Chapter 273 The Worst One
She really wanted to cry, and even her voice was full of trembling. But she tried her best to hold back. She wanted to protect her last bit of pride. At least, she did not want to walk out of the door with red eyes. The apology in Hank’s eyes grew stronger, and his suppressed emotions surged in his chest. “I want you to…”. “What do you want me to do?” Lyra lifted her eyes to look at him, and the self-mocking smile on her lips deepened. “You want me to maintain my last elegance?” He had already brought her in under the watchful eyes of everyone and forced her to stay for so long.
Even if she walked out cleanly, who would believe that nothing had happened to
them?
Lyra sneered, “Then you better prepare a sum of hush money for me. Otherwise, the news of you publicly humiliating me tomorrow will definitely spread all over the city.” The man’s eyes darkened. “Oh, by the way, you just said, why did I have a scandal with Jing? Of course, it was because Uncle Priestley was good to me, because the Priestley family had power and influence, and because Jing could help me solve the trouble I encountered.” “Lyra!” Hank clenched his fists tightly. He was already on the verge of getting angry. But no matter how ugly his expression was, Lyra did not feel relieved at all. “Also, I think it is necessary to remind you that you are the worst man I have ever slept with.” After Lyra finished speaking, she threw his branded suit to the ground. She even stomped on it with the heel of her high heels. “It’s fine if you don’t want to pay the hush money. You can wear this suit and go out later.”
She was not to be outdone, which was deeply imprinted in the eyes of the man. He smashed his fist on the glass coffee table, and the entire coffee table instantly shattered.
The mottled fragments reflected the light, and it was very similar to an indescribable relationship between them.
She knew that he would lose his temper, but she did not expect that he would directly
slam the door and leave, even locking her inside. Only when the surroundings were quiet did Lyra’s tears suddenly fall. Following her cheeks, they passed by her collarbone where there was a green and red mark
She lowered her head and muttered to herself, “Lyra, you did the right thing. Otherwise, will you be trampled and bullied by him for the rest of your life?” On the auction platform outside, the auction had already begun. “Everyone, the next item is from a mysterious seller. Please take a look!” As the host said this, everyone’s eyes fell on the display platform behind him.
The LED light source shone on the jade bracelet. It was obvious that it was a top-quality item Lyra casually glanced at it and was shocked by the box that contained this bracelet.
This was her family’s item!
Just like the design drawings that Jimmy had asked her to make last time, they had all been used by her mother. Moreover, she remembered that on the inside of this bracelet, there was a small “Lyra”, just like the jade pendant Thinking of the puzzle left by her father in the secret compartment of the bookcase, Lyra did not think much and directly pressed the auction bell. “Distinguished guests, please don’t worry. I haven’t said the starting price yet. The starting price is two hundred thousand.” “Five hundred thousand.” Lyra pressed the speaker button on the microphone.
The host on stage was stunned. “That’s Hank’s private room,” someone reminded him through the microphone. The host immediately picked up the auction hammer, “Everyone, 500,000 going once.” Three times, no one spoke.
Because no one dared to challenge Hank, soon, a staff member delivered the bracelet to Lyra. “You have a good eye. Although this bracelet looks ordinary, it is very valuable.” The manager introduced it with a smile.
