Chapter 100
The Gaskelly‘ stock plummeted, and their losses were in the billions. If this continued, they would soon hit rock bottom.
Qenie gritted her teeth and stomped her foot before reluctantly agreeing to the deal. After obtaining Raven’s contact information, she sent a friend request and breathed a sigh
of relief.

Queenie was grateful that this ordeal was going to end soon.. Hera who was the boss.
Hera had left Queenie’s friend request pending for two days. After Piglet’s umpteenth reminder, she finally accepted it.
Saturday had arrived, and that night was the Astral Nova Anction.
queenie messaged Raven
“You’ve finally accepted my friend request. Let’s meet up and talk face–to–face.”
She added a smiley face with a bead of sweat on its forehead. Her emoji possibly hinted at her annoyance at being ignored for two days but still conveyed her willingness to
cooperate.
Herachuckled and replied using Raven’s account.
“Send me the task requirements. I’ll review them and get back to you with the price and account details.”
After sending the message, she switched accounts and found Bemard’s WhatsApp messages. Their last exchange was two weeks ago. She debated whether to tell him about the auction. But every attempt to compose a message felt oft. She grew frustrated and tossed her phone aside.
She initially wanted to set clear boundaries. Yet, she didn’t understand why she feeling strangely reluctant. She wondered why she should care when Beard himself didn’t even seem concerned about his own well–being.
The neglected phone buzzed with an incoming call. Hera quickly picked it up, expecting it to be Bernard. But her heart sank when she saw Samantha’s name flash on instead Despite the initial disappointment, she answered the call promptly.
“Heca, I’m back in town! I’ve been busy lately and hardly had time to catch up. How’s eat the Everetts“?”
A soft and melodic female voice came through the phone. It was Samantha Steele on the other end. She was an international movie star and Hera’s close friend.
They had met on an international flight when Samantha was suffering from severe menstrual cramps.
Hera, who was seated beside her, adeptly applied a few acupuncture needles and eased Samantha’s discomfort.
Samantha was so grateful that she insisted on getting Hera’s contact number and treated her like a guardian angel.
Hera replied, “I’m fine”
“Really? I just learned about the Everetts scandal and how
