Warning My Mommy is A Savage

Chapter 226

Just as Charmine was thinking of ways to resolve the crisis, Mr. Kingston received a text. Once he read the text, he said to the camera, “My apologies, but I won’t sell this gown anymore as someone’s buying it for ten billion. Ten billion bucks.”

Ten billion bucks?!

“How is that possible? Who’d spend ten billion to buy this foolish gown?” whined Kelly Milan in her high-pitched voice,

Mr. Kingston’s brows furrowed in displeasure. “And this is customer’s privacy, which I’ll never disclose. Ms. Milan, please mind your attitude. That’s the end of today’s auction. Goodbye.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

With that, he left the platform, and the live-streaming auction endeďas he turned it off.

Kelly Milan felt waves of white-hot anger within her. Was this old man actually asking her to mind her attitude? He merely made a foolish gown, so what rights did he have to tell her off? H e was the one going against the rules in the first place! Still, what annoyed her most was the two people: One called against her on the platform, while the other one secretly bought the gown with ten billion!

“Go and find out who these two people are,” yelled Kelly Milan to her assistant, “right away!”

Meanwhile, Charmine tried to find out who could have spent ten billion on this gown. Since M r. Kingston was a man of his word, it did not add up that he suddenly changed his mind and sold it to someone else at a higher price after he promised the gown to Charmine. Was Mr. Kingston a man who treasured money more than his promises?

That could not be; something must have happened behind the scenes. Still, she could not find out the buyer’s identity even after using her resources.

On the other hand, Kelly did find out about Charmine as she simply registered and logged onto the platform with her phone numbers. If a person could hack into the database of the platform, they could retrieve her identity easily. Thus, Kelly hired a top hacker to hack into the system’s databank and found out it was Charmine’s phone number.

Charmine received a call from Kelly just as she was fumbling around with her phone.

“Hmph! And here I was, wondering who would’ve attempted to take the gown from me. It was you all along, Charmine Jordan!” scoffed Kelly. “Oh Charmine, are you not aware of your self worth? What have you got in you to snatch the gown from me? Are your assets even worth a tenth of mine?”

Before Charmine could speak, Kelly condescendingly continued, “And look at you! Didn’t you say you had to have it? Hah! Haven’t you lost as well? You lost to the ten billion bucks, eh? Well, if you’re as determined as you claimed to be, why don’t you bring out twenty billion to buy the gown right back?

“Oh, right, you wanted to buy the gown for tomorrow’s Night of Glory, huh? Do you really think you can receive an award? Even if you do, the award would be some non-impressive award, while my award will be the Number One Supermodel for sure. You’ll only get to play a minor part in this ceremony at best! Are you not ashamed to show up to this ceremony with such a grand gown while playing a minor role?

“Oh, my bad. You didn’t even get it at all! A Boss Jordan who declared she could do anything had her gown taken right before her! Ha-ha-ha! You deserve this! Want to dress up in a D.K?N o way!

“There’s a saying for this, you know: The b*tch will eventually meet her match!”

Kelly yelled unpleasantly into her phone, mocking and insulting Charmine, yet Charmine remained unfazed and calm. Once Kelly stopped, Charmine-with a cold smirk on her face quipped, “Yeah, you

might not have met your match, but if you’re not careful, your company will meet its match and get taken by me.”

“Don’t you dare! Don’t you dare take my artists from me!” Kelly’s voice went several octaves higher at that instant as it oozed with hatred. 1

Charmine merely continued and egged her on in her light and mocking tone, “Oh really? Kelly Milan, don’t you forget that your company can face litigation for not allowing the artists to terminate the contracts. If you ever offend me again, well, two can play at that game.” Her lips curled up as she hung up, her calm voice filled with threat.
