient." Officer Helene complained, and then she realized that something wasn't right. It seemed that calling Kevin for help was getting easier and easier."Well?" Kevin said it restlessly. "I'll get straight to the point." Officer Helene said. Then she looked around and asked him, "Have you heard anything about the myriads?""Why do you ask?" Of course Kevin had heard of them; he'd been with two of them a couple of hours ago. "Would you be willing to infiltrate their organization?" Officer Helene asked as she looked deeply into Kevin's eyes.Kevin spat out his drink. He looked at her in surprise and said, "You've got to be kidding. You have so many highly trained officers; how could I be of any help?""It's precisely because you haven't had any specialized training that you could be ideal for this." Officer Helene said as she sighed helplessly. "We have good intelligence that the myriads are going to set up a branch in Veridonia in the near future. My superiors
"Are you his wife?" One of the officers suddenly asked. "No, no, no, Mr. Williams and I are only friends," Dr. Willow blushed. "I can understand your feelings, but those are the facts. You can go down to the ICU and take a look for yourself," the officer said very seriously.The officer had never seen anything like it. It was a vicious beating. "Impossible. My son is gentle and courteous. He would never hit someone like that. You must have made a mistake." Susan informed him."Sometimes family members are in denial. Can you please confirm that this is a photo of your son?" As the officer spoke, he showed them a photo of Kevin wearing an orange jumpsuit.Alan, Susan, and Dr. Willow were completely dumbfounded. At the same time that this was going on, Lily received a call from the police station. When she told her mother that Kevin had been arrested, .Martha almost fainted. It was one thing to have a useless son-in-law, but now he was in prison? How embarrassing.Meanwhile, Kevin was si
A group of prisoners immediately surrounded Kevin. "Please. Gentlemen, I'm not looking for any trouble. I was just saying hello to my old friend over there," Kevin said in a calm and composed tone of voice.He wasn't afraid at all. Stewart kept watching Kevin with interest. Just as the group was about to attack, a prison guard walked over to them, waving his baton."Is there some trouble here? I'd hate to see any of you get more time added to your sentences." Kevin raised his eyebrows when he saw the guard. He had a very confident attitude, and the inmates seemed to respect his authority.Meriwether's expression suddenly changed, and he got very polite. There's no problem here, officer. We're just joking around. "Don't think that you can bully the new guys just because you've been here so long. No one causes trouble on my watch. I don't care who it is." The guard said it very seriously."I understand. Don't worry, officer. We're all getting along just fine." Meriwether said as he smil
Sitting on the chair next to him was a middle-aged man in a business suit. He had put his pharmaceutical sample case on the coffee table in front of them. But there was something about him that was a little too menacing for him to be a simple pharmaceutical rep."May I ask why you called me to York on such short notice?" The man asked in a deep voice. "Please. This is a serious matter, Mr. Roundtree. One of my grandchildren has disappointed us greatly. He went so far as to bring outsiders into our home to fight with us. I need to do something to protect my family, and I know that you have the resources to help." Randall said it sorrowfully."Our products aren't for everyone. It takes a lot of preparation and training, too." Roundtree replied as he shook his head. "That's why I brought you here." Randall said. Then he hesitated for a moment before he continued."I've heard that Light Street Lab has an herbal pill just for this purpose." That's right, Mr. Williams. "The effect of our ne
"Nothing at all? Officer Helene asked. She was extremely disappointed. How could her plan have failed? Kevin hadn't found out anything the department could use."Nope, nothing. The guy is very careful about what he shares, Kevin said lightheartedly. "Anyway, I just spent two weeks in jail. How are you going to make it up to me?""What's that? You didn't even complete your mission, and you want me to make it up to you?" Officer Helene scoffed."Are you giving up on me already?" Kevin said it dejectedly. "What if I find out something about the Myriads in the future?""Do you have any idea what you're talking about? It's almost impossible to find out anything about them. We've been investigating them for so long, but we haven't found anything useful." Officer Helene hesitated for a moment before continuing."But let me warn you: you can't have any contact with them from now on. It's too dangerous." Then she hung up the phone without any warning."Damn, what the hell was that?" Kevin wond
