When he said this, he smirked again, sending his eyes to Olivia, and at this moment, every student in the academic corridor fixed their eyes on them to see what would happen.Hence, their whispers spread rapidly among each other.“This seems like payback for Alexander; I can sense it.”“Yes, Alexander snatched his girlfriend and dated her. I think he's about to snatch her back.”“Can you smell his perfume? It seems like Julius is wearing a very expensive one.”“How can you be so sure? What if the perfume is Alexander's? How can you tell?”“It's hard to tell who is richer, or better still, how did Julius become so rich suddenly?”“Hey, look! It's about to go down!”Hearing all of these whispers in the background led Julius into a big smirk again, and he turned his eyes to Alexander, then gave him a disdainful look from head to toe.“You were the bully who never allowed me to rest. What if the times have changed and I become the bully who deals with you and eventually retrieves my girlf
After the class for the entire day, the whispers of Julius and Alexander’s deal had already spread like wildfire throughout the campus, and every student was interested to see this happen. For those who did not hear about it, they received text messages from their friends informing them about the deal of the richest that was soon to happen after the lecture. And so, every student was ready as they moved in their large numbers to the auction house happening in the city. The Golden Gavel Auction House was renowned for its exclusive focus on auctioning luxurious vehicles, catering to elites clientele that sought nothing but the finest automobiles. Normally, they never had a large audience of people seated in the auction house, but today, the case was different. The entire place became filled up by students who were eager to see the aftermath of this. Similarly, the surroundings of the building were also filled with students who were eager to witness this event. However, there were ot
Julius smirked to himself at this instance. He knew that look on Olivia. He had seen it before when they were dating, but he was so stupid back then to think she was only in shock and had empathy for him. Right now, he knew better, and he knew that with that look on Olivia's face, she coveted this Dubai man beside him. In the same way, he smirked once again as he shifted his gaze onto Alexander and saw how his shocked expression continued.“Dummy! You think you can be a daddy’s boy and want to compete with real billionaires?” Julius thought to himself.“What business do you have of your own? Aside from your weekly allowance, how else do you generate money?” Julius smirked once again.“Do I hear someone say 1.1 million? Anyone, going?” The man on stage said softly immediately, calling Julius out of his thoughts.With prestige, gentleness, awesome charisma, and an aura that showed him to be wealthy, Julius rose to his feet. “I bid this beautiful vehicle two million dollars,” Julius said
As Julius announced this price, he did not only see the shocked expressions from Alexander and Olivia; he saw this shock written boldly on Abdullah, all other bidders, the jaw-dropping expressions from the students in the auction house, as well as the man standing on stage.And with this, if the students' murmurs did not spread, it was a lie.“Whoa, did Julius just announce a bid of 10 million dollars? That’s insane!” one student said to the other.“I can’t believe it! Julius is really going all out. He’s determined to win this vehicle no matter the cost,” another student said to the first student.“It looks like Alexander has definitely lost this deal. He better go home to his dad and rethink his bidding strategy. Julius means serious business,” another student said to another student.“Yeah, Alexander’s bid of $200k seems like pocket change compared to Julius's $10 million. He doesn’t stand a chance.”“Exactly. It’s like bringing a toy car to a high-stakes auction. Alexander must be
At his mansion, Julius sat in his comfortable leather chair while he was on the phone with his dad. They exchanged business talks and discussed how to move Sabbath Luxuria forward.Suddenly, Mr. Turner knocked gently on the door, and just after he finished the call, Julius said, “Come in, Mr. Turner.”Mr. Turner stepped into Julius’ home office quietly. His appearance was not different from usual: a black fitted suit and an earpiece nestled in his ear. However, there was something unusual he held firmly in his hand.Crinkled at the edges, bearing the weight of inked stories and headlines, its pages slightly yellowed with age. “What is that, Mr. Turner?” Julius couldn't help but be curious about what Mr. Turner was holding.“This is why I came to see you, sir,” Mr. Turner said.“I'm afraid you'll have to take a look for yourself,” Mr. Turner added as he stretched out his hand to Julius with a bow.Right at the moment when Julius received what Mr. Turner gave him, he saw that it was ind
Just as Julius was informed about the arrival of the press, he rose gently to his feet and fastened his suit buttons into the appropriate holes. As he did so, he took his first step forward, and Mr. Turner bowed to him, then opened the door for his master to exit the home office. Exiting the home office, every bodyguard stationed at strategic corners bowed to Julius as he confidently and gently passed them. In a similar vein, each housekeeper, engrossed in their tasks, paused and bowed as Julius walked by. Descending the grand staircase with Mr. Turner behind him, Julius could see through the tall, glassy windows that a number of press representatives were indeed waiting for him in his compound. He observed that none of these press members were seated. They stood with their tall cameras, their subordinates behind them, and their black vans bearing the names of TV stations. When he finally stepped out of his mansion through the front door, Julius noticed how each reporter quickly att
**Olivia’s P.O.V.** Seeing what just happened on TV, Olivia couldn't believe her eyes. She knew there was something different about Julius Sabbath the instant he walked up to her and Alexander and made Alexander have a deal with him at the Golden Gavel Auction. Nevertheless, she did not know Julius was the only heir of the Great Sabbath Family. "What?" she exclaimed very loudly the instant she saw this on the news. The glass cup she held in her hands fell to the hard floor and broke instantly into pieces. It was more like she was having a nightmare when she saw that the ex-boyfriend she had betrayed, mocked, and ridiculed, even to the whole student body of the university, was in fact the only heir? "What?" she exclaimed again, which piqued the curiosity of her whole household. Her mother, her aunt, her younger brother, and her grandmother all came to the sitting room with their curiosity at the tip of their noses. "Why are you screaming like that, Olivia? I told you never to screa
Finally reading everything in the caption, Olivia passed the phone to her mother, who read it herself, equally shocked. Seeing her mother's reaction, Aunt Cynthia snatched the phone from her, and with this, she read everything on the Great Sabbath Family's verified Instagram page at once. They were shocked by the bone marrow.“How come that poor thing is the only heir, and we did not know?” Patricia muttered sadly.“We have said too many horrible things to him and looked down upon him too much. How do we go forward from here?” Patricia said.“Maybe she can just go beg him, and he will take her back.” Grandma Mildred said suddenly, and each one of them, including Olivia, looked at her as if she did not know what she was saying.“I know each of you thinks I am crazy right now, but hear me out,” Grandma Mildred said.“Men love for love, but women love for the advantage they can get from the man. This is why men date down or, better yet, marry down, while on the other hand, ladies date gu
