“Hugo, since you care for Dorothy that much, then you two can go live hard days together.”
Since Kiara had caused a disturbance at the company, Hugo deliberately stayed away for several days as punishment.
He assumed she would contact him constantly, just as she used to.
However, for three days in a row, Kiara stayed quietly at home, showing no interest in anything related to him.
Eventually, Hugo decided to return on his own.
As soon as he returned, he seized the business newspaper from her grip.
“Kiara, stop acting. I’ve been gone for days, you must have missed me, yet you still pretend not to care.”
“I won’t bring up what happened at the company. There’s an auction tonight. You’re coming with me.”
She initially intended to refuse, but since she hadn’t met her parents yet, she thought she could buy them something there.
Seeing her agree, Hugo snorted quietly. He knew she was only pretending not to care.
That evening, Hugo arrived first. When Kiara showed up, she realized Dorothy was there as well.
Hugo held Dorothy’s hand. “Dorothy will be the mother of my child in the future. There will be many events like this going forward, so I brought her to get used to the setting beforehand.”
Kiara no longer paid any attention. Without replying, she walked straight inside.
After sitting down, the first lot presented was a gentleman’s brooch that had once belonged to the British royal family.
Kiara lifted her paddle. “One million.”
A subtle smile appeared on Hugo’s face. He thought Kiara intended to purchase it as a way to reconcile with him.
However, in the next second, Dorothy lifted her paddle as well. “Two million.”
Kiara frowned and bid again. “Three million.”
Dorothy did not have much money and looked at Kiara with a pitiful look. “Sister Kiara, I really like this brooch. Could you let me have it?”
Kiara mocked. “Now you remember to talk about giving way? Where was that attitude when you were taking what belonged to me? If you’re capable, add money and purchase it yourself.”
Dorothy’s eyes immediately turned red with grievance as she glanced toward Hugo.
Hugo’s expression hardened, and he lifted the paddle on Dorothy’s behalf. “Five million.”
Kiara bit down hard. “Eight million.”
“Ten million.”
Ten million for a brooch was indeed overpriced, and that was all the cash she currently had, so Kiara could only stop bidding.
In the end, Hugo won the brooch at ten million.
