After the auction ended, Lance received the jewelry necklace. Despite numerous reporters intending to interview Lance, he completely Ignored them and immediately walked towards me.
He personally put on the necklace that he had spent one hundred million to buy for me.
Under the numerous flashes, they captured this sweet moment
We were being interviewed, and one billion was already a great contribution for the charity cause.
Zachary, who was left hanging on the side, had a solemn expression on his face as he angrily looked in our direction. His hands clenched into fists, indicating that he was still jealous because of what happened between me and Lance.
Keira was unwilling, thinking that she had finally won against me by taking Zachary away from my side. However, she did not expect that Zachary still cared about me.
Keira harbored resentment in her heart as she drank red wine and chatted with other guests at the banquet after Lance and I finished
the interview.
Out of the blue, I was bumped by Keira, and the red wine in her hand spilled onto me. My light–colored dress got stained, and even the newly acquired necklace worth a billion dollars is now dirty.
When I glared at Keira in anger, I saw her pretending to be innocent, with red eyes, and repeatedly waving her hands, “I’m sorry, Catherine, I didn’t mean to…”
“Are you blind? What are you bumping into me for?” I naturally didn’t have a good expression towards Keira, my gaze was even more fierce, and my language was more aggressive.
“Catherine, what are you doing? Keira already said it wasn’t intentional, why are you making things difficult for her?” Zachary defended Reira
At this moment, Keira had already burst into tears, rubbing her eyes and attracting the attention of everyone around her. If someone didn’t know, they would have thought that someone had died in her family!
“Catherine, I really didn’t mean to…” Her voice choked up, tinged with a hint of uneasiness.
I laughed and looked down at her, “Stop pretending, it was you who spilled red wine all over me. Why are you crying?”
I stood still, my face turned serious.
Keira pouted in grievance and looked at me with a gentle gaze, “Catherine, I’m sorry. How much did this dress cost? Can I compensate you for it?
I sneered, “Alright then, since you have such a good attitude, I won’t make it difficult for you. Let’s calculate and see how much money you have to compensate!”
“I was bought this height and necklace by Lance, Lance, you better figure things out with her!”
Lance was taken aback when he heard me affectionately calling him Lance. There was a hint of joy in his heart, but he quickly realized.
He stood by my side, looking like someone not to be messed with. His face was stern, and he coldly said, “This haute couture piece is the latest design of the year, worth thirty million in the market!”
“And this becklace, I just bought it for one billion, it is a very ancient object. Even if I want to send it for repair, it will probably cost more than fifty million!”
“Keita, you needed to compensate us with eighty million!”
these words were spolen, everyone present couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
That’s ko mallion! Not to mention Keira, a girl with no background, even wealthy businessmen who are also in business would feel the
Keira widened her eyes, full of terror, as she was frightened by the enormous amount..
She had never seen so much money in her entire life, and her tears increased even more, falling down pitter–patter.
But her pitiful and delicate act had no effect on Lance at all. Lance even emphasized the deadline for compensation, “Keira, I’ll give you two days to transfer eighty million to the Hoover Group’s account. Otherwise, Keira, be prepared to receive a lawyer’s letter!”
Keira was completely dumbfounded. She never expected that a small action would require her to compensate eighty million.
Keira’s eyes were pitiful and pleading as she looked at Zachary, hoping that he could help her. Her small hand clung to Zachary’s as her voice trembled, “Zachary, can you please help me? If I get this money, I will definitely pay you back…”
However, 80 million is still a significant amount for Zachary, who is no longer the heir, and he simply cannot come up with that much
money.
Zachary had a gloomy expression on his face as he, in front of everyone, forcefully let go of Keira’s hand and stared at her with the demeanor of a stranger. “Miss, do I know you?”
Keira stood still, looking at Zachary in disbelief.
I held Lance’s arm, with a curved brow and eyes, smiling as I watched Keira’s performance.
Is this the result?
It seems that the man she took away from me was also useless! At such a crucial moment, I disregarded her!
Keira glared at me resentfully and reluctantly agreed to Lance’s request.
After the charity gala ended, I voluntarily asked to go home with Lance.
Lance’s villa was very large, and overall it was clean and tidy, even his bedroom was spotless.
Because Lance became the heir, his w work became even busier than before. At this moment, he is still working in the study, so let me rest
early.
I sat on Lance’s bed, feeling extremely nervous. I looked around anxiously, trying to gather insights about Lance’s true character from the details in the bedroom.
and there
I unintentionally opened his bedside table, was a photo of me inside. Surprisingly, it was a picture of me from high school, wearing the exact school uniform I had back then.
What is the situation?
I was confused, but I saw a notebook and a contract underneath the photo.
I first looked at the contract, which was a company transfer agreement, and the company being transferred on it was the very company I was supposed to design for. The recipient of the transfer was my name, and I was astonished.
The paper of the contract has become a bit old, not recent. I realized it when I looked at the date, it was the year I started my freshman. year in college. The company was also established in September of that same year, isn’t it the same day I started school?
Could it be that this jewelry company was opened by Lance for me?
