Chapter 264 - Dinner at Charity Gala
Even the manager of the charity gala didn't know Gabriel's true identity. He only knew that Gabriel was a representative of the Ashton family, but he wouldn't announce this information to the guests.The guests looked at Gabriel with worry and concern."His master must be so mad to find out that he has a conflict with Viggo Klaussen.""He might be protecting the mayor's daughter, but he's put himself in a difficult position.""Doesn't he know who he's dealing with?""He's digging his own grave."The whispers of the audience were like background noise to Gabriel; they didn't affect him. As for Viggo, their words felt like fuel for him because he believed he held the higher position here.Viggo took a stance, his gaze focused on Gabriel. He lunged forward, aiming an attack at Gabriel, but Gabriel quickly blocked his attack, twisting his arm, making Viggo wince in pain.He pushed Viggo, causing him to fall to the floor. The unfolding event sent shockwaves among onlookers. They didn't exp
Chapter 263 - Forced Invitation
“Dad, please let me explain. This villa is a highly desirable property, and there's also a vineyard nearby. It's located in Saint Corvin, a beautiful city, isn't it? We can visit there during the holidays,” Viggo explained.Mr. Klaussen sighed. “But you shouldn't have spent 100 million dollars on a villa and vineyard. We already have enough properties, and our company's finances have been down this month. You shouldn't have wasted money like this!” he scolded.Viggo wiped his face roughly, sensing his father's anger. “Dad, but this property could be a valuable asset for us. Its value will definitely rise dramatically, and we can sell it in the future if you don't want to keep it.” He sighed, pausing.“And I don’t want to miss the opportunity to impress my dream girl, Pevita Leroy,” Viggo continued.Viggo's last sentence stunned his father for a moment, his expression suddenly changing. In an excited tone, Mr. Klaussen asked.“What? Are you serious? Is she attending the event?”Viggo l
Chapter 262 - A Sudden Decision
A look of anger formed on Viggo's face as he clenched his fists. He immediately raised his hand and bid. "I'll take this house for 70 million dollars!"His offer left the rest of the audience gaping in astonishment for that amount of money, but they weren't too surprised because it came from the son of the richest man in Valmont City, Mr. Klaussen.The two men stared at each other, creating tension. Gabriel smirked, curious to see how much Viggo could beat his bid.Raising his hand, he spoke confidently. "I'll offer 90 million dollars!"Viggo felt increasingly tempted to make a higher bid. This time, he couldn't afford to lose to Gabriel. However, Gabriel's offer exceeded Viggo's spending limit for this event.As the heir to the Klaussen family, he hadn't been given the power to take control of the family company, as his father, Mr. Klaussen, deemed him incapable yet. He had money, but not a substantial unlimited amount like Gabriel.Viggo was silent for a moment. He couldn't lose thi
Chapter 261 - A Villa and The Vineyard
Seeing Gabriel's reaction to her, which remained the same, Pevita felt that Gabriel was truly different from other men she had ever encountered. He looked at her with a normal gaze, not the smitten stare that made her uncomfortable.Because of this, Pevita was interested in becoming further friends with Gabriel. "Wait, Gabriel." She took a business card from her clutch bag and handed it to him."This is my contact information, and I'd be glad if you would contact me. I want to be friends with you," she explained.Gabriel stared at the card, his gaze meeting hers as he smiled. "Okay, Pevita. It's nice to meet you here."Gabriel didn't think romantically of Pevita. Instead, he saw Pevita as his new connection, in keeping with his purpose of coming to the charity gala to expand his network.Viggo's anger escalated when he saw Pevita handing Gabriel her business card. Gritting his teeth, he muttered in disappointment and anger."I like her so much, but I never got her personal contact. An
Chapter 260 - From Doubt To Praise
Comments were flying in the air, filled with curiosity and surprise.“Gabriel Bruhn? Have you ever heard of that name before?”“Bruhn? I’ve never heard of someone rich in this country with that surname.”“Is he new money? I attend charity galas every year, and I’ve never seen him before.”“Despite all that, he’s so fine!”Pevita paused, glancing at Gabriel. She watched him, intrigued. His nonchalant demeanor and unfamiliar identity made her even more interested in getting to know him better.The lady in formal attire, with a broad smile, spoke. “Alright, Mr. Gabriel Bruhn. You are offering the highest price for this watch set, so you won this auction. Congratulations, sir!” she declared, followed by applause from the audience.Amidst the thunderous applause, someone suddenly interrupted. He raised his hand and spoke loudly. “Wait, wait! I need you all to stop this! I need you all to be wary of that man.” Someone, none other than Viggo, pointed at Gabriel.His impromptu statement cause
Chapter 259 - A Nonchalant Man
As for Viggo, he was also waiting for the right moment to bid. He already had a plan for the price range he would enter the bidding session. He was confident his offer would be the highest.A woman with a designer bag in her hand raised her hand, speaking with elegance.“I’ll offer 800,000 dollars for that beautiful watch set.”Her words hung in the air, drawing all the audience’s attention. She let out a smug smile, confident that her bid was the highest and that she would take home the watch.Silence fell over the bidding session, and the lady in formal attire was about to speak. But before her microphone could reach her mouth, a guest raised his hand and declared.“I’ll offer a higher price, 1 million dollars!” His bid instantly beat the woman’s, making her instantly disappointed.Gabriel, Viggo, and Pevita all had their offers in mind. The atmosphere grew tense as the prices rose.Several guests who had placed lower bids could only stand idly by, as they had no chance of winning t
