Gabriel's world sent shockwaves through the room, gasping and disbelief filling the air. But most of their expressions showed skepticism.“Fifty million dollars is a substantial amount. Does that lad even have any idea how much that amount is?”“If he is really a rich person, then I think there will be a few of us at least to know him, but it seems no one has any idea about him.”“Is he delusional? Fifty million is no joke!”Shock also gripped Natalie. Although Gabriel had paid one million dollars for her necklace, fifty million dollars was a fantastic sum.Meanwhile, Robert's hands clenched tightly as he stared at Gabriel. “Is he joking? He can’t be that rich,” he muttered.The emcee steadied himself before he could respond. He still couldn’t believe the amount Gabriel had offered.“Young man, are you kidding? I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, but fifty million is a huge sum,” the emcee asked politely.Gabriel nodded, his expression serious. "I'm serious. If no one can offer a high

The emcee watched Robert as he politely invited him to sit in the audience seat.“Please, sir, have your seat. The auction is underway.”“Okay, I’ll take my seat.” Robert stepped toward the audience seat. As he passed Natalie and looked at her, he grinned.Gabriel narrowed his eyes, his expression wary. “He’s really here,” he whispered to Natalie.“Just as I said. I believe he’s following me on purpose,” she replied in an irritated tone.“I won’t let him touch or even bother you, don’t worry,” Gabriel stated reassuringly.Robert sat down in a chair in the back row. His seat was two rows away from Natalie’s.The emcee took over the proceedings. “Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let’s continue the bidding. This exclusive villa will start at 10 million dollars!” he announced enthusiastically.The guests enthusiastically raised their hands. A middle-aged man with glasses declared. He was known as the owner of one of the most famous boutiques in Forire City.“I’ll take that villa for 11 million

Gabriel and Natalie wandered around the building, searching for the auction location for a villa located on the coast of Forire City."Did they perhaps cancel the auction for that villa?" Natalie asked as she looked around. Her words dripped with pessimism, since they hadn't found the location yet.Gabriel spotted an event staff member and approached her. "Excuse me, we're looking for the auction location for a villa located on the coast of Forire City. We saw it listed in the brochure," he asked.The staff member smiled and explained, "Yes, that villa is indeed being auctioned at this event. The auction location for that villa is over there." She pointed to a room in the corner guarded by several men dressed all in black and wearing sunglasses."So the auction is in that room?" Gabriel asked.Unlike other auctions, it seemed this villa would be held in a more private and secluded location.The staff member nodded. “That’s right, sir. The auction for that villa will begin in ten minut

The emcee from the stage asked Gabriel, “Young man, please let us know your name. We’d like to know someone extraordinary who will purchase our precious necklace.” His words dripped with admiration and curiosity.All eyes were on Gabriel, waiting for him to introduce himself. Gabriel paused for a moment, feeling hesitant.“Sorry, sir, I don’t think I need to reveal my identity here,” Gabriel replied calmly.The emcee nodded in understanding. He then stepped off the stage and invited Gabriel into a room.The man waited outside, and Gabriel was invited in. Inside, a man in formal attire sat at a table. His gaze, initially focused on a computer screen, immediately shifted to Gabriel.He rose from his seat and greeted Gabriel warmly. He had been watching the bidding session on his computer screen.“Welcome, sir. We are delighted to welcome you as someone who will purchase our precious snake necklace,” he said, extending his hand for a handshake.Gabriel returned the handshake as he spoke.

A feeling of worry gripped Natalie, but she maintained her calm demeanor. She wanted the snake necklace but didn't want to spend too much money on it. She had no choice but to bid higher."I'll make it twice; I'll take it for 300,000 dollars!" Natalie stated firmly as she let out a smug smile.An annoyed expression formed on another lady's face. Everyone's eyes were on the two women, as they were the ones who dared to bid that much.Natalie hoped the woman wouldn't bid higher so she could take the necklace home. But contrary to her hopes, the lady still wouldn't give up.She raised her hand as she stated firmly, "That necklace will be mine for 500,000 dollars!""Woah!"Shock and awe filled the air, with resounding applause. Everyone in the booth stared at the lady, wondering who she was.Natalie sighed heavily. The offer made by another lady was too high for her; she felt she couldn't make a higher offer. With a resigned and annoyed expression, she remained silent.The emcee and onloo

"Look at that man! He is literally the most handsome man in this event!"“He is so dreamy!”"Look, he has arrived in my dream car!"“I wonder whether he is single or not?”"I think I've already found my husband here."Whispers spread in the air, as they felt breathless seeing his dazzling form. Some girls were about to take a step to come closer to him, but the hopeful smiles on their faces disappeared when they saw him open the car door on the other side, and a woman got out.Gabriel stretched out his hand to Natalie. He accepted her hand and took his arm."Woah, is that his girlfriend?""Oh, who is she?""I thought he was single."Their words dripped in disappointment. Their faces showed jealousy mixed with curiosity.Some people frowned at Natalie's face, and then seconds later they could tell who she was."Hey, that woman! She is Natalie Rumwhite, a daughter of Thomas Rumwhite."“She’s a rich girl, so I think she’s his equal.”Natalie was aware of the whispers surrounding her. She

