Chapter 463 - Losing Millions

"I know Miss Aivy. And I did what you told me." the man said in a hushed tone while looking around making sure that no one could hear their conversation.

"But..." the man continued. "I am sorry Miss Aivy. It was The Children of Mt. Celandine who backed out yesterday."

"What?! They backed out?" Aivy is now red in fury.

"Yes, Miss Aivy. It was just yesterday. They said that they don't really need a big fund. What they actually need is to become a formal school. And they already got someone to help them with that. Again, I am sorry Miss Aivy, but I've already done my part of the deal. It was them who backed out and it is not my fault. I cannot do anything about it because the committee has already picked a replacement." After saying that, the man left their table not minding the furious Aivy that is about to explode. Why not? She just lost all her money.

"Damn it!" Aivy is too worked up to care about her image right now. She stood up seething and Hector followed her. He already knows where she is going.

"Laurie... I'm gonna kill you!" Aivy said with gnashing teeth while walking towards the exit of the hall.

"Aivy, wait. How about the Massive J and The Golden Red?" Hector said in between panting after he sprinted towards Aivy.

"Do you think I still have time to deal with it now?! I lost more than 120 million dollars in one night just because of that good for nothing illegitimate sister of mine!" She cried while marching towards the lobby of the hotel.

In Hector's thought, as if Aivy could still do anything about that over 120 million dollars that she lost. She should deal with her sister later and go back to the ballroom to keep an eye on her gems. At least she could still sell them to retrieve back her money. But he doubts if Aivy would let go of those gems.

What will she do now? Aivy is too blinded by anger that she set aside the gems for now. Although the GBC Auction Ball will personally deliver the items to its owner the next day. Hector can't help but feel bothered. Ever since he saw that blue diamond ring in J's finger he felt like she and the Robin Hood Society is up to something.

....

After changing into more comfortable clothes, J and Jacob lay down in bed to catch up on the times that they missed each other. Which was only a week! J is engulfed in Jacob's warm embrace. Jacob tightened his arms around J while J is clasping the back of Jacob's shirt not willing to let go. She takes in Jacob's unique scent again and again not seeming to get enough of him.

They just laid there with legs entangled when they heard a knock on the door. J's brow furrowed as she raised her head to face Jacob.

"Are you expecting someone?"

"Mm." Jacob nodded his head.

When Jacob left the bed to open the door, J felt cold without Jacob's body so she pulled the blanket up to her neck. Thou they've been on the bed for like 30 minutes now, it seems like they don't have any plans to sleep yet. They still have a lot of catching up to do.

When Jacob returned to the room, he is now carrying a tray of food. He looked at his wife who's bundled up in the bed and a hint of gentleness flashed on his face.

"I ordered food." He called out to her.

J opened her eyes when she heard him. Now that he mentioned food. She remembered that she hasn't eaten dinner yet. And Jacob probably too as well.

"I never thought of food ever since I lost communication with you," Jacob said as he laid the tray on a table. "And I knew you will never eat anything at the ball, so I ordered the food earlier."
