Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Chapter 26: Spending All the Wealth



Chapter 26: Spending All the Wealth

His fair skin was smooth and delicate, as if he had taken medicine. The gauze covering his privacy was bulging, and his frightened little face was in sharp contrast to the greedy faces of the guests.

The servant at the side raised the whip and cracked it on Val.

Val's face flushed and his body trembled violently. The red whip marks were faintly visible, stimulating the visual nerves of countless people.

The host lit a bonfire to heat up the thin chain that tied the lion, and the lion, which had been hungry for several days, struggled and pounced on Val not far away.

The roar was deafening, and Val huddled in a corner trying to minimize his presence.

"The starting price is 100 million, and the time limit is ten minutes. You must bid before the lion eats him."

The host knocked the hammer, and the whole audience was silent for a moment, and suddenly countless voices broke out.

"One hundred and ten million."

"One hundred and twenty million."

"One hundred and thirty-five million."

...

Unlike before, the venue was now bustling with people, and most people came for Val.

Before the banquet started, the organizer released the news that the finale performer prepared for everyone had been trained for several months.

He is omnipotent with all kinds of skills, and his body has been shaped to an extreme that ordinary people can't imagine.

“Three hundred million.” Just then, Evelin raised the sign, and the voice of the host on the second floor came from the microphone.

Everyone gasped in shock, considering the farce that the young master had just put on.

Many people were afraid of the power of the Lan family and withdrew from the auction for fear of becoming enemies with the Lan family.

"Three hundred and one."

Just as the host was about to strike the hammer, the young master jumped out again.

He imitated Evelyn and held up the sign playfully.

Little did he know that in the eyes of others, he was just a clown.

However, it was also because of his advancement that many people who saw Evelin holding up a sign raised their signs again.

They didn't want to give up in the first place, and since someone took the lead, they naturally had to follow.

"Four hundred and fifty million."

When the price reached 340 million, Evelyn raised her card again.

Even though I have heard of it before, Evelyn's bids are always shocking.

It turns out that the Lan family’s strength is not exaggerated. It’s like a piece of cake to spend four hundred million.

"Four hundred and sixty million." A pot-bellied Mediterranean man in the first row on the first floor raised the sign again.

Over such a long period of time, he was itching to buy countless items, but he endured it all for the sake of this Val.

"Six hundred million." At this time, Vincent raised his sign.

Everyone was shocked. It seemed as if these people's money was just a number. It opened the eyes of so many wealthy nobles in the audience.

"Since the little princess likes it, I am willing to pay for it out of my own pocket."

Vincent spoke again, and his words silenced the whole audience.

Who could not understand what the head of the Si family said?

Val was determined to win. There were few people in the audience who could spend money with him.

It’s better to do a favor and quit directly.

Evelin frowned, she had no habit of letting others spend money.

However, she was somewhat unwilling to spend 600 million to buy a life and then come back to kill him.

So she was thinking, is it worth it?

"Seven hundred million." Garland held up the sign, and everyone seemed to faint when they saw it.

Evelin looked back in surprise.

"Of course I will pay for what my sister likes." Garland stared at Vincent who was standing opposite him.

A raging fire ignited again between the two men as they confronted each other.

"That's natural."

For some reason, Vincent did not compete with Garland anymore and just retreated from the battlefield.

Evelin raised her chin provocatively, staring at the young man downstairs.

"That's the difference between us."

She opened her lips and spoke every word. If he was not a fool, he would understand.

Seeing this, the young man left angrily like a stray dog.

Vincent was right. He spent all his wealth to buy a woman just for face.

He didn't know what would be waiting for him when he got home.

In the end, Val was bought by Garland for 700 million and given to Evelyn.

No one knew the secret, and from then on there was a rumor in the world that the little princess of the Lan family was very much in love with fair-skinned boys.

Several people did not attend the banquet hosted by the organizer, and left quickly after getting Val.

Ollie and Evelyn still had to prepare for the next day's mission, so they returned to the Joe Mansion first, while Val was taken away by Garland and never came back.

At noon the next day, Evelin appeared at the door of the hotel wearing a long straight black wig and a black business suit.

“Miss, please come in.” The waiter ushered Evelin in, opened the door to the private room, pretended to glance behind him casually, bowed, and left.

Evelin’s eyes flashed, and she paid attention for a moment, but in the end she just nodded and pretended to be unaware and walked into the room.

“Ollie, you’re too busy. You haven’t seen me for so long since I returned to China.” Evelin complained loudly as she entered the door, but her peripheral vision gestured to glance at the waiter at the door.

Upon seeing this, Oli immediately stuffed the photo hidden in his pocket back, stood up and hugged Evelin.

"My dear lady, I come to see you right away." After saying this, the waiter closed the door.

The moment the door closed, the two looked at each other, talking loudly about meaningless topics, but quickly checked everything in the room to see if there were any eavesdropping devices or surveillance cameras installed.

“You still say that I’m unhappy after so many days.” Evelin deliberately raised her voice as she approached the door to check the door handle.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. Let's order some food. Today's meal will be my apology to you." After Oli checked the bottom of the table, the two nodded and sat down.

“Humph.” The waiter outside the door heard Evelin’s answer, walked into the corner calmly and turned on the communicator in his collar.

"Ollie and Miss Qiao have met up, and there are no suspicions so far."

"Continue monitoring." After a while, a slightly hoarse voice came from the communicator.

"Yes." The waiter answered quickly, straightened his collar, looked around and found that there was no one, then went back to the door of the private room.

“I recently took on a new play, and I want you to help me see how it goes.” Oli pushed a photo towards Evelin, but he said something else.

"Let me take a look at the script, but let me make it clear first, if I don't like it, you can't take it." Evelyn responded to Ollie's words, took a quick look at the photo, memorized Lin Shi's appearance, and burned it directly.

"Okay, okay. All up to you." Oli pretended to smile while speaking, but his expression was extremely serious.

“I’m starving. Let me take a look at the menu first.” Evelyn opened her notebook and wrote down what she wanted to say and handed it to Ollie.

'Time, place.'

"By the way, our company is having a dance tomorrow. Didn't you say you liked that someone, Tang Wan? Do you want to be my dance partner?" Oli tore off the used note, quickly burned it, put it into the plastic bag he brought, and stuffed it into his bag.

"Can I really meet her? I must go!" Evelin was rubbing her hands in excitement, with a gleam in her eyes.
