Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111: I Like It a Little Rougher (Part 1)
Abel asked disinterestedly, “What’s in it for me if I win?”
Betty reached for the phone, pulled up a photo, and threw it into his lap. “If you win, it’s yours!”
Abel took the phone, looked at the screen, and upon seeing the item, immediately sat up straight.
“Is it with you?”
On the screen was a finely crafted silver vase, ancient in appearance. Abel immediately recognized it as the vase he failed to acquire at the auction before.
“If you lose, you’ll have to give me your vase!” Betty said.
Abel turned his face with some surprise, watched her profile for a moment, and finally understood, bursting into laughter, “So that’s why you hold a grudge against me. It turns out you were the one bidding against me two years ago at the auction.”
Two years ago, he had his eye on a gilded vase at an auction in Eastern Europe, constantly outbid by another until he finally won.
Later, in Asia, a matching vase to the one he bought appeared, and when he rushed over to negotiate, someone else beat him to it.
Betty looked at him provocatively, “So, Mr. Love Guru, do you dare to bet?”
That pair of vases had always been something his grandmother wanted. She initially intended to buy it as a birthday gift for her grandmother, only to have it snatched away by him at the auction, leaving Betty almost steaming with anger.
Afterward, she specifically looked into his identity and tried several times to have someone purchase it but was repeatedly refused by Abel. Naturally, she wouldn’t have a good impression of him.
Abel raised an eyebrow, “What if you fall in love with me and refuse to admit it?”
Betty thought for a moment, “If, within a month, you can sleep with me, it’s a win for you. If you can’t, obediently give me the vase.”
“At that point, you won’t desperately want to marry me, will you?” Abel asked with a laugh.
“Rest assured. If I lose, I’ll hand over the vase and never bother you again.”
Anyway, she was sure she wouldn’t lose!
Abel looked at the vase on the phone screen, “I’ll consider it. But let’s change the rules. I won’t sleep with you. If you agree to kiss me, it’s a win for me! Let’s reduce it to a week, I don’t have that much time to play with you!”
Besides women, his greatest hobby was antiques. He’d been looking for this vase for a long time. If it truly was in her possession, then it was a godsend.
However, he didn’t really want to get involved with this little girl. After all, she had a noble status as a princess, and it would be trouble if things went too far and the girl genuinely fell for him.
Betty extended her right hand toward him, “Deal!”
Extending his palm, holding her slender fingers, Abel bent down to lightly peck upon the back of her hand.
“Speaking of which, I just noticed you’re quite adorable!”
Betty pulled her hand back, grabbing a tissue to wipe the back of her hand in disgust.
“I always knew you were detestable!”
She continued driving while Abel leaned back in the chair and squinted his eyes.
The little girl seemed quite hard to deal with, but that was fine. It added to the challenge. Truth be told, he hadn’t seriously pursued a woman in a long time. For the sake of the vase, he’d get serious just this once.

F Country, Royal Palace.
In the small banquet hall, by the side of a luxurious table, several parliament members had already arrived early and taken their seats.
A moment later, footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed by several figures filing in. Seeing these individuals, everyone at the table swiftly stood up.
