My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 799 - 798: One Million per Centimeter (3/3)

The doorman, with trembling hands, eagerly took the invitation handed over by Esther Joyce, his heart almost leaping out of his throat.

He made up his mind that when the party was over, he would definitely steal the badge from the banquet!

This invitation card, he could keep it forever!

Mike v. Adams was in disbelief because Esther Joyce had never invited a man to attend a banquet, and the Joyce family had never invited outsiders to this gathering!

More importantly, Esther Joyce was his designated woman, and no one could take her from him!

At this moment, Mike v. Adams already bore a grudge against Yang Chen.

But there were rules at the banquet: if a guest was invited in the name of a family, they were qualified to attend the gathering.

Now, even he couldn't say much about it.

He could only watch as Yang Chen and Esther Joyce walked into the banquet.

Others were also very surprised. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Although Esther Joyce had always been performing, she had never shown any ambiguous behavior with any man, nor had she ever dated anyone. In everyone's eyes, Esther Joyce was akin to an icy and pure Saintess.

They couldn't fathom how someone like Yang Chen, a Flame Country national, could gain Esther Joyce's favor.

"Let's talk over there." Yang Chen pointed to a corner; he didn't want too much attention.

"Okay!" Esther Joyce didn't refuse and directly followed Yang Chen over.

Seeing this, everyone was even more incredulous.

Their goddess, Esther Joyce, had never gotten so close to any man, let alone sat alone in a corner with one.

Almost everyone at that moment resented Yang Chen, wishing they could tear him to shreds!

Sitting in the corner, Esther Joyce spoke the first words.

"After that time, why didn't you get in touch with me?"

Yang Chen felt a moment of awkwardness.

Back when he was on a mission in Dai Li Country, he happened to encounter Esther Joyce being kidnapped.

Yang Chen saved Esther Joyce in passing.

As a result, Esther Joyce clung to him.

Back then, Yang Chen was quite the flirt and naturally teased her a bit…

The result was foreseeable; even now, Esther Joyce hadn't forgotten him.

Yang Chen was contemplating how to respond to smooth things over.

But Mike v. Adams walked over and said to Esther Joyce, "Esther, there are a lot of friends over there, let's go have a drink!"

Esther Joyce glanced at Mike v. Adams and shook her head, saying, "Sorry Mike, I already have a male companion, and I want to stay here with him."

"Male companion?" Hearing these words, Mike v. Adams' eye twitched, and he immediately gave Yang Chen a cold stare, "You're Esther's male companion?"

Yang Chen shrugged. Though he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed true that Esther Joyce had brought him in.

"I want you to leave Esther immediately! Someone like you from Flame Country is not worthy of her!" Mike v. Adams said coldly.

Esther Joyce was immediately displeased, standing up and glaring at Mike v. Adams, saying, "Mike! How can you talk to my male companion like that?"

"Your male companion? Don't joke around, Esther, he's from Flame Country, how can he be worthy of you! You are my goddess, you should be with me!" Mike v. Adams told Esther Joyce.

Esther Joyce was very angry, her face icy, glaring at Mike v. Adams and saying coldly, "I now demand you immediately apologize to my male companion!"

A flash of anger appeared in Mike v. Adams' eyes; he hadn't expected Esther Joyce to actually want him to apologize to Yang Chen!

That was simply impossible!

Noticing the commotion, people holding wine glasses gathered around. Enjoying the spectacle wasn't just a trait of Flame Country people; it was a global issue.

Mike v. Adams took out a checkbook, wrote a long string of zeros, and handed it to Yang Chen, saying, "I'm offering you one million Northern Federation currency, please leave immediately!"

Everyone looked on with a sneer.

Among those present, all were high society elites, yet none of them knew Yang Chen, or had even heard of him.

Based on his attire, in Dai Li Country, the arts capital, everyone wore customized formal suits and shoes, each piece priceless.

But Yang Chen's outfit was what could be described as humble.

While also branded clothing, compared to the custom suits others wore, it was like a drop in the ocean, extremely modest.

One million Northern Federation currency might be a fortune for someone from Flame Country, and they thought Yang Chen couldn't resist such a temptation.

Yet, surprisingly, Yang Chen shook his head.

Esther Joyce's expression turned stern, staring at Mike v. Adams and saying angrily, "Mike! You're insulting my friend! I demand you apologize immediately!"

This time, Esther Joyce was genuinely angry.

Mike v. Adams didn't care at all, took out the checkbook and wrote another round of zeros, adding it to the previous check, and said coldly, "Two million Northern Federation currency, leave immediately! Don't be ungrateful!"

In his anger, Mike v. Adams resorted to threats.

Everyone knew Mike v. Adams was a youth leader of the Black Claw Faction in Dai Li Country, and that he wasn't joking.

Yang Chen thought for a while, then reached out and took Mike v. Adams' check.

Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Mike v. Adams' face.

Some male companion, just a money-grubbing churl.

Esther Joyce looked at Yang Chen in disbelief, unable to accept that Yang Chen would sell himself out for merely two million Northern Federation currency!

Others also mocked.

"I knew it, he would definitely take it."

"Two million, for someone from Flame Country, isn't small."

"Exactly, take the money and leave!"

"Daring to compete with Mike for a woman is courting death!"

…

Yet Yang Chen paid no attention to their words, carefully examining the check, and asked, "Can I cash it directly?"

Mike v. Adams said with disdain, "As long as you're in Dai Li Country, you can cash it at any bank!"

"That's great!" Yang Chen cheerfully put the check away.

"You!" Esther Joyce was filled with disbelief, her eyes showing some disappointment.

Mike v. Adams looked at Yang Chen with contempt, saying coldly, "You've got the money, now leave!"

"No!" Yang Chen wagged a finger in front of Mike v. Adams, saying, "One million per centimeter, I'll always keep a two-centimeter distance from Esther. If you want me further away, just offer more."

"What!" Mike v. Adams' eyes widened, unable to contain his surging anger.
