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

“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

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.

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”
