2026-02-15 07:40:38A sudden idea and solution flickered in his thoughts.
He said to Lynda, “In that case, drive me to the Woods Mansion.”
“Isn’t that where your ex lives?” Aileen asked.
“It is. But I got a plan.” Chris said with a smile on his face.
Then he continued, “I’m going to need a little favor from you.”
The two girls looked at him suspiciously.
“What help?” Lynda asked first.
“Can you hook me up with some fake TNT props?”
“What!?” the two ladies exclaimed.
“If I may ask, for what?” Aileen asked
“Bring your ears, ladies.” Chris said as he smiled.
Then he whispered something into their ears.
The two of them gasped.
“This new underboss is one smart guy. I like him already.” Aileen muttered to herself.
Lynda drove to the Woods family mansion in no time.
As he collected the gun from them, he smiled.
“Thanks for your help, ladies. I’ll see you later.” Chris said as he waved at them.
“Goodluck, boss.” They said to him happily.
As Chris walked into the Woods mansion, the first person he saw was Veronica.
She had just finished having her bath and was tying her bathrobe well when she looked up to see Chris.
She gasped in shock, “Oh!”
She turned her back towards him.
Chris’s Rom eyes activated and he was shocked with what wonders the eyes could see
“Wait! I can see through her clothes?” he asked himself.
“The power of the eyes of Rom is X-ray vision?” he grinned as he muttered to himself.
“Chris Greene. What are you doing here? You and Charlotte are divorced, remember?” Veronica asked.
“We are. You know? That’s true. But I was her lawfully wedded husband so that gives me a legal right to her assets, so… all I want is $50 million and I’ll be on my way.” Chris said coolly.
Veronica laughed at him, “ $50 million? Are you insane? Out. Now!”
“I’m not here to argue with you. I’m going to speak with Charlotte.” Chris dismissed her.
Before he could go through, Veronica tried to stop him.
Chris pushed her to the couch, her ass facing him.
His Rom eyes activated again and he could see her naked butt.
He couldn’t help himself as he slightly pressed it.
“Chris Greene! You better not be trying anything funny.” Veronica warned him.
Chris chuckled as he yanked her head to the bad, “You seem to enjoy having your way with me. Maybe I should return the favor.”
He spanked her ass loudly.
She moaned softly.
“If Charlotte finds out about this, she will never forgive you. I’m still technically your mother-in-law. We shouldn’t.” Veronica said as she tried to come to her senses.
“Really?” Chris spanked her again. “That’s not what you said last night in bed.”
“What are you...” before Veronica could finish, Chris cut her off.
Charlotte saw them from the stairs and rushed down, “Stop!”
“Chris, you disgust me. Let her go right now.” Charlotte shouted.
“Look who decided to join the party?” Chris grinned.
“I said, let go of her.” Charlotte said again.
“I will… if you uh… if you give me $50 million.” Chris said.
“No way. The best I can do is 1 million. Take it or leave it.” Charlotte said, folding her arms.
“Wow! You hear that?” Chris asked facing Veronica.
“You helped her with her twisted plan to divorce me and you’re still only worth a measly 1 million.” Chris mocked her.
“Shut up!” Charlotte snapped. Then she clapped her hands, signaling for her boys to come down.
In no time, they came with their guns.
“Last chance. Let Vee go or my men will turn you into Swiss cheese.” Charlotte said with an attitude.
Chris smirked, “You are going to shoot me? Go ahead! If anyone’s not leaving this room alive, it’s you guys.”
Charlotte looked at him intently. Then signaled to her men that they shoot him.
Chris panicked, “Wait… wait… wait…”
“What? You scared, baby boy?” Charlotte said with a grin
“Never again, Charlotte.” Chris said as he opened his shirt and the bomb came in view.
Panic rose in everybody’s heart.
They all shifted back.
“Do I look scared to you, Charlotte?” Chris asked as he held the switch of the bomb in his hand.
“Chris, you’re insane.” Charlotte said softly.
“Yeah. Yeah. I’m insane. A total nutjob. And you? You’re a Wood. The precious heir to your family’s multi-billion dollar fortune. You see, I’m an orphan, Charlotte. A simple commoner with no money or power. What do I have to lose? I’ll gladly walk back into hell if it means taking you down with me.” Chris said with a determined look on his face.
He stepped forward, as if he was about to press the button.
“Fine!” Charlotte snapped.
“I’ll give you what you want. My family’s money is mostly from investment. It’s not like I actually have $50 million on me right now.” She replied.
“Well, then. How much do you have?” Chris asked immediately.
“$20 million?” Charlotte responded softly.
“Deal!” Chris said happily.
Immediately, one of Charlotte’s men brought a black card in and Charlotte gave it to him.
Chris smiled at her, “It was good doing business with you, Charlotte. See ya.” He said happily as he walked away.
As he held the card in his hand, he smiled triumphantly and threw the fake bomb away.
As the scene played in his head again, he couldn’t help but smile.

