Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

At the auction. 

Valeria followed Hackett to the inner venue of the auction. The auction today was no small matter. Those who could enter this place were either rich or noble. 

Valeria sat beside Hackett, but her mind was elsewhere. 

The first item up for auction was an emerald bracelet, exquisitely designed with a touch of mystery, originating from Celestic. 

The commentator at the auction was explaining the origin of this bracelet, saying. “The designer of this bracelet is a renowned jewelry master from Silverbrook. She spent three years crafting this piece and gave it the prestigious name ‘Unparalleled, symbolizing perfect love. Moreover, if given to the most beloved person, it promises happiness and fulfillment. Bidding starts at 14 million dollars. 

14 million dollars? 

The commentator spoke a lot, but Valeria did not listen to a single word. She only listened to the number 14 million dollars 

This was too expensive. It was crazy to spend 14 million dollars to buy such a bracelet. 

Hackett’s dark eyes were fixed on the bracelet in the display case as if he were staring at his prey. 

Hackett lowered his eyes and glanced at Valeria’s wrist. It seemed to be missing a bracelet as an accessory. 

Valeria only wanted to get through this boring auction as soon as possible. She could not stay any longer. 

Unexpectedly, the man beside Valeria suddenly raised his bidder’s paddle, catching the auctioneer’s attention immediately “Very well! The gentleman at Table 6 has bid, starting at 14 million dollars. Do we have any further bids!” 

Valeria was stunned. She looked at Hackett’s handsome side profile. “Are you crazy? Why are you bidding on this?” 

Was Hackett going to give is to Valeria? 

Valeria did not know why she had such a thought. 

Then, Hackett said coldly. “It’s none of your business. It’s not for you anyway.” 

“That’s good.” Valeria still felt relieved. 

Valeria had thought that only Hackett would be interested in such a bracelet, and no one would fight with him for it. 

The next second, the auctioneer said. The lady at Table 10 raises the price to 14.2 million dollars!” 

Valeria couldn’t help but look back. Table 10 was a woman dressed elegantly. She looked like a daughter of a rich family But why did this woman look so familiar? Where had Valeria seen the woman before? 

Hackett did not even look back. He raised his card and continued to raise the price. 

The woman at Table 10 was also bidding non–stop. It was as if the two of them were deliberately going against each other, neither of them willing to give in to the other. 

Valeria could not stand it anymore. If they continued to raise the price like this, this bracelet would be worth almost 20 million dollars. Was it really worth that much?

Chapter 68 

“Are you going to raise the price to 20 million dollars?” 

43.75% 

Hackett stared at the emerald bracelet in the display case and said calmly, “I must get what I want. No one can snatch it from 

Valeria shouldn’t have asked it. The behavior of the rich was not something she could understand. 

“The gentleman at Table 6 bids 20 million dollars! 20 million dollars once! 20 million dollars twice! 20 million dollars three times! Deal! The bracelet, Unparalleled, will belong to the gentleman at Table 6” 

Valeria was a little speechless, She even looked at the man beside her in disdain. 

What a spendthrift. 

Hackett bought the bracelet with 20 million dollars. Who would he give it to 

The mysterious woman at Table 10 had already bid 20 million dollars. But how could she bear to give up 

Valeria could not help but turn around to look at the woman again. She was a little far away and could not see the woman’s exact appearance, 

but she felt that the woman looked familiar. 

Two hours later. 

The auction was not over yet, but Valeria and Hackett had already left early because she found an excuse to say that she was hungry. 

Hence, Hackett brought her to an open–air restaurant in a hotel. On the rooftop of the top floor, they could look down arthe night view of the entire city and admire the starry sky. 

This was definitely a dating place that a woman liked. 

Valeria and Hackett sat in a corner. A light breeze passed. Valeria could see the bustling night scenery of the entire city. “You like it here?” Hackett flipped through the menu and looked up at Valeria’s quiet side profile. 

Valeria smiled faintly. “You should have brought Cheryl here before, right?” 

Hackett fell silent because Valeria had guessed correctly. 

Valeria knew that she had guessed correctly. Seeing the flash of surprise in Hackett’s eyes, Valeria felt like laughing. She explained. “How would a cold man like you know about such a place? You must have brought women here. Besides, seeing Cheryl seemed to like this place very much, you think women should like this place quite a lot…” 

Before Valeria could finish, Hackett frowned unhappily and placed the menu in front of her. “Cut the crap. Order your food.” 

Valeria smiled and flipped through the menu. 

“Ma’am, what would you like to eat?” The waiter smiled and waited for Valeria’s answer. 

Valeria opened the menu and skimmed through it. The food here was really expensive. She was already full just by looking at the price. 

However, there was Hackett to pay the bill. Valeria didn’t need to worry about anything. 

“I..” 

Valeria was about to say something when a figure suddenly rushed in front of her and splashed a glass of red wine on her 

head.
