Even though Kian sat down quietly as instructed, he still managed to draw attention to himself. Everyone laughed at him again and Ida felt tired.

Maybe they should just save themselves some faces now and quietly leave. However, just as everyone was talking about the investment bid happily, Douglas raised a question.

"Father, don't you think it's too strange that the mysterious tycoon chose Valoria Prime of all cities to begin his investment project? Valoria Prime is not a small city but it is only a second tier city. It is nothing compared to other Valorian cities"

Voices quietened at his words and eyes were on him.

"It is not a transportation center like the cities in Valoria east, a trade center like the cities in Valoria Central or an entertainment zone like the cities in Valoria West so why will a tycoon suddenly want to invest billions of dollars here?"

"Are you insinuating that there might be a problem with the investment bid?" Grandfather Wilson's brows knitted.

"Wha

    A hush fell upon the hall as every eye turned to Kian's direction once again. The silence was only for a second before someone laughed. "Pfft!" The entire hall erupted with laughter and they all looked at Kian like he had gone crazy. Savannah couldn't hold back her anger any longer and yelled at him. "Have you gone completely crazy? Why don't you just sit quietly and keep your mouth shut? Haven't you said enough?" "I'm telling the truth. If I don't attend the event, the investment won't even take place," Kian answered firmly. Everyone was surprised at how he managed to remain so calm while telling a blatant lie. How could someone this shameless exist? "Wait, has penury gotten to your brain? Who do you think you are huh?" One relative snorted at him. "They need to beg you to attend the bidding event huh? Who are you? Why do you attach great importance to yourself?" "No, brother... I think he's being delusional now. He must think of himself as the tycoon that organized t

    Wesley's eyes clashed with the interior rear view mirror again as his brows arched. The Wilsons? Isn't that the family of the general's wife? Did they offend the general again? The latter looked furious. No matter how curious Wesley was, he didn't dare to ask questions and simply nodded, "Understood sir. I'll pass your information to the security team." Kian nodded and retracted his gaze. "If they try to create a scene, have them dealt with severely." "Yes sir!" "Drop me at the nearest stop to the house." When Kian returned to the house, Ida was waiting for him with a murderous expression. As soon as he walked in, she unleashed her fury. "How do you still have the guts to return to this house? You useless prick! This was our chance to reunite and return to our family but you ruined that for us! Who do you think you are to run your mouth off like that?" Savannah was silent but her beautiful face was gloomy. She was utterly disappointed by Kian's performance back there. Sh

    Savannah's face turned pale and she couldn't give an answer because there were no invitation cards with them. What had she been thinking, following Kian so mindlessly because he promised he was going to get them into the bidding event? He couldn't even get the invitation cards! Jasmine laughed at her lack of response. She quickly deciphered that something was wrong from her cousin's rare uneasy expression. "Cousin," She chuckled. "Do you not have any invitation cards? How do you want to get in then? Why did you waste so much time and money to come here? This isn't a place where ordinary people can just enter!" Ida's face turned taut with anger. "Shut up, you little brat. You should really learn how to respect your elders. How can you speak so ill in my presence?" After the dinner yesterday, Ida had decided that from the way the Wilson's family members treated them, it won't matter to her anymore if they accept them back or not! They were a bunch of selfish and greedy people.

    Savannah and Ida exchanged a look. They thought they were hearing things. Weren't the Wilson's family boasting a while ago? Why are they not suddenly allowed to enter? "Why can't we enter?!" Penelope was the first to regain her composure. The heavy make-up on her face couldn't conceal the paleness. "We have invitation cards and they were just verified so why do you suddenly say we can't enter?" "Yes, your invitation cards are indeed authentic," The soldier responded, his expression unwavering. "But we have received instructions from the higher-ups that none of the Wilson's family members is allowed to step into the conference center. Leave immediately to avoid further embarrassment." The faces of the Wilson's family members turned different shades of shame. They became anxious. How can this be? They got these invitations without any unscrupulous means so these soldiers must be playing tricks on them. Edward refused to let his family suffer this humiliation so he stepped forw