Arnold was taken aback seeing his grandmother’s presence. The old woman arrived there with Charles and her secret guards.“Grandma, I have asked you to wait at home. It’s too dangerous,” Arnold exclaimed worriedly.Elizabeth ignored her grandson. Her gaze was focused on William. “William, answer me! What did you do to her? Let her go!” she demanded.William smirked. “Elizabeth, nice to see you, cousin.”Arnold’s jaw dropped. “Cousin? What?”“I don’t understand why you did this to us. You suddenly left the Winster family and disappeared for more than 2 decades. But now you reappear in our lives and kidnap my grandson's girlfriend,” Elizabeth asked in surprise.A mix of anger and revenge in William’s eyes. “I just want to see your grandson suffer. By watching his girlfriend die, it’s the same as killing him slowly.”Elizabeth’s eyes were filled with tears of anger. “William, without you doing that, my grandson has suffered for almost his entire life. All this time he was missing and eve

Arnold stopped his car in front of a building. He was sure he had arrived at the address that appeared during the search process earlier."Be ready boys!" said Arnold looking at Alastair and Carlos.The two men nodded with bulletproof vests and pistols ready to protect them.Not only them, but Charles was also in the car. Arnold told Charles to stay in the car to keep watch.Arnold, Alastair, and Carlos alighted from the car and rushed into the building area by climbing the fence.As the first bodyguard of the Winster family, Carlos showed his abilities by leading this journey. He jumped the fence first and managed to enter the building area.The second person to climb the fence was Alastair. The two bodyguards had to ensure safety first before letting their master enter the area.After Alastair successfully landed, they observed the surroundings before letting Arnold climb the fence."You can go up now, young master. We will help you," said Carlos.Wasting no time, Arnold immediately

The first search process carried out by Charles was by using the kidnapper's car license number. He accessed a secret website, where the website could display information from the location of a vehicle just by typing the car license number.To be able to access the website, someone must have a special license that will not be given to just anyone. Charles, who was experienced as an assistant to rich people, has access to the website.Arnold sat next to Charles to see the search results. Charles typed the car license number, and in seconds information appeared on his laptop screen."Oh God, this person is someone with great power, so location information based on the car plate of his vehicle cannot be accessed. This also applies to the Winster family, sir," said Charles."Then, can you use another method to track their whereabouts?" Arnold asked hopefully."I'll try with Angela's phone number."Because Angela's number is inactive, the search process will take longer because to see the

Seven days later.“See you tomorrow!” Angela waved her hand to her coworkers as they left their workplace.She exited the office building and walked toward the edge of the highway. As she looked around, she received a call from Arnold.A bright smile was etched on her face. She eagerly accepted the call.“Hi, my dear. Where are you now?” Arnold asked a second after the call connected.“I just got out of the building. After this I will order a taxi to take me home,” Angela replied.With concern, Arnold offered. “How about I pick you up and take you home?”She shook her head, although Arnold could not see her gesture directly. “Thank you, babe, but I can go home by myself.”“But—”“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be fine, trust me,” Angela assured.“If you say so, then I trust you, honey.”“Good.”“My dear, I want to invite you to have dinner with my grandmother. She is in New York right now,” Arnold invited.Angela couldn’t contain her excitement. She felt like jumping up and down with joy. Sh

Rachel’s jaw dropped. She still couldn’t believe what she saw. She looked at her phone screen to make sure the number was calling her.“It’s my mysterious investor’s number. But why?” Rachel exclaimed while rubbing her head in frustration.Arnold smirked. He brought his phone to his mouth. “Why are you so surprised, Ms. Rachel Aderwin? What do you expect from this mysterious figure?”“No way!” Rachel ended the call that very second.She stared at Arnold with a sharp gaze. “Don’t try to fool me, Arnold! This can’t be real! You must be using a trick and trying to pretend to be my investor,” she accused.Arnold chuckled. “Why would I do that? Why would I trick you?”Rachel took a deep breath. She still couldn’t process what was happening here.Arnold’s gaze shifted to his phone, and he seemed to be typing a message.“Just wait and see, Miss Aderwin. You will see the truth,” Arnold said as he smiled slyly.“What are you going to do?” Rachel exclaimed as her eyes darkened.An incoming call

Rachel tried to contact customer service from another bank, but they said the same thing. A powerful figure had blocked her bank accounts.She, who had originally planned to explore new places, ended up returning to her hotel room. Rachel couldn't hold back her sadness. Tears streamed down her cheeks.The hotel room she booked was only valid until tomorrow afternoon, so if she couldn't pay for the hotel, she would be homeless tomorrow.Resigned to her situation, Rachel decided to stream on BeYou. It only took a few minutes for viewers to flock to her stream.In front of her cellphone screen, Rachel just cried and didn't say anything. This made the viewers puzzled.@tylaaa: What happened to our Rachel? Why is she crying?@Giiii: Maybe something bad happened there. Oh, poor girl.@huns77: Tell us what happened to you.The viewers started showering her with gifts. They hoped that those gifts would make her mood become lighter.Rachel wiped her tears and started talking. "Thank you so muc

Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an

Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w

“Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D

The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them. The number could be contacted, but Elena's parents did not receive the call.***Dean was sitti

“Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h

"So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet. "Even if Dean doesn't go along with us, we will still move there," he said in a tone that didn't want to be rejected."Okay, I'll go with you." Juliet agreed to her husband's decision.Rexa took his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange his move to the United States. Because Dean didn't move there, Rexa handed over all responsibility to his son. What's more, Dean was the heir of the Romano family. Rexa and Juliet will move to the United States next week.***Today Leon was allowed to go home. But up to this moment, Elena still hasn't woken up from her coma. Leon came to Elena's room to see his wife. The woman was lying with her face looking beautiful."It's been almost 2 weeks since Mrs. Elena has been in a coma, young master," said Michael, who was standing next to Leon.Le
