Chapter 51: The Sound of Real Power
The parking lot was still buzzing even after the Ferrari had driven away. Students were huddled in groups, their voices low as they tried to make sense of what they’d just seen. How could an errand boy be sitting in a car like that? It didn't add up, and the confusion was turning into a restless kind of energy.Robert stood near the school steps, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. He looked completely unbothered as he watched the crowd.That’s when Edward and Chloe made their move. They didn't rush; they walked slowly, side by side, making sure every eye in the parking lot was on them. As they approached Robert, a circle of students instinctively formed around them, sensing that something big was about to happen.Edward stopped a few feet away, looking Robert up and down with a bored expression. “Nice Ferrari,” he said, his voice casual but loud enough for everyone to hear. “You’re claiming it’s yours, right?”Robert met his gaze. “Yes.”“And you didn’t just rent it for the morn
Chapter 52: The Message Before the Auction
The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut sped through the afternoon traffic like it owned every bit of the road.It didn't need to weave in and out of lanes or rev its engine to prove a point. It just moved with a power that made other drivers pull over just to watch it pass. People were literally hanging out of their windows with their phones out, trying to catch a glimpse of the ghost white car as it blurred past.Robert guided the car toward the massive gates of the BGMH Resorts. The security guards there were used to seeing expensive machines— Ferraris and Lamborghinis were a daily sight for them— but this was something else.This was a car that didn't just cost millions, it was a car that showed who was really at the top of the food chain.One guard slowly slid his sunglasses down his nose as the Jesko approached. "Okay... I know we see some crazy cars every week," he muttered to his partner, his eyes wide. "But what is actually going on lately? First that Pagani this morning, and now this?
Chapter 53: The Request Before the Auction
"That’s the one."Anna sat up straight on the couch, every bit of her earlier frustration vanishing in an instant. Her eyes, which had been tired and dull just minutes ago, were now wide with excitement. "Are you serious? We’re actually going to that? I thought the guest list was locked weeks ago."Robert unbuttoned his cuffs, his movements slow and deliberate. "I want you to come with me. It’s time you saw how this world actually works behind the scenes."A slow, mischievous smile spread across Anna’s face. It was the kind of look that promised trouble, the kind of look they both used to share when they were kids planning a prank— only this time, the stakes were millions of dollars. "To watch you humiliate Edward and his whole family in front of the entire city?""And Chloe," Robert added, his voice dropping to a cool, steady murmur."And Jane?""Yes. Every single one of them." There wasn't a hint of anger in his voice —just a flat certainty that was far scarier than shouting. "The
Chapter 54: The Power of Style
Robert leaned back into the deep edges of the couch. He lowered his voice to a murmur, a tone so private that Anna had to physically lean in just to catch the words."Avery… I want you to drive a Pagani tonight."There was a long, heavy silence on the other end of the line. Robert could almost picture Avery standing in her own room, her brain trying to process the request. Finally, her voice came back, sounding both curious and slightly guarded. "A Pagani? I mean, sure… I can handle a car like that. But Robert, why the sudden change? I already prepped the Ferrari.""Just trust me on this one. Come over to my place first," Robert said, his tone smooth but carrying that quiet command she was starting to trust. "I want you and Anna to head to the auction together. I’ll join you a little later. I have a few things I need to finish here."Avery let out a soft, knowing chuckle. "Alright, Mr. Mysterious. I’ll be there in twenty minutes. Don't make me wait."Anna’s eyes were practically rol
Chapter 55: Nightfall in Motion
The engine didn’t just roar, it sounded like it was breathing.Avery steered the Pagani Zonda Barchetta out of the underground garage with the kind of care you’d use to hold a diamond. Her hands were steady on the wheel, her eyes glued to the mirrors to make sure she didn't nick the sides. The carbon fiber body reflected the overhead lights for one last second before they hit the dark, cool night of the city.Anna leaned back in the passenger seat with a small, impressed smile on her face as she watched Avery work.“Hey,” she said, her voice joyous over the low hum of the car. “You’re actually getting the hang of this pretty fast.”Avery smirked, though she didn't take her eyes off the road. The Pagani rolled onto the main street like a predator finally waking up. It was low, wide, and looked like something out of a dream.They hit the main boulevard. Avery kept it slow— Controlled And Elegant.Anna tilted her head, her hair whipping in the wind. “You’re being way too gentle with her,
