CHAPTER 218
Chapter 218: A dance
*70 million dollars?” The MC laughed. “The president and the ex–president are not ready to let it off for each other. And it’s starting to look very interesting. But to make it look even more interesting, whoever wins will be the first to dance. There will be a chance to look around the hall and dance with whoever
they choose to dance with,” he announced.
At the announcement, Alex’s ears went even wider as he stared over at Caramel.
Then, a man went up to the stage and whispered some words into the MC’s ears before he walked down again.
“Wow! Nice!” The MC laughed again. “I was just informed of something. To make it even more interesting. the winner can allow anyone to do the dance. And the video would be displayed all over the internet!” He expressed.
“This is even becoming very interesting. And Aphrodite isn’t even around,” Gregory joked.
Grey didn’t answer and instead looked over at Caramel. If there was something he wanted to do, it was to dance with her and he was going to do it.
“Dad, you are winning this game of power and wealth because there’s someone in here that I must dance with,” Alex uttered and looked at Giovanni.
‘Who?” Hattie asked, shocked.
Alex frowned. “You will see in no time. Anyways, I will be adding to your money. We must win this game at all costs.”
Hattie smiled. Do you think your father isn’t capable of handling Grey“”
Alex looked at Hattie. “Grey? Who’s Grey?”
Hattie regarded Alex for a moment, then looked over at Giovanni. “You didn’t tell him?”
Alex searched their faces. “Tell me what?”
Giovanni waved it off. “We will discuss it later, after this party. Let’s focus on this for now.”
Alex nodded and looked over at Caramel again.
*100 million dollars!” Giovanni voiced out.
It seems like Giovanni is so geared up. He would stop at nothing to win,” Charles uttered. He arrived a few minutes later after he saw that Aphrodite was safely on the plane.
*150 million dollars,” Grey said quickly before the MC would say something
Murmurs filled the air and the reporters were already Inside, taking pictures low–key. They knew that the bouncers would lead them out if they made mistakes.
*150 million dollars for Hercules. It’s going, any opposition?” The MC smiled.
There was hesitation. “500 million dollars!”
Everyone whooped, slightly praising Giovanni already.
“I think you need to let it go now. It looks like Giovanni is bent on winning,” Giovanni noted.
“Well, Grey has the money to proceed,” Alfred stated. He’s so bent on letting Grey win.
“I know but 500 million dollars is just too much,” Charles complained.” What do we do?”
*1.5 billion dollars!” Grey announced suddenly
There was soft gasp from the audience. Even the elders were shocked
It was at that time that Giovanni realized that Grey meant business He couldn’t proceed
“Grey is not going to let go I think you should stop,” Hattie advised
“Do you think Hercules has such huge money to dash out? It’s definitely going to take turns on him, Alex complained
“Well, we can only find out later. But for now, Grey will have to win. You can’t afford to give out more money,” Hattie explained.
Giovanni felt a surge of anger as he stared at Grey and eventually decided to let go. There was nothing he could do anyways and according to what Alex had said, the money would affect Grey That was enough for him.
* 1.5 billion dollars for Hercules, any opposition? The MC inquired and Giovanni shook his head The MC smiled. “Hercules won the game!” He declared
Music blared from the speakers all around in response to what the MC had said
Grey nodded briefly, feeling pleased with himself The reporters moved closer to take a shot as murmurs filled the air around them.
Some men moved closer to take the microphone
“So, the Givenchy Royal Hanover German Silver eight light chandelier goes to Hercules! And the second prize will go as planned. I will encourage all the sexy and beautiful ladies in the house to step forward and give Hercules the chance to select the one he would dance with, he informed
“Wow! I love this! Sincerely!” Luciano exclaimed softly.
“I love this. This should tell Giovanni that Grey isn’t his match, Alfred expressed
Within minutes, there was an adjustment as ladies stepped forward Everyone silently praying Grey should take them. It would be a pleasure dancing with one of the wealthiest men in the city. Perhaps, he would even go out with them if he found them beautiful,
But Caramel, didn’t step forward because she wasn’t even in the mood of competing with others as to who Hercules would go for. So, she stood where she was, while watching the drama unfold
“It’s now time! Hercules would move around the ladies and select his preference for the dance!” He announced and the light fell on Grey.
“Why do I feel like Grey already has who he wants to go for?” Jayden observed.
Gregory looked at Caramel and then back at Grey. “I think I know.” owns all content.
Grey stepped away from them and moved towards the ladies. The first lady he saw was Chloe. Well, he didn’t expect to see her at the gathering and quickly wondered if Avery was around as well.
Even if she was, she had too much pride to step forward. Same as Caramel because she was already standing afar.
Grey didn’t even need to stress himself about moving around and checking the ladies when he knew who
he wanted.
If Caramel wouldn’t step forward, Grey would go to her.
Grey regarded her for a moment before he stepped forward.
“It looks like someone eventually caught Hercules‘ fancy and guess what? She’s not among the ladies standing in the light,” The MC revealed.
Grey stopped in front of Caramel. Seeing him, Caramel’s mouth opened in agape. She hadn’t expected Hercules to come to her, not even when she was not stepping out in the light.
Grey didn’t talk and instead stretched out his hand to Caramel.
Caramel watched Grey for a moment and a flash of something flickered across her face. Maybe she was going to reject him.
