?<strong>Chapter 1221:</strong>


    Everyone fell silent, shocked by Healy’s words. At this moment, the host of the banquet noticed that the situation had escted. He quickly stepped forward to mediate.


    “You two, let’s talk things out…”


    But before the host could finish his words, Lilian interrupted, “Get out of the way!”


    She pushed the host aside, raised her chin, and said disdainfully, “Since you’re asking for trouble, I will grant it. I ept the bet. Remember to pack your things when you go back so as not to dy things when you are kicked out of Estresa.”


    Healy looked at Lilian deeply, turned around, and left.


    The news of the dramatic showdown between Healy and Lilian at the banquet, as well as their established bet, dominated conversations across Estresa that night. Even the NCI channel discussed it.


    When Healy returned to the Welch family’s house, his family did not me him too much. They only sighed and patted him on the shoulder.


    Their reaction only made Healy even more upset. He swore in his heart that he would do his best to beat Lilian.


    At that moment, many people in the industry analyzed the situation between Healy and Lilian.


    “If Lilian didn’t get J’s help, Healy could have the chance to beat her. But with the support of J’s assets, the probability of Healy winning is very small.”


    To make matters worse, Lilian talked to several low-ranked yers and seized their assets, imitating the way she didst time with J.


    Madisyn logged into NCI again and found several topics about her on the public channel. She frowned as she skimmed through the threads and found the conversations all centered around J’s supposed sycophantic behavior.


    After understanding the whole situation, Madisyn frowned. At this moment, a new message popped up.


    “One bad apple spoils the bunch.” It was from Healy.


    These past few days, Healy had been thinking of ways to develop his business. He started in real estate development on NCI, making stable and careful investments. Now, he had umted vast wealth, ranking fifth on the list.


    But for him, real estate had already reached its peak. Only by expanding into other areas could he surpass Lilian. However, Lilian had convinced a few people and swallowed their assets, offsetting his gains from the past few days.


    Out of frustration, Healy sent a private message to J to condemn her. But after sending the message, he realized that arguing with someone as awful as J was futile. Perhaps she wouldn’t even care, just like Lilian. Healy was about to unsend the message when he suddenly saw J’s reply.


    “Mr. Welch, are you interested in moving your ranking up, at least above Lilian?”


    Madisyn couldn’t stand Lilian’s bullying, especially since one of her principles was to do what was right and refrain from doing what was wrong. So, she decided to help Healy.


    Healy stared at Madisyn’s words for a while before he responded warily, “What do you mean?”


    J replied, “Mr. Welch, you will understand after reading this n.” Madisyn’s high-tech industrialpany had already achieved breakthrough development. Now, she was about to expand and prepare for a public listing. Partnering with Healy’s real estatepany, along with controlling the portter on, could create a vast opportunity for him.
