Keira hooked her arm around Zachary’s, a smug smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, as she looked at me with a haughty.
expression
I realized in my heart that Zachary was also on the invitation list for the charity gala, but I was unaware of this. It turns out that he had no intention of bringing me, but instead wanted to bring Keira.
Keira caught my gaze and got even closer to Zachary
Keira’s dress was nice, it was also a light–colored long skirt, but it was much inferior compared to mine, and moreover, the one she was wearing was the one I had worn before, yet she treated it like a treasure.
Zachary looked at me holding Lance’s arm and immediately felt jealous, “How can you hold his arm? Let go!”
I looked at him coldly, gripping Lance’s hand even tighter. I sarcastically remarked, “You sure have a broad range of concerns, my dear
brother–in–law!”
“I don’t know if you have ever heard a saying called ‘A good dog doesn’t block the way“,”
Zachary and Keira blocked our way and refused to leave, and I didn’t want to look at Zachary anymore. After finding out that he had
deceived me, I just felt disgusted by him.
Zachary’s face looked unpleasant, and he refused to give up his seat.
“Didn’t you hear what your sister–in–law said? Move aside!” Lance’s voice was deep
Zachary’s figure twisted, with a black face, he pulled Keira aside and made way for us.
We entered the venue, Zachary and 1, one after the other.
Soon, someone discovered the clue.
Isn’t that Catherine? Wasn’t she Zachary’s fiancée? How come she’s with Lance?
“Yeah? Zachary also had an unfamiliar woman with him.”
and intimidating
“Hiss… How should I put it? The women around Zachary just don’t compare to Catherine in terms of elegance and grace. What’s the matter with this Zachary?”
“Has Lance blossomed like an iron tree? He actually has a woman by his side? Wasn’t he always without a female companion?”
The guests whispered among themselves, but I, with a smirk on my lips, teasingly hooked Lance’s chin and asked, “You’ve never been in love before, really?
Lance, however, grabbed my waist, bringing us closer, and whispered, “I only want to talk to you.”
it that moment, my heart raced and my cheeks turned red.
The charity auction began, and I sat next to Lance in the front row, allowing me to have a more direct view of the auction items.
“If you have someone you like, just tell me, I’ll take care of it for you!” Lance said with his unique masculine charm
Foodded vigorously, with Lance around, I wouldn’t be polite at all!
I didn’t like the previous few items until a jewelry necklace appeared, which was designed many years ago, wa jewelry designer
but it had great
reat value for the
I grabbed Lance’s arm and said, “I want this.”
Lance received the signal and raised his sign, saying, “Thirty million!”
Keita sat behind us and, seeing that it was my initiative, she tugged at Zachary’s arm and coquettishly said, “Zachary, I also want this, can you help me with the filming?
As other guests bid, Zachary raised his paddle and shouted, “Forty million!”
His price only increased by two million compared to the previous bidder.
Lance didn’t even pay attention to Zachary and continued, “Fifty million!”
Perhaps due to the competitive nature between men, Zachary refused to give up, and the two of them argued incessantly, eventually reaching a price of one billion.
Zachary was no longer the heir, and there wasn’t as much property at his disposal. He could only watch as the necklace fell into our
hands.
Zachary’s face looked unpleasant, but Keira, who was unaware of the truth, became unhappy and started to throw a tantrum at Zachary.
And I, on the other hand, watched all of this with a smile.
