024. The Bump
As Felix threw those annoying words at Cyan, his voice slowly faded into the distance as Stella grabbed him by the arm and dragged him away.Judy, on the other hand, picked up the snack in her hand and hurled it straight at Cyan.“Ugh!”The snack struck his chest before falling to the ground.Judy hissed angrily and stormed away without giving him another glance.The only person whose attitude was quite different was Britney.Rather than acting tough toward Cyan like the others, she simply shrugged and gave him a careful smile. There was something about that smile that made Cyan pause.If he wasn't mistaken, it was filled with hidden motives.But instead of thinking too deeply about it, Cyan brushed the thought aside. He looked around at everyone still staring at him and shrugged casually.“Show is over! Can we all go now?!”Without waiting for anyone to say another word, he grabbed the necklace he had just purchased and started walking away.Everything that had happened that day remi
023. Not Yet Over!
That question was a tough one.Especially because it was coming from Stella, the very person who had set up the challenge in the first place.Hearing her ask him whether they should go through with it or not only fueled the anger boiling inside Felix. He couldn't understand how she could even ask such a question after everything that had happened.Angrily, he stared at Stella, his mind filled with resentment.“It's all because of you that all of this is happening. If you hadn't shoved yourself into this and involved me in kneeling before this loser, none of this would be happening!” he cursed silently in his mind, his anger continuing to build as Stella held onto him.“Did you say something, my love?” Stella asked.Felix immediately shook his head.“No... no, my love. I didn't say anything.”He quickly dismissed the thought before finally answering the question Stella had asked.“I will see what to do about this animal!”Unable to imagine himself apologizing to a man he believed he wa
022. Kneel And Apologize II
Those words alone that came from Cyan's mouth weren't what surprised Stella.What left her eyes wide open was the POS machine sitting there in front of everyone, the same machine that had just beeped and announced, “Payment successful!”Her lips wouldn't stop quivering as hot sweat began rolling down her face.She slowly shook her head.“No… no! It can't be real. It can't be possible!”Her memories came rushing back as countless possibilities began striking her mind all at once.This was impossible to believe.How is this… how is this possible? she asked herself repeatedly.How can it even be possible for Cyan to pay that amount? One billion dollars?The amount was simply too much. It wasn't the kind of money that just anybody could walk up and pay without thinking twice.And to make matters even more shocking, this was the same man who had been incredibly poor when they were married.In fact, he was supposed to be so poor that even if he wanted to afford something, one thousand dolla
021. Successful
Hearing what Felix had challenged Cyan to do, everyone present couldn't help but scoff.Stella and her family members, especially, were delighted by the challenge Felix had thrown at Cyan. They were convinced that Cyan was far too useless to ever come up with a billion dollars, and with Felix now demanding that amount from him, they were certain it would be nearly impossible for him to prove himself.Seeing that she had finally found a way to escape going down on her knees and apologizing to Cyan, Stella let out a loud scoff before turning to him.“Aren't you going to give up already, Cyan?” she asked, letting out a low, deliberate chuckle.“This whole situation is already stacked against you, and both of us know very well that you can't afford a billion dollars! Are you really going to keep holding on to your stupid delusion that you're actually going to pay off that amount?”Stella's lips curled into a mocking smile as she stared at him, clearly expecting Cyan to back down.“My sist
020. Outbidded
Everyone in the auction hall was stunned.Felix stood frozen, his eyes widened in complete disbelief.Judy could do nothing but shake her head repeatedly."One... one billion dollars?"The amount was simply unimaginable. But to Cyan, it meant nothing.He calmly crossed one leg over the other as a faint, mysterious smile curled across his lips.On the stage, even the auctioneer had to swallow a large pint of spit before finding his voice again."O-Okay..."He took a deep breath and forced a professional smile onto his face."The MPU MODEL-Z Necklace has been auctioned for one billion dollars to Mr. Cyan Sean!"He raised the auction hammer."Going once!""Going twice!""Going thrice!""Gone!"BANG!The hammer struck the podium.A thunderous round of applause erupted throughout the auction hall.At that very moment, Felix shot to his feet."This is bullshit!"he roared, the veins on his forehead bulging with rage.He simply couldn't comprehend what had just happened.Nearby, Britteney re
019. Impossible
The moment Cyan said those words, every pair of eyes in the hall turned towards him.Stella slowly looked him up and down, disbelief written all over her face.Judy let out a dark scoff.Meanwhile, Britteney nearly dropped the glass of wine in her hand before marching over to where Cyan was seated. She stopped in front of him, glaring at him with undisguised contempt."Excuse me, Cyan. What the heck do you think all of this is?"She swept her hand across the auction hall."Do you seriously think this is some kind of joke? Do you think everyone here is playing around with you?" She pointed an accusing finger at him. "For your goddamn information, this is an auction, for crying out loud! Yet you have the audacity to raise your paddle and start blurting out nonsense?"Cyan did not even spare her a glance.Instead, his eyes remained fixed on the auctioneer, completely ignoring Britteney as though she did not exist.The blatant disregard only made Britteney's anger boil even more.She roll
