You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 179 : Money

“Welcome, Adam!” A remote-controlled mid-size white panda robot greeted Adam when he entered his

new classroom. The robot was carrying an LED board with lit letters prompting it.

WELCOME ADAM

“Awesome!” Adam sounded so amazed as his smile was up to his ears. He had not seen a real robot in

real life. His excitement reached to peak when he saw how huge the classroom was for only 5

students. There’s an area for an experimental laboratory. A boy was standing there waving at him.

Then in the corner, there are some parts of metals and welding equipment like a mechanic room. One

boy was also standing there and waving at him. A boy who had his own library was sitting behind his

big table and a wide glass board on the wall covered with handwritten formulas and equations. Another

boy was standing in his office. He looked like a diplomat in his black suit and tie. In the middle were a

big table and a huge wall-mounted screen and keyboard. Without asking anyone there, Adam already

knew his place.

“Bonjour! Bienvenue dans notre classe, Adam!” The boy came out his office and shook Adam’s hand

formally. “Appelez-moi Ben.” The boy added.

“Merci,” Adam answered him. His French wasn’t that good but he knew some basics through his

readings.

“I’m Kent.” The tall boy in the library also came over to shake his hand.

“I’m Luke.” The fat mechanic boy strode forward.

“And that is Ivan,” Luke added pointing in the direction of the white boy wearing a white lab gown.

“Nice to meet you all guys.” Adam greeted them cheerfully. He felt satisfied with the atmosphere of his

new classroom with the bunch of geniuses. Except for Ivan who was an introvert type, the rest were all

bubbly and friendly.

Adam was having fun in his new school and with new classmates. He already met his four genius

buddies. Kent was the tallest among all of them but he’s the thinnest. He was a mathematician. Ben

was the cheerful one who talks a lot. He knew 50 different languages and he talked all the time. Ivan

had no talk policy and he consider himself a scientist. Luke was the fattest who built robots. All robots

he made were all fat as him. What they have in common was they were all wearing big round black-

rimmed eyeglasses and a red jumper uniform.

Adam could say his first day in school is so far so good.

“Stop!” Adam heard the bully's voice again. Mr. George picked him up and explained the business trip

of his parents.

Adam and George looked at the owner of the voice. Clark with his two buddies was standing behind

them both wearing oppressors looks.

Without any fear traced on his face, Adam looked at them and asked. “What’s wrong Clark?”

George was a bit alarmed. He didn’t expect that the most high-end school in the city had also some

bullies.

Rich kid bullies!

Mr. Sky strictly asked him to watch on Adam so he had no room for mistake. These kids would greatly

suffer in his hand if they would even try to touch just a strand of his boss’ precious son.

“Hmmm… Nothing.” Clark laughed while answering Adam. He just wanted to order the new star without

anything to say. Seeing Adam's companion's strong expression, Clark changed his plan.

George was a little vex already. The boy was such annoying and provoking.

“Well then. Bye.” Adam answered and turned around without fright. He already knew Clark’s purpose. It

seemed Clark was the leader of bullying in his new school. He would not fight with him as long as he

would not cross his boundaries. He just wanted to have a peaceful environment in the school as his

house now was already suffocating. His mom and dad were all stubborn pus his grandma Kelly was

also there watching their every move.

Adam heaved a sigh of frustration while he was inside his car.

“Young Master, are you okay? Are you scared of those bullies?” Sitting in front, George didn’t miss

Adam’s upset expression.

“Mr. George, I am okay,” Adam answered plainly. “Mr. George, please don’t call me young master

again. Please call me again.” Adam added with a friendly tone.

“Oh.” George’s heart skipped a beat. How could he do that? Adam was his boss’ son. The mighty and

great Bill Sky. The richest man in the country. “Okay. Adam.” He added seeing him waiting for his

answer. Judging from Adam’s upset expression, he had no choice but to agree to his request.

“That’s great Mr. George!” Adam’s face was lightened up. “Now, we are friends.” Adam gave him his

hand to shake. George was a bit hesitant but not to get Adam upset he shook Adam’s hand. “Young

ma…Adam, yes. We are friends.” George answered confirming their level-up relationship.

Meanwhile,

Arabella was wearing a red glittery mini dress. The dress embraced his curves perfectly. Her long white

flawless legs were flaunted barely. One could gulp saliva just seeing her beautiful pair of legs. Her

collarbone was shown very sexy with the cut of her dress. Her cleavage was shown since the cut

draws her chest in a tube style.

After a hairdresser and make-up artist made her up, she was sent to a fitting room. Bill closed the

whole luxury 5 story store to cater to them.

Arabella was very uncomfortable with her look. Bill picked it up and purposely let her wear the sexy

dress. He was waiting for her outside with the other store girls.

Arabella looked at herself in the mirror. She heaved a deep sigh before she opened the curtain and

went out.

Bill was reading a magazine when she prompted in front of him.

Seeing her glittery shoes, Bill slowly lifted his head to look at her.

Arabella didn’t want to meet his eyes so she averted her gaze everywhere switching directions but Bill

stood up and held her chin.

His touch instantly gave her a jump scare. She felt a tingling sensation running all over her body.

She wanted to dodge but seeing other people, she looked at him.

Their eyes met. She could not see any emotions on his face. She could not tell if he liked her dress or

not. He had no trace of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. His handsome face was stern while he leaned

closer to her. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He seemed going to kiss her. She suddenly felt her cheeks were hot.

Her neck felt cold and hot. She couldn’t explain.

