Chapter 100 A bet is a bet. A kiss After Five Years
Owen Sanchez and Mr. Brain exchanged glances. Phyllis WAS still alive, and the fact that they could
help was great news for them.
It was just…
Ladies Star Grass?
What was that?
Owen Sanchez, who did not know medicine, had heard the name for the first time and asked Mr. Brain,
“Mr. Brain, do they have that?”
“Maybe.”
Mr. Brain nodded, not sure. “I only saw that invitation once before. There are more than twenty
precious items for sale. The name Ladies Star Grass seems to have struck me.”
“That’s good! That’s great!”
Owen Sanchez exulted, “I need you to call and have that invitation sent over right now!”
“Okay!”
Without hesitation, Mr. Brain turned around and took out his cell phone to make a call.
Owen Sanchez turned to Sean and Cecilia and said with a smile, “You are well informed, Mr. Mason.”
“To tell you the truth, although the Sanchez Group is worth over 10 billion and barely qualified for the
auction, I had never been invited by the organizer once before.”
“This time is also a coincidence. I have developed some business and have contacts in the Crane
Town, and received the invitation letter for the first time only two days ago after being recommended by
others.”
“Mr. Brain has called and had the invitation sent over. If you want it, Mr. Mason, you can have it. I heard
that according to the rules set by the host, as long as the person invited agrees to go through the
relevant procedures, the invitation can be re-donated.”
If you wanted it, you could take it!
From Owen Sanchez’s tone, he wasn’t lending it to Sean, he gave it to him!
For free!
He sent the invitation to Sean for nothing without any conditions or requirements!
This finally put Cecilia’ heart at rest.
At the same time, she was shocked!
She was shocked by Owen Sanchez’s treatment of Sean. It was weird. It was unbelievable! He was the
richest man in Hilshire, worth $10 billion. But in front of Sean, he was overly polite. Even when Sean
was sarcastic, Owen Sanchez kept smiling and pandering to Sean.
If someone who didn’t know Owen Sanchez’s identity saw them, he would think he was working for
Sean.
Cecilia looked at Sean and was deeply touched. The man who had burst into her life seemed a great
mystery. He was hard to see through and hard to guess, but he always brought unexpected surprises
to her from time to time.
Was this the prince charming of legend?
Unconsciously, Cecilia’s curiosity about Sean became stronger and stronger. She blushed at the
thought.
Owen Sanchez offered Sean the invitation. Did that mean she lost the bet with Sean?
And she needed to give Sean a kiss?
On the lips?
At the thought of this, her heart which had just landed immediately hung up again, and she was very
nervous. After all, though she had had a baby and a daughter five years earlier, she didn’t remember
anything. She had never been touched by a man before.
She had never been kissed on the cheek, let alone on the lips?
Sean noticed Cecilia’s funny flushed face and knew what she was thinking. He smiled and ignored it,
turning to Owen Sanchez, “I also heard that the starting price of all the lots at the auction was over
$500 million?”
“Yes, 500 million is the minimum…”
Owen Sanchez nodded. He was in the middle of a sentence when he realized the overtones of Sean’s
words. Then he changed his tone and said generously, “You don’t have to worry about the money, Mr.
Mason.”
“I’ll go with Mr. Mason. You bid, and when the deal is done, I’ll pay.”|
It made Owen Sanchez, even the richest man in Hilshire, feel bad.
That was too much!
500 million was just the starting price! It was a multi-party auction. The people attending the auction
were all from the top rich families and rich businessmen all around the world. If someone else also
wanted Ladies Star Grass, and if they tried their best to raise the price, his $10 billion would not be
fucking enough.
In fact, he could have bankrupted the Sanchez Group over an herb he’d never even heard of!
But there was no choice. This was a crime, a debt, created by Luis Sanchez.
He needed to pay for him.
He had to!
Cecilia was taken aback by Owen Sanchez’s words. She shook her head at once, recovering from her
wild thoughts, “No! No way!”
