Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

At the auction.

Valeria followed Hackett to the inner venue of the auction. The auction today was no small matter. Those who could enter this place were either rich or noble.

Valeria sat beside Hackett, but her mind was elsewhere.

The first item up for auction was an emerald bracelet, exquisitely designed with a touch of mystery, originating from Celestic.

The commentator at the auction was explaining the origin of this bracelet, saying. "The designer of this bracelet is a renowned jewelry master from Silverbrook. She spent three years crafting this piece and gave it the prestigious name 'Unparalleled, symbolizing perfect love. Moreover, if given to the most beloved person, it promises happiness and fulfillment. Bidding starts at 14 million dollars.

14 million dollars?

The commentator spoke a lot, but Valeria did not listen to a single word. She only listened to the number 14 million dollars

This was too expensive. It was crazy to spend 14 million dollars to buy such a bracelet.

Hackett's dark eyes were fixed on the bracelet in the display case as if he were staring at his prey.

Hackett lowered his eyes and glanced at Valeria's wrist. It seemed to be missing a bracelet as an accessory.

Valeria only wanted to get through this boring auction as soon as possible. She could not stay any longer.

Unexpectedly, the man beside Valeria suddenly raised his bidder's paddle, catching the auctioneer's attention immediately "Very well! The gentleman at Table 6 has bid, starting at 14 million dollars. Do we have any further bids!"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Valeria was stunned. She looked at Hackett's handsome side profile. "Are you crazy? Why are you bidding on this?"

Was Hackett going to give is to Valeria?

Valeria did not know why she had such a thought.

Then, Hackett said coldly. "It's none of your business. It's not for you anyway."

"That's good." Valeria still felt relieved.

Valeria had thought that only Hackett would be interested in such a bracelet, and no one would fight with him for it.

The next second, the auctioneer said. The lady at Table 10 raises the price to 14.2 million dollars!"

Valeria couldn't help but look back. Table 10 was a woman dressed elegantly. She looked like a daughter of a rich family But why did this woman look so familiar? Where had Valeria seen the woman before? Hackett did not even look back. He raised his card and continued to raise the price.

The woman at Table 10 was also bidding non-stop. It was as if the two of them were deliberately going against each other, neither of them willing to give in to the other.

Valeria could not stand it anymore. If they continued to raise the price like this, this bracelet would be worth almost 20 million dollars. Was it really worth that much? 12:11 Mon, Nov d

"Are you going to raise the price to 20 million dollars?"

Hackett stared at the emerald bracelet in the display case and said calmly, "I must get what I want. No one can snatch it from

Valeria shouldn't have asked it. The behavior of the rich was not something she could understand.

"The gentleman at Table 6 bids 20 million dollars! 20 million dollars once! 20 million dollars twice! 20 million dollars three times! Deal! The bracelet, Unparalleled, will belong to the gentleman at Table 6" Valeria was a little speechless, She even looked at the man beside her in disdain.

What a spendthrift.

Hackett bought the bracelet with 20 million dollars. Who would he give it to

The mysterious woman at Table 10 had already bid 20 million dollars. But how could she bear to give up

Valeria could not help but turn around to look at the woman again. She was a little far away and could not see the woman's exact appearance,

but she felt that the woman looked familiar.

Two hours later.

The auction was not over yet, but Valeria and Hackett had already left early because she found an excuse to say that she was hungry.

Hence, Hackett brought her to an open-air restaurant in a hotel. On the rooftop of the top floor, they could look down arthe night view of the entire city and admire the starry sky.

This was definitely a dating place that a woman liked.

Valeria and Hackett sat in a corner. A light breeze passed. Valeria could see the bustling night scenery of the entire city. "You like it here?" Hackett flipped through the menu and looked up at Valeria's quiet side profile. Valeria smiled faintly. "You should have brought Cheryl here before, right?"

Hackett fell silent because Valeria had guessed correctly.

Valeria knew that she had guessed correctly. Seeing the flash of surprise in Hackett's eyes, Valeria felt like laughing. She explained. "How would a cold man like you know about such a place? You must have brought women here. Besides, seeing Cheryl seemed to like this place very much, you think women should like this place quite a lot..."

Before Valeria could finish, Hackett frowned unhappily and placed the menu in front of her. "Cut the crap. Order your food."

Valeria smiled and flipped through the menu.

"Ma'am, what would you like to eat?" The waiter smiled and waited for Valeria's answer.

Valeria opened the menu and skimmed through it. The food here was really expensive. She was already full just by looking at the price.

However, there was Hackett to pay the bill. Valeria didn't need to worry about anything.

"1.."

Valeria was about to say something when a figure suddenly rushed in front of her and splashed a glass of red wine on her head.

Mon, No

The speed was so fast that one could react, including Harket who was sitting opposite.

"Ah!

Valeria screamed subconsciously. She looked up and took a few seconds to remember who the woman who splashed her red wine was.

It was Keith's first crush, Sherri

Valeria seemed to instantly understand why Sherri was so angry. She probably thought that Valeria had cheated on him as Keith's wife.

Sherri was really concerned about her ex-boyfriend.

"Shameless woman!" Sherri had a cold attitude as she looked at Valeria's sorry state.

The next second. Hackett suddenly stood up and pushed Sherri to the side. He walked in front of Valeria and picked up a napkin to wipe the red wine on Valeria's face.

"Why aren't you calling the police? Trash!" Hackett scolded the waiter beside him.

The waiter was already stunned by the scene in front of him because this was the first time he had encountered such a mater since he started working.

"You have to call the police! I want to sue him for intentional injury!" Sherri was pushed to the ground and held her forehead as she shouted angrily.

Valeria looked over and realized that Sherri's head seemed to have hit the sharp corner of the table and was broken. Blood flowed down her eyebrows.

Many people in the restaurant looked over curiously, wondering if it was a love triangle or something,

Hackett did not even look back at the woman. He snorted. "It will prove you're quite capable if you can win the lawsuit.

"A shameless couple!"

Seeing the scene, Sherri even felt sorry for Keith. How did Keith marry such a woman? Sherri even suspected whether that little boy was Keith's biological son. Could it be that Valeria had cheated on Keith long ago and gave birth for the other man
