Dumped Family Taken The President

Chapter 8

There was no emotion on his face when he asked the question but because of his prestigious status, his presence alone was already suppressing and revered.

 

Anggi regulated his breathing and forced a smile on his face.

 

“What do I remember? As far as I can remember, Mr. Leon and I are not even acquaintances. I just don't want you to be misunderstood by those girls.”

 

Leon did not answer. He just looked at her.

 

The air became quiet.

 

Anggi flickered nervously as Leon walked over to him. He could even feel Leon's breath pressing down.

 

"Do you think I'm handsome?" Leon suddenly asked.

 

His voice sounded softer.

 

"I think that's a fact that's been widely acknowledged?" Anggi.

 

Leon laughs. The way he laughs can captivate the hearts of all the girls in the world, but it makes Anggi scared.

 

She then heard her charming voice say, "No, only you acknowledge that fact."

 

The conversation in the park became so awkward that it became silent.

 

It was then that a sharp scream came from inside the hall.

 

Anggi. He had a feeling that something had happened.

 

He stepped in quickly.

 

Mr. Leon notices her coming in and decides to follow her inside.

 

In the hall, Anggi saw his daughter Melisa arrived already inside, she stood in the middle and surrounded by people.

 

As Anggi stepped closer, Melisa looked at him with complaint.

 

Anggi had already wondered what had made Melisa so long in the ladies' toilet and now it seemed like she had gone out on her own.

 

He looked around and saw Octavia, Andre's mother who also attracted attention.

 

Octavia hugged her falling dress and she screamed in panic.

 

Someone had stepped on her dress and caused the dress to slip away from her. Even his brain that swallowed*jang was seen, humiliating him in front of everyone.

 

"What's wrong?" Damian came in a hurry.

 

“J_******this accidentally stepped on my shirt! He did it on purpose!” Octavia was driven mad by embarrassment because she could barely calm herself down.

 

Damian glanced at Andre.

 

Andre immediately took off his suit and covered up his mother's embarrassment.

 

“No, I didn't do it on purpose. I came out of the ladies' room and wanted to find my mother. I accidentally met Grandma, ”Show explained with teary eyes and a plain look.

 

“Grandma, I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry."

 

He even politely bowed to express his apology.

 

Octavia would never let go of the boy with just an apology. He pointed towards Melisa and shouted, “You ***** that is not educated! Someone send him out immediately!”

 

“I want to know who is less educated. Mrs Sebastian, you or my son?” anggi.

 

The emotions in his voice sounded flat but frightening.

 

Everyone was shocked by Anggi's reaction.

 

Anggi stepped up bravely and faced Octavia. “My daughter said she didn't do it on purpose and she already apologized. As a parent, should you be this calculative with girls?”

 

"YOU!"

 

“In addition, this is a party for the high society and all the women here know how to keep their temperament and ethics. As an elder, mistress Sebastian you should not allow a child to step on your dress. Are you careless or is my son naughty?"

 

"ORANGE!" Octavia yelled. "You're not even married to my son yet and you're already this arrogant ?!"

 

“You mean when I marry your son, I can be even more arrogant? Like you?"

 

"YOU!"

 

“Let's take a step back and see things. I'm your son's fiancee and as my son's future grandmother, you should be tolerant of girls and not insult them in public. Mrs Sebastian, if you react like this, can I say that you never planned to accept me and my daughter into your family?" Anggi asked.

 

He sounded flat throughout the confrontation, yet his words were suppressing.

 

Octavia is silenced and Damian publicly humiliated.

 

Octavia's condition was already embarrassing, but Anggi criticized his wife in public for overreacting. His silent wife's complaint embarrassed his entire family.

 

Damian reacted bitterly to the criticism. He shouted at Andre, "Stop embarrassing yourself here, take your mother away!"

 

Andre glared at Anggi before helping his mother leave.

 

Sadly, Octavia's eyes glazed over but she couldn't do anything about it. He just followed his son away from the crowd.

 

Damian glared at Anggi but he barely reacted. Anthonio quickly stepped up and said, “Damian, this is just a misunderstanding. He's kids and kids tend to be sloppy. Let's calm down and try not to make things worse for both families.”

 

Countless eyes stared at Damian and he was forced to put aside his grievances and embarrassment. “Indeed it was a misunderstanding. We were almost half a century old and we were having a fight with a five-year-old. It'd be a big joke if this came out."

 

The crowd agreed.

 

High society is a place of hypocrisy. Deep down, the crowd was only there to watch and enjoy the misfortune of people, he said, but they have to make themselves look as if they are there to ease the situation or solve the problem.

 

The small commotion faded after a while.

 

Anggi brought Melisa aside.

 

And that was when Willona came, stepped over and called out to her loudly, "Fig!"

 

Anggi saw his friend in a black dress that showed off his sexiness.

 

Willona is pretty. She is an expert in makeup and is always fashionable.

 

His slender arms encircled the arms of a man, who was wearing a gray suit.

 

The man wears glasses that accentuate his politeness.

