As soon as the host finished his words, the crowd began to stir. The host showed a satisfied expression and continued to say, "Before the auction begins, we'll have Young Master Tory to say a few words to us." The light suddenly dimmed, and then, when it was turned on again, there was already one more person on the stage. Tory Irving was dressed in black suit. He was so eye-catching under the spotlight. His handsome and gentle features hid his usual sharpness. He was looking even more gracious and elegant. The moment he appeared, it caused the female guests to scream in low voices. Even Lauren had to admit that he was a charming man. Tory's mellow voice came through the sound system and echoed in the large auction hall. "First of all, thank you for coming to today's charity auction. I can see your enthusiasm to take part in the charity. To be honest, I'm just using Jeromia's property to give to charity, so I'm really ashamed to be flattered by you."
Lauren lowered her eyes and looked at the hand he had stretched out. Her lips curled up into a smile. "I already know you, Young Master Tory. Your speech on stage just now was very touching." She didn't reach out her hand. Tory stiffened slightly. Then, he retracted his hand as if nothing had happened and smiled. "You flattered me, Miss Jones. I would like to thank you for your support on the charity cause. With this money, we can give those children with autism a better chance of recovery. It's a wonderful cause." Lauren raised her eyebrows. "So, isn't your contribution even greater?" "You can't say that. After all, we are in the position where it's reasonable for us to dedicate ourselves to the country and the people." Tory turned to Uri and asked, "Do you want to stay and attend the dinner party?" Uri shook her head and said, "I still have something to do tonight, so I won't attend. Do you want to stay?" Tory's eyes dimmed a litt
Tory smiled and said, "I forgot. Birds of a feather flock together. Of course, Young Master Jameson wouldn't know me." Tory sounded big-hearted on the surface, but in fact he was being sarcastic. He meant to say that he was not the same as Jameson whose was an illegitimate son Jameson narrowed his eyes slightly. Tory showed a proud smile and said to Uri in a low voice, "Uri, let's go!" Uri nodded. They were about to leave. They had just taken two steps when he saw Jameson frowning. Suddenly, he grabbed an entourage beside him and asked seriously, "Is he the Tory who was said to have abandoned his long-term girlfriend, and in the end, he still relied on a woman to help him get to where he is today?" The entourage was trying hard to hold back his laughter, but he still urged him in a low voice. "Young Master Jameson, don't believe everything that you've heard." "Oh! I 'm not. I just happened to think of that. Besides, I don't have tim
Her heart was pounding violently and rapidly. Lauren turned her face away from him. She was so flustered that she seemed to be avoiding Jameson. After a while, Jameson finished smoking and stood up. "Let's go!" Lauren also stood up and asked, "Where are we going?" "You just bought a house for more than 10 million, don't you want to have a look?" The two of them walked out of the Oriental Hotel and got into Jameson's SUV together. The car engine started and sped up on the road. Soon, they arrived at the foot of Mount Solstice. Lauren had not been back for many years. Unexpectedly, everything here was still the same— the traditional blue bricks and the green roof tiles; the bridges with water running below. After more than a decade, Lauren did not develop a sense of unfamiliarity towards it when she visited the place again. Lauren still remembered the time when she was sent here to learn how to paint when she was a child
When Lauren's skin touched the warm water, her whole body was relaxed. She could not help but close her eyes and sigh. It was so comfortable! After soaking in the hot tub for more than half an hour, she felt hungry. So she got up, went back to the room, changed her clothes, and made a call to order a meal. Lunch was soon served. Lauren had never paid much attention to her diet. As she sat in the living room and was eating, suddenly, the phone rang. She looked around and found that it was the landline telephone provided by the hotel. She quickly picked it up. The lady at the front desk said in a sweet voice, "Hello, is that Mr. Green?" Lauren froze for a moment. She was still holding the cutlery in her hands. Lauren said, "He's not here right now. What's the matter?" "Hello, here's the thing. There is one Miss Compton downstairs who claims to be Mr. Green's friend. She's looking for him, can you help me pass on the message?" Lauren w
Lauren rubbed her eyes and checked the time. It was 4:30 p.m. She got up and walked out of the room. She saw Jameson taking the invitation card from the table and looking at it curiously. "Your friend came here at noon. She gave it to you." Lauren lazily left a sentence and was about to turn around and return to the room. Jameson looked at her, put down the invitation card, and asked, "You didn't go out today?" Lauren said angrily, "Didn't you ask me to stay here?" In fact, Lauren just felt a little sleepy, and she was not interested in the scenery here, so she was too lazy to go out. Jameson's lips curved into a teasing smile. He seemed to be very satisfied with the fact that she had listened to him. He took off his coat, threw it aside, and sat down on the sofa. He reached out his hand and beckoned to her. "Come here." Lauren threw a side glance at him. After a long while, she still walked over slowly. Lauren
After listening to him, Lauren looked at Jameson suspiciously. "Really?" Lauren asked. Jameson raised his eyebrows. "Lauren, do you know how jealous you look right now?" Lauren flew off the handle immediately. "Go away! You're the jealous one. No one could be more jealous than you!" As she said, Lauren reached out to push him but he grabbed hold of her hand instead. He was in a good mood for some reason and laughed in a low voice. The two of them didn't return to the hotel until very late. Jameson went to Gilly's place for a short while before he came back. Judging from his attitude, he was just making an appearance for a while. Only then Lauren was slightly at ease. They slept until the next morning. The next morning, when Lauren woke up and was about to get herself a glass of water, the door creaked. She opened her sleepy eyes and watched Jameson come in. Jameson woke up early, and at this time, he had already f
Lauren paused for a moment. She was a mother of a child. How could she be still young? However, the shop assistant's words obviously pleased Jameson. He curled his lips a little and didn't even ask about the price. Waving his hand, he said, "Pack it up!" Lauren quickly stopped him. "Don't I have to try it on?" This dress was very narrow at the waist, so she was worried that it wouldn't fit her. Jameson gazed down at her and sized her up. He said, "There's no need to do that. You can definitely fit in it." She didn't know why, but when he finished his words, Lauren's face suddenly turned red. The shop assistant asked with a smile, "Sir, are you paying by card or cash?" "By card." "Okay, sir, this way please." Jameson followed the shop assistant to pay the bill, while Lauren stood in the same spot and waited patiently. Soon, he came out with the shopping bags. There was only one dress, but there were three shopping bags. W
