Chapter 122 Not Worth the Price
“750,000!” Nore gritted his teeth. “Forget it,” Lyra sighed helplessly. She had never wanted it, and from the looks of it, Hank had deliberately raised the price. Even if the bracelet was created by a famous designer, it was not worth this price. On the other side, Alma, who was beside Hank, had already started to get excited. Hank, on the other hand, had a cold expression on his face. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making it impossible to see his emotions. Lyra only glanced at him before shifting her gaze away. “One million,” Hank said, holding the auction card. “One million? It seems that Mr. Barnwell is determined to win! Are other buyers interested in this bracelet?” As the host spoke, he smiled and looked in the direction of Nore and Lyra.
Nore still wanted to call out a price but was stopped by Lyra. “There’s no need.” She felt that it was really pointless. In this life, she had seen enough of those people throwing away their money for the sake of face. She did not want to be the kind of person who would sink into the whinipuol of greed. Moreover, compared to Hank’s financial resources, Nore would definitely lose. “Lyra, I’m sorry.” Nore said again. Lyra smiled. Her smile was unprecedentedly relaxed and bright. It was only at this moment that she realized that what she wanted was not to return to the circle of rich and famous people, but to prove herself. She did not have the Jones family as her trump card. She could also win.
As for Hank, Lyra did not care. When the host personally handed the bracelet to Hank, Lyra and Nore had left. Someone began to whisper, “Hank still chose Alma.” “Lyra is really stupid. No matter how strong Lubi family is, he can’t compare to Hank.” “Although the wedding was not completed, it is a fact that Alma is pregnant. Sooner or later, she will enter Barnwell family’s door.” Hearing these words, the smile on Alma’s face became deeper and deeper, “Hank, thank you.” Unexpectedly, the man just got up and walked out.
The bracelet did not enter Alma’s hand at all. She was a little disappointed, but what she wanted had been obtained. She pursed her lips and quickly followed.
Jasper clicked his tongue. He knew Hank too well. This matter was not over. Lyra went to the office backstage to get her things. When she came out, Nore stood by the street and waited for her.
She hesitated for a few seconds and walked over.
“Don’t apologize to me. I am not qualified to accept your apology. How you and Xu Ya develop is your business.” Lyra had no emotions, and she was not questioning Nore about anything. They were not boyfriend and girlfriend. “You…” Nore’s throat froze. The words he had prepared for a few days were all stuck in his throat.
He clearly understood the calmness in Lyra’s eyes. The night wind blew the hair in her ears. She smiled easily and instantly broke Nore’s heart.
“You are right. It’s all none of your business.” Nore forced a smile and told himself that
vould deal with all the messy relationships and not let Lyra be criticized. In the distance, Lyra saw Hank and others coming out. She felt unlucky. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.” She patted the bag in her hand. “I got paid today.” Nore’nodded. At the very least, they could still get along as friends. For him, this was already a very happy thing. If Lyra pushed him away or never saw him, he could not imagine what would happen to him at that time. The two of them walked forward side by side. Hank’s driver also drove over and took him and Alma away.
The night was cold. When Jasper was about to drive away, he happened to meet with Lyra and the others.
“Miss Jones, how have you been?”
“Young Master Jasper.” Lyra nodded as a greeting.
Jasper’s gaze fell on Nore and he smiled faintly. “Mr. Lubi is young and impetuous, but it’s best not to provoke people who should not be provoked, lest it affects the family business.”
The Barnwell group had cooperations with the Lubi Group. Nore was very clear about this.
