"A year ago, on our wedding day, you said we would be honest with each other, but you have been hiding such a big secret." Charles looked at Suzy, trying to find the reason in her eyes.
Suzy froze for a moment, pondered, and said, "Really? I don't remember."
She nodded to him and said, "Mr Wolfson, I have to go now."
She turned to leave and Charles grabbed her wrist and brought her back. The warmth of his palm wrapped around her slim wrist as well.
Suzy twisted her wrist to break free, but Charles' palm reversed and snapped around her waist, then bent so that the tips of their noses were almost touching.
" Is that how much you want to avoid me?" Charles's warm breath breathed on Suzy's face.
"Mr Wolfson, I don't know what you mean, but I'm asking YOU to let me go!" Suzy's eyes were like a knife plunging straight into the bottom of Charles' eyes.
Charles frowned. As far as he could remember, she had never looked at him with such a look.
For some reason, an impulse rose in his heart, and his hand around her waist tightened a bit. He leaned down to kiss her.
But the next moment, the arms suddenly empty!
Charles looked up and saw Brandon holding Suzy's hands and looking at him with a sneer on his face.
Charles's face became gloomy, Charles did not hide his displeasure, he coldly ordered: "Brandon, let her go."
"What if I don't?" Brandon took Suzy by the shoulders and held her in his arms
“As long as I don't sign the divorce papers, she's still my wife. Mr. Foster, take your hands off my wife's shoulders.” Charles looks like he's about to suppress his anger.
His eyebrows were so drawn that there were two deep lines above his nose.
Suzy frowned. In Brandon's arms, Suzy felt discomfort.
Watching the atmosphere between the two men become tense, she felt as if their feud was not simply business.
After a long standoff, seeing more and more people surrounding them, Suzy twisted her shoulder and broke free from Brandon's arm, she looked at Charles and asked, "Mr Wolfson, isn't the purpose of your visit today for that Ocean Express project?"
As she spoke, Joy and Catherine also came over.
Joy stepped up to Charles's side naturally, as if she were Charles's wife.
Charles moved a small step to the side and put some distance between him and Joy. He didn't want Suzy to see Joy and himself getting too close.
This small step may not have been noticed by anyone else, but Joy, who was standing next to Charles, did. In the eyes of others, she is just a mistress and has no business being compared to Suzy.The most acid did not feel jealous, but have no right to be jealous
She stared at Suzy, the gorgeous young lady in front of her, and felt her chances of winning were less again.
But Suzy didn't notice what had just happened between Joy and Charles. She didn't want to give any attention to them.
Suzy swept a glance at Catherine, "Originally, the cooperation was not negotiable, but I have changed my mind now, it is possible to cooperate, as long as you make Catherine apologize to me."
"Let me apologize to you, Suzy, have you lost your mind?" Catherine's eyes widened in anger when she heard Suzy's words.
Suzy looked at her with a smile, "It's okay, I can give Mr Wolfson a day to think about it, let's have fun at the auction tonight, after all, Heart of Rose is one of the lots, if the Wolfsons' things are auctioned off, I'm afraid others would laugh at you."
Heart of Rose is the necklace that Catherine took to pay off her gambling debts.
Once Catherine heard the name of the necklace, she didn't dare to say anything else.
Without any hesitation, Suzy walked away.
Charles could only stare at her back and see her leave.
At the auction.
Suzy was sitting at the front of the room, seemingly uninterested in the auctioneer's introduction of the lots. The first few lots went for good prices one after another, but Suzy didn't raise her cards once.
When the Heart of Rose was pushed onto the stage, she sat up straight. It seems that she is determined to buy this necklace.
"This necklace is called Heart of Rose, Fancy intense pink round brilliant-cut diamond of 5.44 carats, pear-shaped diamonds, platinum and yellow gold."
The auctioneer said, "The starting bid is two million dollars."
Suzy was the first to raise the sign in her hand.
"Two million two hundred thousand," said the auctioneer.
“Your outfit today is just short of a necklace like this. If you like it, I'll buy it and give it to you.” Brandon, who was sitting next to Suzy, said.
“What I like, I will buy it by myself. This necklace, you are not allowed to interfere.” Suzy said.
"OK, I'll stay out of it. "Brandon said.
He glanced back at the Wolfsons sitting in the back, right into Charles's eyes. Charles was looking right back at them.
Brandon tilted his chin at Charles defaintly.
Catherine tugged on her brother’s shirt, "What does Suzy mean by that?"
Charles ignored Catherine and raised the sign in his hand
"Two and a half million." The auctioneer said.
Just after the auctioneer's words, Suzy raised her card again.
"Two million eight hundred thousand." The auctioneer's voice seemed a little excited.
For a while, the entire auction looked at these two people. They were all waiting for a good show to start.
"Three million!"
Charles didn't hesitate and raised the sign in his hand again.
Catherine tugged on him and reminded him in a small voice: "Charles, she did it on purpose ......"
Charles boarded her a glance, Catherine immediately shouted her mouth. She knew it was her own fault and she was in no position to say anything.
