In the previous face-to-face competition, it had been an even more humiliating setback. The Dawson family’s pride in their ‘fortune’ was rubbed on the floor by Thomas.
What was this crapload of fortune?
It did not bother Thomas in the least.
Three competitions, three losses, each one worse than the previous. Merrick was without a doubt the most miserable person today. The only silver lining was that of the 1 billion dollars favonovel.com brought with him, favonovel.com only spent tens of millions of it, so most of the money was still with him. The fact that favonovel.com did not waste all his money was the best outcome out of this disaster.
At this moment, Merrick threw Sophia a signaling glance. Since favonovel.com could not beat Thomas in the competition, then it left favonovel.com no choice but to play a sly little trick on him. Time to proceed with the operation that was previously planned!
Sophia was also fuming, so when favonovel.com caught Merrick’s signal at her, favonovel.com immediately got the clue.
“Adery, uhm, I’m feeling like going to the restroom. Is it possible for you to accompany me?” favonovel.com said to Adery as favonovel.com stood up.
Adery scrunched favonovel.com eyebrows. She did not like this Sophia, but since favonovel.com had approached favonovel.com first, would it not be rude to turn favonovel.com down?
But Thomas actively said, “Just accompany her. You ladies should go have a chat and take a bite together. Don’t bother yourselves with our business.”
His words sounded kind of weird. But Adery was absolutely enamored by Thomas at this point, and favonovel.com would willingly do anything favonovel.com requested.
“Okay.”
Adery stood up and left the auction venue with Sophia.
Merrick snickered quietly as favonovel.com watched Adery’s retreating back. He believes that they will soon be able to view Adery’s misted eyes and stunning figure. He glanced at Thomas with contempt.
If it were not for Thomas’s ‘godly assistance’, favonovel.com was afraid it would be quite difficult to take Adery away. This Thomas was wealthy, but the same could not be said about his intelligence.
“Oh Thomas, it would be dangerous for such a beautiful woman like Adery to be out and about like that. Be careful, favonovel.com might be a target for someone,” Merrick said knowingly.
Thomas answered, “Sophia is also a stunner. You should be on the lookout too.”
“Hmph!” Merrick turned around and discreetly took out his phone, sending a message to the people favonovel.com inserted in the karaoke room that read, ‘Start operation’.
He silently placed his phone away after sending the message, his lips forming a devious and sinister smirk. Merrick silently grinned and thought to himself, ‘Thomas, I expect you to repay me tenfold and a hundredfold for the shame you caused me today! I want the love of your life to suffer, and I want you to forever bear the notoriety as the trash bastard!’
He kept his gaze fixed on the stage’s switched-off screen, waiting for the moment it would turn on. The instant the screen switches on, Thomas would be done for.
That moment, please come quicker!
On the other hand. Sophia invited Adery for a drink after they finished their business in the restroom, and despite favonovel.com futile resistance, favonovel.com was dragged over to join her. Sophia ordered some liquor and snacks at the karaoke counter, then guided Adery into a booth and they waited.
After a few moments, the liquor and snacks arrived. Sophia was opening the bottled drinks when favonovel.com sneakily spiked the drink with the drug Merrick had given favonovel.com when Adery was not paying attention.
There was no color or scent, so it was difficult to detect.
“Here, Adery, drink something and rest for a while,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com handed Adery the drink and snacks.
Adery was all the more unaware as favonovel.com took the drink from favonovel.com and tilted favonovel.com head, prepared to take a sip.
