The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 48
In a few minutes, Stephanie drove into a luxurious hotel. As soon as they got out of the car, she led the way inside, and they entered an elevator to the top floor.Michael was still a bit confused about where they were heading until they stopped in front of a grand hall.The hall looked so calm and welcoming. It had high ceilings, shining chandeliers, and large windows. The beautiful tables in the hall were arranged in rows, with the VIP space in the middle.The table setters were all focused on their job, doing the decoration. Undoubtedly, the hall was fascinating.Stephanie led Michael to one of the VIP tables and offered him a seat. "Please, take your seat, Mr. Quinn."Michael sat down gently, then the young lady made a request. "Please, spare me a minute to inform my mom that you're here. She will be so happy to see you."Michael nodded, "No problem, Miss Collins."Then, she left in excitement.Shortly, Michael was looking around at the beautiful hall, with some questions in his

Despite the rage burning in Gordon's mind, he couldn't leave his work to fight Michael. He dared not risk it. He had a lot of bills to pay.Just then, he saw a figure walk into the hall. It was none other than Austin. His face frowned, and he looked extremely frustrated.Austin had gone through hell on his way before he found out where Stephanie and Michael were headed."Huh? Mr. Graham!" Gordon was surprised to see the billionaire's son.He rushed to him and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Graham, you are most welcome."Austin didn't even glance at him, let alone a reply. He was busy scanning the hall for Michael.However, Gordon didn't take his arrogant manner to heart. After all, he was the scion of the Graham family. He thought that it would be a great benefit to him in the future if he could leave a good impression on him."Come and have a seat here," Gordon offered, leading the way to the VIP tables.At that moment, Austin had found who he was looking for at a distance. His head expl

"I was... It was..." Gordon was stammering, even though he had no idea why the icy lady was so enraged. He was more afraid of offending another heiress of the Collins family on the same day."Get out of here now!" Stephanie snapped at him, and he lost control of the direction he should head.Then, Stephanie turned to see Austin and felt irritated. "I never knew the scion of the Graham family visited parties uninvited."This hit Austin hard, but he quickly composed himself and tried to change the topic."Don't get it wrong, pretty. Wealthy and influential people come together for business collaborations."Stephanie nodded. "You're right, but people like you cannot be counted."Austin's heart broke into pieces. He never expected her to look down on his family's worth that much.Austin's legs were still shaking with anger, and his mind went blank as he searched for a reply.Then, Stephanie ignored him and pleaded with Michael as she sat. "I'm very sorry for the mess, Mr. Quinn. The prepa

Michael's mind was filled with joy at the thought.Just then, loud applause from the crowd suddenly returned his attention to the stage.He realized the man had finished giving his speech. He was greeting all the VIP guests as he descended from the stage until he reached Stephanie's table."You delivered a wonderful speech, Uncle Joe!" Stephanie praised him."Thanks, Stephanie. You look more beautiful than usual!" Joe complimented her beauty.Stephanie blushed, covering her face.Just then, Joe noticed the young man sitting next to his niece. He stared at him for a while, and then he curiously asked Stephanie, "Who's he?" pointing at Michael."I'm about to introduce him to you. He's..." Stephanie hadn't finished her statement before Joe waved his hand."You need to be very careful with men, okay?" Joe advised."I understand, Uncle. He's..." Stephanie was trying to explain before her uncle cut in again. "The fact that he looks so calm doesn't mean his intentions are pure," Joe warned s

The whole crowd was surprised. A thunderous applause erupted as the beautiful Stella appeared from backstage.She wore a stunning silk gown that looked perfect on her slender figure. With every step she took, the hearts of the onlookers stopped for a moment.Stephanie felt so good seeing the crowd drooling at her sister's beauty.Lauren hurriedly welcomed Stella on stage with a motherly hug. The old woman gazed into her daughter's eyes again, and the memory of everything that happened yesterday flooded her mind.She sighed and let it go, holding Stella's hand and moving closer to the microphone."There's a saying: as parents age, children take the reins. However, Stella isn't taking the reins today solely because her parents are getting old, but because she's capable and reliable."The crowd clapped in excitement as Lauren gestured to the mic for Stella to speak.This time, Michael had a glimpse of why Lauren had appreciated him wholeheartedly. If the young lady had successfully ended

