Chapter 039 The Price to Pay

The total amount of the first dozen lots added up to less than five million, but Hailey’s bid started from seven million!

What kind of a crazy rich woman was she?

Those who didn’t know anything about antique poked their heads out and looked ahead, but because they were sitting far away, they could only vaguely see a beautiful back under the dim light. In spite of that, her back exhumed the aura of wealth and nobility. “What? Emerald? What kind of emerald pendant is worth so much money?” The chatter in the crowd quickly spread.

Those who knew about antique stared at the shining emerald pendant on the stage while secretly checking the money in their account. They wanted it so badly, but unfortunately, their pockets were not deep enough. Owen’s eyes flashed as he looked at Hailey, who was sitting in the darkness of

the light. He recognized the necklace on the stage. She wore it when she came here.

Matthew thought of something and said, “Hey, isn’t this necklace that Hailey wore when she came here? So, did she just take it off for the auction? Wow, she is so generous.” The auctions held by a fashion magazine like this were relatively small, and there was usually nothing nice to be sold at the auction. Not only Matthew, but Owen also was reluctant to attend this kind of auction. He came today specifically because of Hailey. Earlier, when Matthew was surfing the Internet, he saw the list of attendees for “Zero Hour” fashion charity dinner. Fans cheered wildly for their beloved idols being invited to this kind of grandeur event and felt that their idols were doing great Matthew was laughing at the fans, but when he spotted Hailey’s name on the

list, his eyes blinked in astonishment and immediately went to get an invitation while asking Owen, “Hey, do you want to go?” “Will Hailey go?” Owen glanced at him.

“Probably not,” Matthew blurted. After a short pause, he added, “Probably will.”

“Let’s go,” said Owen.

He couldn’t make an appointment to see her, nor could he get his hands on her schedule. What else could he do except to try his one in ten thousand chance to bump into her at the dinner?

Owen had never been so humble in his life.

Was this the price he had to pay for the three years he had neglected her? “Oh, it’s so tiring,” he thought to himself. Looking at Hailey’s bare neck, Brook said, “I remember that you like the necklace very much. Are you really want to give it away just like that? You don’t have to do so even if you want to support Grace.”

Vanessa chimed in, “He’s right. Hailey, I’m happy enough that you can be here.

You don’t have to donate such an expensive item.”

Hailey smiled faintly.
