I suppressed my anger and looked at him coldly.
“Judging by your tone, it seems you think you’re guaranteed to win, right?”
Harris Lee grinned and smiled at me.
“That’s right. People need to know their place, unlike some who pretend to be strong without any real substance.”
I looked at him expressionlessly, and said, enunciating each word, “Do you think I’m
pretending to be strong, or am I giving you a chance?”
Harris Lee burst out laughing after hearing what I said.
“You? Giving *us* a chance?”
“Little bitch, have you lost your mind?”
“Eighty million is nothing; it’s just pocket change for my wife.”
I suppressed a smile and looked at Mindy Wyatt.
“Mr. Wyatt, you heard your husband. Make an offer.”
Mindy Wyatt, provoked by my words, got caught up in the moment. After a pause, she raised
her eyebrows, glanced around, and then dramatically extended her index finger.
“One hundred million!”
Her roar sent the entire room into a frenzy. While most attendees at this banquet had a net
worth exceeding one hundred million, having that kind of wealth and being able to produce one hundred million in cash are two very different things. Even for a publicly traded company like Wyatt Group, coming up with one hundred million in a single day would be a significant challenge. Judging by Mindy Wyatt’s expression, I could tell that one hundred million was likely pushing her to her absolute limit.
Just then, a staff member returned the microphone to me. Under the expectant gaze of the
crowd, I slowly began to speak.
“Mr. Wyatt, I believe that since we’re all here for charity, isn’t 100 million still a bit low?”
“Why don’t you increase your bid a little? What do you say?”
No sooner had I spoken than Harris Lee couldn’t help but stand up.
“Little bitch, this is a charity banquet, not a contest to see who can throw around the most
money.”
“Anyone can claim they’ll donate 100 million, the real question is, can you actually afford that kind of money?”
Hearing her husband’s words, Mindy Wyatt immediately chimed in:
“My husband’s right. Why should I match whatever amount you happen to suggest?”
I gave the couple a meaningful look and raised my hand to signal the host on stage.
“A mere hundred million is just a meaningless string of cold numbers to me; it holds no
whatsoever.”
“Since Mr. Wyatt is so fond of my collectible, I’m afraid I must reluctantly part with it.”

I stopped speaking mid–sentence and placed my bidding paddle down in front of everyone.

Facing everyone ridicule, I simply smiled. Then, I flipped over the name tag on my chest.

Pay up Cosh or cord?”
Mindy Wyatt was completely dumbfounded by the scene.
“Pay for what? Why would I pay you? Collecting money is the banquet’s business. What does
#t have to do with you?”
I raised the microphone, staring at her with a knowing smile.
“Mr. Wyatt seems to have a slight memory problem.”
“Didn’t I tell you before that the painting is mine?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the end.
“On behalf of the Organizer, I thank Mr. Wyatt for his generous contribution to the children in
impoverished mountain areas.”
The moment I finished speaking, Mindy Wyatt’s cronies were squirming, their faces turning
beet red
“Little girl, you’re young, but you’ve got a big mouth. You dare to impersonate the Organizer?”
“Believe me, one word from us and you’ll be run out of Cloud City.”
“Exactly! Do you think we’re blind? Your badge clearly says ‘Guest.”
My words were a slap in the face to everyone there, and these self–important businessmen are obsessed with saving face. If security hadn’t been there, they probably would have rushed
me and beaten me senseless. But some of them were right; I did organize this Banquet.
Over the years, I’ve organized charity banquets all over the country. I never imagined I’d be
questioned when I came back to my own hometown.
Seeing me become the target of everyone’s attacks, Mindy Wyatt’s smile widened.
Lynn, you heard what they said, didn’t you?
You’re just a lowly staff member. How dare you impersonate the Organizer? You’re court‘
death!
With that, she abruptly waved her hand behind her.
Security! Arrest this woman immediately and take her to the police station!

Following Mindy Wyatt’s command, more than a dozen security guards rushed in from all
directions.
Facing such a situation, there wasn’t a trace of panic on my face.
Mr. Wyatt, are you planning to overstep your authority here?
I told you a long time ago, this is my territory. Do you really think these people will listen to
you?
her.
Before Mindy Wyatt could react, the security guards on the scene instantly moved towards
Harris Lee was stunned. He couldn’t understand why the staff were listening to me. After a moment of hesitation, he mustered his courage and stood up.
How dare you! My wife is the Chairman of the Board of the Wyatt Group! Who gave you the
courage to do this!
“Get out of my way, or I’ll have my wife fire all of you!”
Harris Lee roared at the top of his lungs, but the security guards on the scene didn’t budge.
“Mr. Lee, don’t waste your energy. They won’t listen to you.”
I subtly moved my finger, and the surrounding bodyguards instantly swarmed forward. In under a minute, Harris Lee and his wealthy wife were restrained and unable to move.
Mindy Wyatt struggled to get up, but the bodyguards I hired were professionally trained, and
she was no match for them.
“Lynn, what the hell do you think you’re doing!”
“Do you know who I am? I’m the Chairman of the Board of the Wyatt Group. Touch me, and
see what happens!”
I rubbed my ears and slowly walked towards her.
“The Chairman of the Board of the Wyatt Group, is it? I’ll touch you right now. What are you
going to do about it?”
Before she could even think, I backhanded her across the face. The sound of the slap echoed as five bright red finger marks instantly appeared on Mindy Wyatt’s cheek.
She stared at me in disbelief, shaking with rage.
“You actually dare to hit me?”
I stretched my wrist and leisurely presented the badge on my chest to her.
“Mr. Wyatt, I seem to recall your husband mentioning that you’ve been featured on the
Forbes list, haven’t you?”
“So… let me ask you this: do you have more money than I do?”
Mindy Wyatt stared, her eyes wide, until she recognized the logo on my chest. The next second, she exclaimed, “You’re with the Organizer! How is that possible?”
