Chapter 71: The Billionaire’s Playground
Avery couldn't help but burst into laughter as the reality of the situation hit her. “Wait— you’re actually skipping school just to go shopping?” she asked, still a bit shocked by the idea. Anna just flipped her hair over her shoulder with a confident look and said, “This isn’t just any type of shopping.” Avery narrowed her eyes playfully and let out a curious “Oh?” to which Anna grinned and replied, “This is emotional therapy shopping.” They both laughed, and suddenly the atmosphere in the penthouse felt so much lighter— excited, and maybe even a little dangerously carefree.The girls started getting ready, and Anna was the first to change. She stepped out looking incredibly expensive in a fitted ivory blazer over a champagne silk top, paired with tailored beige shorts and a gold chain belt. With her white designer boots and diamond studs, she looked effortlessly high end. Avery came out a few moments later, looking fresh and naturally beautiful in a soft blue pleated skirt, a cr
Chapter 72: The Bet
The salon felt warm and bright, with soft gold lighting reflecting off the tall mirrors and the sweet, expensive scent of vanilla polish and hair products drifting through the air. Anna stretched her fingers out as the nail technician carefully applied a glossy nude finish to her nails, looking completely relaxed, as if she didn't have a single worry in the world. Beside her, Avery sat laughing softly while her stylist worked on curling the ends of her hair into perfect, bouncy waves.“This is way better than school,” Avery said under her breath, a small, rebellious smile playing on her lips. Anna just smirked and looked at her through the mirror, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Obviously,” she replied. They spent the time talking about random things— the teachers they didn’t like, the powerful way the Bugatti engine sounded on the highway, and how Avery’s mother would react when she finally saw them looking this good. It felt normal and peaceful, a rare moment of calm for both
Chapter 73 : The Terms
The silence between them seemed to stretch out like forever. Even the busy, echoing sounds of the mall— the footsteps, the distant music, the chatter of shoppers— seemed to fade into the background until it was just the three of them in a world of their own. Anna didn't even blink as she stood her ground, her small frame radiating a kind of power that made Tristan look small. Her eyes were locked onto him with a chilling, predatory steadiness. “If you win,” she repeated, her voice as calm and flat as a still lake in the middle of a graveyard, “you can have Avery back.”Tristan took a slow, deep breath, and you could almost see the arrogance rushing back into his chest like a physical wave. He stood up a little taller, adjusted the collar of his expensive jacket, and looked at Anna with a mocking smirk that made Avery irk in disgust. “And if I lose?” he asked, his tone filled with sarcasm, as if the very idea of him losing to someone like Robert was the funniest joke he’d ever heard
Chapter 74: Diamonds and Rivalry
The heavy tension from their run in with Tristan slowly began to fade away as Avery and Anna stepped into the luxury jewelry wing of the mall. This part of the building felt like a different world, the floors were buffed to a mirror shine, and glass cases shimmered under soft golden lights that made everything inside look like a treasure. There were diamond bracelets that cost more than a house, custom leather purses, and limited edition collections that you couldn't find anywhere else on earth.Anna stopped in front of a display and lifted a cream colored leather purse, turning it over in her hands. “This one screams CEO wife,” she said with a playful wink. Avery couldn't help but laugh lightly at her friend's confidence. “You’re insane,” she replied, shaking her head. They kept moving toward the back where the high end jewelry was kept, and the necklaces there glittered like frozen lightning against the black velvet displays.But suddenly, Avery froze. Her entire body went stiff,
Chapter 75: Platinum Blood
The air in the boutique suddenly felt freezing cold. Avery reached out and grabbed Anna’s arm the very second the silence in the room began to thicken like a heavy fog. “What are you doing?” she whispered, her voice urgent and shaking with a bit of panic. “Why are you challenging them?”Anna didn’t even glance at her friend. Her eyes were locked onto Bella and Carla with a steady, dangerous focus that didn't waver for a second. “They’re stepping on my toes,” Anna said, her voice eerily calm. “And I don’t like it.”“Anna, please,” Avery insisted, her grip tightening as she tried to pull her away. “Let’s just leave. We can get something else. There are hundreds of necklaces here.” But Anna just shook her head slowly, her face straightened unwillingly. “I don’t want something else. I want this one.”Behind Carla, one of the famous influencers stepped forward. She had sharp, model like features and a high pitched voice that carried easily across the quiet store. “I’m sure you don’t realiz
Chapter 76: The Name Above All Names
The boutique was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Anna held her phone pressed to her ear, her gaze steady and cold, never leaving Bella for even a second. On the third ring, the call finally connected.“Anna?” Robert’s voice came through the speaker, sounding calm and steady as always. “What happened?”She took a slow, deep breath. “I came into a jewelry store,” she began, her voice even. “I saw a necklace I really liked. Avery liked it too and we asked the attendant to pack it.” She glanced over at the Winters, who were still looking at her with smirks. “Then two girls walked in. They said they’re Winters and they demanded the necklace.”The small crowd in the store listened without even taking a breath. “I told the manager I have the money. I proved it. But they refused to sell it to me. They gave priority to the Winter, they said I cannot compete with them, and I should go and find another necklace.” Her grip tightened around the phone and her fingers curled on her other hand.
