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
"Do you know how your father looked when I chopped off his legs?" Orlando gave Kian a cruel grin. He was in a good mood. The Montgomery's family which was the leading force in the underground world was currently shaken and distracted because someone had dared to lay a hand on their beloved godson and even left him half dead! Well, leaving someone unable to reproduce for the rest of his life was practically killing the person. Orlando was certain his time was drawing closer and he would soon be able to usurp Montgomery's family. He just needed to find the one who was daring enough to go against Montgomery’s family. Yes, find him and get him on his side. That was the plan. "No, uncle, why don't we tell him how pitiful his father was when he watched his wife's dead body hanging to the fan with her tongue pushed out and saliva trickling just like this," Anthony laughed and made a gesture with his tongue. "Did you know there was a rumor that your mother was pregnant from an affa
"As for me," Jonathan Gray raised a trembling finger. "I will personally make you feel hell on earth. You will beg for death when I—" Before he could finish speaking, a loud thud resounded in the room as a figure flew into the room and crashed heavily on the ground. There was silence in the room as everyone looked over. Eyes widened when they realized who it was. Gabriel Steel was lying on the floor, battered and bloody in a completely miserable state. It was a huge contrast to the man who had a face off with Magistrate Cody earlier. This Gabriel Steel was almost unrecognizable. The hearts of the Grays and Sinclairs families chilled at this scene. "Colonel Marcus!" Gabriel wobbled and got on his knees. His voice attracted people's attention to the huge man at the door. The man had distinct facial features. There was a long scar that trailed on his stern face but did nothing to diminish his attractiveness. He had striking blonde short hair and a heavily built physique that i
