Derek and Justin walked up, puzzled by the eerie emptiness until they reached the door. Before Derek could knock, it opened and Trinity emerged with the man."Mom, uncle, it's time. I've come to fetch Kimberly." Derek greeted them politely."Watch your mouth, who's your mom and uncle? You're not married yet, don't presume. Let me be clear - we've reconsidered again. Kimberly's father fell ill years ago and his health is still poor, relying on imported meds paid by Kimberly's meager income. If she leaves, we'll have no money. So you must pay 100 million dollars bride price today, and sign a pledge to buy Kimberly her own mansion within a month after marriage, under her sole name. Also a car worth no less than 20 million dollars. If you agree, the wedding proceeds. Otherwise, you're not welcome here. Leave now."Derek was stunned. He had thought it a done deal today. But now they demanded a full 100 million, with real estate and cars, immediately without chance to prepare? How could he
Murmurs erupted among the guests. This wedding might not go as smoothly as expected, instead producing drama!The attendees relished spectating messiness. To them, juicy gossip topped all. Secretly, they even hoped the wedding would implode, providing them material to gossip and backbite.Derek was also losing patience with Trinity's ceaseless pressure, but refrained from rebuking her publicly. After today, this woman would be his mother-in-law, so he had to preserve some of her dignity. Family disgraces shouldn't be flaunted to others."Mom, can we stop this? I admit wrongdoing today for my hasty oversight, but don't worry. I pledge to work hard after marrying and buy Kimberly a proper ring.""That's for later. We're discussing now. Don't you know how vital a fine wedding ring is for a woman? It shows her status and provides capital for flaunting. An extravagant ring signals a wealthy and powerful husband, also improving your face. As future family, I'm thinking of you. These rings w
As the best man and maid of honor, Justin and Ava followed the newlyweds to each table for celebratory toasts. The VIPs rushed to rise for Mr. Wilson, not daring to remain seated in his presence."Now now, no need to stand on such a joyous day! Sit, eat, drink - enjoy yourselves! Just remember, no drunken antics or I'll be very upset." Justin uncharacteristically jovial today, inviting them to feast freely.The guests reciprocated his congenial mood, eating, drinking, and exchanging blessings. All except Trinity's table, sitting awkwardly isolated. Kimberly's family - word must have spread about their past transgressions. The elite guests avoided them like the plague, barely humoring her uncle's attempts at small talk.Usually treated like royalty, her uncle seethed at this subtle snubbing. He downed glass after glass, stewing over how to put Justin in his place and knock him down a peg.He nudged his sister and exchanged a telling glance. Trinity immediately understood his intent and
The stakes seemed fair, even skewed in the uncle's favor to the guests. Justin's empire was formidable - Sunrise, Taylor, half of Stellar, and the prized Hicks Corporation. Anyone would covet those assets.Eagerly the uncle agreed, confident of victory. But as the deadline neared, Justin simply stood smiling, without making any moves."Five more minutes for you to marshal your defenses. After that, my plan begins. Time's ticking, get busy."Though doubting Justin's ability to topple his foreign companies, the uncle wasn't taking chances. He found a laptop and notified them to prepare for attacks from all sides.Justin just smiled when the time expired - "Let the games begin, the final three minutes start now."Still no actions from him, no calls or orders. Just standing smiling, leisurely sipping his wine.The guests grew intrigued, wondering how he would fulfill his promise. They took out their phones, instructing their own subordinates to monitor and strike the uncle's holdings if n
Derek's wedding reception lasted until midnight. By the end, Justin had dismissed all the guests and was ready to leave with Ava.But Derek called Justin back, much to his confusion. After all, the night was still young - why stop him now?Derek Ramirez asked about the status of Kimberly's uncle. After all, Justin had declared earlier that he would seize all of the man's assets. Justin never made empty threats, so something must have happened.In response, Justin just smiled coldly. Was there any need to explain? When a fool comes asking to be put in his place, how could Super Rich not oblige? He had frozen all of the man's overseas accounts and tanked his company's stock price to an unprecedented low.The man was completely bankrupt now. Even if he got new investments, there was no coming back from this. His reputation was destroyed - who would invest in him now?Hearing this, Derek felt some pity.Justin walked over and patted his shoulder. "Some people are just like that, boss. The
This gift was truly expensive. On Kitten, $1 USD got 10 coins. A Kowloon Soaring cost 10,000 coins, so $1000. Even big spenders rarely sent gifts like this casually. The dazzling effects were rarely seen even in top channels.Yet now it appeared in this quiet stream with barely any viewers, shocking everyone when the trumpet icon flashed with the Kowloon Soaring message. At first no one thought anything of it, but what came next stunned them.One Kowloon Soaring after another appeared, as if money was no object, the dragon roars never ceasing. Justin sent a full ten Kowloon Soarings, the effects blaring for a while before finally fading. Viewers rubbed their eyes in disbelief before realizing it was real, thoroughly flabbergasted."Fuck, a moneybags has descended! 10 Kowloon Soarings, $10,000 just like that! Damn, who's so rich they don't know what to do with their money? No need to flash it like this!" read the chat.Justin just smiled coldly at this. Was this a lot of money? No, not
The previously desolate stream became packed within minutes, the chat exploding with questions about the identity of this super rich guy.Other streamers were also tempted - having such a moneybags in their stream would bring them insane traffic. Maybe they could earn a windfall tonight and clinch the top streamer spot on Kitten. So they shamelessly promoted themselves, trying to poach Justin, but he ignored them, continuing his gifting spree.Before long, the platform admins noticed the commotion. Seeing the flooded screen, they thought someone was hacking or using illegal programs to spam gifts. But checks showed Hailey's stream was clean. Baffled, they tuned in to find the cause - none other than this splurging tycoon Justin!Even the admins had never seen someone gift so lavishly. The screen was packed with Kowloon Soarings and all kinds of other expensive gifts nonstop. More and more people flooded in, even slowing down the servers.The admins quickly reported to upper management
The commotion attracted platform management, who logged into their accounts to watch the stream. Upon entering, they noticed a different vibe unlike other channels - no begging for gifts, just tranquil elegance. The view count had peaked, gifts continuously streaming. The platform reps were perplexed to find no signs of view botting or fake gifting. The gifts were from genuine viewers contributing bit by bit.The big spending super rich guy was suspicious though. Checking Justin's records, their eyes bulged seeing his extravagant past spending.Too wealthy! Even their whole platform hadn't seen a tycoon spending this much in a single day before. Compared to that day, today was restrained. With the same streamer twice, she was set to blow up!The stream lasted a few more hours, Justin's lavish gifting and the viewers' contributions finally pushing Hailey to #1 on Kitten's Top Streamers chart for the day.Not the most popular streamer yet, but solid progress made.The next day, Justin