Chapter 77: The Girl Who Gave Away Power
The heavy silence in the boutique didn't even last for ten seconds before the entire room was turned into total chaos. It was like a switch had been flipped, and suddenly, everyone who had been looking down on Anna was tripping over themselves to get in her good graces.“Miss Graham, please forgive us!” the manager shouted as he rushed forward, bowing so low and so many times that he looked like a bobblehead. “If we had only known who you really were, none of this ever would have happened! I am so sincerely sorry for my total incompetence!”Behind Bella and Carla, their group of influencer friends scrambled forward too, their faces full of fake smiles and desperation. “We’re so sorry, Miss Graham!” one cried out. “We really didn’t know who you were!” added another, while a third pleaded.“Please, just forgive how we were acting earlier!”Even Bella, who had been the meanest of them all, stepped forward with her head down, her pride completely gone. “I truly apologize,” she said, he
Chapter 78: A God or Just a Man?
The Bugatti Mistral moved like a ghost through the city, its white body reflecting the bright lights of the skyline. But inside the leather cabin, the air felt incredibly heavy, almost like it was hard to breathe. Avery stared straight ahead at the road, her knuckles twitching from how hard she was gripping the steering wheel.“I can’t date him,” she said, her voice so quiet it was barely a whisper.Anna turned in her seat, looking at her friend with a confused expression. “Why?” she asked.Avery shook her head slowly, her eyes filling with a mix of fear and sadness. “Because he’s a god, Anna.”Anna blinked, clearly not following. “What?”“If Robert is really a Graham… then he’s above everyone on this planet,” Avery continued, her voice trembling more with every word. “If I date him, won’t I always just be beneath him? Won’t I have to bow to him like everyone else? Won’t I have to acknowledge that he’s superior to me every single time we look at each other?” She swallowed hard, the r
Chapter 79: Engines Before War
The Bullion Empire Corporation didn’t just sit on the street, it loomed over the city like a giant monument to pure power. It wasn’t just a building— it was a reminder of the power houses in the financial industry. Three massive glass domes sat on top of the structure, with one giant central dome towering over two smaller ones like a king standing over his guards. The sunlight hit the curved glass and the reflection made it look shiny and blinding, while the rest of the building was wrapped in black steel and mirrored panels that reflected the entire skyline.A wide marble staircase led up to the front doors, which were trimmed in real gold, and rows of water fountains lined the plaza, their streams jumping up and down in a perfect, synchronized beat. Everything about the place screamed three things: Wealth, Authority, and Control.At that exact moment, a Ferrari SF90 Stradale rolled into the driveway. It was low, aggressive, and looked deadly elegant. The engine didn't roar, it pur
Chapter 80: The Secret Is Out
Robert looked at Morris, then Edward, then Chloe, and finally Jane. Instead of getting angry or shouting back, he just let out a short, calm laugh. It wasn’t a crazy laugh, it was the sound of someone who knew a secret that was about to blow everyone’s minds.“Alright,” he said, sounding almost bored. “Go ahead. Walk inside, go sign your big deal and let’s just see what happens next.” He shook his head like he was disappointed in them. “Honestly, if you had any idea what you were actually walking into... you wouldn't be standing here talking like this.”Edward’s face turned a shade darker with rage, and Chloe clamped her jaw shut, her eyes stinging with hate. Morris didn't even bother to look at Robert, he just adjusted his expensive sleeves and acted like Robert didn't exist. But Malcolm, looking for a fight, stepped forward instead.“Where is Avery?” Malcolm asked, his voice cold and mean. “I’m going to deal with her myself. She embarrassed me in front of everyone, and I don't care
