You Are My One and Only

Chapter 171

Chapter 171

It was only after hearing Patricia's yelp that Nikola looked down and saw that the painting was already half burned. Hurriedly, he extinguished the fire, but only the beautiful woman's head was left, which infuriated him to no end. "It hurts! My beauty, you haven't entered my dreams yet!"

Next to him, Percy nearly collapsed from laughter, while Isaac said coldly, "Nikola, in the future, stop listening to these rumors and don't do these lowly things either."

Even though he was a genius in the medical field, he was also a lunatic. Seeing that the painting was ruined, Nikola furiously threw it aside. "How boring. I only wanted to give it a try because I heard about it, but I didn't expect to lose this opportunity too."

Meanwhile, Patricia felt her heart ache as she watched as half a million went to waste just like that. She thought to herself, Young Master Ortega, if you think that you have too much money to spend, give it to me and I'll help you! We're talking about half a million here! What a waste.

When Nikola saw the necklace on Patricia's neck, he sneered. "Ise, you said I listen to rumors, but aren't you the same? You bought that necklace just because you believed that it can make couples love each other their entire lives. You're just like me."

Feeling Nikola's gaze, Patricia quickly reached out and stuffed the necklace into her clothes before smiling at him. "Young Master Ortega, this isn't that necklace! It just looks a little similar, but it doesn't have a black diamond."


Isaac had taught her this, and she had already figured out the mechanism of this necklace. As long as she hid the black diamond away, no one would know its value.

Nikola raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, Do you think I'm as stupid as you? Ise is just tricking you.

He picked up his wine glass and changed the topic. "Tricia, this venison tastes the best with wine."

As it was Patricia's first time eating grilled venison, she easily believed him, partially because she remembered that the characters in a movie she had watched once ate grilled venison that was served with warm wine on a snowy day as well. With the current weather, she felt that although it wasn't snowing, it was already cold enough.

Hence, she clinked her glass against his. "Cheers."

Isaac frowned slightly. What she was drinking was sparkling wine, and although it was delicious, it had strong aftereffects. Hence, when he placed a piece of grilled meat on her plate, he reminded, "Don't drink too much, Miss Aniston. This wine is quite strong."

Patricia rolled her eyes at him. As a matter of fact, she was already getting tipsy. "President Arnold, you're so stingy. This wine tastes as good as a drink, so I won't get drunk. Are you not going to treat me if I have a few more drinks? What a cheapskate."

Isaac fell silent while Percy moodily drank his wine. Whenever he thought about how Darcie wouldn't come to beg him anymore, he instantly felt irritated.

However, Nikola laughed instead. "President Arnold, you're stingy indeed, stingy enough to give her a necklace worth 150 million as a present. Hahaha…"