    The soldiers kept their weapons and saluted him. "Greetings, Magistrate Cody!" The Wilson's family members also looked over. Some of them had witnessed how Cody acted against Edward at the Opening Night Gala that day. He has no tolerance for nonsense. He will certainly kick Savannah and the others out once he finds out about what happened. But before any of the Wilson's family members could say anything, Cody looked at them grimly. "Get out! The Wilson's family members are not allowed in here!" His words were like a huge slap on their faces. They haven't even gotten a chance to introduce themselves yet. Cody didn't pay any more attention to them and looked over. Kian was standing calmly beside Savannah and Ida. Cody's eyes shone with a glint and he quickly walked over. But before he could speak, Jasmine called him, "Magistrate Cody, they are refusing to leave with us after the soldiers have given us the instructions!" Savannah's heart trembled and she clutched something

    Magistrate Cody had to part ways with Kian and his family when they got into the conference center as he had to attend to other guests. So Kian naturally led the way like he was familiar with the environment. The hall was noisy as there were a lot of people hanging around. The hall itself was decorated with the finest and most elegant designs. All of the guests in the hall were also wealthy tycoons, socialites and other influential people who were well known all over Valoria Prime. This grand scene caused Savannah and her mother to feel anxious. They walked cautiously, afraid of even touching something to avoid breaking it as they wouldn't be able to afford it. Kian smiled when he noticed their nervousness. "Relax. It's nothing. Don't overthink this," He gave Savannah's palm a gentle, reassuring squeeze. That was when she realized she had been holding his hand all along. Her face flushed slightly and she quickly snatched her hand away while giving him a nod. Even if she w

    Just as the soldiers moved to apprehend Kian and his family, a fierce voice came from behind, "I dare you to take another step!" Cody walked over and the soldiers exchanged a look. They stepped back, appearing to be hesitant. Cody might not hold any power or authority in the army but he was still a powerful magistrate. They couldn't act so rashly towards him. Gabriel Steel arched a brow and sneered at Cody, "I was wondering why these people could act so recklessly. Turns out, they had the protection of the Magistrate." "What are you trying to insinuate?" Cody squinted coldly. Gabriel Steel held an important position in the army and was doing well but his rank was still lower than that of Cody's. But they were not in the same industry. Military and civilian were two different worlds so Micheal was under Cody's rule and was not intimidated. The mindset of most militants was that people who fought on the battlefields all day, killed enemies and shed blood were the powerful

    "You vile human who only reason with his lower part. What do you take me for?" Savannah was irritated. Her harsh words wiped off the smug smile on Anthony Gray's face. "Dare to touch me and see if I won't cripple that thing in between your thighs!" "You..." Anthony seethed and wanted to charge forward. How dare this slut insult him? What or who gave her the courage to speak like this? She wasn't this fearless in the past. "Savannah..." Ida trembled fearfully and gently pulled her daughter. If they offended these people, they won't be able to pay the price till they are buried six feet below the ground! "Hey," Jonathan Gray cautioned his son just before he descended on Savannah and gestured for him to move backwards. Turning to others, he informed them, "We have a private matter to settle. Leave for the main hall immediately." The underlying meaning in his words was obvious. Kian and his family were going to be severely dealt with, privately! No one would even know how they will

    "Sister-in-law, five years ago, you remember what became of the Blackwood's family. Kian was set up and falsely accused. He had to go to jail and even forcefully sign a divorce that gave away all his assets to Sinclair's family. My aunty and uncle couldn't handle what had become of their son so they committed suicide," Vivienne began to speak; her eyes tearing up.Savannah was silent. She hadn't known much about the Sinclair's family years ago because she had been embroiled in troubles of her own. As a matter of fact, Kian had been the cause of her woes. But hearing Vivienne's words caught her off guard. How did she never know about all this? Perhaps, she had been so filled with hatred for Kian that she didn't pay attention to any news concerning him."Even Kian was sentenced to death. That day, my father had rescued him from the death gallows and brought him home. I have never seen anyone as battered and broken as him.

    Earlier when Mauro called, one of the things he had revealed was that the person behind the abduction of Savannah and others was Margaret.Kian's men had not been able to uncover the identity of the abductor yet because she had cleaned up her tracks pretty well.It was Mauro's investigation that revealed that Margaret is the one behind the kidnapping.
