Frank’s offer left the crowd in an uproar.
“A hundred million?!”
“Shit, where did he come from? Tipping a hundred million just to mess with Willy Sorano?!”
“What?” Kat was gaping at Frank from the stage too, asking in uncertainty, “Where would you get a hundred million dollars, Master Lawrence?”
“Don’t bother. Just start singing,” Frank replied.
Kat rolled her eyes, but she was still worried. “Just stop. You’re overdoing it.”
“I refuse.” Frank smiled faintly.
“Hey!” Kat snapped.
“Kat… I think we should just go,” Lily said nearby, her head aching.
She just wanted to sing and rise to stardom and help her family.
All she felt was pain, getting caught in this rich kids’ dispute.
“I don’t think we’re going anywhere, Lily,” Rosa said, pointing at one of the 1.9 meter-tall bodyguards standing nearby.
Lily then realized that Eder was definitely not going to spare a golden goose like them—not when the tip was raised to one hundred million dollars!
On the other hand, the guests could hear what Frank and Kat were saying—and Soren certainly could, as he sat nearby.
Once he read into it, his eyes lit up and he sprang up, laughing coldly at Frank. “Don’t raise so quickly. Do you even have that much money to win against Mr. Sorano? What if you’re just talking tough?”
“Exactly.” Mandy sneered. “The way I see it, he can’t even afford ten million. He just wants to show off.”
“Hmm?” Willy did a double take, his eyes lingering on Soren as he asked flatly, “Aren’t you two together?”
“Of course not, Mr. Sorano.” Soren nodded politely at Willy with a fawning smile. “Hell, I don’t like him—but I had to let him sit here since there’s nowhere else for him to sit.”
“I see.” Willy sneered as he turned back to Frank. “Well then—if you want to raise me, you’d better have the money like that boy said.”
Gesturing at Eder, he snapped, “Go—check if he actually has a hundred million dollars for that tip in his account.”
“Yes, Mr. Sorano,” Eder hurried away, but soon returned scowling, flinging the card at Frank as he snapped, “You only have five cents left in your account, sir! You should know your limits sir!”
“Hahaha!!!” Soren guffawed, while Mandy was actually crying from laughter.
At the same time, everyone else turned toward Kat, who was so embarrassed that she could hide.
“Why did you have to talk tough if you don’t have the money?!” she muttered under her breath, blaming Frank.
