Chapter 108 Thanks To Your Stepmother
When she handed over the check for twenty million, Lucy’s hand was shaking.
The staff pulled with her for a few seconds. Seeing that she was unwilling to let go, he smiled politely and said, “Mrs, thank you for your kindness.”
Lucy give it to him reluctantly.
As soon as she came out with the auction items, she met Linda, who had been waiting for a long time.
She froze for a moment, and Linda’s hand had already grabbed the jewelry box in her hand. “Oh, my God, it’s really a waste of money, Mrs. Jian. I’m too embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She said she was embarrassed, but quietly took the jewelry box.
Lucy’s face turned blue and pale. Embarrassed, she said, “I’m glad you like it, Mrs. Pei.”
“Yes, of course I like it. If I don’t like it, I won’t buy it back from abroad.” Linda hurriedly opened the jewelry box, revealing the diamond necklace inside, dazzling.
Lucy’s heart began to drip blood at the sight of the luster of the jewelry. After a moment, she came to her senses and asked in astonishment, “what did you say? Is this necklace yours?”
Linda deliberately raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if she accidentally spilled the beans. She smiled hypocritically, “it doesn’t matter who owns it. The most important thing is that it belongs to me now, doesn’t it? Do you agree, Mrs. Jian?”
“Of course it does!” Lucy widened her eyes in excitement. ‘since you like it, why do you take it out for auction? Five million is enough to solve the problem, but you ask me to spend twenty million!”
“I’m sorry.” Linda apologized in a light voice. Then she took out the necklace and put it on Andy’s neck excitedly. “Come on, daughter. Put it on.”
As she put it on, she said, “thank you for your stepmother’s help today. Otherwise, I would have been worried about what gift I should give you as a gift.”
After she put it on, she looked at it with admiration. “It’s so suitable.”
Knowing that Linda was provoking Lucy on purpose, Andy didn’t refuse. She smiled shyly and said, “thank you, mother.”
Lucy was so angry that her cheeks bulged up, as if she was eager to cut her into pieces.
She hadn’t worn such valuable jewelry since she had married to Jeff for so many years. How could she deserve this, little bitch!
“Don’t thank me. We are family now.” As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and clapped her hands, “Oh, by the way, I almost forget that half of the auction income will be donated, and the other half will still be returned to the auction owner. Since the necklace is given to you now, I will ask someone to open an account for you and save the rest ten million to your name. Asking a professional fund manager to help you manage it. Everyone is watching this, and don’t being robbed by those arrogant people.”
She cast a sidelong glance at Lucy with a hint of threat and warning in her eyes.
Lucy now realized that the reason why she invited her here was to vent her anger on Andy.
If she stayed longer, she would lose more than twenty million.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly calmed herself down. She didn’t even dare to say goodbye and left in her high heels.
Looking at her receding figure, Linda and Andy smiled at each other. The gap between them disappeared.
After the charity auction, they joined the party.
As the protagonist, Andy was toasted a lot, and her face gradually turned red. She was not good at drinking.
“I’m sorry.” At the right time, Peter showed up and smiled politely to the guest, “can you lend me my sister?”
People were all perceptual animals. His image of a righteous young man, coupled with a warm smile in the spring wind, was completely unbearable. They could only left like birds and beasts with good temper.
As soon as she left, Peter changed the champagne in his hand with that in Andy’s. “when you become famous in the future, this kind of scene is common. You are so honest every time. You will have a stomachache.”
Andy frowned and didn’t understand what he meant.
Peter clinked glasses with her and said, “have a try.”
With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Andy took a sip with curiosity. Then her eyes lit up, “honey water?”
“Well,” said Peter, squinting his eyes. “Congratulations! You have mastered the first secret of being able to drink a thousand glasses of wine.”
Andy sighed and smiled, “thank you.”
“You’ve already been my sister. Why don’t you call me brother?” Said Peter jokingly.
“EMM…” said Andy awkwardly after a long pause, “brother, thank you.”
Looking at her with a faint smile, Peter reached out his hand and wanted to hold her face, but finally he turned around and landed on her silky head. He patted it lightly and said, “good girl.”
Andy was not used to it and dodged slightly, but he could still touch her.
The smile on Peter’s face deepened. It was not bad to be a brother and sister. At least, he could protect her well.
Perhaps, this was the best arrangement.
At this time, a hearty laughter broke in, “hahaha, Mr. Pei, you have been watching so closely before. Now, I can make a friend with Miss Jian, right?”
As he spoke, Allan Ji had already walked to the front of the two.
Both of them smiled at each other and shrugged. It’s up to her.
However, Allan couldn’t wait to hand in his business card. “Miss. Jane, Ji Group is also involved in the clothing business. I hope we can cooperate next time.”
Taking the gilded business card, she pursed her lips in surprise and said, “thank you for your support, Mr. Ji.”
“I’m not as simple as I said,” Allan said confidently, holding a glass of champagne in his hand. ‘the gate of the Ji group is always open for you. It’s not a big deal to pay the liquidated damages for you.”
“Hey, hey,” said Peter unhappily, “is it really appropriate to poach someone in front of me?”
“Ha ha, don’t be so stingy. Mr. s Jian, if you step onto a higher platform, Pei family will also have a prestige.” Allan teased.
‘save it. I know what you are up to.” Said Peter awkwardly.
“I’m just cherishing my talent. Don’t be ungrateful.” Allan said seriously.
Peter smacked his lips and was about to continue, but someone was faster than him.
“I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.” Bill strode forward and said in a serious tone, “I’ve already booked her next cooperation.”
when did I agree to sign the contract with him?”Andy wondered?
She opened her mouth and wanted to deny, but then Bill added, “after all, she owes me a favor. She has to pay me back, doesn’t she?”
Andy gritted her teeth unwillingly. This guy really didn’t suffer any loss.
But he didn’t say anything wrong. If it weren’t for him, she would have taken the children to foreign streets.
She forced a smile to show her acquiescence.
With a satisfied look in his eyes, Bill raised his eyebrows defiantly and said, “I’m flattered.”
It was impossible to rob him in this city.