In just a second, she could feel something cold and heavy on her neck. She quickly looked down and

saw a shimmering necklace with a very big diamond in the center. One look, she knew it was a very

expensive necklace. Her nervousness heightened. How could she afford to lose it? What if she would

accidentally tremble anywhere and the necklace would drop without her knowing. She would be

doomed.

“This necklace. I can’t wear this.” She uttered uncomfortably with strong refusal. Her mind was in a very Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

great mess. Is Bill purposely doing this for her to lose the necklace and add another dilemma for her?

“You have to.” Bill just answered with a lazy tone.

The 4 store girls who were assisting Arabella had shown jealousy on their faces. Everyone would want

to try to wear the necklace but not Arabella. If only they could offer their selves to wear the necklace,

they would probably compete with each other by any means just to wear the expensive intricate

necklace.

After the necklace, Bill put her diamond dangling earrings. She was now like an expensive life-size

walking chandelier that no one could afford only the man in front of her.

After he personally put on the jewelry, Bill looked at her from head to toe. His cold eyes were

scrutinizing her like if she was going to pass with his taste. Arabella suddenly felt shy and nervous as

she maintained her head low. Then after a while, Bill nodded in satisfaction.

“Let’s go.” He then ordered striding ahead of her with large steps. Arabella felt annoyed at how

insensible the man was. He knew that he was wearing high heels but he had no care about her not

even offering his arm to her.

They arrived at the event hall. Mr. Clinton invited them to attend a private charity dinner. When they

entered the room, all eyes landed on them. Bill with his black tuxedo was effortlessly stunning and sexy

with a sturdy tall figure. His powerful domineering demeanor was screaming. Arabella on the other

hand was like a shining goddess with a very fierce figure. They suddenly became the star of the night

as one found it hard to avert their gazes from them. Men and women in the venue got more excited and

became livelier seeing the enchanting Arabella and the most handsome CEO, Bill Sky.

Arabella saw dignitaries and famous billionaires she could only see on tv and on the internet. It was just

a small crowd and she could easily tell those were only Bill’s billionaires’ circle.

The main highlight of the dinner was the auction session. Arabella’s mind was not in the event but with

Adam. She just agreed to all Bill’s demands because she just wanted to go back with her son

immediately without any problem. She decided to play an obedient dog as she could feel her

stubbornness would just lead her to danger especially she was in a foreign city.

Arabella saw the men had their escorts. Some have 2 to 3 women on their sides. Observing the event,

there’s only one thing she could say, there’s nothing money can’t buy. She shook her head to get rid of

her thoughts.

“Mr. Sky, welcome to my event.” A familiar voice came in front of them. It’s Mr. Clinton with superstar

models side by side. He shook Bill’s hand then he stretched his arms to grab his escorts' waists but his

eyes were with Arabella.

“It’s my honor,” Bill answered formally.

Mr. Clinton was the owner of F city. He was known for his charitable works through his billionaire

networks. Since it was about charity, he could always reach the famous dignitaries and billionaires all

over the world who supported charities until it became an annual event.

“I would like to welcome also the most beautiful star at this party.” Mr. Clinton walked closer to Arabella

and suddenly he held her hand and kiss it. It was so quick that Arabella had no time to react to it. She

was stunned but tried to compose herself as she put up a smile in front of everyone.

“It’s my pleasure.” She answered him politely. Hearing her voice, Mr. Clinton’s eyes sparkled. He

seemed delighted to her answer.

“Mr. Clinton the auction session will start now. “His model escort whispered to remind him then Arabella

could feel a squeeze in her hand before Mr. Clinton released it. “See you later, Sweetheart.” He then

added in a playful but low voice.

Seeing Mr. Clinton’s expression, Arabella wanted to vomit on the spot but she held it. What a dirty old

man! She cursed him in her mind. She then looked at Bill without any reaction. She wanted to cry for

help from him but what would she expect from an arrogant cold jerk?

“See you later, sweetheart.” Mr. Clinton’s words and his pervert expression flashed across her mind

again. Nervous and panic were synchronizing at each other. She wanted to run away from the venue

but she couldn’t. She was caught in a big dilemma. What if Bill would sell her to him? She didn’t know

how a billionaire’s mind works. What if selling a human was part of a billionaires’ game? She couldn’t

help but release a deep sigh as she shook her head to calm herself down.

Mr. Clinton walked to the auction hall and they followed. They all sat in front of the stage as the most

respectable and VIP. She sat beside Bill as she felt it was her safest place for the moment. It was her

first time attending this kind of event and she could not believe the amount of a certain piece cost half a

billion and some exceeded.

‘Wow! Where do they get all their money?’ She thought in disbelief. Then he looked at Bill who was

sitting like a king waiting to be served. He was calm and still wearing his powerful striking

temperament. He was intimidating to look at. She could say it as no one in the room sat beside them.

In the blink of an eye, the last piece was soon up for auction. The picture of the last item suddenly

flashed on the big screen. Arabella's eyes grew wider seeing the item on the big screen. It’s the

necklace that she was wearing. She suddenly felt nervous as all eyes landed on her.

“May I call on Ms. Arabella, please come here in front for them to have a closer look at it.” The host

called her name. She was in panic and was eaten by her nervous but she tried her best to suppress it.

Her brain spun quickly and her eyes swept around the room. She could smell money from the crowd’s

presence. She wanted to ask Bill for help but Bill’s gaze was already in front. She slowly stood up and

headed in front with her heart thumping to the highest rate. The crowd was in an uproar as everyone’s

eyes were focused on Arabella.

“500 million! The item and the model!” Someone raised his bidding paddle without any hesitation.
