DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR

CHAPTER 4 AUCTION

Vincent grimaced. Every word he spoke pulled at his swollen face, making him wince in pain.

“Did you forget? Tonight’s the orphanage charity gala. That land has caught the eye of quite a few powerful players.”

At the mention of business, Mariya instantly switched into her sharp, capable CEO mode.

“That’s right. The orphanage land is incredibly valuable. I intend to claim it, no matter what.”

Vincent grinned flatteringly. “I knew you wouldn’t let such a prize slip by. Don’t worry. Our family will fully support yours. With both of us working together, it’s practically a sure win.”

At that, a smile blossomed on Mariya’s face, bright and elegant, like a blooming rose.

“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Young Master Vincent.”

“But let’s be clear. Your family helps us this time, and we’ll return the favor next time.”

Winning a smile from the beauty, Vincent was practically glowing with delight.

His face twitched again as he smiled, sending fresh jolts of pain through his bruised cheeks. Inwardly, he cursed Karvel again.

You piece of trash… just wait.

Meanwhile, in the Maybach, the driver Markos glanced back and asked respectfully,

“Young Master, should I step in? Just name it, and I’ll make sure Mariya’s entire family goes bankrupt overnight. Vanish without a trace. How dare they treat you like that after all you’ve done.”

If anyone else were in the car right now, their jaws would absolutely hit the floor.

The country's most formidable billionaire, an iron-fisted tycoon who rakes in fortunes effortlessly, Markos, is actually playing chauffeur to some young man, and practically fawning over him, no less.

Karvel, sitting calmly in the back seat, replied evenly,

“My relationship with Mariya is over. But I’m not the type to seek revenge after the fact. That’s beneath me.”

Markos chuckled. “Of course. I just can’t stand seeing you treated unfairly, that’s all.”

Suddenly, Markos’s phone rang.

Without hesitation, he picked it up. Thirty seconds later, his expression darkened.

When he ended the call, he sat in silence for a few moments, then turned to Karvel with a serious look.

“Young Master, I just received word. The land the orphanage sits on is going up for auction.”

Karvel’s eyes narrowed. “What happened?”

“They say the orphanage can’t sustain its operations. With all the new developments in the area, the land value’s shot up. To secure a new place for the kids, the director had no choice but to agree to sell.”

Markos glanced at Karvel anxiously as he finished.

Karvel might now be a man of immense power, someone whose single command could make Markos tremble.

But he had grown up in that orphanage.

Karvel had never spoken much about his past or his family, so Markos never dared to pry.

“I won’t let those kids end up on the streets,” Karvel said, massaging the bridge of his furrowed brow. “When’s the auction?”

“Tonight.”

Karvel leaned back in his seat and let out a quiet sigh.

“Take me there. I’ll buy it back.”

Now that Mariya was no longer in his life, those children… were the only family he had left.
