All of a sudden, she recalled that there was a third person at the auction who basically bid with them until the very end. Someone who could afford to raise a bid of a million can’t be any ordinary person. “Hey, do you know who the person was who kept raising the bid during the auction?”
Pierre shook his head. “How would I know when I wasn’t there?”
“Help me investigate it, then.” This bracelet is indeed priceless, but no one would spend such a fortune to bid on it unless he truly loves such a thing and isn’t hurting for money. All of a sudden, Selena found this person very much suspicious.
“Okay, I’ll have someone investigate it. But why do you want this bracelet so much?” Pierre turned the bracelet around in his hand. It doesn’t look all that distinctive.
“This was my mother’s. My mother loved this pair of bracelets, but she sold one of them back then to help my father out. After she passed away, the other bracelet went missing as well, so I surmised that my father must have sold it.” Selena stared at the bracelet. “There’s still another one, and I’ll definitely find it.” After all, Mom didn’t leave much behind after her demise. I remember her always wearing the bracelets when I was young, so it’ll also be a balm to my longing for her.
As Pierre gazed at her melancholic expression, a hint of sympathy flashed across his eyes, and he caressed her hair. “I’ll help you find it.”
Pierre arched his eyebrow slightly without saying anything, his eyes fixed on Selena’s cherry lips. Why do I feel compelled to have a taste? Leaning over, he planted a kiss on her lips. This unexpected kiss caught Selena off guard, and she was stunned for a moment, forgetting to resist though she didn’t seem to have any reason to do so either.
While the relationship between the two of them swiftly heated up, the situation at Yard Residence was somewhat tragic. After the incident at the fashion show, Meredith had been hiding out at home and refusing to accept even her usual work, feeling utterly humiliated.
