She Was The Joke, Now She’s The Queen 014
The bond between them was Hadley’s only weakness.She removed a moist cloth from her purse and skillfully cleaned the area where Andrew had touched her, treating it as though it were contaminated.Andrew was directly insulted by what she did."Hadley, do you really think you're so clean?" Andrew asked in a sarcastic tone. “During the months I was away, didn't you have a great time?”His comments made Hadley cringe. "What do you mean by that?" Laura heard this and stepped in right away. "Stop making things hard for Had, Drew. Don't you want to go shopping with me and buy me presents? Let's concentrate on it.”‘The two have obviously fallen out—one is disgusted, the other feels sullied," Laura thought. “I have the ideal chance to accomplish two goals at once’With a firm voice, Andrew turned to face Ercell. "Make use of the card. Deliver all of these to this address.”After furiously accepting the card, Ercell checked out. She went to pay when Hadley offered her a comforting look.Laur

With a little hint of malice in her eyes, Hadley cast a quick glance at the arrivals. "Looks like the money's here," she muttered as she leaned in closer to Ercell. “Do you know what to do?When Ercell heard Hadley’s cunning tone, her eyes brightened with comprehension.As she turned to face Laura, her own smile darkened. "Got it."Hadley gestured to the model's attire. "I want all of these.""Of course, boss," Ercell said, instantly changing into the courteous store manager.She promptly instructed other employees to take care of Andrew and Laura.Andrew and Hadley looked at each other.Andrew’s eyes were still mysterious, but hers were as frigid as ever.Even with him there, Hadley’s cold attitude did not waver. She revealed nothing and tightly controlled her emotions.Observing their mutual looks, Laura gripped Andrew’s arm more tightly and grinned provocatively. "You were so radiant at the auction, Had. Are you coming to get Radiant’s new collections now? You are truly spoiled by

Hadley thought about Andrew’s words as she drove away.He said that she had deceived him.She laughed bitterly. Andrew had no shame at all. He accused her of treachery even though he was the one who cheated.She inhaled deeply, ignoring the anguish in her heart. After a month of resting at home, she was still unable to identify the source of the problem.Secured on the dashboard, her phone rang. To respond, she swiped.There was a loving voice. "My dear girl." "Grandpa," Hadley said in a lazy tone."I have the violet diamond. I've made arrangements for a skilled jeweler to create a piece of jewelry for you. You will turn twenty-eight in one month."Hadley’s lips curled into a little, casual smile. "If my memory serves me well, our family changed its ways twenty years ago, Grandpa. Are you certain that this violet diamond has nothing to do with anything dubious? I would dread to be hunted after wearing that around my neck.""You see right through everything, little rascal, don't you?

Harry also saw Hadley.What the heck?What's happening?For crying out loud!Why had Hadley appeared out of nowhere? Hasn't she already left?Harry’s demeanor abruptly changed, as though he had been hit by lightning.But perhaps she would finally give up on Andrew if she heard that exchange.A sneer of contempt formed on Hadley’s lips as she watched the vibrant display of emotions on Harry’s face.The mood became tense and unnaturally quiet."Hadley, what are you doing here?" With nervous eyes, Harry stepped forward.The way Harry spoke to her made Andrew furrow his brow a little."Let me explain, Hadley, there was a misunderstanding with what you just heard."A miscommunication?” Hadley’s sarcastic smile intensified. "A chilly lady? An idiot? Not in a class? Harry Dove, I knew you were a jerk, knew you were a pathetic sycophant, even knew you weren't much of a man, but I didn't expect you to be lower than an animal. Does humiliating someone really make you this happy?""Hadley, you.

With a nonchalant gesture, Andrew lifted his paddle and said, "four hundred million."Hadley hurried after him. "Five hundred dollars."Andrew turned to face her, stunned. "Hadley, do you even know the rules of an auction?"She was really careless to top the price by $100 million all at once!Hadley gave him a chilly smile in return.She looked at him indifferently, as though he were just a stranger. “I take it there isn't a price cap? So who doesn't understand the rules?" she retorted.Andrew scowled. "Seven hundred."Hadley lifted the board right away. "Nine hundred”"Man, if you keep going..." Harry said as Andrew was about to lift his paddle once again. "Enough!" Andrew angrily interrupted. "One billion!""1.5 billion!" was Hadley’s quick reply. Everyone turned to face Hadley, but all they could see was the graceful outline of her back, and the room became silent.Andrew scowled, knowing that she had done it on purpose.Laura, who had no understanding why Hadley was acting so ca

Hadley avoided glancing at Andrew and kept her expression unreadable.Ryland immediately lifted her paddle once again. "$Thirty million."Andrew scowled.Without hesitation, he increased the price by $thirty-five million because he wanted to know who that woman was.That was a rather daring move. He became further perplexed as his face darkened.He didn't want this picture to elude him, and all of the goods up for sale tonight had important secrets.Laura, meantime, was unable to understand the painting's high value. It didn't seem particularly noteworthy to her."Drew, it's just a painting," she said in an attempt to dissuade Andrew. It's not very valuable."With his brows knitted together, Andrew’s attractive face was now obscured by a chilly expression.He had the impression that he had previously seen this painting, but he was unable to identify the location. It had a strangely familiar quality.The auctioneer was ecstatic since he had not anticipated that a straightforward land
