[New Task Alert!][Save the life of the lady running towards the beach.][Reward: 20 gems.][Task must be completed in the next 20 minutes. Your time starts now!][Failure to complete the task within the given duration will result in a pause of tasks for several weeks.][Failure to carry out the task will lead to the host losing any of his previously granted wishes.]Michael's eyes twitched, and he lost control for a moment.His vision became a bit blurry as he watched the lady running faster towards the beach despite how distant it was.The onlookers never stopped shouting at the top of their lungs to stop her, but she was so determined.'Your time starts now!' This statement echoed in Michael's head, and he swallowed hard.He quickly fished his phone and card from his pocket and gave them to Cynthia."I will be back in a few minutes," he said to her hurriedly.Instantly, Cynthia's face changed with concern. "What are you doing? Don't tell me you want to go after her."Michael sighed
The medical personnel got to them, and one of them wanted to check on Michael, but he declined instantly."I'm fine. She needs the attention more," he said, pointing at Stella.That was surprising. The medical personnel couldn't wrap their heads around it.However, they all quickly joined hands to attend to Stella.After they had put in all their efforts, doing all the necessities, one of them looked at her colleagues and said in a panicked tone, "Her pulse is gone."They all heaved a deep sigh as one of them said, "It took a lot of effort to save her life. It's so sad that she couldn't make it."Michael, who was trying to regain his strength, heard this conversation faintly in his head.Despite being close to them, he was far gone in his mind, trying to gather some strength.He quickly redirected his attention to them. Seeing how bitter their faces looked, he asked hurriedly, "What's the problem?"None of them could say a word but shifted a bitter look to the helpless Stella on the g
The evening was already getting old when Michael received a message about a get-together party hosted by his schoolmates.He pondered over it for a while before he decided to attend as well. His aim for attending the party was the first step needed for his business plan.He was on his bike, heading to the venue when he saw a familiar figure in the distance.It was a beautiful young lady wearing a black dress with elegant silver trim.She had just hung up a call when Michael reached her."Hi, Ava!"The beautiful lady slowly raised her head upon hearing the voice. She was surprised to see who it was. She stared at Michael for two seconds before responding casually."Hi, Michael."Ava was Michael's schoolmate, but they weren't close friends."How are you?" Michael asked more calmly."I'm okay, as you can see," she replied, displaying her beautiful gown to Michael.Michael nodded as Ava gazed at him more thoroughly and added, "You don't look bad either."Michael didn't know if that was a
His teeth gritted in anger as he felt extremely embarrassed.'How dare this low-life say such disgraceful words to me?'The veins in his head began to bulge in response to his anger. He nearly had catarrh running down his nose as he fumed.He can't give Michael the chance to embarrass him and escape. Never!If it were the past, Gordon would have picked a fight right away. Sadly, that would be ineffective at the moment.He sensed a kind of courageous air blowing around Michael now. Gordon was afraid of what his fate might be if he decided to pick a fight with him.Moreover, it would be very shameful if his name began to fly around for causing trouble at their peaceful get-together party.To crown it all, if he chose to fight Michael now, it would mean he had automatically endorsed his remark.It simply meant Michael stood head and shoulders above him. Then, Gordon thought of a new trick."Hahaha! Scumbag. I can see you think so highly of yourself." Gordon laughed harder."Do not compar
Gordon was so jealous to see how pretty Hannah looked in her red off-the-shoulder dress.The lady held an eye-catching leather bag that matched her heels. Her walking steps were perfect and highly majestic. This made her appearance illuminate the atmosphere, grabbing the attention of everyone.Behind Hannah were two of her friends. As soon as one of them saw Michael, she called for Hannah's attention."I can't believe your ex-boyfriend will come around," the lady said, pointing in the direction where Michael was standing.Hannah suddenly paused as she cast a disdainful look in his direction. Her lips curled slightly upon seeing Michael. Then, she catwalked to where he stood.The onlookers were extremely jealous of Michael for having such a pretty lady as his girlfriend, especially Gordon. The jealousy nearly made him pass out.Michael didn't care about Hannah approaching until she stopped at a distance close to him and asked derisively, "So, why are you here?"Michael was silent, givi
The breakup news became so real when the duo sat at different tables in the party venue.Michael was sitting at a table where he could see the ongoing activities.Meanwhile, Hannah chose a table in a corner, a bit distant from Michael. She sat quietly and shook her head.She couldn't get over the embarrassment Michael had caused her.Moreover, she had become uncomfortable since Michael pointed out the palm print on her face. She felt as though her secret had been exposed to the world.Since the day Austin was humiliated because of Michael, he had made life a living hell for Hannah.However, Hannah didn't mind enduring her boyfriend's mistreatment. After all, he was the scion of one of the billionaire families in the city.Hannah would have left the party after she was embarrassed, but that would make her seem defeated. It would make Michael feel significant, and she only wanted the opposite for him.As for Gordon, he had become uncomfortable since Michael exposed his intentions public
The party has begun. The attendees were being entertained by an ongoing game between two of their mates. Refreshments were also being passed around, keeping the party lively. Just then, a black Honda CR-V pulled into the parking lot. The arrival of the fashionable car caught everyone's attention. They all had their eyes glued to the car as a captivating figure stepped out. The crowd was all drooling as they watched the damsel approach. The onlookers' hearts melted with every step she took. It wasn't anyone else but Ava. "I can't believe it! The most beautiful lady among our friends is here!" "Oh my! She looks so pretty and dazzling!" Numerous comments were flying in the air as Ava approached. Not only were the guys awestruck by her beauty, but the ladies were included too. She looked more like an angel that descended from heaven. Ava became more popular among her colleagues in school after she won the Beauty Pageant award multiple times. "Ava is living the life of her dream
Gordon was sick of Michael's existence. He noticed the change in Ava's look toward him and quickly protested."What are you saying, Michael? I never said I wanted anything in exchange." Gordon had already made this statement before he had a recap in his mind.'What the fvck did I just say?!' His mind was messed up with regret. He had no other reason for rendering this favor to Ava except to have her on his arm.He knew she was a celebrity now and a lot of big shots would be after her.Knowing fully that Ava's strength was her career, Gordon intended to make a pass through that route to make the gorgeous woman his."Oh, that's so kind of you. Thank you for your support, Gordon. We will be looking forward to your helping hand in the future," Erica appreciated, smiling at Gordon.The dude lost his composure at that moment as he flashed a forced grin in reply. "Don't mention it," he managed to say.He was burning with regret in his heart as he knew Michael had destroyed his plans now and
