Chapter 122 Not Worth the Price
Terry gritted his teeth. “125 thousand dollars!”
Aurora sighed helplessly, “Just give up.”
She didn’t want it at all. What was worse, Zac was deliberately competing with them on the price. Even if the bracelet was the work of a famous designer, it was not worth that price.
Wenny, who was beside Zac, was excited.
Zac, on the other hand, had a cold expression on his face. His eyes were so deep that it was like one could never tell his emotions.
Aurora only glanced at him before looking away.
“150 thousand dollars,” said Zac, holding the bidding paddle.
“150 thousand dollars? It seems that Mr. Buchanna is determined to win! Are there any other buyers interested in this bracelet?” As the host spoke, he smiled and looked in the direction of
Terry and Aurora.
Terry still wanted to bid but was stopped by Aurora.
“No need.” To save face might be important to others, but not to Aurora.
She had seen enough of those people throwing away their money for the sake of face. She didn’t want to be that kind of person who kept sinking in the whirlpool of greed.
Moreover, Terry would definitely lose when compared to Zac

“Aurora, I’m sorry,” Terry said.
Aurora cracked a smile. Her smile was unprecedentedly relaxed and bright. It was only at this
moment that she realized that she was not eager to the circle of rich and famous people, but to
prove herself.
She could win without the Bennet family.
As for Zac, Aurora didn’t care about him anymore.
When the host delivered the bracelet to Zac personally, Aurora and Terry had already left.
Someone began to whisper, “Zac’s choice is Wenny anyway.”
“Aurora is really stupid. No matter how powerful the Walton family is, they still can’t compare to Zac.”
“Although the wedding was not completed, it is a fact that Wenny is pregnant. Sooner or later, she
will be one of the Buchanna family.”
Hearing these words, Wenny smiled more and more happily. “Zac, thanks.”
Unexpectedly, Zac just got up and walked out. “I am fed up.”
Wenny didn’t get that bracelet.
She was a little disappointed, but she had got what she wanted. She pursed her lips and quickly followed
Dalwin clicked his tongue. He knew well about Zac. This matter was not over yet.
Aurora went to the office backstage to retrieve her things. When she came out, Terry waited for her
in the street.
She hesitated for a few seconds before walking over.
“Don’t apologize to me. It’s none of my business. I don’t care about how you get along with Sara.” Aurora looked peaceful. She was not blaming Terry.
They were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
“You…” Terry failed to speak. The words he had prepared for the past few days were stuck in his throat.
He clearly understood the calmness in Aurora’s eyes.
The night wind blew the hair in her ears. She smiled easily and broke Terry’s heart in an instant.
“You are right. Apologizing is my business. Explaining is also my business.” Terry forced a smile and determined that he would end all those messy relationships so that Aurora wouldn’t be
criticized.
From afar, Aurora saw Zac and the others walk out.
She felt uneasy when seeing them.
“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.” She patted the bag in her hand. “I got my salary today.”
Terry nodded. He thought that at the very least, they could still get along as friends.
He found him very happy already. If Aurora pushed him away, or never saw him, he could not
imagine what would happen to him by then.
They walked forward side by side. Zac’s driver also drove over and took him and Wenny away.
The night was cold. When Dalwin was about to leave by car, he happened to meet with Aurora and
Terry.
“Ms. Bennet, how have you been?”
“Mr. Villson.” Aurora nodded and greeted him.
Dalwin’s gaze fell on Terry, who was aside. Then he smiled faintly. “Mr. Walton, you’d better stay far away from the people that you can’t afford to provoke, lest it affects your family business.”
There was business cooperation between the Buchanna Group and the Walton Group.
Terry was very clear about this,
He frowned and was about to retort when he was stopped by Aurora.
“Mr. Villson, we still have things to do. Excuse me.”
Aurora forcefully pulled Terry away.
Terry was annoyed, but he would not do anything Aurora disliked.
Dalwin watched them leave, and his eyes narrowed. “Interesting.”
While Aurora and Terry were eating, Terry was called off by the Walton family.
“Mr. Walton, Mrs. Walton is not feeling well with her heart. She has been calling your name,” Connor said, “If you don’t have any important dates, you’d better come back for her.”
They had already played this trick once.
“I have something to do…”
Terry said, about to hang up.
However, Kate’s voice came from the phone. “If Terry is busy, just let him be. I’m fine.”
It sounded like she was really weak.
Terry frowned as he agreed to go back. Then he hit the hang-up button.
Aurora had already finished paying the bill and walked out of the restaurant. “Let’s just go our separate ways.”
She smiled and did not look unhappy at all.
“Sorry, I wanted to celebrate with you today.”
Aurora smiled and said, “Have you ever calculated how many times you apologized to me today?”
There was no need for that between them.
In her most difficult time, Terry was like a beam of light that shone into her life.
in ner most difficult time, Terry was like a beam or lignt that snone into ner 11te.
But no one would want to hug the sun in their arms, because it was too hot and they would not be happy.
Stopping damage in time was the most important thing that Aurora learned after coming back.
“I had already hailed a car just now.” Aurora looked at the black car by the roadside in the distance.
“That should be it. See you later.”
She didn’t want to become a conflict between Terry and his family anymore.
She waved with a smile and quickly walked across the road.
But halfway, Aurora found that something was wrong.
It was not right the right license plate number.
Aurora looked back. Terry had just gotten into the car and had not left yet.
She slowed down and waited for Terry to leave before stopping.
However, when the window was rolled down, it turned out to be Zac in the car.
Aurora suddenly stopped and turned around to walk back.
But halfway through, her phone rang.
le
“Get in the car and 1,500 less.”
Aurora was so angry that she gritted her teeth. How will I be tempted by 1,500 dollars?
Aurora frowned deeply, but she still opened the car door and sat in. She was not a greedy person, but now, she had to compromise.
The car drove forward, and Aurora turned to stare at Zac’s profile.
“Why are you still here at this time?”
Hadn’t he gone with Wenny just now?
They should be at home now.
Or perhaps he had just escaped from Wenny?
The more Aurora thought, the more disgusted she felt.
“I was just passing by and want to remind you not to foolishly think that the Walton family will accept you. It won’t do you any good messing up with Terry,” said Zac calmly.
