The invited guests immediately mentioned their prices, as the Master of Ceremony officially started opening the bidding."$110.000!""$120.000!""$150.000!"Within a short span of time, the bidding price had reached $200,000. Johan, who saw that, immediately opened his bid."$250.000!"Of course, the price wasn't finalized yet, as the next second another guest joined in the bidding."$270.000!""$280.000!"Rosaline, who heard the bids from the other guests start to increase drastically, immediately forced Daniel to speak up. She was worried that the dress she loved would fall into someone else's hands."Alright, Honey. It's time for me to step in!" Daniel grasped Rosaline's hand tightly to try and convince her that the dress would still go to them."$300.000!"Just as Daniel mentioned the number, another guest made a higher offer."$310.000!"Johan, on the other hand, didn't want to be left out. He voiced his bid again, which ended up at $400,000.However, the price was still too low.
All the eyes of the auction participants were drawn to the source of the sound, and found a man smiling broadly, while the woman beside him showed a worried expression.Some people started discussing amongst themselves, not knowing the identity of the two people. While others knew a little about them, especially the guest who came from Eastland City.Benjamin also noticed the figure who had just shocked the whole room, but he had absolutely no information about his background. Sean Kingston who saw the confusion on Benjamin's face immediately whispered softly."Manager Ben, those two people are Mr. Henry and Miss Lily, the son-in-law and daughter of the Wilson family in Eastland City. They..." Sean Kingston shared what little he knew about Henry and Lily.Benjamin who heard that held his breath when Sean Kingston said that Henry and Lily came from a poor little family because the Wilson family seemed to have neglected and alienated them. So, why did this man confidently bid for the au
The room fell silent after Henry made an offer of $5,000,000. If someone had taken a sip of saliva at that moment, everyone would have been able to hear it clearly. They were silent for a long time. Many in the audience opened and closed their mouths, but no words came out.The amount of $5,000,000 was indeed not a small price, but it was also not a problem for the guests here, as all of them came from wealthy families, but they would also think dozens of times about spending such a fantastic amount of money just to buy an item. Moreover, their property is family property, not a kind of personal property.Meanwhile, Henry, a man who was considered came from a poor family, had the courage to name such a large bidding price, as if the amount was not a big deal to him."This man is really rich, or just wants to continue his drama so that Mr. Daniel doesn't win the auction?""I don't know either, but judging from his serious face, I feel confident that he can afford to pay the bill. Just
"Thank you, Mr. Daniel. You made the right choice this time. Finally, after all this time spinning around, you finally realize where you are. Your destiny this time is indeed to be the defeated one." Henry smiled sarcastically, as if mocking Daniel, as he officially withdrew from the bidding. Thus, Henry was confirmed to be the winner of this auction.Actually, Daniel felt very insulted by what Henry had just said. Unfortunately, that time he really couldn't do much. He was unable to surpass Henry that night, but that didn't mean he felt he had lost completely. Daniel himself didn't say anything and immediately asked Rosaline to leave the room, even though the event wasn't actually over yet. He didn't want to wait any longer, as it would hurt his pride even more. Henry had really humiliated him in front of so many people.'Henry, I won't forget this humiliation, you've dug your own grave! I promise to make you regret this humiliation you have done to me!' Daniel promised to remember H
After the auction event, Henry met the committee to pay the bill for the auction he won. Henry came alone because Lily had previously chosen to return to the room because she felt nauseous. Actually, Henry was reluctant to leave Lily, but since she said she would be fine, he hurried to get the dress they had gotten."Wait for me, baby!" Henry muttered under his breath as he walked quickly.Arriving at the place, he immediately paid all the bills using his black card. After that, Henry headed back to his room half-running because he was still worried about Lily's condition.It turned out that when Henry arrived at the room, Lily was fine. She only felt nauseous because of the baby in her womb."Thank goodness then, I can rest easy now." Henry smiled slightly, before handing her the dress he had taken.Meanwhile, Lily was so happy when she received the dress, she even held it very carefully because she knew the price was a fantastic amount. This was the first time Lily had gotten such a
Sean Kingston who heard that Henry wanted to buy a house then offered to help, because Sean Kingston happened to have an acquaintance who was the owner of a property company. According to him, it would be easier for Henry to get the ideal house for him and Lily there. Moreover, the house they were selling was of high quality and luxury."Oh, really?" Henry raised one eyebrow. "In that case, I will visit the company you recommended, Mr. Kingston." he continued agreeing to the offer from the mayor of Eastland City.Later, Sean Kingston also offered to accompany Henry directly to the property company in question, but Henry immediately refused subtly."No need to do that, Mr. Kingston. I will go there alone. But, thank you very much for your offer." Henry argued that he did not want to trouble Sean Kingston further, especially not for his personal matters."No need to be shy, Mr. Henry. I'm glad I could help you for real." Sean Kingston wanted to help Henry anyway, he even wanted to call