Chapter 56: The Standard of Entry
The city lights blurred into long streaks of gold as the Pagani Zonda Barchetta cruised through the streets like royalty.Avery was driving with total confidence now, her hands relaxed on the wheel. Next to her, Anna leaned back into the leather seat, letting the wind mess up her hair while the soft hum of the engine filled the air.Up ahead, the auction house finally came into view. It didn't look like a normal building, it looked like a palace— Huge marble pillars, glowing lights everywhere, and a line of cars out front that looked like a museum collection. Above the massive front doors, a small gold emblem made one thing clear, if you weren't on the list, you weren't getting in— ’The special guests grand Auction’.But tonight, the rules were about to change.As the blue Pagani rolled into the private lane, the security guards stood up straighter. One of them tapped his earpiece, his eyes wide. The gates swung open before the car even came to a full stop. No questions asked. No chec
Chapter 57: Verified guests
The deep growl of the McLaren Sabre rolled through the courtyard like a declaration of war.Edward was driving slowly, he felt like he was in total control. After all, he’d just dropped over a hundred million dollars on a new car just to get past the front gate. This was supposed to be his big I’ve arrived moment.The car stopped right at the base of the marble steps. The lights hit the carbon fiber, making it look like it was glowing. Everyone nearby stopped talking to watch.“Is that the Sabre?” someone whispered.“There are only five of those in the world.”“The Emmetts are really going all out tonight.”Edward stepped out of the car, taking his time to straighten his jacket. Chloe followed him out, looking proud and holding her head high. Cameras were flashing everywhere. A valet rushed over, looking a bit nervous as Edward handed him the keys.“Be careful with it,” Edward said. He sounded bored, like the car didn't even matter to him. The valet just nodded quickly, holding the ke
Chapter 58: The First Round
The inside of the auction hall was exactly what you’d expect for a room full of billionaires. High ceilings were covered in soft gold lights, and massive crystal chandeliers hung down like frozen fireworks, making every diamond ring and polished watch in the room sparkle.The walls were lined with heavy velvet to keep the sound in, and the floors were so clean you could see your own reflection as you walked.This wasn't just a fancy party, it was a battlefield where everyone was wearing a tuxedo. You could feel the weight of the money in the room— it was thick, like the air right before a thunderstorm.Edward walked in with Chloe and Jane by his side. He tried his best to look like he’d already forgotten about the embarrassment at the front gate, but his jaw was still tight. He was looking for a win to save his reputation.They took their seats in the front executive row, just a few spots away from where Robert and Avery were sitting. Anna had picked out the best seats in the house— r
Chapter 59: The Second Round
The lights didn't just dim, they sank into a deep, moody gold walls. The whole energy in the room shifted instantly. If Round One had been an impressive display of wealth, Round Two felt like stepping onto a literal battlefield.The host took a moment to adjust his bow tie, and a sharp, professional smile appeared on his face. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, his voice echoing off the velvet walls, “we are now moving into the premium tier. The items you are about to see are no longer just collectibles. They are legacy pieces.”A heavy platform began to rumble as it rose up from beneath the stage floor, the mechanical sound vibrating through the soles of everyone's expensive shoes.Lot One — The Sovereign EclipseA velvet-lined case opened slowly under a sharp white spotlight. Inside sat a watch, but calling it a watch felt like an insult.“This,” the host began, his voice full of respect, “is the Sovereign Eclipse. It was crafted in 1721 as a tribute to the Valorian royals. It feature
Chapter 60: Payment Verification
The room stayed frozen after Edward’s demand, and the air felt so thick it was like a wire stretched until it was about to snap.For a long, painful moment, nobody in the crowd even dared to cough because every billionaire in the hall was staring at Robert, just waiting for his mask to slip and reveal he was a fraud.Robert didn't look like a guy who had just been cornered. He actually leaned back in his chair, looking more comfortable than he had all night.“That’s perfectly reasonable,” Robert said. His voice was smooth, like he was agreeing to a simple lunch plan. “I have no problem with that at all. Let's make sure everyone's actually going to pay.”A wave of whispers broke out across the floor because people were confused, wondering if he was just bluffing or if he really was that confident.Robert reached into his inner jacket pocket without fumbling or hesitating, and he pulled out a plain black card which he held casually between two fingers. It wasn't gold or shiny, and it di