Michael's mind was filled with curiosity as he rushed to Horizon Road. He couldn't imagine what situation Cynthia was in, given the way she sounded over the phone. Shortly, he arrived at the place, scanning around. He was surprised when his eyes met with the gorgeous woman smiling at him from a distance. Cynthia was standing in front of a sleek pink sports car. The car had a cool design with razor-sharp edges. Michael stood for a moment, mesmerized. He gulped as he tried to figure out whether it was the situation he met Cynthia that caught his attention or the sports car. "Hurry up, Michael!" Cynthia called from a distance. Michael walked to her slowly, still a bit confused. "You called me for an urgent matter," Michael said calmly. Cynthia saw the seriousness on his face and replied, "Yes, I want to show you something." She was rubbing her palm on the logo of the sports car. Michael's eyes went straight to the logo and found out it was a Lu Cars. He felt a shift in his

She remained silent, trying to find out if there was a new meaning to the word 'Fair.'"You're joking, right?" Cynthia forced a slight smile on her face as she walked close to him."Of course not," Michael's voice was somewhat serious.This made the forced smile on Cynthia's face turn into a frown.She did her best to impress Michael with her driving skills. She never expected him to belittle her efforts.Michael noticed Cynthia's scowling face and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking down on your skills. It's just that I was expecting you to make the car fly, but it ran on the road the whole time."'Huh?!' Cynthia's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned away from Michael. He was messing with her head too much.Cynthia was about to leave him behind when Michael suddenly grabbed her arm. She turned to him, and their eyes met. A cool breeze blew between them, creating a sort of unexplainable breathtaking moment."I heard that pretty women don't get angry?"Cynthia's heart was m

Drew and Lolli were completely dumbfounded. Michael wasn't excluded.Drew and his colleague found it difficult to understand what Cynthia had just said.Did she just call this random guy her treasure?They had always known Cynthia as a classy and highly respected lady. Many heirs and big shots of Silvana City wouldn't mind putting the world on pause all because of her. Why does she stoop so low as to call this nameless guy her treasure?However, they couldn't protest. They were just employees of Lu Cars Company. They had no guts to complain about the heiress's choices.Just then, Lolli smiled at Michael, "Nice to meet you," stretching out his hand for a handshake."Same here," Michael responded as their hands clasped.Meanwhile, Drew's face remained frowning. He regretted not knocking Michael to the ground quickly before Cynthia blocked him.At that moment, Lolli suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my, isn't that Angel, looking prettier than usual?" He walked joyfully closer to Cynthia's car and

Joe's eyes flashed with anger. Sam just brought right before his nose, the guy he never wanted to see anymore. However, Sam wasn't at fault. It was Joe who had told them to respect whoever appraised the alexandrite earlier.Joe's cold glare shifted from Sam to the box on the table. His eyes squinted at a stone with a unique pink color and brilliance. Instantly, the elderly man felt a change within him as a thought struck his mind.Then, he dismissed Sam.Joe exchanged a glance with Stephanie as he asked Michael, "What's the problem with the gemstone?"Michael cleared his throat and replied, "Mr. Collins, I want to suggest that you keep this precious stone personally. The gemstone has the chance to continue to add value and become of great profit in the future."There was silence in the office. Joe shifted his gaze between Michael and the gemstone.Even though his curiosity was piqued at the mention of future profit, he didn't want to make it evident.Although he was the one who bough

His breathtaking aura took over the place, and there was total silence."Welcome, sir!""You are welcome, sir!" the attendants hurriedly greeted him.Joe raised his hand to stop them, and they remained in their spots.Just then, Joe's eyes met Stephanie's. "Welcome, Uncle Joe," Stephanie greeted politely, surprised to see him walk in at a perfect time. "My beautiful Stephanie. You didn't inform me of your visit."Stephanie smiled slightly. "I'm sorry for not informing you earlier. I didn't plan it; it just happened. I know you're happy to see me, anyway.""Of course, yes. I'm happy." Joe was beaming with excitement.Then, he turned to look at his attendants. Reading their faces, he could tell that something unpleasant had occurred.He then asked Stephanie, "Who among the attendants provoked you?"Irene's face turned ashen as Stephanie pointed at her. "Irene, quickly explain yourself.""Hurry up; I don't ha

"Oh..." Stephanie was surprised that Irene, who had claimed to be omniscient earlier, could become so humble.To cover up the shame, Irene quickly suggested, "Miss Collins, since you have an interest in this collection, let me reach out to my colleagues for assistance."Stephanie agreed, and Irene called on two of her colleagues.The young ladies came forward, and Irene asked, "Miss Collins would love to know about this collection of rare stones. Does anyone of you have any information about them?"Just as Irene had done, the ladies' eyes were fixated on the collection, staring at it for a long moment.Stephanie finally cleared her throat to break the deafening silence.The first lady spoke up, "I have never come across this rare collection in my entire career."The other lady confessed too, "Since we couldn't help, I believe Sam Trevor should have some information about them." She left to call for Sam Trevor.Stephanie remained calm, watching how they would sort themselves out. This

Stephanie was surprised that a gemstone gallery was Michael's choice. She was expecting him to mention places like a nice hotel, a beachside, and the like.The fact that this young and handsome man beside her was always unpredictable doubled Stephanie's interest in him."Uncle Joe's gemstone gallery?" she asked again, and Michael nodded in affirmation.Stephanie didn't argue with him since that was his choice. She kickstarted the car engine and said, "It's alright. Let's go have a look at some rare and natural stones."Michael replied with a slight smile, and the car drove off.It was a silent trip throughout the journey. In about a couple of minutes, they arrived in front of a commercial complex.Stephanie led the way in, and Michael followed. Soon, they entered Joe's gallery.

