Chapter 47 

“ S ! Mr.

Flynn ! Toast ! Toast someone shouted enthusiastically , their voice brimming with excitement . 

“ S ! Mr.

Flynn ! Cheers ! Cheers ! ” everyone was shouting . 

The crowd followed suit , their cheers echoing through the lively room .

Yet , after a while , someone noticed an awkward truth 

“ Wait , where’s Mr.

Flynn ! ” a guest asked , puzzled 

“ Yeah , where is he ? I don’t see him anywhere ” another chimed in , craning their neck to search the room 

It was only then that the crowd realized the main attraction of the evening – Mr .

Flynn – was nowhere to be found . 

“ Hey , Manager Wu ! ” A guest teased , raising a brow “ How can Mr.

Josiah be the star of the right if he isn’t even here ? 

“ Hey , Mr.

Whiter someone teased , raising an eyebrow .

“ How can Mr.

Flynn be the star of the night if he isn’t even here ? ” 

“ Exactly ! Are 

you trying to trick us ? another guest added , their tone skeptical 

“ Maybe S is too much of a treasure – a pearl so precious that he’s been hidden away , someone joked , eliciting a few scattered chuckles , 

Henry White , the manager , hurried to calm the room , waving his hands nervously .

“ No , no , it’s not like that Let me explain – Mr .

Flynn couldn’t make it tonight , but he left us a message .” 

Henry hesitated , a cold sweat forming on his brow .

He couldn’t possibly reveal the secret agreement an arrangement ensuring Mr.

Flynn’s perpetual position as the top bidder , secured by 100 thousand dollars .

If he let that slip , he’d risk offending the other guests . 

The Flynn family may be powerful , Henry thought anxiously , but these people arent to be trifled with either 

“ What messige ? ” soncone pressed , suspicion creeping into their voice . 

Such an explanation clearly lacked persuasiveness . 

“ Come on , Mr.

White , How can someone bid if they’re not even here ? ” another voice prodded . 

Someone asked , “ Isn’t the rule at Maze that you have to be present for it to count ? ” 

The comment struck a nerve , sparking a wave of agreement . 

“ That’s right I Absolutely ! ” Among the most vocal was Adrian , the CEO of the Grandeur Group who had been second to Josiah in tonight’s bidding . 

Over the past few weeks , Adrian had spent a fortune supporting 5 and naturally assumed he

would take the top spot tonight 

However , Mr.

White had suddenly announced that Mr.

Flynn had won .

Initially .

Adrian hadn’t dared to challenge the decision – until now . 

“ Mr.

White , Adrian said , stepping forward with a sly smile .

“ If everyone here agrees , shouldn’t the rules be followed fairly ? ” 

Mr.

White froze , his heart pounding .

Sweat trickled down his temples , betraying his panic . 

How could this be happening ? he thought , utterly dismayed .

I invoked Mr.

Flynn’s name , and they still don’t believe me ! 

Meanwhile , Josiah leaned back in his car , exhausted after a long day . 

As the vehicle slowed to a stop , he gazed our the window , his dark eyes narrowing thoughtfully .

“ Zaid he called out to his driver 

“ Yes , Mr.

Flynn ? ” Zaid replied respectfully . 

Josiah opened the car door and gestured for him to leave .

I’ve got something to take care of .

I’ll drive myself .

Go ahead and grab a cab .” 

“ Huh ? ” Zaid blinked , startled .

“ Mr.

Flynn , where are you going ? Let me take you there !! 

There’s no need ,” Josiah said firmly , shaking his head . 

Without another word , he slid into the driver’s seat and drove off , leaving a bewildered Zaid behind .

At the next intersection , Josiah made a sharp left turn – a direction that didn’t lead to the Silver Beach . 

Where is Mr.

Flynn going ? Zaid wondered .

Chapter 47 

Josiah was headed to Maze .

He hadn’t been there recently , largely dise to Sienna , but tonight , he finally had the time – and the inclination – to 

check 

Maze was in complete chaos . 

“ Mr.

Bennett , you can’t go in there ! That’s the staff lounge ! ” Some stuff was hurried to stop Adrian 

“ Move asideľ Adrian barked , his tone sharp and aggressive .

