"Ms. Campbell, if you are looking to start an internal war, don't use me as a sacrifice. James said with a faint smile.'internal war' lingered in Lia's mind,As did the word sacrifice.Her fingers which were holding a lady's cigarette trembled slightly, causing the white ash to fall onto her red nails.It seemed that she had underestimated James.She had not expected him to know about the war in the Campbell family.Jenny's face turned pale. She knew very well that the war between the Campbell family, and how Lia rose to power, were the greatest taboo in her friend's life.After all, the fact that Lia had sacrificed her three brothers for her stardom was not exactly honorable or presentable.It would be disastrous if Lia gets angry."James, what are you talking about?" Jenny shouted at him from the side, "Don't you see that you're still in HonorGrave? It is fine that you refused to take Ms. Campbell's generous offer, how dare you be so disrespectful?""I am just saying the truth. He
I have told you I don't want to be friends with you. James pursed his lips irritably. He then snapped, "Are you deaf?"James, you are crossing the line. Jenny had planned to keep the peace today.James' behavior had utterly appalled her.James might have made it rich and become Meyer's family's esteemed guest. However, he had also offended Lia. There was no way he would ever be allowed to strive in HonorGrave.James had even boldly threatened to snap Lia's neck earlier.He was simply digging his own grave at this point."Ms. Jefferson, watch your words. James shook his head in displeasure, he then uttered, "It sounds like you are challenging me to do something even worse."James proceeded to declare arrogantly, "I came here fully prepared. There's nothing for me to be scared of.""Oh, how valiant," Lia scoffed coldly. "James, you're such a reckless boor. if you had any brains, you have held me hostage and made your escape. You wouldn't have ended up in this state.She continued, "I th
Before Lia could even reply, a slight murmur www heard coming from the corner of the room."G-Got it... Jenny who had crumpled on the ground in fright answered with a trembling voice."Look at her." James moved his wrist up so that Lia could face him. He raised a brow and let out a chuckle. Ms. Jefferson is such a sensible girl.Apart from the fear that had gripped Lia's heart, anger surged within her.She was the ruthless head of the Campbell family. Yet, within a single day, she had been threatened by the same man twice.Just a moment earlier, James was ready to strangle her to death. Now, he was pointing a gun at her throat.This was an utter humiliation to Lia. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to discard her pride to save her life."Got it," Lia muttered through clenched teeth. At that moment, her dignity as the head of the Campbell family had been ripped into shreds. Her arrogance had vanished. James berated her as if she was an elementary school student. Lia lowered her eyes
James smiled and shook his head as he heard the number."5.2 million dollars?" Ava asked. She felt that no matter how rich Life Long Group was, they couldn't auction an item that was worth tens of millions of dollars. Even if it was Divine's auction house, the most acclaimed and renowned house, their most expensive collection would only be worth 13 million dollars."Nope, it's more than that!" replied James shaking his head once more.More than that!" Said Ava as her eyes opened in astonishment. The lights on the ceiling illuminated the eyes, making them seem even more striking and mesmerizing."Yes... I guess that there are around 5 to 8 auction lots that are worth tens of millions. As for those that cost more than 5.2 million dollars... There should be about ten of them, for items that are less than 5.2 million dollars, there should be countless of them, remarked James nonchalantly."Wow!" She nodded, amazement was still clear in her eyes. She added, "so if we calculate, everything
Angela hesitated for a bit when she looked at the incoming caller's number. "Why is she suddenly calling me?" She murmured to herself."Who is it?" Allen asked curiously as he walked over."Nobody," replied Angela as she hung up the call. She grabbed her bag and said, "I'm meeting a friend, so I'll be leaving first.As she walked to the door she suddenly turned back and reminded him, "By the way, keep my words in mind. Don't create trouble for us, understand?""Yes," replied Allen reluctantly.After Angela walked out of the Bailey, she got into her car and hit the redial button on her phone."Hi, Ms. Campbell, what's with the sudden call?" Asked Angela as she started the car engine.Ms. Bailey, I heard that you were at Lotus Antique street some time back. According to my surbordinate, something from my shop caught your eyes, said Lia as she stared at the Jade bangle in her hands.I apologize for your unpleasant experience that day. It was my subordinate's fault, I'm calling to apologi
"Why did he come back?" Asked Iyke. Well, I'm not surprised at all that he's back," Lia said matter of factly. You must have forgotten that Mr. Bruce's birthday party is around the corner. This brother of mine will never want to lose the opportunity to suck up to my father."Let's go and have a look, said Iyke.The power struggle between the siblings of the Campbell family was not a secret in HonorGrave.Lia's three elder brothers had lost during the power struggle, making Lia the head of the family.Lia's second and third eldest brothers were aware that they simply could not defeat their younger sister. One of them had left for another country, while the other had accepted his fate and worked at one of the subsidiaries that belonged to the Campbell family.Daniel, Lia's eldest brother was the only one who didn't want to concede defeat. He also had considerable wealth and power. As such, he had been using those to fight against Lia.Angela was soon back at the office after she left Mo
James knew that Jackson had arranged for Ava to come over to the garden room at this moment."Well, nothing much," Jackson said as he smiled. I have asked James about some work matters, is dinner ready?""Yes, dinner is ready," Ava said as he pointed behind her. Linda asked me to inform both of you that dinner is ready.James quirked his eyebrows as he heard this particular remark.James thought, "well, true enough."Grandpa and Linda have put on a good show.As James assessed the progress of the situation, he realized that he would be snubbing Jackson if he chose not to make his thoughts known to him.Ava climbed on the organization ladder in Bailey Group would then be a difficult journey James said as he smiled. I have been discussing with Grandpa my plan to move one of the Life Long auctions to the newly completed Harmony Hotel."Oh really?" said Ava. She was greatly surprised as soon as she heard that remark. She gave James a wide-eyed stare. "Why haven't you told me about this pl
"Alright tell me then," said Turner. He was breathing loudly out of anger."Dad heard what happened," said Angela."Yesterday, the head of the Campbell family, Lia..." Angela then explained her plan to Turner.After listening to Angela's plan, Turner was both shocked and proud. He exchanged glances with his wife."Angela, are you confident enough to execute this plan successfully?" Said Turner earnestly. "If this plan backfires, our family will no longer have these opportunities to make a comeback."No worries, Dad," Angela said confidently. This time around, my plan with work. What's more, Lia hates James, even if we choose not to harm James, Lia will still find a way to get rid of him.""Alright, I'm relieved now that I heard this from you, said Turner. He then let out a long breath.The following day, at Life Long Collectible."What did you say? Move the auction to harmony hotel?" Exclaimed Henry. As soon as he heard James's remark, he got up from the sofa. He was in shock. "Mr. Mi