 

"He's my husband, Finn jones." Willona introduces her husband to Anggi when she sees his friend looking at her.

 

Finn blinked and stretched out his hand to shake. "Hey. Willona's always talking about you. You are prettier than we talked about.”

 

"It's nice to meet you" said Anggi and shook his hand but kept his distance from the man.

 

Finn pulled his hand back and said politely, “Excuse me. I think I saw my friend there."

 

Willona let go of her husband and saw him off.

 

Anggi glanced at him and noticed that he was walking towards Mr. Leon.

 

Finn was a lawyer and became a personal legal advisor to the Smith family, so he became close to Leon.

 

*****

 

 

The lights in the hall dimmed and a man climbed onto the stage with the spotlights on him.

 

"Good night, ladies and gentlemen! I hereby thank and welcome you at the annual Grade A City.” party

 

All guests automatically gathered around the stage as the event began.

 

After a brief introduction, the host as well as the auctioneer started the main event that night's auction—.

 

The guests on the show were all rich and famous, so regardless of the item or its value, every bargained item would find its new owner tonight.

 

Item after item is bid and won.

 

When the event reached ******, the host said, “Last, let's welcome our valuables for tonight — Very rare diamond stones. It has been around for 50 years and still shines brightly to this day. It had appeared in many auctions overseas and after many occurrences, it ended up here at the event tonight.

 

“A kind-hearted man, who did not want to be named, gave this diamond to us and the starting price was 5 billion! And every offer is worth 500 million rupiahs!"

 

The man hit the hammer.

 

"5 billion 700 million rupiahs!"

 

"5 billion 900 million rupiahs!"

 

"6 billion rupiah!"

 

"6 billion 500 million rupiahs!" A voice from the darkness suddenly raised its price.

 

Anggi doesn't care but Willona is curious. He turned to the voice and said, "I think it's Edward."

 

Jeanna remained silent.

 

Willona added, "I heard that she was trying to get the diamond for Sandra as a wedding gift."

 

Anggi surprised. "How do you know?"

 

Willona clicked her tongue in disdain. “You have no idea how arrogant your stepbrother is. Ever since they set their wedding date, she had been showing off to everyone she met."

 

“Everything Edward did for him was a story he could be proud of to his friends. The upper class society of Grade A City was not big, of course, everyone heard it."

 

Anggi. He then raised his hand and said, "7 billion rupiahs!"

 

Willona. In fact, not only him but everyone in that place turned to Anggi in disbelief.

 

The hall lighting is dim, not completely dark. They could see Anggi bid the price with his hands raised. Edward reacted bitterly to the offer. Sandra looked even more grim on her face.

 

'What did that woman do?!'

 

Edward's voice rang out again, "8 billion."

 

"8 billion 200 million." Anggi keeps raising prices.

 

“8 billion 500 million.”

 

“8 billion 800 million.”

 

The gloom on Edward's face was obvious. He turned to Anggi and glared at him.

 

Anggi received many questioning gazes but he did not care.

 

Willona, on the other hand, became nervous.

 

Anggi excited as always! He would never be able to be dropped so easily!

 

Willona who was beside him even began to consider throwing all his money in support of Anggi if Anggi really ran out of money.

 

The thought of Edward losing the offer and the angry look at Sandra made Willona adrenaline rush.

 

"9 billion!" Edward squeezed the price out of his gritted teeth.

 

“9 billion 200 million!” anggi.

 

'Jeez.' Willona started counting how much money was in her wallet.

 

Willona thought about her father. He even began to think of a way to persuade his father to lend him money. She had no hope in her husband who only had a small salary every year.

 

If he acted hard enough or shed tears, he might be able to get a few hundred million from his father, perhaps.

 

He took a deep breath.

 

The hall became quiet. No one raised the price after Anggi 5 billion 200 million.

 

Willona whispered in Anggi's ear, "How much money do you have?"

 

“Not a single rupiah.”

 

Willona widened her eyes in surprise. He started rubbing his hands anxiously.

 

9 Billion 200 million is an impossible number even for him. He began to wonder if his father would beat him to death after asking for money.

 

“9 billion 200 million no more?."

 

“9 billion 200 million..” The host is heard twice calling him.

 

"9…"

 

"9 billion 500 million!" Edward shouted his final offer.

Willona's heart was pounding.

 

He glanced at Anggi and he was very confident Anggi would raise the price again.

 

Anggi, however, remained calm and there was not the slightest hint of emotion on his face.

 

Willona carefully asked, "Are you going to raise the price again?"

 

"No. I have no money, ” said Anggi.

 

Willona breathed a sigh of relief. "Geez, if you don't have money, why are you raising the price?"

 

The host on stage began counting down after Edward's offer.

 

“One...”

 

The hall became quiet.

 

Edward glared at Anggi as if he was waiting for a challenge.

 

Anggi felt it too but he was not worried.

 

He didn't raise the price because he wanted the piece of stone. He just wants to waste people's money.

 

“Two..”.

 

The hall remained silent.

 

"Ti…"

 

“15 billion!”
