A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1274

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1274

“So what if I’m reckless? I can do whatever I please,” Luther grinned. He spoke without a trace of bashfulness that it made Helen speechless.

“Easy for him to say when Fabian is the one who’s actually paying for it,” Jason spoke straightforwardly. “He clearly doesn’t care for the teapot, so he’ll probably resell it once he grows tired of it. After all, this is the mindset he used to prosper his fortune.”

Hearing this, Helen now frowned at Luther. All that big talk of yours… and you’ve just been using my brother-in-law’s money?

Luther’s ears burned a bright red from embarrassment. He chuckled dryly and explained, “It’s beyond my control. Your brother-in-law is so prideful that he insists on paying for every auction, even I can’t convince him otherwise.”

His voice squeaked softly for fear that Fabian was listening to what he said.

Helen pursed her lips, wanting to call out Luther’s pathetic excuse. However, the auctioneer’s following words seized her complete attention, and she couldn’t help but look over to the stage.

“Alright, this next item is rare. There are only a few of them in this world, so you can even say it’s the pinnacle of tonight’s event. Want to know what it is? Please wait for it,” the auctioneer teased the audience with a playful smile.

She gently patted the black cloth that draped over the mystery item, building the audience’s interest in it.

“I wonder what could it be? That’s a really vague intro though.”

“Let me guess. It’s some limited-edition item?”

“Oh, hurry up with the answers! You’re killing us with the suspension.”

…

Fabian glanced at the covered object on the stage, thinking that it seemed small. Then he turned to face Hannah and asked, “Can you guess what it is?”

“Guess? How can I guess if there’s a black cloth over it? They didn’t even give a single clue.”

Hannah felt an oncoming headache just from considering the possibilities of what the item was. Giving up, she figured that Fabian was probably joking with her.

“Would you believe that it’s a necklace?” Fabian asked confidently after pondering at the item’s enlarged image on the display screens.
