Chapter 85: For a average origin girl
Lindsey withdrew her hand, ignored Edward’s embarrassment, and stared at Cary with stern eyes. only to see Cary standing with his Lindsey gave Edward a sidelong glance and turned to follow him.
Cary noticed Carl’s movement and gave Edward a similarly fierce look before disappearing in a flash, Edward looked at his hand, which was still frozen in mid-air, in a cold sweat.
What a look! He simply suspected that if there were not too many people at the scene, his face would have been slapped by Lindsey. The question is who did he piss off, he just wanted to talk to Bruce alone while she wasn’t there.
Lindsey didn’t have time to care what Edward thought, couldn’t find Bruce, she didn’t mind doing it herself.
Lindsey was struggling to keep up with him with her breath and almost all her strength: “Where the hell did Bruce go?”
“Surveillance shows he went to the hotel next door.” Carl stopped dead in his tracks: “I thought you knew.”
Lindsey ignored his questioning look and sped up, rushing into the hotel lobby like a gust of wind. Tina was there when she entered, so it’s possible that she and someone else teamed up to trick Bruce on purpose.
Thinking of this layer, Lindsey’s emotions became more and more violent. She found the driver waiting in the elevator lobby, asked for the floor, and immediately pressed the floor button.
The moment the elevator door was about to close, Carl managed to squeeze in, his face was very unpleasant.
Lindsey was angry and simply didn’t look at him. Before leaving home, because Bruce said he would take care of the security issues, she did not follow everywhere. Now that something has happened, she’s the bad guy.
As the elevator stopped at the top floor, Lindsey lifted her feet and rushed out, only to see Bruce coming up to her in his wheelchair as if nothing had happened.
“I’m scared to death!” Lindsey ran to his side and pinched his arm: “Why did you suddenly come here without someone.”
“I’m fine, don’t be afraid.” Bruce held back the pain, lovingly grabbed her hand: “You said biceps are not developed enough, I’ll find someone to practice.”
Lindsey heard, subconsciously let go of his hand, nervously look at him: ” Did you get hurt?”
Bruce pulled her to sit on his lap, hands around her thin waist, happy smile open: “so easy to hurt, how can I protect you in the future.”
“You’re still joking.” Lindsey curled up her arm and gave him a blow, standing up with a cold face: “Someone blamed me for not protecting you.”
“Who has the nerve to do that? I’ll help you get rid of him.” Bruce smiled dotingly, threw a wink at Carl without moving, took Lindsey’s hand and continued to the elevator lobby.
Carl hung his head and, based on the room number, quickly crossed past them both and dashed into the guest room in one breath.
“The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
After calling the police, Cary also happened to enter the door. The two men looked at each other, tacitly sweat, grabbed one of them seems to be in good spirits, began to press for details …
Bruce took Lindsey back to the venue and the auction had already started.
“The woman slipped away, this will be hiding in Phoebe’s bachelor pad.” Charlotte groomed herself to sit next to Bruce and lowered her voice, “What are you going to do about it.”
“Do nothing, Tina still has a use for it, pushing too hard is not good for me.” Bruce smiled lightly open: “Soon it will be Christmas, Burton does not come back, Phoebe will also go to Dinghai.”
Charlotte listened, smiled openly: “Okay, you two have fun.”
Bruce nodded slightly, habitually raised his hand on Lindsey’s shoulder: “Have you seen anything you like, I’ll shoot it for you.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Lindsey shook her head with little interest: “Not yet …”
The words are halfway through, the host happened to change a jadeite lot up, she immediately looked stunned. The first price was $50, 000 for a top quality old pit glass bracelet with full green color, and the style was a bit old.
Bruce sensed her difference, a doting smile instantly flew up to his eyebrows, without the slightest hesitation, raised his card: “150, 000.”
“One hundred and fifty thousand! Once.” The host looked over in his direction and seemed a bit incredulous.
The last lot, a medieval gemstone necklace, had a starting bid of two hundred thousand. He had thought that since The Grant family was here, they would have to bid on something more expensive to match their status, but he didn’t expect that they would actually go for a small bracelet.
This quality of jade bracelet, buy outside also not much money, I do not know how he think.
Edward saw Bruce’s voice and looked down at the bidding card in his hand. His goal is a real painting of the old man Baishi, not interested in such a small thing, but still give face to raise the bidding card in his hand: “Two hundred and fifty thousand.”
Charlotte in the VIP seat blandly hooked her lips and also followed suit, raising her bid: “Three hundred and fifty thousand.”
Bruce frowned slightly, wondering why Charlotte was interfering, when he heard another bid: “Four hundred and fifty thousand.”
The head to glance over, see is his own uncle, instantly crying and laughing.
All idle it … shook his head, displeasure flickered, calmly continued to erect the sign: “Five hundred and fifty thousand.”
Edward pondered for a while and saw that Bruce wanted to shoot the bracelet to Lindsey, so he raised his card again: “Six hundred and fifty thousand.”
“Eight hundred thousand.” Bruce didn’t even look at him, and gently laughed in Lindsey’s ear, “Do you want to eat chaos or dumplings for dinner?”
Lindsey looked at him with laughter: “You do?”
The smile on Bruce’s face stagnated for a second and he wryly said, “The boiling water I boil tastes good.”
After he said that, he was not surprised to be laughed at by Lindsey. Noticing that Edward had raised his bid upward again, he gently held his sign up, “One million.”
At this price, the other VIPs in the room smelled the smell of gunpowder and raised their cards to see what was going on.
“One million one hundred thousand.”
“One million two hundred thousand.”
“One million three hundred thousand”
“…”
The bracelet’s auction price exceeded the original price by at least a hundred times, but in the blink of an eye, Phoebe turned slightly sideways and looked askance at Lindsey with hatred, clenching her fist in her palm, a trace of crimson seeping out.
If it weren’t for Lindsey, she would have been the one to take the limelight on such occasions.
The bidding continued, but only Edward and Bruce were left holding up their cards, and there was a dark tide on the floor.
Irene, who was also in the room, watched the scene with mixed feelings. If Bruce is the only one who loves Lindsey, it doesn’t mean anything. But the addition of Edward forced her to re-examine her own perceptions.
The Hawke family’s influence in the business world, Edward himself is not only a school bully, but also one of the few young talents in B City with zero scandals and zero negativity.
And right now, two men who are also standing in the clouds, actually for an insignificant bracelet, for a girl of ordinary origin, and keep hitting each other’s face with money, it is really breathtaking.
Out of the mind, the moderator’s voice was heard in his ears: “Five million!”
At this moment, the whole room shook, not only Irene, Phoebe, even Lindsey was confused.
