Gianna looked towards Kingsley.
Their eyes met in the air.
Both of them looked away almost immediately at the same time.
Kingsley shouted at the host, “Hurry up and finish the deal!”
The host was watching fun too, and he quickly reacted, “30 million yuan first!”
“30 million yuan second!”
“Last chance, sold! Congratulations to Mr. Walker!”
Everyone applauded.
Kingsley went to the stage and took the jewel under everyone’s attention.
The jewel was put inside a delicate glass jewelry box. The blue light was dazzling under the light, many
people could not wait to see it up close.
Just then, Kingsley walked towards Caesar and Gianna.
Caesar frowned.
He probably thought he was going to brag about the jewel he got.
Yet out of his expectation, Kingsley handed the jewel straight to Gianna. “Take it.”
Everyone was so shocked that their jaw dropped.
They used to hear that Kingsley was extremely debauched and he never played by the rules, now they
finally witnessed it.
Gianna looked at Kingsley.
“Didn’t you like it?” Kingsley asked her.
He said it clearly and there was some sort of intimacy.
Gianna was inexplicably moved.
“Gina won’t…” Before Caesar finished his words, Kingsley had handed the jewelry box directly to
Gianna.
And Gianna took it over.
She took it over and did not reject.
Caesar stared at Gianna in disbelief.
Gianna said, “Since Mr. Walker insists, I couldn’t resist.”
Kingsley obviously smiled.
His smile could bewitch every woman.
He looked away and said to Caesar, “And this is what meant by a virtuous man won’t deprive someone
of the thing he or she loves.”
He was teasing his hypocritical remark just now.
Caesar’s look became gloomy.
And he did not intend to conceal it.
“Bye,” Kingsley said to Caesar.
Yet Gianna felt that he was saying that to her at that moment.
She watched him left in a carefree way.
She had to say that although he had acted a little more reckless tonight, he had indeed demonstrated
his powerful aura.
So was that how he managed to win women’s heart?
“When had Kingsley Walker become that handsome?” Maureen used to have loose lips and she
blurted out.
Caesar looked even gloomier when he heard that.
Yet Gianna let out a smile that could not be discerned.
Caesar always flaunted that he was different from other rich boys. He assumed himself to be a virtuous
and extraordinary person and was always disdainful towards others.
The public also lauded him. They said that he was a genius that only existed once in a thousand years
in Country B. With his family background, knowledge and capability, he was so perfect that people
blamed the god for being biased.
Gianna only then knew the physical qualities he had were all bought by the Kennedy family for him.
They had let him grow up in an environment full of praises and attention, and had paved an ambitious
way for him since he was little. Caesar had believed in all of these and he really thought he was more
magnificent than others.
He was certainly disgruntled when he was humiliated by Kingsley.
Maureen seemed to realize it was not a good time for her to say that.
She stuck her tongue out and said, “It’s been late now, Gina, I have to go now.”
Gianna nodded. “Stay safe.”
“Sure.”
She left.
The charity banquet came to its end too and the guests all gradually left the hall.
Caesar held back all his dissatisfaction and sent Gianna home.
Inside the car, Gianna did not speak. She glimpsed at the sapphire intermittently.
Caesar did not speak too. It was obvious he was still in a rage.
He could even imagine how the media would describe him tomorrow!
The more he thought of it, the angrier he was. He looked up at Gianna and spoke rudely, “How could
you take his thing?”
He seemed to have held back his urge to say the next line: You’ve embarrassed me!
Gianna said, “My mom’s going to celebrate her birthday, she kinda likes this sapphire, so I want to give
it to her.”
“Even so…”
“I wanted to buy it myself in the first place,” Gianna interrupted him. “But you stopped me.”
Caesar was suddenly speechless.
He clearly thought Gianna intended to let him pay the bill back then.
Gianna spoke blandly, “I’ve told my father before I attended the banquet, that I want to get that
sapphire and give it to my mom. I want to give my mom a surprise, and my dad agreed. He didn’t limit
my spending.”
Caesar was obviously a little embarrassed.
He only said at length, “I, I was just afraid that you’ll get tricked by that wastrel. That’s why I stopped
you.”
Gianna did not expose his lie.
She said, “Since Kingsley Walker did not appreciate it, there’s nothing wrong if I take it.”
“But the thing is given by that wastrel…”
“Caesar, you never call someone names, why have you changed now?” Gianna asked with an innocent
look.
Caesar was startled.
“You’ve kept on calling him wastrel tonight and I feel like I don’t know you anymore. I always thought
you won’t say those kinds of things.” Gianna looked utmostly disappointed.
Caesar quickly replied, “I was only being a little angry because he kept on irritating me tonight. If you
don’t like it, I’ll not say it anymore, okay?”
Gianna nodded.
Caesar was initially brimmed with anger, yet because of her words, he could only choose to suppress
his urge to explode.
Gianna secretly sneered.
Didn’t he want to be a hypocrite?
She would let him be one for the rest of his life.
…
Caesar drove her back to the Morris villa.
“Miss Morris!” The moment she got out of the car and walked towards the house, that voice was
abruptly heard again and she was nearly scared to death.
She stared angrily at the man who was leaning against the wall gracefully and had his arms crossed
before his chest under the streetlight.
“Do you have to show up out of nowhere?” she said gruffly.
“Isn’t it how a love affair should be?”
“Who would have a love affair with you?” Gianna felt that she was going to lose her temper despite
having proper etiquette training.
“I thought you fancy my body when you wanted me to ruin the marriage.”
“…” Could she kill him with a stick?
“If not, give me back the card!” he suddenly digressed.
Gianna took a deep breath to regain her composure. She said, “Wait here.”
Kingsley nodded.
Gianna went into her house, got the card and returned it to him.
Kingsley took the card and was ready to leave.
Gianna stopped him. “I’ll pay you the sapphire’s money afterwards.”
“It’s fine,” Kingsley said. “I don’t need that little money.”
Excuse me?
If he did not appreciate that little money, why was he chasing her for the card?
“Goodnight, Miss Morris.” Kingsley went inside his extraordinarily conspicuous red sports car and left
straightaway.
Not knowing why, Gianna had a feeling that Kingsley himself was totally different from the image he
gave others.
Was it an illusion?
No.
It was true. He was actually quite profound.
And the profound man was now driving his car while looking at the card between his fingers with a
playful look. No one could ever tell what he was thinking from his face.
He looked away and connected to Bluetooth. “Hey, Horace.”
“Bruce has returned.”
“Got it,” he replied.
“I heard that you’ve spent 30 million yuan tonight just to please a chick?” Horace could not help but
ask.
Kingsley let out a smile. “Yes, I’m in love.”
“…” Horace was stupefied.
He felt that he had heard the biggest joke in his life.
That man who had never gone interested in women was now telling him he was in love with an
uncanny tone.
As if…he was the only man who knew how to deal with a romantic relationship.
Come, on!
