Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 40

Chapter 040 Get Lost, Imbecile! Matthew and Luca looked in the direction of Hailey in unison. Their hearts

skipped a beat when they saw her cold expression.

Was she angry?

Hailey was indeed a little angry. It was just that she had been used to putting on a disguise all these years and rarely showed her true emotions on her face. Nowadays, not many people could really get on her nerves. It was unnecessary to be annoyed over the men’s childish actions. Due to the overwhelming sensation during the auction of the emerald necklace, not many were interested when it was the porcelain plates’ turn. Of course, many of the attendees did not appreciate the plates. On the contrary, collectors like Hailey had been waiting for the plates to be

auctioned. The more valuable the item was, the calmer she looked.

The auctioneer called out a price of one million.

Hailey did not raise her sign. Instead, she ordered Chris to raise his sign and

said, “1.1 million.”

Many people present were still in a trance from being shocked by Chris’s bid for the necklace. They wasn’t sure if it was simply a gullible act from him, but they knew that he was really rich.

They definitely couldn’t compete with him in term of wealth, so when they saw Chris offer his price, those who were interested with the plates automatically put down their signs. This was the effect that Hailey wanted. When the auctioneer was going to call 1.1 million twice, she was anticipating that she could make the final call, but an unexpected surprise happened.

“1.2 million.”

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Owen, who was raising his sign with a leisure expression.

She frowned in annoyance.

What was up with him tonight? Was he addicted to raising the sign and offering

a higher price?

She had never seen him like this before.

“1.3 million.” Chris raised his sign again.

“1.4 million.” Owen also raised his sign.

Chris glanced at Hailey, who closed her eyes at him. Chris then raised his sign again. “1.5 million.”

Owen wanted to offer a higher bid again, but Matthew stopped him. “Hey, can’t you tell that he’s calling the price for Hailey?” “Yup, i can.” Owen asked, “So?” Matthew was bewildered. “If you can tell, why are you competing with him?”

Owen explained lightly, “I am not. I like the plates too.”

Matthew frowned and gasped, dumbstruck. He had never known what the headstrong and overly-logical straight man

looked like, but now he knew.

“1.5 million going once, 1.5 million going twice… Okay, this gentleman bids 1.6 million.”

Brook glanced in Owen’s direction and said to Hailey, “Hey, he goes all out to compete for the plates with you. Does he not know that Chris is calling the price for you?” “He knows.” Hailey gritted her teeth. She wanted to take back what she had just thought about herself. He got on her nerves, and she was utterly pissed right now! Instead of ordering Chris, Hailey raised the sign herself and said, “2 million!”

He wanted to compete with her, didn’t he? Alright, they should fight to the end. Owen did as she wished and raised the sign again. “2.1 million.” Matthew couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows and grunted, “Now I know why Hailey wants to divorce you. To have someone like you as a husband, she will die of enger sooner or later if she doesn’t divorce you.”

Owen was unmoved. He didn’t think that there was any connection between their divorce and his desire to win the auction of the porcelain plates. Moreover, it was him who initiated the divorce, not Hailey.

The auction became the fighting ground between Hailey and Owen this time.
