Soon, the day of the stone gambling event arrived.All the hotels and inns were fully booked, and there was double the usual number of people on the streets. The town was bustling with activity.The event was held at Wickval Square. At 10:00 am, those who received the invitation entered the venue by flashing their invitation cards.Victoria followed Benjamin as they went in via the VIP lane. They entered the VIP room with the best view.She was in a white dress and wore her long, silky hair down.With her fair skin and sparkling eyes, she looked just like a fairy who accidentally entered the human world. She wore a pair of canvas shoes, and they gave her already youthful self a vibrant touch.Looking around curiously, she looked ethereally beautiful and innocent. Her beauty turned heads, and eyes were locked on her.Benjamin stood straight and tall in a green shirt. He looked dashing, and there was a distant yet elegant air about him. His gaze was clad in frost.Hand in hand, t

Victoria and Benjamin stole the limelight.After the auction, the person in charge of the event approached them. "Sir and Madam, would you like to cut your stone now?"Regardless of the yield, stones like this that were sold at an unbelievable price would attract a lot of attention.Benjamin looked at Victoria. She looked eager as she answered, "Yes! Cut all of them, including the ones I bought earlier."After spending a fortune on those stones, she was curious to know what they contained.She wasn't expecting the one Benjamin bought to be of higher value than what they paid for. She merely hoped they wouldn't suffer too great of a loss.Her heart ached when she thought about how much loss they would sustain over it.Soon, the staff brought out the machine needed to cut the stones. Everyone else in the room was thrilled.Victoria was quite lucky. She bought a few smaller rocks at a high price, and the gemstones they contained exceeded her expectations.Everyone else was highly

As soon as Gordon stepped out, he ran into several of his subordinates.When they saw him, they were initially surprised. Then, they surrounded him with joy and fear on their faces.Gordon looked at them and recalled how they had left him alone to save their own lives not too long ago.Fortunately, he had managed to avoid danger. Otherwise, these useless men might have been the cause of his death.The more Gordon thought about it, the angrier he was. He vented his frustration by delivering a slap here and a kick there. Of course, none of them dared to show their anger.Soon, someone with a quick mind explained, "Gordon, we weren't running away for our lives. W-We went to look for backup."Are you alright? Who were those people just now?"Were they the pretty girl's people? What's their background?"I heard that the man with the pretty girl has an 800 million dollar bid on that stone. It's apparently just a toy for her."The price has increased, but they refuse to sell it, no

The meeting took place at a hotel in the city center of Yrinas.The economy of Yrinas was not well-developed. The government heavily targeted their primary source of income. Thus, the wealth did not bring any benefits to the common folks.Many roads in Yrinas had potholes. Although the highway had deteriorated, no one repaired it. Moreover, there were random toll booths in various places.In general, the city was in a chaotic state.When Ethan arrived, Ashton and his men were already waiting. After a rough journey, displeasure was evident on Ethan's face.As soon as he entered the room, Ashton noticed Ethan was not in a good mood and frowned. Gordon had realized it, too.Gordon approached Ethan with a fawning expression. "Hey, man. What's wrong with you?"Ethan glared at Gordon, irritation written all over his face."What have you been up to all these years? Don't you know how to make a proper arrangement? Why did you choose this godforsaken place?" he questioned.His words le

Ethan and Silas left the hotel. After getting into the car, Ethan asked the latter, "Could Ashton be Benjamin's dad's illegitimate son?""No idea. Even though they look alike, I don't think they're brothers. As you said, Ashton is like a knockoff version," answered Silas.He added, "Look at how pretentious he was with his long shirt and rosary beads. If Benjamin were anything like that, Victoria definitely wouldn't fall for him."But I'm not sure. I'll make a call and find out.""Benjamin is just as pretentious. The two of them are as bad as each other. Who are you calling?"Silas replied, "Yves."Ethan quickly stopped him. "What does Yves know? I'll make the call. Let me ask Vicky."Silas cast a sympathetic look at Ethan upon hearing that. Yet, the former immediately exposed him, saying, "Just go ahead and call Victoria if you want to."While they were talking, Ethan had already taken out his phone. He proceeded to dial Victoria's number, but no one answered."Could it be tha
