Hallcester Hotel, Empyrean Hall.

The young masters and ladies of the prestigious Hashville State were all gathered around Roxie, complimenting and laughing with her in a star–studded spectacle.

Suddenly, there was a flurry of activity in front of the hotel.

Groups of guests, in threes and fives, quickly made way for a passage.

“Mr. Rudy, Mr. Israel, welcome!”

The two deputy law enforcement officers from the Hashville Martial Arts Union, who were responsible for welcoming guests at the door, respectfully saluted.

Everyone looked up.

An old and a young person walked into the hotel through the main

entrance.

The old man was Israel, the head butler of the Barrett family.

The young man was the pride of the younger generation of the Barrett family, Rudy Barrett, Travis’s eldest grandson.

Rudy was the most skilled, highly cultivated, and handsome man among the younger generation of the archaic martial arts family.

They were also the young ladies of the archaic martial arts family, who were admired and eagerly pursued,

the young master Rudy of the Barrett family through rumors.

It was said that he was extraordinarily handsome and led a life full of ups and downs.

But they had never seen the real person’s demeanor.

Travis was extremely fond of his eldest grandson, Rudy.

The knowledge that Rudy inherited was personally taught by Travis.

Travis was extremely strict in demanding his eldest grandson’s conduct and cultivation.

On the occasion of the Hashville Martial Arts Union celebration, the Mellor family formally invited the Barrett family to attend.

Travis had invited Rudy to come along with Israel, intending for him. to get out and see the world, to gain some experience.

Prepared for the important task of inheriting the leadership of the Barrett family in the future.

Eighteen–year–old Rudy was charming and handsome.

Just as they entered the Empyrean Hall of the Hallcester Hotel, they immediately attracted the amazed attention of a group of young masters. and misses.

Roxie, who was enjoying the flattery and adulation in the crowd, was also a sight for sore eyes.

The entire Hashville State had never seen such a handsome and elegant man before.

Roxie’s heart tightened, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

A fiery glow radiated from the gaze directed at Rudy

She quickly checked her lapel, pushed through the crowd, and stepped forward, saying, “Mr. Rudy, hello! I’m Roxie, welcome to the

inauguration ceremony of the division.”

This was the first time Rudy represented the Barrett family at such a grand event

Roxie’s sudden appearance also brightened his eyes

In the circle of the archaic martial arts family, such proactive and enthusiastic women were rarely seen.

When Roxie stood gracefully before him, Rudy was moved.

He nodded slightly, humbly and calmly controlling his excited emotions.

At that time, my heart had already flown away with Roxie.

Israel and Rozie, who were standing nearby, exchanged a few simple greetings, then reminded, “Young Master, please go upstairs to meet Mr. Delbert first, then we can talk when you come back.”

Roxic was struggling to contain her joy, and with a ladylike smile, she said, “Mr. Rudy, after you.”

Rudy nodded, looking into Rozie’s eyes with a warm smile.

Together with Israel, headed to the second floor accompanied by two deputy elders of the Hashville Martial Arts Union.

Roxie’s heart was pounding.

Looking at Rudy’s handsome figure, recalling the warm smile of the young master.

Countless little stars were twinkling in her eyes.

Glen and Domingo were filled with bitterness, jealousy suddenly arose. in their hearts.

Standing before Rudy, they paled in comparison.

Regardless of family background, appearance, temperament, or cultivation, I knew I was far behind Rudy in many ways.

At that moment, Glen and Domingo’s eyes lit up.

A woman in a white long dress walked in from the outside.

A stunningly beautiful face, a tall figure, an innocent demeanor, and a dazzling charm.

Especially on her fair and slender neck, that string of Cloud–Moon Necklace.

Moreover, her stunning beauty was highlighted, making her seem ethereal and extraordinary.

The visitor was Crystal.

When Crystal’s mother was alive, she had funded the Hashville Martial Arts Union multiple times.

Therefore, the Thompson family also had some connections with the Mellor family.

After a brief moment of surprise, Glen and Domingo both subconsciously nodded at Crystal, saying, “Hello.”

Crystal looked around the hall, but didn’t find any familiar faces.

Seeing Glen and Domingo in the crowd, they smiled and gestured at

her, she nodded politely in response.

Glen immediately walked up to her, “Hello, miss, who are you?”

“Hello, I’m Crystal from the Thompson Group,” Crystal said with a smile.

“Hello, I was Glen from the Aguilar Group.”

No sooner had Glen finished speaking than Domingo also stepped forward, “So it’s Ms. Thompson, what a pleasure!”

Seeing Domingo’s familiar demeanor, Crystal asked, “Who are you?”

“Ms. Thompson, perhaps you don’t recognize me, but I certainly recognize you,” Domingo said in a seasoned manner.

“I was Domingo from the Hashville Martial Arts Union.”

“A few days ago, I saw a report about your Thompson Group. Ms. Thompson is really impressive.”

“After you took over, the Thompson Group flourished instantly, rapidly advancing from being almost top–tier in Hallcester to joining the first echelon in the Hallcester business world.”

“I truly admired and looked up to you!”

Crystal looked at Domingo’s incessant chatter with great disdain in her heart.

She just laughed and said nothing, she had seen too many men who were all talk.

