The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 117

With a smug look on her face, Ellinor said, "I'm not telling you!"

Byran glared at her unhappily, "Whatever, blabber if you want! I don't have time for you right now! I'll deal with you when I'm free!"

With that, he hustled off as if he had some pressing matter.

Ellinor turned her head in search of Sheila, only to find that she was gone. Sheila and the middle-aged man had disappeared.

She looked around, but there was still no sign of Sheila. Instead, she saw a group of young guys around Byran's age, hot on Byran's tail.

"There's Byran! He's heading that way!"

"Get him!"

"Byran, stop! No hiding!"

Byran picked up the pace, darting out of the banquet hall, only to be cornered in the hallway by the group.

"Byran, are you a man or not? Can't admit that you lost?"

There was nowhere left for Byran to go. He glared at them, "I never denied it!"

"Well then, accept the consequences of losing the bet! You lost the game to us; now fulfill the agreement!"

Byran retorted defiantly, "I didn't lose! I played fair and you guys cheated!"

The ring leader, Julius Gaye, smirked, "When we started the game, no one said we couldn't use special tactics!"

With that, he waved the bet agreement in front of Byran, "You signed this. You lost the game we agreed upon, so hand over the ownership of Pearl Moon to our family!"

Byran's face darkened, "Although Pearl Moon belongs to us, I can't decide its ownership. I can't fulfill this bet."

Julius sneered at him, laughing scornfully, "Why would you bet on something you can't deliver? Weren't you all high and mighty claiming that everything of the Howard family’s is at your disposal? Turns out it was all hot air!"

Byran's face grew even more sour; he spat out angrily, "You guys ganged up on me; that's the only reason I lost!"
