Chapter 98 So wheres the painting ? Zack asked , his eyes narrowest i If it came to it , I know hell love to see me fall for daring to humiliate the love of his life .
He was wrong in that .
I planned on following through with this , 1 leaned my head innocently , I believe I made it pretty clear when I said I had it , no ? That doesnt answer my question .
Where is it ? He gritted his teeth , fare already contorted in anger .
If looks could kill , Id probably already he dead by now .
Hella clung to his side , glaring daggers at me like it would somehow affect me the longer the did that Thats enough Quentin cut Zack off before he could speak again .
He began making his way towards the stage , his steps calculated and deliberate .
No need to hackle her with all those ( those questions , Quentin said calmly .
Im not in a hurry to see the painting .

Zack looked even more annoyed .
I just believe we deserve to see the original as shes claimed it to be .
Hey , hey , Relax .
I bought the painting .
I won this auction making the Glass House mine by default .
Whats the hurry about ? Quentins voice was calm yet sharp as a knife .
If Zack had been about to come up with some retort , the words died in his throat immediately .
Quentin had that aura to him that was capable of making even someone as dominant as Zack to behave .
I would have relished in the sight of him being put down but the crowds murmurs and whispers were already getting louder .
Hat we really havent seen the painting yet .
The host went on .
Dont you think it would be best if we got to ? As a formality if you please .
Yeah .
Some of his assistants nodded in agreement .
She started an auction without the painting even g even arriving yet .
iving yet .
Who does that ? * I know right .
That makes zero sense .
Ive never seen this happen at any other auctions before .
The murmurs and mutters were getting louder with each passing second .
Bella was no longer as pale as she had been just a moment ago .
The crowds questions and suspicions gave her the courage to art bolder .
A confident smirk sprung on her face as she made her way closer to me Do you even have the painting ? She folded her arms .
Or was it all just some lie you cooked up ? Quentins face hardened as he watched Bella .
He didnt react or make any move , simply watching the whole thing play out .
I could feel Haelor still standing by my side .
When I briefly glanced at him , the anxious look in his eyes was hard to miss .
A small smile played at my lips before I sent him a wink .
With that , I turned back to Bella who looked like she had the upper hand already .
Discrediting my proclamation wont make your fake painting any more original Bella .
I stared her down .
She scoffed , Cut all the bullshit and just confess already .
We know you dont have the painting .
You can stop embarrassing yourself now 1 simply hummed , a mask of disinterest passing over my face .
My gaze went to my watch .
I clicked my tongue , mirroring the small tick of the watch .
It should be here any minute now .
I turned to the door .
bellas eyes narrowed down on me .
What do you mean- Chapter 98 The doors swung open and in walked in the royal prince himself .
Askhan was followed by his normal entourage of guards .
One of them , a gamma warrior , was carefully holding the painting as they made their way towards the stage .
Askhan was dressed just for the occasion in a maroon tailored suit and a black turtleneck underneath .
His gold sunglasses gleamed under the brightness of the chandelier lights as he got on stage .
He sent me a brief smile before turning to the audience .
Ladies and gentlemen , The Glass House .
The whole crowd cooed and stared in awe of the painting .
Askhan went on to prove its authenticity by sighting the make of the painting as well as all the tools that went into creating that specific piece of artwork .
In the blink of an eye , the whole tide of the evening had shifted just as Id expected it too .
Bella did not look one bit pleased by what was going on .
Neither did the love of her life who was practically fuming When Askhan turned back to me again , I felt warmth blooming in my chest .
He was one of the few people that knew I had possession of the Glass House and I was glad he came through for him at the moment when I needed him the most .
Right on time .
I chuckled .
As my lady requests .
He grabbed my hand and placed a small kiss on it .
