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

The manager, panic-stricken, rushed after Gabriel. He addressed him respectfully. “Please, sir, I apologize for my bad attitude toward you,” he spoke as he cupped his palms.Gabriel stopped in his tracks and looked back. He sighed, revealing a nonchalant expression. He continued walking back to his seat but was suddenly startled by the manager kneeling at his feet.The man wrapped his arms around Gabriel's leg, begging for forgiveness. Seeing Gabriel as a Diamond Exclusive Card holder, he didn't want to deal with him. He was worried his negative attitude would offend Gabriel and end up costing him his job.“What are you doing? Get your hands off my leg!” exclaimed Gabriel as he frowned.“Please, sir, forgive me for my bad attitude toward you. I can't sleep in peace until you forgive me,” the manager implored.The unfolding scene captured the attention of everyone in the room. Seeing the manager of the villa team suddenly kneeling to apologize to a young man was not a normal sight. The

The flower vase floated in the air under Gabriel's control. He moved his hand, and the vase moved according to his instructions.Robert's jaw dropped in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes to make sure what he was seeing wasn't just a figment of his imagination."How the hell is this real?" Robert muttered with a confused and surprised expression.A smirk appeared at the corner of Gabriel's lips as his gaze shifted to Robert. "You point this vase at me, so I'll point this back at you. Enjoy it!" he exclaimed as he swiftly moved the vase toward Robert.In the blink of an eye, the vase shattered as it hit Robert's head. Blood poured from his forehead, making him groan in pain."Arghh!" he screamed, clutching his bleeding forehead. His gaze shifted to Gabriel, who was staring at him with a smug expression."I will report you for what you've done to me!" he shouted, pointing his finger at Gabriel.Gabriel, with a relaxed expression, responded, "Please, report me as soon as possible. Let them se

Both Gabriel and Natalie were shocked by the waitress's explanation."What an entitled man," Gabriel remarked in a peeved tone. Glancing at the other empty tables, he spoke. "He should be sitting at another table; he has no right to kick us out." His tone showed firmness.A worried expression clouded the waitress's face. She wanted to return to that man to tell him that Gabriel and Natalie had refused to move to another table, but she didn't have the courage to do so.She remained standing there for a moment, making Gabriel stare at her as he asked."Then why are you still here? Please go and tell him!" he ordered, in a calm but firm tone.A dilemma was evident on the waitress's face. She spoke in a halting voice. "I deeply apologize to you, sir, but I think I have no choice now, but—" Before she could finish her sentence, Gabriel suddenly rose from his seat."Tell me, who is that person?" Gabriel asked directly.The waitress's gaze fell on a man sitting at a table across from them. Ga

Even though the restaurant manager was Asger's friend, he remained kind and polite to Gabriel. He knew Asger's power, so he would try to negotiate more with Gabriel. He hoped his offer would persuade Gabriel to change his mind."Please have your seat, sir." The restaurant manager invited Gabriel to a chair.They sat opposite each other, separated by a table. Gabriel glanced around and caught a glimpse of a photo in a wood frame on the wall, startling him.Gabriel's eyes widened as he stared at the photo. In the photo, two men in formal attire were shaking hands, their gazes directed toward the camera.What surprised him even more was that one of the men was his butler, Richard Dutton.The restaurant manager was about to speak when he noticed Gabriel's gasp, staring at the photograph on the wall behind them.He glanced at the photograph, then back at Gabriel. "Sir, are you mesmerized by that?" he asked with a slight chuckle.Gabriel nodded. "Yes, who is the man in the photo?" he asked c