“Mr. Sanchez, you’re willing to let us have the invitation to the auction, and we are very grateful, how
can we expect you to pay?”
“How about this?”
Cecelia thought about it and said, “Those auction items are sky-high. Mr. Sanchez, you know Sean and
I can’t afford that kind of money right now. If there is any need at that time, please help to pay for us
and think of it as something we owe you. When Phyllis is cured, we will work hard to pay you back as
soon as possible…”
No gains without pains.
How could Cecilia say yes so easily to hundreds of millions of dollars?
Sean bought two Mulsanne in a row the day before and yesterday. With nearly a million dollars’ worth
of clothes, it was about $13 million. He looked like he was a billionaire, but compared to the hundreds
of millions, $13 million was a drop in the bucket.
So, she instinctively thought Sean couldn’t possibly have that much money either.
They had no choice but to borrow.
Owen Sanchez’s willingness to lend them money was unexpected and grateful to her. Was she going
to ask for his money for free just like the invitation? She could not be so shameless, nor repay so great
a kindness!
“Well…”
Owen Sanchez took a second look at Cecilia and was stunned, thinking, “Mr. Mason has a good eye,
and Miss Moore is such a considerate girl.”
However, just because Cecilia said no didn’t mean Sean would say no.
Owen Sanchez steeled himself when Sean was silent and his face was cold, “Miss Moore, you don’t
know about it. But the money for Ladies Star Grass, it’s not that I’m giving it to you, or lending it to you,
it’s…”
“I owe it to Mr. Mason.”
Yeah! He owed it to him!
Owen Sanchez owed Sean a life! The life of Luis Sanchez! And now, the only reason he was willing to
give them so much money was to get Luis Sanchez’s life back and beg Sean’s forgiveness!
“You owe him?”
Cecilia was completely stunned. She looked at Sean, then at Owen Sanchez, then she asked
unconsciously, “How much money do you owe him, Mr. Sanchez?”
Owen Sanchez said awkwardly, “I owe Mr. Mason more than I can put a price on. If Mr. Mason wants, I
can give Mr. Mason all the assets, including the Sanchez Group, in a lump sum at any time.”
Boom!
Owen Sanchez's words hit Cecilia like a thunder from the sky. In a flash, Cecilia’s mind went blank as
she was torn apart.
She could hardly believe her ears.
If Owen Sanchez were to go on talking like this, Cecilia would probably be scared to death. Sean
heaved a deep sigh and finally spoke, “If this goes well and we get Ladies Star Grass back and save
my daughter, our debt will be wiped clean.”
“Oh?”
Owen Sanchez’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, “Thank you, Mr. Mason. Thank you!” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
He could have given Sean a bow.
Throughout Phyllis’s abduction, Luis Sanchez, on the orders of the Mason family, had Phyllis abducted
and handed over to Reid, playing the role of lackey rather than mastermind.
Even without Luis Sanchez, with Reid’s abilities, it would have been easy for him to kidnap Phyllis while
Sean was unsuspecting.
So!
As analyzed by Mr. Brain and Owen Sanchez previously, Sean killed a lot pf people in a fit of rage, but
he was not a killer by any means. When he calmed down, he was very reasonable.
Otherwise, Owen Sanchez and Mr. Brain would have died in the Sanchez Villa last night!
By taking back the Ladies Star Grass, Phyllis would not only wake up, but also be blessed with the
opportunity to activate the corporeity and the bloodline, allowing her to undergo a complete
transformation, which was the main reason Sean was willing to wipe the slate clean.
However, if he couldn’t get Ladies Star Grass back and save Phyllis, Luis Sanchez would still die!
Sean would still kill the whole Sanchez family!
After about 20 minutes, a gray van roared to the gate of the city hospital. From the van emerged
several black-clad bodyguards from the Sanchez family, who strode over to Owen Sanchez and
handed him a colored card.
It was the invitation to the Crane Town’s auction!
