They had dinner in peace. After the meal, Jara went back to his study to work, while Emmeline asked Yunne to watch TV with her in the living room. In the past, she did not like to watch TV series because she thought it was a waste of time and quite boring. However, since she had been injured during this period of time and had to stay at home every day, she became more patient. Gradually, she developed the mood to watch these things. The two of them sat on the sofa, each holding a bag of potato chips, watching as they ate. One of the plots in the TV series was about the supporting actress, who used some tricks to confuse the male lead so that he would misunderstand that the female lead was the one who stole the company's information. Suddenly, Yunne blurted, "This style is comparable to Kayla's." Surprised, Emmeline turned to look at her. With a teasing smile, she said, "She's already gone, but your resentment against her hasn't subsided yet."
When it came to a matter of the Jade of Heaven, Jara didn't mention any of it to Isaac because it involved too many things. Furthermore, Isaac did not know that four and a half years ago, the pendant was the reason for the war between Salvation Club and Lost Vanguard. Therefore, when he found out that Jara, who had never enjoyed attending such occasions, actually appeared, he even laughed and teased. "Jara, now that you have a lover, it seems like you're different now. In the past, you would stay at home and won't go anywhere, but now, you're actually in the mood to attend an auction? But, honestly, there are really a few good things today. I heard that those pieces of jewelry were worn by the Queen of the Uqobia from the royal family. They must be very expensive. You can have a look." Hearing that, Jara glanced at him impassively. "I'm not interested in that." Immediately, Isaac put on a look of disappointment and said, "Hey, I'm not saying that you are..
As soon as Emmeline said that, Isaac's white and tender face suddenly turned red. Stuttered, he was afriad to admit nor deny it. He was afraid that Esme would fly into a rage out of humiliation and leave him at once if something went wrong. That way, they couldn't even be friends in the future. Therefore, when he heard Emmeline's words, he was a little flustered. Immediately, he turned to look at Esme, only to find that she was not angry at all. Instead, she was smiling and looking at him slyly. "I see. Emmeline, I really don't know if you did't tell me." Realizing that she was not angry, Isaac heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Esme, I... I wanted to buy gifts for you not because I wanted to pursue you, but I—I really think that you are a wonderful person, and you deserved the best things in the world. I..." The more he spoke, the more he wished he could bite off his own tongue. His tongue was usually
In the past four years, the Lost Vanguard had been in chaos and had disintegrated along the way. The domestic situation had also become complicated because of the dispute between the Hollands and the Jordans. It must have been really difficult for him all these years, and it was probably very dangerous too. Therefore, if there was such a thing, at least it could really ensure his safety. While Emmeline was thinking about it secretly, suddenly, a warm hand reached out again and quietly held her hand in the dark. As if their hearts were linked, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other again. They could see the moving and affectionate expressions in each other's eyes. Realizing that, Emmeline was stunned. Somehow, at that moment, she felt a warm feeling welling up in her heart. A different kind of emotion sprouted from the bottom of her heart, making her a little flustered. In a hurry, she pulled a
But now, it was presented by the Marsh Family? How... how could this be possible? Upon receiving the news, both of them were shocked. After all, there was no trace of the Marsh Family's involvement in the dispute, so no one would think that the piece of pendant ultimately ended up in their hands. On the surface, it seemed that the dispute was provoked by the traitors of the Salvation Club, but in fact, the Marsh family were the one who was behind it? No, that was impossible! Jara and Luca had always been very close. At that time, there was no competition in their businesses as well, so the relationship between them was even closer. If the Marsh Family really did interfere, Jara must have noticed it. But if they were really not behind the dispute back then, and that object had not fallen into their hands, was it possible that there was a second piece of Jade of Heaven in this world? The sudden thought made Emmeline feel a chill down
Four of them stood outside the hall and chatted for a while. Soon, the second session was about to begin, and the group of people entered the hall again. They returned to their respective seats. It was only after everyone had taken their seats that they began the auction. The items in the second session of the auction were naturally much more valuable than the items in the first session. There were paintings of ancient famous artists, an Imperial seal that had been lost for thousands of years, and a scepter used by the Uqobia royal family. In short, there were all sorts of rare treasures. However, maybe it was getting closer to the last treasure, at this time, everyone was much more cautious. While they stopped looking at the auction items in front of them, all of them were now concentrating, and quietly waiting for the last treasure to appear. Of course, Isaac had heard about the last treasure. He probably shared the same thoughts with Emmelin
Emmeline cast an admiring glance at her. "Esme is still very smart." Suddenly, Isaac was speechless. Why did he feel that he was being looked down upon? However, even though he was complaining, he knew for sure that Jara wasn't really giving up. Rather, he was planning to wait until the last minute to win over the bid. Only then did he feel at ease. Soon, that golden-haired foreigner was defeated. The man sighed helplessly and shook his head in disappointment. Turning around, he made a fist-holding gesture to show his respect to Mr. Payne, then gave up. At that moment, there was a smug look on Mr. Payne's face. This time, Mr. Payne went all in and almost bet all his money. Even if he was not the richest present, he had the highest bidding price. In the end, the bidding price of 80 million yuan was bid up to 1.5 billion dollars by him and the foreigner! At present, the hostess glanced across the hall and said with a smile, "Mr.
So she tugged at him and said, "I'm not feeling well. Can you take me to the restroom?" Isaac turned around and nodded, then he took another look at Mr. Payne and let out a snort. After that, he told Jara and Emmeline to wait for them at the same spot before turning around and went to the bathroom with Esme. After he left, Mr. Payne also left with a gloomy face. This time, he didn't even exchange a greeting with Jara. It was obvious that he wasn't happy about it. However, Jara was not that kind of person who would hold grudges. Not only did he not haggle over it, he greeted him attentively. "Mr. Payne, take care along the way." Hearing that, Mr. Payne almost tripped over as he was about to leave. Emmeline couldn't help but laugh, turning to glare at him angrily. "Why are you making fun of him?" Raising his eyebrows, Jara replied, "I'm not. I worried for him. After all, he's still so ambitious at such an old age. He's not a person t