“I don’t know who you are, but I will not let you talk about my Chris like that. Unless… you want to end up bankrupt too?” she said easily.Charlotte shook slightly. She won’t let tonight ruin all the hard work she has put in the Woods corporation to waste all because Chris.She turned to Veronica, “Just drop it, Vee.”Then she continued, facing Chris. “You haven’t answered my question. Did you get the VIP invite from Michelle?” she asked again.“That… is none of your business.” Chris responded with a smile.“Chris! I know, I hurt your fragile male ego when we got divorced. But it was your fault and you know it too!” she accused.“Excuse me?” Chris asked, bewildered.“When you showed up today, all powerful… for a second, I thought, you finally got your life together. Guess you are a disappointment after all.” She said, shaking her head.“Oh you are one to talk.” Chris looked at her in disgust.“It doesn’t matter! Because you are still a loser. All you do is to hide behind powerful and

Just as they were wondering who Chris Greene in, an elegant lady with porcelain-like skin and gorgeous blonde hair walked in.“What’s wrong with my fiancé putting a few CEOs in their place?” Michelle Antonio said with a huge smile.She walked straight to Chris and immediately locked hands with him.Chris looked at her confused.Fiance? He last time he checked he was recently divorced and is currently single.He tried to say something to her but her innocent gorgeous smile melted his stone-cold heart.“Why does she look so familiar?” he asked himself.Michelle’s voice broke out again, “Chris Greene is my savior and the love of my life. That should give him every right to do whatever he wants to.”“What!? He is engaged to the Michelle Antonio?” Kent couldn’t help but to exclaim as he said.“I didn’t know he had ties to the Antonio family.” Jason said in disbelief.Charlotte shook violently with anger and jealousy, “When were you… uh! Chris! How did you end up like this?”Chris looked at

“As soon as Mr. Greene gives the order, we can have you all disappear.” Aileen said frankly.Charlotte and the others flinched slightly.“Mr. Greene, don’t you think that’s a bit overboard??” Mr. Tom asked“How so?” Chris responded.“Well, like we said, it was all a misunderstanding. And we are even willing to offer something to make up for it.” Kent quickly said.“You think I need your money?” Chris asked them, stunned by their foolishness.“Yeah. Between the three of us, we covered the entire market in the city. Dining, leisure, fashion, hospitality, you name it!” Jason said.“Not to brag, Mr. Greene. But, we hold all the cards as far as industry is concerned. And you are not the dealer.” Tom said proudly.“You sure about that?” Chris casually asked.“You are not high enough on the ladder.” Tom said angrily.“Tom Worth.” Aileen tried to warn him.“Oh, please, Ms. Aileen. I respect Mikaelson’s authority. But this man… is just another VIP at an auction house. I don’t care if he got in
Chapter Fifteen
“If you are the real deal, why don’t you show us something we haven’t seen before?” Veronica asked with an attitude.“Oh please, you would faint from the shock.” Chris responded calmly.“Shut up, Chris! All you do is to talk as if any of us would ever believe you.” Charlotte said mockingly.“Fine. If that’s what you want, we’ll give it to you. Aileen, tell them who I am.” Chris said as he faced Aileen.Aileen nodded slightly, “If you think Mr. Greene is just here on a VIP experience package, you’re wrong! He leaked that fake intel on purpose to see who would fall for it. Mr. Greene is actually Mikaelson syndicate’s ultimate guest of honor.”Everyone stared at her dumbfounded, shock striking through their bones.“What!? No way!” Fabio said in disbelief.“So, there are actually two VIPs here tonight?” Mr. Tom also asked in disbelief.‘The first one’s Ms. Michelle. That I know. But, you are saying the second one is… this guy?” Kent said pointing angrily at Chris.“He is on par with Anton
Chapter 14
In a private room at the auction house, news got to Ms. Michelle Antonio that her item was sold for 10 million.“What? My painting just sold for 10 million!? Who is the buyer?” she asked excitedly.“It was purchased for a Mr. Chris Greene, ma’am.” Her assistant Angelica told her.“Chris Greene…” she thought for a second.She remembered the little boy that had saved her when she was being chased by a bull dog.She remembered the boy had said his name was Chris Greene.She gasped excitedly, “We are going to the auction, Angelica. I have to meet him in person.”She happily walked out of the room.Back at the auction room, Aileen continued with the biddings.“Starting at $100, 000.” She said pointing at a gold necklace.“300,000.” Kent raised his hand.“700, 000.” Mr. Tom countered.“How much did we spend?” Fabio asked Charlotte in a low tone“Three million. Chris is still the top sender of the day so far.” Charlotte responded.“Fuck! Fucking charity auction. They are not even selling any

Fabio, Charlotte and Veronica turned sharply in disbelief.Peter Kent laughed out, “Look at this low life trying to buy back what little remains of his dignity.”“What did he just bid? A hundred thousand!?” Jason asked in disbelief.“That’s probably his entire net worth.” He added.“Jesus, Chris. Of all things, that’s what you are going to bid on?” Fabio asked in disbelief.“I made my move. The ball’s in your court now.” Chris said as he shrugged his shoulders.“I told you. I’m not going to let you go home with anything today. Not even trash like this.” Fabio said, determination evident in his voice.“200,000.” He said confidently.Chris smirked but a memory surged through.He remembered rescuing a little girl from a bull dog when he was younger.“Could this memory be connected to this item?” he asked himself.But now was not the time to be distracted so he continued to bid. “500,000.”“1 MILLION.” Fabio countered.“1 million is chump change to the DeLuca family.
