Chapter 266 - The Main Plan
Thunderous applause erupted throughout the room as the Fund-a-Need session for the first program concluded. The emcee displayed the donation amounts received on a projector screen and the names of the donors."Now we will move on to the second program." The emcee briefly explained again about the second program and where the funds would go.The first program was the lowest-cost one. After this, the amounts mentioned were no longer in four digits."Will anyone give 10,000 dollars?" the emcee exclaimed.Several guests raised their hands, including Gabriel. This time, he had secured the position of being the first guest to name a donation, thus being chosen as the first donor for the second program."I'll give 10,000 dollars!" Gabriel declared, followed by applause from the audience.Viggo stared at Gabriel with hatred on his face. Seeing Pevita's proud expression at Gabriel's generosity made Viggo burn inside. He regretted spending 100 million dollars on a property that ultimately faile
Chapter 265 - Fund-a-Need Session
“She is Serena, a girl I met last night at the hotel. She works part-time at different places, so I thought I’d help her find a better job.”Pevita breathed a sigh of relief after learning the truth. She also admired Gabriel’s humility, as he would rather not be called by a formal, respectful title by that waitress. With a small chuckle, she responded, “Oh, I thought you liked her. I’m quite surprised you asked a waitress for her number.”Gabriel’s smile instantly dropped at Pevita’s words. He felt she was looking down on someone just because of her occupation. “Well, I’ve been in her shoes, so I just wanted to help her. Also, there’s nothing wrong with working as a waitress. It’s a clean, honest job,” Gabriel replied with a shrug.Pevita felt her words had offended Gabriel. Guilt washed over her as she tried to explain. “Oh, sorry, Gabriel, I didn’t mean that.”Gabriel responded curtly, without looking at her. “I know.”An awkward atmosphere immediately enveloped them, causing both
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 los
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
