"My name is Dexter Havill, and I would love to keep your company today." Dexter offered, reaching his hand out to Candyce. Candyce didn't take his hand. Instead, she was rather infuriated that someone out of nowhere had the effrontery to make such an offer to her. Candyce was not the type to swoon over men that came her way. In fact, she has had a lot of wealthy men, and their children make an assembly just to get into her good books. Every passing day, her list of suitors was continuously updated. She had never for once taken it seriously. She wanted to be able to choose for herself. She was sick of them."Did he just call himself Dexter? Is that really Dexter?" Some girls were muttering as soon as Dexter stepped forward. "He is the grandson of the patriach of the Havill family. The only son of Calvin Havill." Another person added. When Dexter heard the people talking about him, all he did was smile. The fact that the people knew whom he was meant that they would respect him. If
Mariana was saying all this because she wanted to get into the good books of Candyce. She knew who Candyce was! And she wanted to use this to the best of her abilities. Her plan was that if she gets close to Candyce and gets into her good book, then she can get to hold a personal conversation with Candyce. Having a personal conversation with Candyce meant that she would be able to ask Candyce about the boss of her father. This way, she would slowly close in the gap and, in no time, meet with the mysterious man. To seduce the mysterious man would be the easiest thing ever. She always has her way. She had her way with Vixton. All she would need right now is some sharpening of skills, and then the rest would be history. There was a broad smile on her face as she said all those things to Candyce. Her eyes were locked in with Candyce. Candyce was also staring directly into her eyes. Candyce wanted to lash out at her when she started out with the speech, but when Mariana mentioned som
Candyce's jaws dropped so hard that she couldn't find the willingness to pick them up. There were a lot of things she had expected, but what just happened didn't fall into the top hundred of her list. Mariana had her mouth widely opened and was gasping for breath when she saw this. There was no way in the whole wide world that what had just happened was what it really seemed like. Mariana was thinking about everything she could get her mind on. Slade? The same Slade she knew? The pushover Slade whom she left for Vixton?!How in the world did Slade come any close to Amelia, let alone getting so acquainted? A hug? Slade got hugged by Amelia?!They had all just watched how Amelia openly addressed Slade and threw herself at him with no sense of hesitation at all. Vixton was clueless as well. Dexter, on the other hand, was trying to understand what the situation was. When he had seen Slade with a beautiful lady like Candyce, he had thought that Slade might be an important person, but h
Slade was constantly looking around as soon as he walked into the hall. He didn't really care much about how radiant, lively, opulent, and utopian the hall looked. Amelia must have spent a fortune to organize this place and doll it up to this standard. Slade looked from one angle to the other. There was no trace of Candyce. "Where did she go?" He wondered, constantly looking around. He could swear on his life that he saw her walk into the hall. "Or could there be another exit?" He didn't know what else to think. Perhaps after walking through the front door, she made an exit through another door. Slade was tempted to go and ask one of the men-in-black who were hanging around the corners of the hall, keeping eyes on the event and making sure that there was no problem or drama. Suddenly, he recalled that he could do this all by himself. He had been so worried that he almost forgot that he could use the Vyion Eye to locate Candyce. He decided to activate the Vyion Eye and then sta
Even Candyce, who was still very much mad at Slade, gasped when the random man pointed at Slade. "Huh?" Slade was still trying to understand where something went wrong. He recalled that for a moment, he was in lost in his thoughts and didn't hear what the grim man was saying. He didn't snap out of his thoughts until the grim man mentioned something about an auction. Slade had been trying to put his head around it when all of a sudden the random man was pointing at him. Slade looked away from the man for a second to the other four men, he could see all of them smirking, too. It was either they were also in on this or they were happy to see that Slade was put on a spot. Amelia on the other hand was quite worried, too. She only knew that Slade was the driver of the family of Lord JK. Wasn't that why she had invited him to her party in order to use him to get close to the family?"He's screwed." Mariana scoffed. She had been brooding over what happened outside the hall. But right n
"What!!" People exclaimed. "This is madness." The people were really stunned speechless. "Didn't that Slade guy say 500k? Then this other guy shot it up from 500k to ten million? What the fuck! That's class! Class, man!!!"Some of the people who were in the hall were muttering amongst themselves. Especially those who were invited to the party through the influence of their siblings. On the live video of Celia, the scene was going crazy. [Did someone just said 10 million for a tiny bottle of perfume][Bro! These rich folks must be stupid, bruh][Here am I thinking that 500k was way too much. Then 10 million out nowhere?][Damn! I never thought for once that I'd feel bad for a stranger, but shit! I feel bad for that Slade guy.][Slade? What kind of name is that? Sounds more like Slave. His name must be his badluck totem.][The auction should be over already. I want to see Amelia's face again.][Show Amelia face for three lions.][Show Amelia face.][Show Amelia face.]Celia was so l
The Peeptok live video on Celia's phone had gone crazy. Naturally, the highest streamer on the platform had once averaged a total of one million viewers in an hour. It was a live video where one of the popular streamers, Vixen, mistakenly flashed her boobs on a live video.But right now, Celia had just broken the platform record and she did not know it yet. Right at this moment, there were over twenty million people on her live video. A lot of gift donations were pouring in and lots and lots of comments were also flowing in! Her followers were skyrocketing and her phone was blaring with notifications. Yet the owner of the phone just stood there like a mannequin, just like the rest of the people in the hall, staring at the man who had just mentioned the most random and preposterous thing that was ever known to man. "Is there anyone?" Slade added, looking from one person to the other. No one could say a word. The urge to want to say something was quite alive but the drive and the w
"This bastard will not stop embarrassing himself. Mariana irked. "Why do I still feel second hand embarrassment for him? Why do I care if he burns to ashes."Whispers and murmurs dribbled around the corners of the hall as the people wondered what Slade had gone over to Dexter to tell him. Many believed that Slade was shameless and didn't want to accept defeat, so perhaps he went to pull some trick. No one could tell for sure. As soon as Slade stepped away from Dexter, Dexter's eyes shone so brightly that it almost competed with the chandelier in the center of the hall. Everyone saw the sudden reaction of Dexter as soon as Slade stepped away from him. All of a sudden, Dexter turned around and started to run away. "What the hell!""What just happened right now?""Where is Mr Dexter going?"Not one person in the hall was not clueless, except for Slade. There was a soft smile in his face. There was a shade of death and evil in his smile. Everyone watched as Dexter ran into the restr