It was early in the morning when Henry and Lily were packing. They ended the trip earlier than they should have to prepare for the emerald group's mega project meeting."Honey, I'm sorry if my work made our vacation end early."Henry shook his head softly. A faint smile was etched on his face, with his arms wrapped tightly around Lily's waist, Henry said that he didn't mind it."We can continue our vacation another time, dear. After this project is over, we can go somewhere more interesting than Paradise Island."Lily smiled fondly; in recent times, her husband had always given her wonderful surprises.Seeing his wife being so cute, Henry couldn't help but pull Lily into his arms.Some moment later, the two of them exited from the hotel. The bodyguard that Oliver Wood had assigned was waiting in the lobby. Upon seeing Henry and Lily's arrival, the bodyguard bowed and opened the car door."Please come in, Sir and Madam."Henry smiled and nodded and explained to Lily that the person who
The woman's arrival made Henry and Lily ignore Johan as if he was not there. Henry greeted her arrival with a faint smile while Lily looked so enthusiastic that she put her arm around the girl’s shoulders."My sweet lady, I've been looking for you." Lily put her arms around the woman, looking from head to toe. "You look different from the last time we met."The woman smiled sweetly. The twinkle in her eyes suggested that she was very happy to see Lily. "Miss, how are you? Did you have a good vacation?""Very, very nice! My husband can make me smile every time. It's just that..." Lily's face suddenly changed. It went from being very happy to looking annoyed."It's just what, Miss?" the woman asked curiously."It's just that there are some annoying flies and mites that annoy me. You know, it's really annoying."The woman clasped Lily's hands together as she said, "Miss, there's no need to ignore their annoying presence. Look... there is a husband who is always willing to give you happin
Finally, the wedding day between Daisy Miller and Richard Forger has arrived. If it weren't for the Miller’s Family, maybe the wedding preparations couldn't have been completed in just three days. But, everything can be taken care of with money and connections. And, Miller’s Family have them all. “Daisy! Remember, take good care of your husband. I don't want him to embarrass our whole family. If he does something stupid, you have to bear everything yourself and can't involve all of us!” Sandra messaged Daisy moments before they entered the wedding hall. Daisy nodded and looked at her future husband. “Richard, did you hear that? You have to keep an attitude. This wedding was attended by my grandfather's colleagues. They're all important people and you should behave well." At that time, Richard seemed to show an uneasy attitude. Like there was something he was holding on to. As all eyes were on Richard, Richard finally had no reason not to hide it any longer. Richard took a deep breat
The teleconference with James Miller is over. Apart from deciding to hold a wedding in three days, James Miller also asked Sandra to provide a room for Richard. James Miller said, starting from that day, Richard Forger has become part of the Miller’s family even though the official marriage will only be held in three days. “Daisy! Since he's going to be your husband, you have to take care of him from now on!” Sandra ordered Daisy to take Richard to a room on the second floor of the Millers' house. Daisy nodded languidly while Richard exchanged pleasantries thanking Sandra. When the two of them left, Sandra massaged her forehead many times. “Oh… Daisy has made the Miller’s Family shame for many times because of her failures. Now she's set up with a lousy guy like Richard. Hell, I would be happier if Daisy wasn't my real granddaughter." Hearing her mother complain and grieve, Nancy came and patted Sandra on the shoulder. "Mom, calm down, we still have Bella. Bella will always elevate
Richard Forger gulped, he didn't expect that the young girl who had just let him in was now in trouble because of him. "Miss, I have a card..." Richard intended to answer Bellatrix's accusation against Daisy but Bellatrix immediately pointed her finger right at Richard's forehead. “Damn! Who gave you permission to speak to me? Shit, I'm talking to my stupid cousin!" Bellatrix then turned to point her finger at Daisy who looked down uncomfortable. “Bella, she brought an invitation card from our grandpa. Trust me… We have to welcome him or…” "I do not care! As usual, every decision you make will end in disaster. This time, I warn you again! Get rid of this bum or…” Bellatrix had not yet had time to continue her sentence when from behind, came the voice of a typical old woman's scolding, she was Sandra Miller, a woman in her seventies who is the wife of James Miller. Sandra hates commotion even though at the same time she is someone who often makes noise. “Are you guys trying to kil
