At that moment, Mr. Nathaniel's words hit the room like a match thrown into gasoline. The guests who had been grumbling under their breath suddenly found their voices, their heads bobbing in fierce agreement. The energy in the auction hall shifted completely, transforming from scattered complaints into something much more dangerous - unified anger.

“Absolutely right,” a man in an expensive gray suit called out, his voice cutting through the murmur. “We need proof, not just some fancy card waving around.”

A woman with pearl earrings uttered.

“This is exactly the kind of nonsense that ruins these events for everyone,” she said, her tone dripping with disdain. “We come here in good faith, and this is what we get?”

The crowd was feeding off each other now, their individual frustrations melting together into one powerful force. They weren't just annoyed anymore - they were insulted. The idea that someone might be playing games with their money, manipulating the auction right under their n

    At that moment, Tyler's mother couldn't help but burst into laughter at her son's desperate plea for her to stop embarrassing him in front of Princess Sophia. She was clearly having way too much fun with this whole situation to let it go so easily, but she decided she had tortured her poor son enough for one evening.“Alright, alright, I'm just playing with you both,” Tyler's mother said, still chuckling as she wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. “But honestly, you two are just too easy to tease, and I couldn't resist the opportunity when it presented itself so perfectly.”She then shifted in her seat and looked directly at Princess Sophia with a warm, genuine smile that replaced all the mischievous teasing from just moments before.“Princess Sophia, sweetheart, I do hope you'll forgive an old woman for having a bit of fun at your expense,” she said, her voice carrying that motherly affection that made it impossible to stay upset with her. “I'm actually very glad that Tyler has

    At that moment, Tyler's mother caught the exact expression that had frozen on her son's face when he walked through that door and saw Princess Sophia sitting there looking absolutely stunning in the warm light of their living room. She had raised Tyler from the time he was a tiny baby, had watched him grow up through all his awkward teenage years, and she knew every single one of his facial expressions better than he knew them himself.That particular look he was wearing right now, the one where his eyes went a little wide and his mouth opened just slightly while he stood there like someone had cast a spell on him, was definitely not the look of a man who was simply surprised to see an unexpected guest in his house.Tyler's mother had seen that exact same expression on her son's face maybe three or four times in his entire life, and every single time it had meant the same thing - he was looking at a woman who had completely knocked him off his feet without even trying.A mischievous

    Tyler shifted the crystal ball to his other hand again and leaned back against the leather seat of his car, already thinking ahead to how he was going to use this new knowledge to track down the second crystal ball he needed for his plans.“Alright then, no problem at all,” Tyler continued, his tone becoming more businesslike now that they had covered the main topic he was concerned about.“There's definitely going to be more things we need to discuss about all of this, especially once I have a chance to look into the Bushman family connections a bit more and figure out exactly how to approach them about getting access to their supplier networks.”He paused for just a moment before adding, “But for right now, since you actually need my help with this university get-together event, then I'm going to follow through on what I promised and be your escort for the evening. You helped me out with the information I needed, so it's only fair that I help you out with what you need.”Princess So

    At that moment, hearing Princess Sophia's eager response and knowing that she was willing to provide him with the information he desperately needed about the auction house connections, Tyler found himself nodding his head even though she couldn't see him through the phone. “Alright then, no problem at all,” Tyler said, his voice carrying a tone of finality that told Princess Sophia he had made up his mind about the whole situation. “Since you're willing to answer my question and help me out with this information I need, then I'll definitely be going with you to this university get-together event. You've got yourself a companion for the evening.”Princess Sophia's relief was so obvious that Tyler could practically feel it radiating through the phone, and he heard her let out a breath she must have been holding while waiting for his answer. She was clearly thrilled that he had agreed to help her, and her voice became much more animated and enthusiastic as she responded.“Oh thank you

    At that moment, hearing everything Princess Sophia had just finished explaining about the university get-together and all the powerful families that would be attending, Tyler found himself feeling completely uninterested in the whole thing. The idea of spending an entire evening surrounded by wealthy young people making small talk and showing off their latest achievements sounded like exactly the kind of social torture he usually went out of his way to avoid.He had never been the type of person who enjoyed these fancy gatherings where everyone was constantly trying to one-up each other with stories about their success or their family connections. The thought of putting on a suit and tie, smiling politely at strangers, and pretending to care about conversations that would probably revolve around business deals and social climbing made him want to hang up the phone right then and there.But just as Tyler was about to politely decline Princess Sophia's request and suggest she find someo

    Tyler nodded even though she couldn't see him, already getting a sense of where this conversation might be heading because he knew how these fancy university events worked, especially when they involved people from Princess Sophia's social circle.“Now, I usually attend these things every year, and normally I don't have any problems making excuses when I don't feel like going or when I'm too busy with other responsibilities,” Princess Sophia continued, her voice getting softer and more vulnerable as she spoke. “But this time feels different, Tyler. This time I feel like I can't just skip it and pretend I'm too busy or too sick to show up.”There was something in her voice that made Tyler's chest tighten with understanding, because he knew exactly what she was really talking about when she mentioned having limited time. Her condition, the thing that was slowly draining her spiritual energy and making her weaker each day, was always there in the background of every decision she made.“I
