Astor, her ‘father’ was on official work. Asher was on some military camp Mr. Astor forced him to go, while Aston didn’t live in the Astor family Mansion but in his penthouse. He only came here on special occasions and the ‘step-mother’ outright avoided me which I am pretty sure was her way of showing me that she didn’t give a f*ck. Today Mr. Astor was returning from his official trip and everyone was supposed to be at the table because they were going to witness Serena’s ‘marriage edict’ which was going to be passed today.

"Exactly. She remains humble even after winning the project. She has a likable personality. I thought she was mean to wrangle the opportunity from the Beckett Group, but I've changed my mind!"

The blood ruby before them shimmered entirely in gold, dazzling the eyes of all present! In an instant, the entire venue descended into madness!

The second time, it was auctioned off at a prestigious international auction for an astonishing thirty billion!

But before a reaction could take place, the elevator doors dinged open behind Natalia. "Rodriguez! Happy to see you!" A charming man with a funny accent boomed as he sashayed in with his mean-looking guards. And under seconds, the inhumane Mafia Don returned. Not that he was far away anyway. Natalia let out a silent breath after almost finding out the effect of her provocation. "I don't remember sending for you, Harvey." Leonardo stated coldly. The man breezed over, ignoring his cold shoulders. The 'Harvey' called Leonardo Rodriguez because he, just like him, was a descendant of Lord Grantino Rodriguez. The co-founder of Astheria.
