Chapter 333
Hearing this, Yvette looked at Andrew with her dark, clean, and clear eyes, untainted by a trace of dirt. She gave a faint “Oh,” then opened the box, took a bite, and nodded in Andrew’s expectant gaze. “Not bad.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as Andrew was about to boast a couple of sentences without even checking who bought it, before he could speak, he clicked his tongue sharply because Yvette added. “It’s worth 1 million dollars.”
Andrew’s smile froze on his face, and he blurted out, “Which bastard sold me out?”
Yvette rested her chin on her hand, tapping the table intermittently, yawning, looking extremely lazy, and giving a half- smile, half–grimace glance at something behind Andrew. ‘Bastard? This kid really doesn’t know what it means that trouble comes from the mouth.
Charles calmly took a sip of milk, looked behind Andrew, and pointed, signaling him to turn around.
Andrew was confused. ‘What do you mean? Is there something behind me?’ He turned around in the direction Charles pointed. When he saw who was standing behind him, he immediately jumped in surprise. ‘Damn… why is my sister here?‘Now, even if Andrew was stupid, he figured it out. ‘Jeremiah had already left for military district matters this morning, and the only person present in the group was my sister, so my sister is that bastard?‘
Andrew swallowed hard, thinking about whether he could fake death now… “The problem is, I think if I immediately lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, given my sister’s temper, she might just make my fake death real!
Andrew quickly tried to flatter Samantha, saying, “When did you get here? Have you eaten breakfast? Maybe your brother could cook for you and make some delicious dishes?”
Samantha was charming in every way, exuding a 9 feet 2.24 inches boss lady aura. She wore a neat and clean white suit, with all her hair tied up, looking very professional.
Samantha smiled, and to Andrew, it was the death smile. Every time his sister showed this smile, all he could do was run, run immediately. Andrew tried to flee, but Samantha was faster. She threw her bag, took two big steps, and delivered a roundhouse kick, sending Andrew flying like a streamlined object, hitting the dining table chairs, and his head smashed against the table leg.
Andrew lay face down on the table leg, yelling plaintively, “Damn it, sister, you ambushed me again.”
Samantha retracted her long legs, calmly smoothed the wrinkles in her suit, and smiled at the pitiful–looking Andrew in a very friendly tone. “You’re reacting too slowly, blaming me? Who else is the bastard? Come on, tell me properly!”
Andrew rubbed his kicked butt and climbed up from the ground, muttering, “I didn’t know it was you, sister, you went too far by tattling to Yve.” Andrew had no confidence in saying this; he only dared to mutter softly. ‘Earning this 1 million dollars was really not easy!
the Samantha ignored him and sat down next to Yvette. With Jeremiah not here, she couldn’t pass up great opportunity to get closer to Yve. Samantha said, “Yve, are you going to the exchange competition with Jeremiah tomorrow as well?”
Yvette nodded, took a sip of milk, and her voice was a bit weary. “Okay.”
Samantha knew that Yvette was the type who spoke few words but was formidable. A single word was enough. Samantha continued. “I’ll go too. Let’s sit together at the exchange competition.”
In response to Samantha’s invitation, Yvette nodded. “Alright.”
Samantha turned and waved at Andrew, and Andrew could only walk over reluctantly. “Sister, what else do you want?”
Samantha took out her phone and opened the payment code, saying, “Transfer the 1 million dollars to me. Don’t even think about hiding it.”
Andrew, seeing that he couldn’t resist his sister, could only tearfully transfer the 1 million dollars he had just received. ‘My sister Samantha is a complete nagger. My 1 million dollars, just when I got it, it’s already gone…
Charles put down the newspaper and glanced at the two, his eyes growing deeper. “These brother and sister really aren’t alike at all. All the intelligence is going to the sister.
In the afternoon, Yvette took some time to go to the Chavez family and selected a dress for Aurora to wear at tomorrow’s exchange competition. As the wife of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs head, Aurora would be accompanying the exchange competition for the two days.
The exchange competition is divided into two events: the first is chess, and the second day’s second event is fencing. The format is very simple, not complicated; both chess and fencing are decided by a single game.
The night before the competition, Robin and Kaiden could hardly sleep all night. Robin couldn’t sleep at all due to anger and physical pain, while Kaiden was worried about Yvette as an unpredictable variable. Only Yvette, after having dinner, went to bed early and slept particularly soundly that night.
The next day, the highly anticipated exchange competition between the two countries was about to officially begin at 1 PM this afternoon.
Today, the world’s media attention was all focused on the Eastern Hotel, the venue for the exchange competition. Every media outlet was competing fiercely to secure a good spot, not even neglecting the surrounding areas, all to get first–hand information. Due to the nature of this exchange competition, only a limited number of official media were allowed entry. Whoever could get first–hand data would gain traffic, and online netizens were already eager for it.
However, before the exchange competition, there was a small banquet. The invitations were extended only to the families of Betrico officials and members of the Ybaulla delegation visiting Clusia. The number of guests wasn’t large, but each one was a heavyweight in their own right. The banquet was not open to the public, but that didn’t stop the media from arriving early and waiting at the entrance.
The banquet hall was set up in the Eastern Hotel, where Betrico hosts state guests. To facilitate the smooth conduct of the exchange competition after the banquet, the venue was already set up next door. After the banquet concluded, attendees could directly move over to watch the competition.
In Banquet Hall No. 1, Aurora was already at the venue accompanying Clifford.
Jase and Kyle were not attending this banquet; they would appear later at the exchange competition.
Aurora was wearing a dress that Yvette personally altered for her… A purple brocade satin dress, with patterns like traditional Art Nouveau plum blossoms and other ink wash painting designs, a purely hand–painted dress. The dress showcased Aurora’s beautiful figure to the fullest, elegant and dignified yet grand. It was also the first for the “Vibe” next season’s main Renaissance motifs collection, making Aurora the first woman to wear it.
As soon as she entered, she caught the attention of all the women. The men only glanced once and then looked away; they wanted to look twice, but with Clifford being such a big jealous type next to his wife, they didn’t have the courage.
Aurora stood straight, wearing a proper smile on her face, and gave a slight smile to everyone.
Today, Clifford deliberately chose a dark suit to match Aurora, coordinating with her. The two of them standing together were simply a perfect pair, making many people envious.
Samantha came with Tim, wearing a blue mermaid dress today, accentuating her curves. Plus, her boss lady face attracted quite a bit of attention. However, most of them knew Samantha; it wasn’t their first time seeing her. Samantha was known as a shopping mall diva.
Samantha, holding a wine glass and linking her arm with Tim’s, walked towards Clifford and Aurora. When she reached them, Samantha said, “Mr. Chavez, Aurora, didn’t Jeremiah and Yve come with you?”