Michael was still fast asleep when his phone began to ring the next morning.After the call rang a second time, Michael's eyes sprang open. He rubbed his temples as he felt a slight headache. His body was heavy, and his mind was as blank as a sheet of paper.The call came through again, and he slowly checked his phone screen—it was a call from Stephanie.Michael picked up the call, and a soft voice came from the other end of the phone. "Good morning, Mr. Quinn.""Good morning, Miss," Michael responded, half-asleep."I'm so sorry for disturbing you so early. I was worried that you left the party unannounced yesterday."Michael exhaled softly as he replied, "My bad. An urgent matter came up."Stephanie didn't argue with him. "I thought as much too."Then, there was a moment of silence at both ends before the lady asked softly, "I don't know if there's a possibility that we will meet again?"Michael smiled slightly. "Of course, yeah.""Really? When is that? Today? Now?" Stephanie teased.

Michael's eyes turned red as he watched the cab disappear into the night. He swallowed hard, suppressing his anger. Then, his phone chimed.His gaze fell on the screen of his phone, and it was a message from Fiona. He hesitated for a moment before opening it."I wrote this text with my mind deep in regret and frustration. I feel so overwhelmed with guilt that I can't stand whatever punishment awaits me.If my punishment should be measured by the gravity of what I have done, I know I do not deserve to live. But I'm using this opportunity to plead with you to genuinely forgive me.I have left the irritant spray and the antidote behind. Probably one of the items might be useful. With tears in my eyes, I will be leaving Silvana City tonight."Michael sighed. He looked behind him and found the two items there.He felt disappointed that Fiona concluded her judgment by herself without knowing his intention.This time, Vivian, who had frozen in shock, was able to walk up to Michael.

Blade went closer to his boy in concern and asked, "How are you feeling now?"The dude's skin color had gradually returned. He looked so relaxed as he nodded, "I feel better."Meanwhile, other staff still had their eyes fixated on Michael. They were trying to fathom how he had gained such incredible power. He used to be that worthless guy in the past. In just a short period, he had become someone of limitless wonders.The truth was that Thunder didn't lose his life earlier. Blade misinterpreted the situation. The dude passed out due to a loss of strength, which caused a pause in his breathing.However, Michael's mind was still more concerned about the other victims of the incident. He couldn't imagine what their situation could be at that very moment.Then, he asked Thunder, "For you to intensely lose your strength, I guess you had a large portion of the meal?"Thunder slowly shook his head in disagreement. "I didn't eat any meal; I was just around the diners. Suddenly, we all began t

The day was already dark as Michael drove to Skyline Restaurant at top speed. Within a couple of minutes, he arrived at his destination.Michael's mind went blank as he saw the entrance of his restaurant in a disorderly state.Half-eaten snacks and different kinds of meals were littered on the floor.An eerie odor welcomed his nostrils as he entered the dining space. The vacant dining tables and chairs were all disfigured with colored vomit.The imagery of what had happened flashed in Michael's mind, and he swallowed hard.Raising his head, he saw all his staff running around in frustration."What's going on here?!" Michael asked hastily in anger.All the staff froze in their tracks as they heard his voice."Welcome, sir.""Welcome, boss," they all rushed to him."I thought I asked a question earlier?" Michael snapped at them.A quick silence swept the floor as they exchanged glances of confusion.Given how angered Michael looked, one of the staff hurriedly spoke up."Yes, sir. Trade

They were all stunned by the order.Kim hurriedly fell to his knees and pleaded, "Mr. Quinn, I beg you, don't let us do this. Silas Spencer is my boss. I dare not fight him."However, Silas looked very interested in the fight. "Forget about who the boss is. The order is to teach ourselves some lessons." Silas lifted Kim to his feet.Kim was still in the middle of confusion when Silas aimed an attack at him. Kim's eyes widened in fear as he hurriedly stepped backward to escape it."Oh, wow. That seems perfect," Silas commented.Kim was doing his best to avoid the fight before Silas charged at him again.Unfortunately, Kim was unlucky this time.
