Adery was very unhappy, but she still retained her wisdom. She still knew how to choose between money, dignity, and personal safety.She opened her bag and reached out to take out a bank card.She felt disgusted, aggrieved, and helpless.The waiter happily nodded. “This is right.”He took over a card machine, and he prepared to take over her card and swiped it. But, a muscular figure came over and forcefully moved two security guards aside.A big palm took the bank card away.“This meal is on my treat.”Everyone was stunned by this, and they looked at the man who spoke at the same time.Adery turned her head slightly. The moment she saw the man, her eyes became teary. The person who came was none other than Thomas, whom Adery had been missing!He was back.“Thomas!”Adery shouted in agitation. If there had not been many people, she would have probably not been able to control herself from rushing forward and hugging him.Thomas was back, and this meant he was fine. That als

William smiled faintly as he answered, “I was more scared than hurt. Luckily, Thomas helped me, or I would have lost my life in South City. Come, get into the car.”Car?At this time, Adery saw the convertible sports car in front of her. It looked like it cost a few million dollars.“Dad, this car?” “It was given by someone.”“Who?”“The people who kidnapped me.”Adery was confused. How could those kidnappers give him a car? What kind of joke was this?Thomas walked over and said, “We can’t explain it clearly in an instant. Get into the car first. Let’s talk on the way.”They got into the car before Thomas activated the engine, and he targeted the destination at a KTV operated by Water Cloud. On the way, William told Adery about the purpose of his visit to South City and how he got involved with Mandrill and his gang. After listening to her father’s explanation, Adery felt scared too.Without Thomas, not only William but she, too, would have died in South City.This place

There were 24 items on the menu, so the auction would be very long.William scrolled through the menu, and he found the item that he wanted to bid on the eighth, which was Asclepius Needles.Right then, Merrick, who was in front, turned around and smiled. “Mr. Owen, what do you want to bid on this time?” he asked.William ignored him.Merrick chuckled as he said, “Mr. Owen, the Dawson family is on good terms with the Owen family. If you don’t have a sufficient amount of money, just tell me, I’ll lend it to you. But the precondition is that you don’t bid on the same thing as me. Otherwise, I’ll feel very awkward.“Oh yeah, let me tell you in advance, I’m eyeing the set of Asclepius Needles, so I hope you won’t seize the thing I love, Mr. Owen.”He clearly knew what William wanted, so he said that to make a concession in order to gain advantages. This was quite impressive.Displeased, Adery said, “Merrick Dawson, the Dawson family members are surgeons. Why do you need Asclepius Ne

Thomas sneered. “I mean I want this necklace.”“You want it?” Merrick laughed out loud. “Lad, look at yourself in the mirror. Are you qualified?”He raised his hand. “Seven million dollars. I want it.”Thomas immediately responded. “Eight million dollars!”A necklace’s price had been raised to $8,000,000, which was extremely high. Honestly, it was more than everyone’s expectation.Merrick looked unhappy. “Punk, do you want to die? Are you purposely going against me?”Thomas stretched out his hands. “You can raise the price if you can. Is the Dawson family only good at bragging? Are you actually very poor?”“Nonsense!” Merrick immediately added the price. “Ten million dollars from me!”As soon as he spoke, Thomas immediately responded, “Twelve million dollars!”Thomas’ price was much higher than his.Merrick was unhappy. Twelve million dollars for a jade necklace? That price was definitely not worth it.He intended to pull out.Thomas sneered. “Did you say you want to buy a

He had to take action without any mistake.Now he had found her. Subsequently, he just needed to watch her closely. He would find a chance to bring her back.The condition was, Vany just needed to be willing to leave.During the 15-minute break, Merrick and Sophia left their seats.They came to a corner with no one around, and they whispered to each other.Sophia pouted, and her face looked unhappy. “Hmph! We bought a fake necklace for $20,000,000. This makes me so angry. Thomas Mayo is really terrible.”Merrick whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll settle this account with them.”“What do you plan to do with them?”Merrick stuffed a pack of powder in Sophia's hand. “This is the medicine specially made by my family. After consuming it, the person will be very obedient. When the auction nears its end, invite Adery out alone. Then, treat her to some tea and secretly put this in her cup.“After she drinks it, you have to leave the site. I’ll ask my men to bring her away!“Not only that,
