"How about three hundred and fifty million dollars?" Matriarch Cassandra cautiously said as she was testing the water and giving a number. She had given him an ample price. Everyone held their breath. Almost half a billion dollars. Wasn't that simply stretching it? The shop could only be sold for around two hundred million dollars at most, and that estimate was already high, yet the Matriarch had given such a large sum that was simply unreasonable. Truth be told, Matriarch Cassandra didn't mind selling the jewelry shop. Honestly, she was glad that someone was silly enough to purchase the shop because of his liking for a girl, and to boot, the jewelry shop was at the end of its rope and just a juncture away from being declared bankrupt. Sett put his hand forward, making everyone confused, but then his words shocked them to the core. "One billion dollars: take it or leave it?" "One billion dollars?" Matriarch Cassandra stammered in shock and astonishment, while the others
Inside the private Eurocopter, Sett and Ms. Scarlett were seated side by side, and they supervised the pale-faced Elena, who was under the care of the medics, while Sheila, who was worried sick for her sister, watched as she wiped the sweat off her sister's forehead. Despite being told by the medics that her sister Elena's condition had stabilized and that she had to take care of herself as she hadn't regained her peak after being severely punished by the matriarch, Sheila still took care of her little sister until she eventually fell asleep beside her sister. At this time, Ms. Scarlett passed a certain classified document toward Sett, who was beside her. "The jury and judge's bodies were found at the Gali River Bay yesterday and all the victims had missing organs... The Ratherfords' trial would have to wait." Ms. Scarlett stated while glancing at Sett through the corner of her eyes. She was interested in knowing what the young lord of the Crow family had in mind. "What are you
Joel Laker's facial expression was spasming in extreme anger. He had never experienced in his life such a setback, to the point that he wanted to swallow this person alive."What's with the face? The door is wide open. Feel free to leave."Sett's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Joel Laker's face to turn red as a tomato as he left in a huff while slamming the door shut, but not before throwing a tantrum about bringing his family's army to teach him a lesson.Seeing that the "A" hole was finally gone, he scratched the back of his head before forcing a smile as he faced Elena."Um, sorry about your boyfriend, Elena." Sett felt bad for kicking Joel Laker. He had to tone down that fellow's arrogant attitude, or else he would think he was titled over everyone."It's alright, I never liked him in the first place. It was my grandmother who forced me to accept him." Elena chuckled as she winked at him.There were a bunch of questions in Sett's head as he rai
It was two hours before midnight at the Happy Healthy Fit bar, and the partygoers and hookers were already pretty smashed by the music while dancing like it was the last time they were there; it was as wild as it could get.At this moment, Sheila's figure could be seen being dragged by the hands of her college classmates as they slipped amid the crowds of partygoers, while some were nudging her arms. One had to be careful not to be touched inappropriately, as the place was tightly packed and it was getting hard to move around..."Kristin I don't think we should be here." Sheila uttered with uneasiness in her voice. Her eyes kept darting around, and although she didn't hate going to parties like this, she wasn't in the mood right now. Actually, Sheila was merely here because of how persistent her bestie Kristin was. At first, she only agreed with the meet-up and did not head to something like a bar...."Don't worry Sheila, just enjoy the moment. We can help you explain your situation
Everyone's line of sight was on the impressive man who, without the slightest bit of warning, would barge in and use a single motion to knock a three-hundred-pound bouncer off his feet."Who the f*** is that? He just looked like a superhero! What a badass dude!""No joke! The dude looks like a freaking Marvel superhero with that physique!""Is he a model? Does anyone know his name?"The comment section was booming as the trend had easily crept around social media. Everyone, whether on Tikitok or Instagram, had to see it! Even the one live streaming it was sweating bullets. He was merely a high school student, yet the viewers knew that he was already receiving death threats and forced him to go near the man and ask for his information. But would he? He would never, ever do something like that!He still valued his life and had many loved ones waiting for him at home. What if that guy gets annoyed and cripples him? He wouldn't have enough tears for regret if that happened!How about th
On the other hand, Sett was greatly surprised that, from the looks of things, it appeared that the bartender's real identity wasn't simply a worker from this bar, but more like he was the owner of this bar! No wonder those bouncers easily followed his orders like dogs. He shook his head. It was not the time to be thinking that way. He was in trouble as the bartender seemed to have shredded all pretense of being respectful. The bouncer was hesitant at first, but either way, if they didn't help the owner of the bar, their wedges would be cut, so they'd have no choice but to seize the man before them.'It's unlikely that they will stop until he gets his hand on my ass.' Sett wryly smiled before letting out a sigh. It seems like being civilized wouldn't help. Sett slowly walks toward the three female friends of Sheila and makes them carry her, but not before warning them solemnly. Not to do anything stupid."This is awesome! They're really fighting for real!""I really want to join the
Inside the vehicle, Sett remembered last night's event. After they left the Happy Healthy Fit Bar, and when he dropped Sheila at the hospital entrance, he was surprised to see Elena waiting for them to arrive. It was both surprising and amusing.It was surprising because Elena was still in her patient gown while holding onto dextrose and arguing with the nurses. It was amusing because when they saw Elena and her elder sister Sheila, she started reprimanding her, which made it memorable as he wasn't used to seeing such interaction between the two sisters."Nine, we're about to arrive at your school. I'll pick you up later." Sett said while looking at Nini in the backseat through the front mirror. Also beside him was Ms. Scarlett. She was wearing something that had been bothering him...An hour ago, he didn't expect that Ms. Scarlett was waiting for them just outside the old mansion gate. She was offering them a ride with her latest BMW E31 Prototype, urging him and his sister to board.
A man in formal attire was covered in sweat and panting hard, as he was bolting into the corridor of the Saint University main building like his life depended on it. Looking at his face, he was clearly in desperation. He arrived at the room's administrative door, took a deep breath, and fixed his tie. He put a big smile on his face while opening the door. Inside the office, he could see two figures, and he instantly ignored the other one and focused his gaze on the foreign lady with long blond hair and an hourglass body, paired with her pearly white long legs. He couldn't take his eyes off her."You must be, Ms. Scarlett? It's a great honor to meet you in person. I'm Franklin Laker, the admin of Saint University. Ms. Beautiful, you can just call me Frank." Frank hurriedly shook hands with Ms. Scarlett. His eyes kept staring at her as if he hadn't had enough of it.A few hours ago, he was just enjoying his vacation when he suddenly received a call from the board of directors, urging h