Trying to handle this calmly had gotten him nowhere — it was like loving money .

pride all at once .

How could be possibly let this slide ! 

“ Mr.

White ! ” Adrian stormed into the backstage area , pointing an accusatory finger .

Tve spent a fortune supporting Sienna over the past few weeks .

I deserve an explanation ! Moreover … 

He waved his arm , glancing back at the crowd of spectators .

“ Ask them , is my demand reasonable or not ! ” 

Those spectators agreed , “ Reasonable 

“ Absolutely reasonable ?” chimed in the crowd , eager for more excitement 

“ Please , Mr.

Bennett , Henry said hurriedly , stepping forward , “ let’s discuss this outside .

This is a private area for staff ; it’s not appropriate * 

But Adrian’s patience had run out .

His pride was wounded , and the alcohol loosened his inhibitions .

Grabbing Henry by the shoulder .

Adrian shoved him aside with enough force to make him stumble . 

“ Do you 

think 

Mr.

Flynn knows you’ve been throwing his name around to bluff us? ” Adrian bellowed .

“ Get out of my way ! ” 

Henry barely regained his footing before Adrian barged into the dressing room 

Steadying himself , he caught up , as Adrian had already charged into the dressing room . 

“ Ah ! ” The startled cries of women filled the room as dancers , in various states of undress , hastily tried to cover themselves . 

Adrian ignored them , asking .

“ Where’s St Tell her to come out and toast ! ” 

“ Her ? ” Everyone instinctively turned to look in Sienna’s direction . 

Sienna had just removed her makeup and wasn’t wearing her mask .

But the moment Adrian entered , she reacted swiftly , slipping the mask back on 

But this only made it easier for Adrian to recognize her . 

“ There you are ” he said triumphantly , striding toward her . 

Sienna stood up , her posture straight and composed .

“ Hello , Mr.

Bennett .

Is there something I can help you 

with ! 

Adrian paused for a moment , slightly stunned .

Though her face was hidden , her voice and graceful bearing only heightened her allure . 

He said , “ 5 , after the dance , it’s tradition to toast the top bidder .

You wouldn’t want to break the rules , would you ? ” 

Sienna remained silent .

Though she had no objections , she didn’t have the authority to decide for herself 

Henry quickly stepped between them , his voice placating , “ Mr.

Bennett , please .

Let’s talk outside .

This is a private space for the performers ” But Adrian’s temper flared .

His pride was bruised , and he wasn’t about to back down .

Grabbing Henry by the shoulder , Adrian shoved him aside , “ Move ! I’m waming you – don’t make me lose my temper , or I’ll smash this entire place ! ” 

Before anyone could react , Adrian reached for Sienna , grabbing her delicate wrist . 

The moment their skin touched , a sinister light appeared in Adrian’s eyes .

The smooth sensation in his palm made him understand what it truly meant to have thin as soft as errain . 

“ Come with me ! ” He tightened his grip , attempting to drag Sien away- 

“ No ! Let go of me Sienna’s voice rang out , sharp with panic . 

Adrun inrered , his grip tightening “ You’re just a dancer .

Don’t you dare raise your voice at me ! ” 

“ I said , let go the shouted , her body trembling as she tried to pull fire . 

Her struggles only 

y infuriated Adrian further .

Dragging her across the flour , he ignored her cries .

Adrian said , “ You’re coming with me , whether you like it or not 

He dragged Sienna along like she was a piece of livestock . 

Sienna’s voice broke into sobs as her free hand clawed at his arm .

“ Let go ! Please , let go ! ” 

The onlookers stood frozen in place , too afraid to intervene . 

“ Mr.

White ! Do something ! ” one of the staff members whispered urgently . 

*1 * Henry stammered flustered .

Tll call security ! Right now ! Sienna , wait for me 

“ What should we do ? Should we go help ? ” Someone uid , 

“ But .

Mr.

Bennett isn’t easy to deal with Another one replied . 

One agreed , “ Look at him , if we get involved , we might get into trouble ! ” 

Sienna whimpered , her hand being pulled had gone numb , her whole body tease , and gradually , her breathing became difficult .

She let out a pained sound “ Uh- 

“ She doesn’t look good ! someone exclaimed .

“ She’s struggling to breathef ”
