“Chairman, weve already obtained ownership of the Brilliance Corporation,” Flynn Davis reported respectfully over the phone.

Lucas assented nonchalantly, not bothered by it because it was within his plan.

“Let me ask you, where can I buy a diamond ring and good quality jewelry in Orange County” he suddenly asked.

“Uh… There are many gold stores that you can buy jewelry from, but theres going to be an auction in the Central Art Gallery in the east of the city tonight.

I heard that lots of precious jewelry are going to be put up for auction, and the finale piece is an extremely rare diamond ring,” Davis hurriedly answered.

“Okay, I know.”

Tonight, Lucas arrived at the entrance of the Central Art Gallery.

After he took two steps, a middle-aged man hurried toward him.

“Welcome, Mr.

Gray,” the middle-aged man said warmly with a smile.

Lucas raised his brows and looked at the middle-aged man.

He was Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County.

Although Lucas had a feud with the Huttons, Ethan Sawyer was very interesting, and he greeted Lucas in a friendly manner right from the start.

He even gave Cheyennes family a large amount of expensive betrothal gifts on Lucass behalf.

However, the Carters mistook that the gifts were for Charlotte, and many other misunderstandings arose.

“Mr.

Gray, my family happens to be the host of the auction tonight.

Ill take you inside.

If we use this passage, no one will notice us.”

Sawyer was smart enough to take Lucas through a secret passage to the private room on the second floor of the auction venue because he knew that Lucas wasnt willing to reveal his identity.

The private room was well hidden and offered a good view that would allow the auction items to be seen clearly.

Sawyer handed Lucas an exquisite booklet.

“Mr.

Gray, this is the catalog of items that will be up for auction tonight.

Actually, if you see anything that you like, well just deliver them to you.”

Lucas glanced at Sawyer with a half-hearted smile.

“Do you think Im short of money”

Sawyer froze.

He was too eager to form friendly ties with Lucas, but he forgot that Lucas was known as theGod of War and had power and wealth far beyond his own.

“I wont bother you then.

I hope you enjoy your night.

Call me if you need anything.

Ill be in the private room right next to this one.” Sawyer excused himself tactfully.

Soon, the auction officially started.

Lucas did not stand on ceremony and bid on any item that he liked at a high price.

Those who wanted to vie with him were defeated by Lucass wealth and generosity.

Even the last few pieces of extremely valuable jewelry and the large pink diamond ring, the finale piece, were bought by Lucas at a staggering price.

Even Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County, sitting in the private room beside Lucass, couldnt help but inhale in awe, let alone the others who participated in this auction.

Everyone was discussing who the tycoon who had spent tens of millions of dollars at the auction was.

Unfortunately, Sawyer had already taken care of everything, so no one could find out the real identity of this mysterious tycoon.

Although they didnt know the identity of the tycoon, that didnt stop them from spreading the word about the sensational event at the auction tonight.

Soon, some wealthy families found out that a megarich tycoon appeared at the auction tonight and spent tens of millions of dollars in the blink of an eye.

Hes so wealthy! The rich have the right to do whatever they want.

He spent so much on jewelry.

Im so envious!

At this moment, Lucas was giving Davis a task.

“Help me throw a banquet in your name five days from now.

Invite all the families in Orange County that are well-to-do.

Make sure the guests are served well and raise the standards of hospitality to the maximum.

Remember to invite the Carters too.”

Davis hurriedly noted it down.

“Yes, Chairman!”

During the next few days, Davis was busy with running the Stardust Corporation and preparing for the banquet, while Lucas concentrated on looking after Cheyenne, who had not recovered from her illness yet.

He also spent time nurturing his relationship with his precious daughter, Amelia.

Apart from Karens occasional mockery, life was rather peaceful.

Bryce, who had been clamoring about kicking Cheyenne out immediately, was overwrought with the matters that cropped up all of a sudden and didnt have time to go to Cheyennes home to chase her and her family away.

“Grandpa, the people of the Unity Corporation just called to say that theyre terminating their cooperation with us.

Theyre the tenth company that wants to terminate cooperation with us over the past few days.

What should we do” Bryce asked Dominic anxiously.

Since the Carters breached the contract with the Stardust Corporation a few days ago and compensated it with the Brilliance Corporation and three million dollars in cash, the Carters became the laughing stock of Orange County.

Their status had also plunged significantly, and to make matters worse, they had offended the Stardust Corporation.

Thus, many of their former business partners decided to cease their cooperation with the Carters.

“This is exasperating.

Theyre all just a bunch of fence-sitters and cowards! The Unity Corporation used to be worse than the Carters, and they sucked up to us to obtain the cooperation with us, yet theyre dumping us now!” The more Bryce thought about it, the angrier he got.

His friends had been treating him and looking at him differently lately.

Some of them even gave him the cold shoulder and mocked him sarcastically.

He would never be able to stand this!

“Enough.

People will always look up to those who are more powerful and despise those who are below them.

Thats just how the world is.

Whats there to be angry about” Dominic looked at Bryce and sighed.

“The most important thing now is to restore our reputation and make up for the losses that we have incurred.”

“At the end of the day, its all the Stardust Corporations fault.

If we can find a bigger backer than the Stardust Corporation…” At this point, Bryces eyes suddenly lit up.

“Grandpa, I have an idea! Do you remember the mega tycoon at the auction a few days ago I heard that he spent tens of millions at the auction, and someone vaguely saw Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County, accompanying him.

He must be a figure of status! If we can form ties with him, our difficulties will definitely be solved!”

Dominic Carter nodded and smiled approvingly.

“Yes, not bad! As long as we can get in touch with him, everything will be fine! Bryce, Ill leave this matter to you.

Make sure you find a way to get close to this person!”

“Yes, Grandpa.

Ill get someone to find out more.

We must get him to stand on our side.

Once we do, the Stardust Corporation will be nothing!”

Bryce stopped panicking and raised his head with vigor and confidence, as if he had already seen himself having the support of the powerful figure and was above everyone else in the Stardust Corporation.
