DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate

CHAPTER NINE

"No way, you still haven't gotten over Amanda? Are you going to go in front of her and cry and beg for forgiveness?" Luther laughed and sized up Devin with a playful look in his eyes.

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to see her if you really insist."

"Enough!" Devin interrupted him. "I'm not here for her. I'm going home!"

Luther burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You're still being stubborn, aren't you?"

"Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you meet Amanda."

He ordered the bodyguards to take Devin inside.

Devin sighed. "You know what? If I go in, your wedding is going to be ruined for sure."

"Really? What, are you going to mooch off the food and starve everyone else to death?"

"Take him in!" Luther lost all his patience and commanded the bodyguards viciously to drag Devin in.

But when they were met with Devin's cold stare, they somehow didn't dare to lay a hand on him.

"You asked for this," Devin sneered, and then strode in.

"What's with all the posturing?" Luther scoffed. Then his eyes darkened.

"Keep an eye on him. If he dares to cause trouble, make sure he pays dearly for it!"

The auditorium was ablaze with light. Devin spotted from afar a crowd huddled around a massive crystal sculpture. Clearly, it was Luther and Amanda carved on it.

"Goodness, this thing's gotta be worth a mint.”

“Luther's really got connections. Even the big shot who owns the No.1 mansion sent a wedding gift."

"Lucky Amanda, nabbing a guy like that."

The guests whispered among themselves.

Amanda tapped the wine glass, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

"To the owner of the No.1 mansion!"

Devin glared at Amanda with pity, for he knew he hadn't sent Luther any gifts.

Luther lied to Amanda. He lied to everyone.

“What a loser. Faking a gift just to gain prestige,” Devin scoffed.

But then, people-sized Devin up and sneered at Devin as he walked past them. Some of them even covered their noses with their handkerchiefs.

“Who invited this trash dump? Couldn't he dress up properly for a wedding?” He heard someone say from the crowd.

“Perhaps he's a beggar. We get a lot of them in the party these days. Just give him some money and you'll be fine,” another person whispered.

“But this is a top-class wedding. Vermin like him shouldn't be here!”

The argument persisted as Devin sighed, looking for the most insignificant seat in the auditorium. He didn't want to be the center of attention, although it seemed like he couldn't help it.

“Here. Sit with me,” a beautiful lady with dark hair and blue eyes said to Devin.

And when she smiled at him, Devin's heart melted on the spot. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen! Even more beautiful than Amanda.

“Thanks…” Devin replied and sat beside her. She gazed at him curiously.

“My name is Kia. I heard them talking about your outfit. Don't listen to them. You look great,” she said with a smile.

“I'm Devin. And you look even better. I love your eyes,” Devin replied to her, smiling as well.

“Thanks…” Kia blushed at his comment, her face heated up with a blush.

“It's a grand gift, isn't it? The wedding gift. The owner of the number 1 mansion must be a top shot, don't you think?” Kia asked him.

Devin looked at the statue again, and then at Kia. “I doubt the owner of the number 1 mansion has got any time for such frivolous things. It's all a show. Trust me,” Devin responded.

Kia found his certainly curious.

“How do you know—”

“Oh! For fucks sake! Who let this fucking lickspittle into this auditorium?” Jim, Amanda's brother growled as he approached Devin.

Devin settled his darkened gaze on him, but Jim did not back down.

“This is the height of indiscipline. You dare sneak your way into my sister's wedding? Did you think you wouldn't get caught?”

“How stupid and shameless can you fucking be? Why is it so hard to deal with the fact that Amanda has dumped you already? Must you parade your pitiful existence all over the place?” Jim yelled at Devin.

Some guests turned to observe the scene, and Kia flushed with embarrassment while people started looking.

“Why don't you just leave? You're embarrassing this young man for nothing!” Kia shot back at Jim who scoffed while he gazed upon her.

“Bitch! If I want a mouth to suck my dick, I'll call you. You better shut your cum dump or I'll shut it for you!” Jim snapped back at Kia.

But then, Devin rose to his feet.

“Apologize to the lady,” he demanded. Although Devin towered over Jim, the latter tried to hide his intimidation. But Jim took a step back in fear.

“Playing the knight in shining armor now? You think she'll fuck you if you do this? Ha! Not even a pig would want a freaking degenerate like you!”

And then, Devin slapped Jim immediately. The guests gasped as the slap resounded, and Jim himself could swear he couldn't hear a thing afterward!

“Fuck you, motherfucker!” Jim cursed and threw a punch at Devin. But Devin grabbed his hand, kicked him in the belly, and threw him into a roll of seats.

The guests gasped again in shock as Jim landed with a clatter, breaking many of the chairs.

“Devin! What the fuck are you doing at my wedding!!” Amanda suddenly screamed as the commotion shook the auditorium to its core.