Owen Sanchez immediately handed Sean the invitation and said, “Please have a look, Mr. Mason.”
Sean took the invitation and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, it said the items for sale at the auction.
The idea was that if there was something on it that the wealthy tycoons who received the invitations
wanted, they could go, and if not, they could transfer it to someone in need.
But the premise was that the value of the person transferred could not be less than 10 billion.
This number was a hard and fast rule. After all, if someone worth less than $10 billion did go, they
wouldn’t be able to compete and would drag down the auction.
Sean quickly found the words “Ladies Star Grass"” in a catalogue of more than twenty precious
objects. His pupils darted in a deep sigh of relief.
As long as there was, that was fine!
Owen Sanchez asked, “Mr. Mason, when are you leaving for the Crane Town?”
“This afternoon.”
“Okay, I’ll have it arranged as soon as I get back.”
Sean nodded and said curiously, “Who is the sponsor of this auction?”
To hold such a huge underground auction, bringing together billions of people from all over the world,
the auction organizers were no ordinary people. In Sean’s opinion, even the Mason family of the
Capital City didn’t have that kind of power.
“I don’t know.”
Just as Sean had predicted, Owen Sanchez smiled awkwardly and shook his head, “This is also the
first time for me to receive the invitation. I have never attended the event before. I don’t know anything
about the organizers.”
“Okay.”
Sean nodded, “You can leave now.”
Now that Owen Sanchez didn’t know, maybe the Campbell family of the Crane Town knew something.
After going to the Crane Town, Sean decided to visit the Campbell Family.
After Owen Sanchez and Mr. Brain left, Cecilia still couldn’t get over the shock. Looking at the colorful
invitation in Sean’s hand, she hesitated and finally asked, “Sean, you…”
“Who the hell are you?”
She was so curious!
Since Sean showed up at the engagement ceremony at Emperor Hotel the day before yesterday,
almost everything Sean did shocked her and made her feel incredible.
“Does it matter?” Sean asked.
Cecelia snorted, “If this doesn’t matter, what does?”
“Of course our bet is more important.”
Sean waved the invitation in front of Cecilia and laughed, “Now that you’ve lost, isn’t it time to fulfill your
promise?”
“I…”
For a moment, Cecilia blushed.
Sean quipped, “You're the beautiful president of the Moore Group. You’re not going to break your word,
are you?”
“Well, so what?”
This was the gate of the city hospital. In the morning, people went in and out of the hospital, and people
came and go by the roadside. Kissing? Were you kidding me? Ashamed and angry, Cecilia turned and
walked away!
She would never have done such a shameful thing, even if she had been accused of betraying her
debts and going back on her words!
Was she trying to get away?
It was a rare opportunity, and Sean wouldn’t miss it. Cecilia had just taken two steps when he grabbed
her arm and dragged her back. Cecilia exclaimed, trying to resist, but he had already pulled her into his
arms.
Cecilia raised her head and tried to speak out.
However, the moment she looked up, Sean looked down and kissed her.
The next moment their lips were locked together.
“…”
Cecilia’s eyes widened, her body shook violently, and she began to struggle violently unconsciously.
But the strange feeling between her lips and teeth that she had never felt before made her feel as if she
had been electrocuted. She could not help feeling numb and dizzy.
It had been five years since the last kiss!
Time seemed to be completely frozen in the moment!
Until, like, five seconds later…
“Stop it!”
A familiar voice came suddenly from the side of the road, frightened and hysterical. “What are you
doing?”
It was Marcia’s voice!
Marcia arrived at the city hospital in a police car just in time. When she stepped out of the police van
and saw Sean and Cecilia hugging and kissing on the street, she was absolutely blown away!
For Sean and Cecilia, her voice was like thunder the death knell from hell!
The tightly entangled lips parted in an instant. The bodies that were clasped together were instantly
torn apart!
Sean looked embarrassed and upset!
He kissed his wife and was caught by his mother-in-law! Damn it! How unlucky he was!
Damn it!