At the afternoon, Richard Forger said goodbye to George Warren and assured the old man that he would pay for George's losses. Even though George Warren found it hard to believe Richard's words, he let Richard go. "Um... Before that, can I borrow a few dollars to order a taxi, Mr. George?" Before actually leaving, Richard realized that he had nothing left. He was quite ashamed of the old man but it was only George Warren, a figure in the city of Roxburgh who was willing to help Richard. “Tsk… Take it.” George Warren reluctantly gave Richard a few dollars in his pocket. “Thank you, Mister George. I'll make sure you can keep my promise, I'll pay off the losses you've suffered.” George Warren nodded wearily. Half desperate, he hoped that Richard's promise was not just a bullshit. “Three days from now! I'm sure I'll compensate for your losses. Mister George!” After saying that sentence, Richard Forger immediately ordered a taxi and asked the taxi driver to drive to the northern city o

Richard, the new Cleaning Maid, was unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. When he was busy tidying the floor, Luis Jung suddenly spilled his coffee on purpose. After an expression of shock, he bellowed at Richard. "Hey, Servant! Can't you see there's a mess in here?!” Richard Forger wanted to swear, but of course Cleaning Service was not a position where he could swear at a CEO. So, Richard hurriedly walked over to the floor that Luis Jung had spilled coffee on. Obediently, Richard wiped the dirty floor. "Darling, do you wan
The misfortune of Catherine and Jacob also befell Celine Wilson and Judith. The two women are currently being sprayed with water and dragged to the police station because unexpectedly they both confessed to dozens of crimes. The dinner party at Henry's mansion truly became a memorable event because extraordinary things happened there. The journalists went home with joy in their hearts because they had a fantastic amount of news material. As the party came to an end and the guests gradually left, Henry and Lily walked into their mansion for the last time. That night would be their last night sleeping in that luxurious house because the next day, the mansion would belong to Mr. Prince, a wealthy foreigner who won the auction. Despite the fact that the next day they would both fall into poverty, both Henry and Lily couldn't hide the happiness enveloping them. The Magic Power of the Forbidden Codex is fully charged! That means Henry's action of giving away all his wealth was deemed si
Henry wrote a few sentences on the brown cowhide-covered book. His smile widened as he reread the sentences he had written."I think this is enough," he said satisfactorily."What did you write? Do you want the Forbidden Codex to eliminate them both tonight?" Lily asked, tilting her neck and glancing at the sentences just written by her husband.Henry chuckled and casually showed the sentences he had written on the Forbidden Codex.Lily frowned, there was nothing terrible written by Henry. On the contrary, Henry seemed to have written a good wish for the entire Wilson family."What’s on your head, Honey? You used your last Magic Power to make that wish, are you sure 'it' will deter them?" Lily asked seriously."Very sure, now, stay here and let's watch the show," Henry said after he put the Forbidden Codex back into his suit.Lily frowned but ultimately chose to follow her husband's advice; she stayed in place while sharpening her ears to hear the conversation between Jacob and Cather
Yes, Henry would indeed find himself in dire financial straits if he were to stand by his words from some time ago, opting to sell the mansion in Alexandria for charity and giving away his late father's entire inheritance to charitable causes.Wouldn't that be akin to suddenly plunging oneself into poverty overnight?Observing the disbelief etched on the guests' faces, Lily took it upon herself to reinforce Henry's declaration."Ladies and Gentlemen, Henry and I have grown accustomed to living without great wealth. And, to be honest, we're perfectly content with that. We've discovered that our love and loyalty flourish even more in less affluent circumstances. Even if we do aspire to regain wealth, we want it to be earned through our own efforts."Though not entirely convinced by Lily's words, the guests found themselves inclined to offer a standing ovation as a gesture of politeness. Deep down, they harbored suspicions that Henry and Lily harbored ulterior motives behind their unconv
Several minutes later, Lysa and Eric emerged from Henry's mansion with complicated expressions on their faces.It was difficult to decipher their expressions, but one thing was certain: both Lysa and Eric didn't believe that Henry would actually go through with it.At the same time, online media was buzzing about Henry James' statement on the talk show hosted by Lysa Nadjrov. The commotion reached international levels, and by now, many influential figures from around the world were planning to attend the dinner party at Henry James' mansion.'My husband has thought this through. And yes, I support his decision.'In the car, Lysa and Eric still remembered Lily's words explaining her agreement with Henry's decision.‘Not that I'm a bad wife for not being able to stop my husband's crazy actions, but, upon reflection, all of my husband's decisions have a strong reason. And, there's no reason for me not to support him.’Once again, Lysa was struck by Lily's words. She couldn't wait for the
