LOGINHarry 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
Harry was aware of Andrew’s relationship with Hadley because they were close friends.After their divorce, Andrew started dating someone else— Laura.Harry was not at much taken aback.Andrew changed girlfriends like clockwork, after all. No woman stayed with him for longer than three months.For the years, Andrew and Hadley were married, to the point where Harry thought he truly loved her, but when he heard they for a divorce, he was stunned.Harry noticed that Hadley was more radiant than ever. He questioned whether Hadley was as stupid as people had said after looking at her profile. "Hadley, how important are you to sit here?" he wondered.The elites were enticed to the gathering by the rare violet diamond.Hadley shouldn't be occupying that prominent seat, according to Andrew . She wasn't even eligible to attend.Hadley cast a sidelong glance at the man seating next to her.His attractive face was unreadable and icy. And she was wounded by his cold, contemptuous look.She was per
"Don't get too excited, Hadley. You are merely Andrew’s ex-wife, and tonight he'll purchase me the most amazing purple diamond and pop the question.”"Really? I'm trying to find it.” Hadley gave a smirk.After a brief delay, she shut the car door firmly and departed from the Shaw Group.Kingsley Fern, her grandfather, called her in the interim."Hi, Grandpa." "Had, at tonight's charity event, a violet diamond will be up for auction. You have to buy it regardless of the price.”Hadley was a little taken aback. “I didn't know you were interested in diamonds, Grandpa.""Hurry up. Simply purchase it. I have my motivations.”Hadley grinned and said, "All right! Later, I'll visit that place. Send me the invitation, then.”After hanging up, Hadley thought, "What a coincidence, Andrew. Don't blame me for ruining your proposal."The Dove Auction House was bustling with prominent people and elites as night fell.There was a genuine treasure in everything up for auction.Every woman in the room
"Close your dirty mouth. "How dare you use the word stole? You may look respectable, but your words are disgusting." Ercell was furious and thought. No one had ever dared to treat Hadley this way, and they had looked up to her since they were young.Laura gestured to Jemima , who boldly moved forward. "I have our chat logs here, Hadley. You gave me instructions to steal the details about the new product. I have the million you gave me, too. I deliberately came out to Mr. Shaw and explained everything since I was sickened by this treachery after working for the Shaw Group for a long time."A suffocating feeling appeared to hang in the air as soon as Jemima stopped speaking.It dawned on Hadley that Jemima must have been bribed to ruin her. Too bad it won’t work…Hadley gave her a chilly smile. "You seem to be skilled at returning favors, don't you? You were supposedly directed by me? How can you be certain that I am the source of the funds in your account?”"It originated with you. Y
