"do you think I'm short of money?"
Thomas freezes.
He was too eager to strike up a friendly relationship with Reaven, but he forgot that Reaven was the one who was tipped off as the successor to the Andares by Charles, meaning that Reaven had wealth far beyond his own.
Thomas does not yet know Reaven's true status.
"Then I won't bother you. Hope you enjoy your evening. Call me if you need anything. I'll be in the private room over there." Thomas excused himself wisely.
Soon, the official auction began.
Reaven did not take part in the initial auction, only the last few items of great value that he bought in the auction, certainly at a fantastic price.
And his last item which was a rare diamond ring was instantly bid at a high price.
Even Thomas Rembrant, the richest man in Lemon County, who was sitting in a private room beside Reven's room, would inevitably be amazed, let alone the other people participating in this auction.
Everyone was talking about who had spent tens of millions of dollars at the auction. Unfortunately, the Rembrand family had already taken care of everything, so no one could figure out the real identity of this mysterious person.
Rumors of a new conglomerate spending tens of millions of dollars to buy jewelry at auction soon spread among the upper classes.
Although they did not know the identity of that person, it did not stop them from spreading the news about the sensational event at the auction tonight.
Many people tried to find information about him, but nothing worked.
The person currently sitting in the HopeShine.Co CEO's room reading some documents without thinking about it.
"Help me to have a banquet on your behalf this weekend. Invite all the upper-class families in Lemon County. Make sure guests are well served and raise the standard of hospitality to the maximum." Reaven suddenly said to david.
"Y-yes sir.." David was a little surprised.
"hm... Just invite. No special treatment is required for them."
David hurriedly noted it, "well sir, for his agenda..?"
Reaven smiled as he closed his eyes and leaned over in his chair, "i would propose to my wife.."
David heard it inevitably frowned confused, he scratched his head that did not itch, are you not husband and wife?
Over the next few days, David is busy running HopeShine Corporation and preparing for the party, while Reaven as usual takes care of Miya. She also spends time accompanying and mending her relationship with her daughter, Layla. Apart from Karen's occasional scolding, life feels peaceful.
Elsewhere, Brandon has repeatedly said to immediately expel Miya and her family, overwhelmed by the sudden problems that arise and has no time to go to Miya's house to evict her and her family.
"Grandfather, the people from Xanex company just called, they asked to stop our cooperation, they are the umpteenth company that broke the contract with us." sounded anxiety at Brandon's tone.
Since they broke their contract with HopeShine a few days ago and lost Smart.Co. As well as having to add a few million dollars, their family became the subject of ridicule and laughter in Lemon County.
Their status has also plummeted significantly, and worse, they have offended HopeShine.Co. Therefore, many of their business partners decided to stop their cooperation.
"it's annoying, most of them used to be worse than the Archers, and they begged us to cooperate, but now, dump us! not too shameless! Brandon was frustrated. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Her friends have been treating her and looking at her differently lately. Some of them even gave him a cold demeanor and ridiculed him sarcastically.
Flint sighed, "Enough . People will always look down on those below. That's how the world is. There's no point in getting angry." Flint rubbed his face harshly. "the most important thing right now is to restore our reputation and make up for the losses we've experienced."
Tok tok!!
"excuse me sir, there's an invitation for the Archers" a staff member came in and handed the invitation to Flint and Brandon.
The invitation looks fancy.
