Chapter 75 We’re Together
Following Victor’s bid, many people present started bidding as well.
“Seven million.”
“Eight million.”
Victor raised the token and said flatly, “10 million.”
Suzy hurriedly came back to her senses and tugged on his sleeve. “Are you crazy? Victor, I don’t want anything from you.”
She was very clear about Victor’s income. He was very popular now, but the album plus the variety shows he received a few days ago only amounted to 30 million dollars.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“I don’t like this necklace. Stop bidding it.”
Victor said, “You stared at it for a long time.”
Suzy was speechless.
Now someone continued bidding. Suddenly, a low and magnetic male voice sounded.
“Twenty million.”
Everyone was stunned.
Ten million more.
Victor was stunned. Just as he was about to continue bidding, Suzy stopped him.
“Don’t bid. It was 20 million dollars. You’re a fool if you continue to bid.”
As soon as she finished speaking, another evil male voice sounded at the scene.
“30 million.”
Suzy thought, “Why are so many idiots around these days?”
Victor only had 30 million dollars on hand. He couldn’t continue bidding at the moment.
But now, the bidding was still going on.
No. 26 continued to bid, “50 million.”
No. 39 continued to bid, “80 million.”
The audience whispered, and even the host was stunned.
“100 million.”
No. 26’s voice sounded again. Suzy felt this voice was a little familiar as she complained about the person who spent 100 million dollars buying such a broken thing. He was foolish and rich, a real sucker.
This time, number 39 did not continue bidding. In the end, number 26 successfully won the bid for Azurain with a hundred million.
Next was a crystal crown. After the host’s brief introduction, the on-site auction began.
In the end, the crown was won by No. 39 with 60 million.
The next item to be auctioned was a pearl bracelet.
The bracelet was bided by Victor for a total of thirty million. Suzy couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to.
Until the end of the auction, Suzy did not find anything suitable for Evan, so she left the auction with Victor with a depressed face.
Victor had already received the pearl bracelet backstage. After getting in the car, he handed the exquisitely wrapped box to Suzy.
“Miss Carters, tomorrow is the Double Seventh Festival. Happy Double Seventh Festival.”
It was only then that Suzy knew that tomorrow was the Double Seventh Festival. She paused slightly. “Happy Double Seventh Festival. Thank you, Victor, but I can’t accept this.”
Thirty million. Victor had used all the money he had earned recently. This little brother was really good to her…
“No, I’ve already bought it,” Victor insisted.
Suzy sighed. Although she could not bear to accept it, she still said, “Victor, I’ve already said it before. I already have someone that I like. Don’t put your mind on me. I cannot accept your gift either.”
Upon hearing this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Victor’s eyes.
“Miss Carters, do I have no chance at all?”
Suzy: “… Yes.”
“Do you like Evan?” Victor asked again.
When she heard his words, Suzy’s eyes glimmered before she slowly nodded her head. To dispel Victor’s thoughts, she spoke again moments later, “We are already together.”
Since their last meal, Victor had noticed some relationship between Suzy and Evan. Victor’s heart trembled when he heard the news that they were together.
“I see.”
Suzy didn’t say anything further, and Victor sent her to the villa’s entrance.
“Miss Carters, you should accept this bracelet. I’ve already bought it. If you don’t accept it, I’ll be even sadder,” Victor said in a sad tone.
Suzy was speechless.
She sighed and finally said slowly, “Okay.”
Victor nodded. Just as Suzy was about to get out of the car and close the door, he looked at her and said, “Suzy, one day, if you need me, I will always be there.”
Suzy: “… Hurry back. Take care on the way back.”
“Okay.”
Suzy guiltily stuffed the bracelet into her bag and opened the door to the villa. When she entered the room, she realized that Evan had yet to return.
She checked the time and found that it was already past eleven o’clock.
Suzy frowned slightly and placed the bracelet in the cabinet. She then transferred 30 million to Victor’s private account before calmly washing up.
After taking a shower, Suzy remembered what Ervin had said and fell back into restlessness. She took medicine prescribed in the afternoon before going back to bed.
At the same time, in a luxurious private room of the largest club in Somo City.
Evan, Thomas, and Ervin were drinking wine in a private room.
Thomas glanced at his watch and complained, “It’s already so late; why haven’t Tommy and Marian come over yet?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the private room door was opened. A man in a gray suit came in, followed by a woman. The woman was delicate and beautiful, with short shoulder-length hair. She looked very cool.
“You two are finally here!”
Thomas walked over first, hugged Tommy Maddox, and then grinned as he looked at the woman by his side.
“Marian, I haven’t seen you for a few months; you’ve become prettier again!”
Marian Jacob ignored him. She walked straight into the private room and sat down beside Evan.
“Mr. Hughes, long time no see.”
Evan glanced at her and said indifferently, “Long time no see. It must have been hard on you.”
“It’s alright. It’s not hard at all.” A smile flashed across Marian’s face.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time. We must get drunk tonight!” Ervin opened a few glasses, picked up two new glasses, and poured them for Tommy and Marian, who had just arrived.
They raised their glasses and drank them in one gulp.
They had known each other since they were young and had been working for Evan all the time. Tommy was the supervisor of Yell Organisation, one of the three major organizations, and Marian was a well-known female killer in this organization.
The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious, and they talked about the past. About ten minutes later, Evan looked down at the time.
It was already 12 o’clock…
He picked up his phone next to him and saw that Suzy had not sent him a single message.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Hughes?” Marian asked.
Evan pursed his lips. “You guys keep playing. I’m going back.”
“It’s so early, aren’t you being kind? How long has it been since we last met?” This time, the one who spoke was Tommy.
Ervin and Thomas glanced at each other and instantly came to an understanding.
“What do you two know? Mr. Hughes is going back to accompany the beauty! How can he compare with single people like us?”
Marian and Tommy looked puzzled when they heard Thomas’s words.
Tommy: “What beauty? Evan fell in love? Did Miss Smith come to Somo City?”
Ervin mysteriously smiled. “Ask him yourself.”
Everyone turned to look at Evan.
The man rose to his feet, picked up his coat, and said in his magnetic voice, “I’ll introduce you two to each other another day.”
After that, he stepped out of the private room.