“Ms. Thompson, is your necklace the legendary Cloud–Moon Necklace?” Domingo asked, his eyes lighting up.

Chapter 222 Roxie Flipped

No sooner had his voice faded than it attracted the attention of a group of young men and women.

The young masters and misses in the celebration hall all looked at the necklace hanging around Crystal’s neck.

They immediately discovered that the Cloud–Moon Necklace, which had been hyped up to an astronomical price yesterday, was actually with Crystal.

For a moment, everyone looked at Crystal with eyes full of envy.

“This Cloud–Moon Necklace was really beautiful!”

“It was the first time I saw its true form!”

“I had only heard of the legendary Cloud–Moon Necklace, priceless in value, before. Today, having seen its elegance, it truly lives up to its reputation!”

“Ms. Thompson was so beautiful, this necklace on her neck was just perfect! It was as if the Cloud–Moon Necklace was specifically made for her!”

“Ms. Thompson was the most beautiful at the celebration today!”

*本*

Crystal hadn’t expected that wearing the Cloud–Moon Necklace would attract so much attention.

She was filled with regret, originally intending to come over, deal with things quietly, and then leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the hall, I became the center of

attention.

Chapter 222 Roxie Пipped

Without Robin and some familiar friends present, she was not used to being the center of attention.

At that moment, she wanted to escape.

However, some young masters and misses from the surrounding wealthy families had already gathered around.

Every person let out a gasp of admiration.

They praised Crystal’s appearance, temperament, talent, and attire.

They raved about that Cloud–Moon Necklace.

For a moment, the crowd that had originally surrounded Roxie had almost all gathered around Crystal.

The smile on Roxie’s face instantly turned cold, her eyes maliciously glaring at Crystal under the colorful lights.

“Return the necklace to me!” A cold voice suddenly rang out in the celebration hall.

The smiles on everyone’s faces froze instantly, and the entire hall fell

silent.

They looked towards the source of the sound.

Roxie glared coldly at Crystal, her eyes flashing with a fierce, icy light.

Everyone instinctively took a step back.

Make a passage between Roxie and Crystal.

“The Cloud–Moon Necklace is mine, give it back to me! You are not worthy to wear it!” Roxie shrieked, pointing at Crystal.

Everyone looked at Roxie, then at Crystal.

Chapter 222 Roxie Flipped

Didn’t understand what was going on.

Crystal also took a while to snap back to reality.

“Did you hear what I said? Are you deaf?” Roxie scolded harshly, seeing Crystal’s stunned expression.

“What right did you have to wear such an expensive necklace? Were you worthy? Shameless woman, give me back the necklace.

immediately!”

Crystal hadn’t expected that Roxie, the young heiress of the prominent Hashville family, would shamelessly act like a hooligan and swear in front of everyone, showing no manners at all.

She sneered. “Ms. Mellor, have you had too much to drink?”

“The Cloud–Moon Necklace was bought by my friend Robin at an auction in the Fantasy Hotel for 5 billion, and was given to me.”

“How did it become yours again?”

Roxie’s eyes were bloodshot, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll say it again. I like that necklace, that necklace is mine!”

“Five billion, I can give you! However, you must take off this necklace and give it to me, and also, kneel down and apologize to me!”

“You actually competed with me to bid for this necklace at the auction, I haven’t settled this score with you yet!”

“You actually dared to come to the celebration center today, give me back the necklace!”

Crystal laughed, “Ms. Mellor, I know, you are the daughter of the leader of Hashville Martial Arts Union, your family is very powerful, but, you have no right to be so domineering and unreasonable.”

Chapter 222 Rexia Flipped

“Hehe! Talk about fairness? Whoever has the power has the right!” Roxie arrogantly lifted her head, “From childhood to adulthood, whatever I liked. I had to have!”

Crystal said coldly, “This is the birthday gift Robin gave me, I absolutely won’t give it to you!”

At that moment, a murmur of discussion echoed through the banquet hall of the celebration.

“That day at the auction, it was indeed a gentleman named Robin who bid for this necklace to give to Ms. Thompson.”

“Since it belonged to someone else, how could she forcefully demand it? This Ms. Mellor was a bit excessive.”

“Ms. Mellor had a powerful background, she liked this necklace, it was necessary to give it to her.”

“No matter how much she liked it, or that she was the daughter of the leader of the Hashville Martial Arts Union, she still had to be reasonable.”

“Stop talking, do you understand? Ms. Mellor has a very bad temper, and it wouldn’t be a good thing if you offended her.”

***

Roxie snorted coldly, a murderous glint in her eyes, “Did you hear what I said? If you don’t give it back to me, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“Mr. Gonzales, help me take off that necklace!”

Domingo hesitated, looking at Crystal, then at Roxie, “Roxie, this, this isn’t quite right, is it?”

Chapter 222 Roxie Flipped

“What did you say?” Roxie asked coldly.

Domingo immediately shut his mouth, “Ms. Mellor, I…”

“Get lost! You always claimed to like me, but you can’t even handle this matter for me. How could I ever be interested in you!”

“This…” Domingo shook his head helplessly.

Roxie glared menacingly at Crystal, advancing step by step, “I’m giving you one more chance, hand over the necklace yourself! Otherwise, I will tear your clothes off in public!”
