The bidding for the 300 acre land had began.
Tempest's thoughts on Meddy targeting the land came true when she spotted her straighten her back. Tempest slowly smirked.
"It seems that she haven't found out about her zero bank account" Tempest spoke to Flora
"Them let's make her find out"
"Opening bid starts at 200million dollars" the host announced.
"250 million dollars from Miss Lucian!" The host announced
Some of the guest gasped and looked at her with confusion. The land was worth 210 million dollars and plus no one wants it since the foundation of the soil was weak for construction and the soil fertility was poor for agriculture.
"350 million dollars from Miss Grooks!" The host announced.
Meddy and Vance were shocked. They didn't think Tempest was here to bid and worse add a whooping 100 million dollars from their bid. It showed how much she wanted it.
"Temmy, didn't you say that you forgave me..why are you after the land I want to buy as a gift for grandpa"Meddy said pitifully
"Yes, I forgave you but I want the land for matters that would help the city" Tempest also said innocently and of course, the elites were on her side.
Think about it-when the land bought gets to be given as a gift, the one who gets it might just use for his own benefit so the elites supported Tempest and saw no wrong.
Meddy fumed when she didn't see things go her way. Vance's coaxed her to calm down before turning to Tempest
"Tempest, I know that you still love me-" Vance said then paused.
Tempest looked to the other side and nearly puked out her delicious breakfast. Vance saw her trembling shoulders and thought that Tempest might be crying and was hiding herself (the nerve!). Flora slowly patted her back to calm her down and stop her from throwing up.
"But my love that I had was long gone...so I beg you-please stop seeking my attention" Vance said humbly
'this prideful, egoistical, self-loving bastard! Does he think he is the king of the world! I swear, after this I'm robbing all his penny!' Tempest inwardly swore then calmed herself down
"400 million dollars from Miss Lucian!"
"500 million dollars from Miss Grooks!"
Tempest purposefully raised it again and gave her a taunting look at her infuriated state. She finally ticked
"Tempest, stop pretending to have money. Aren't you afraid of crossing the Kingsley Mafia family for cheating them!" She stood up and said infuriated
"Thanks for worrying about me but they can't do anything to me"
Tempest wondered where she got that confidence from. The elites gasped and wondered if the head of the Kingsley Mafia family, Aiden Kingsley, was really her sugar baby.
"Tempest, it seems that you don't want to let me go-i already told you to leave me alone-i have already moved on"
Flora openly rolled her eyes.
"There is a saying that-once shit is removed from the body, it can't return back-so I'm not sorry to say that I can't return shit back" Tempest said with pride Crossing her hands and looking at Vance with disgust.
"Did you just call me shit!" Vance roared
"I didn't mention anyone but it seems that you are suspecting to be yourself" Tempest said while leaning on the chair and crossing her legs
"Forget about that-for our past, please let us have this land" Vance said almost reaching a breaking point.
"The rule here is-the highest bidder wins, so you either bid higher or shut the hell up" Tempest said coldly then told the host to continue
"500 million dollars to Miss Grooks. Going once! Twice! Thrice! Sold to Miss Grooks!" The host announced
Tempest stood prepared to leave but she did it slowly expected for a certain someone to make a move.
"Wait! Everyone!" Meddy called out desperately. Everyone who was prepared to leave stopped on their movements. They wondered what new drama they had to watch. Tempest calmly sat back down
"Meddy, what's wrong?" Vance asked worriedly Meddy calmed him down by telling him it's alright. Tempest smirked when Meddy stepped right on her trap. She knew Meddy to be vengeful: she was willing to do anything to try to embarrass her or destroy her. She knew her all too well
"Tempest Is a Fraud! I bet she is just pretending to have money" Meddy said confidently while Tempest remained silent.
Seeing her silent, Meddy's confidence grew making her think she was right. Tempest knew how Meddy would feel more smug after she remained silent.
"So before everyone leaves, we have to confirm that she is not a fraud" Meddy added
To the elites present, it seemed reasonable so they agreed to it. The host brought over an attendant with a swiping card machine. Tempest stopped them while raising her hand.
"What is it Tempest-trying to defend yourself. Just let the truth come to light for your benefit and everyone's benefits. Just confess before we check" Meddy said
Tempest scoffed then slowly stood up from the chair she was sitting on.
"I just wanted to tell the attendant to just check my phone. I haven't registered for a bank card yet plus-I'll be more willing to allow them to check my assets if afterwards, they check yours Meddy but-if it appears to be wrong, you will kneel and call me mommy" Tempest said with a confident smile which made Meddy begin to doubt herself.
