Chapter 384 - THE EVENT (3)

The diamond show would be closed with the night\'s highlight, a bidding on a ring decorated with rare gems where the proceeds from the auction would be donated to a charitable foundation.

Therefore, all of them had to compete to get the jewelry. It was not that they had some moral responsibility to help others, of course that was not the reason.

But because having jewelry would portray their high status in society. As in today\'s society, people would judge your status depending on what you have.

And it was certain that the people involved in tonight\'s event were not random people you could meet at any time.

"You\'re not participating in this auction?" Candice asked Hailee who sat beside her and didn\'t seem very interested.

"Not really..." Hailee said, she then raised her hand and showed Candice her wedding ring from Ramon. "That ring wouldn\'t go well with this ring."

In other words, Hailee could not match the ring that was being auctioned with her wedding ring, and it would be impossible for her to take off her wedding ring and replace it with another ring.

Therefore, Hailee was not too interested in the ring, although it could be said that the ring currently being auctioned was very pretty and beautiful.

"You two really can be envied," Candice commented. "I didn\'t expect there to be stupid news about Ramon and Giana." Even if the news was true, couldn\'t Ramon not be called having an affair? While he was not in a serious relationship with anyone.

"Don\'t worry, I think Lexus will treat you the same. Because after all, the two of them are brothers, so it\'s no surprise that he treats you so sweetly." Hailee raised her eyebrows and gave Candice a meaningful look.

And it reminded Candice of the coffee misunderstanding the other day and it made her smile a little.

Hailee was happy that Lexus had met Candice, because even though they weren\'t very close back then, they were now close enough to attend a celebration party together.

Right after that moment, Hailee caught sight of Giana who had just entered the room. She sat three tables away from where Hailee and Candice were sitting.

Their gazes met and Hailee gave Giana the best and sweetest smile she could show, raising her drink as if offering her a toast.

Hailee felt happy every time she managed to piss off Giana and maybe she should stop this habit soon...

Because it was like an addiction to her...

"Yes! And the price is closed with an offer from participant number one nine eight!" a slightly fat man dressed in white cried. He banged the hammer, indicating that the ring had been sold.

Hailee didn\'t really take part in this auction event, because her purpose in coming here was to provoke Giana.

However, she was a little surprised when she heard her name being called.

"Mrs. Tordoff, you can go up the stage to pick up your ring…" the man said, smiling very broadly, as if he was the one who got the expensive ring.

"Hmm?" Hailee frowned. She didn\'t remember that she took part in tonight\'s bidding…

"You have to go," Candice said, smiling very cheerfully.

Wait, did I miss something? Hailee thought in confusion…

"What is this?" Hailee whispered to Candice in a low voice. She didn\'t think she had won the auction when she didn\'t follow it at all.

"Didn\'t you hear what he said?" Candice laughed softly and patted Hailee on the back as she shook her head.

Hailee\'s concentration had only been on Giana until a moment ago when the man had announced something, so she wasn\'t really listening.

"Your husband, Ramon Tordoff, bought the ring for you," Candice told Hailee about it, like a very kind person. She even emphasized the words \'your husband\' to get Hailee\'s attention. "You should be smiling broadly now. Even though you forbade him to participate in this event, your husband has other ways of showing his presence."

"Ramon bet for me?" Hailee repeated this while standing, because she couldn\'t possibly keep the people clapping for her any longer. "Well, that seems to be a thing Ramon would do for me."

Hailee didn\'t know what she did to get a guy like Ramon.

As Hailee walked through the rows of patrons, the women she passed stared at her with envy while the men gazed at her with admiration.

Of course, Hailee in this red dress looked so energetic, sexy and seductive.

Along Hailee\'s journey to retrieve the ring, hundreds of pairs of eyes followed her and she was very sure that one of them was Giana. And knowing that alone made Hailee feel very happy.

After Hailee had reached the podium, the man greeted her and congratulated her, while handing her a jewelry box that looked very beautiful, expensive and luxurious.

Some people could only hope to have it, while Hailee, who didn\'t really want the ring, just got it.

While receiving the ring box and signing some documents as standard procedure that was always done in every auction…

Hailee took the time to look at Giana who was still sitting pretty in her seat, she looked not at all happy about Hailee getting this ring in such a high profile manner and didn\'t clap for her.

Nor was there a smile she offered Hailee, even if it was just a fake smile.

However, it wasn\'t a problem for her. Thus, when their gazes met, Hailee glanced coquettishly at Giana, provoking her further.

See? It\'s like an addiction for Hailee to piss her off…

=================

When the event was over, all the guests have left the room to return home or continue their own party.

Hailee stood in the hotel lobby and waited for Giana, while Candice was waiting for her in the car first.

"I was waiting for you," Hailee said like an innocent girl waiting for her sister to pick her up. It didn\'t match the sly look in Hailee\'s eyes at all.

"Very well," Giana replied sarcastically, she lifted her chin haughtily, showing a strong domineering aura.

"Let\'s go out together and face the press, so they can see that our relationship isn\'t that bad," Hailee said cheerfully.

At this point, Giana started to get suspicious about the plan that Hailee was working on in her little head. What was her purpose of doing all this?

Giaan knew something wasn\'t right here, but she couldn\'t pinpoint what was wrong either.

"Our relationship is not really bad, so there\'s no need to try and show otherwise," Giana said fiercely.

"Of course not, how can I be on good terms with the person who killed my baby and was also involved in the kidnapping by her own uncle," Hailee said in a dark tone. The smile on her lips faded, as her voice turned serious. "What\'s your uncle\'s name again? Leon Dawson, right?"

"You don\'t know who you\'re provoking Hailee," Giana said fiercely. "I hope you will carry Ramon\'s baby again and I will do the same as I did before." Giana walked over and said in a lower, savage voice. "And I\'ll do even worse for the babies you\'ll be carrying."

Hearing this, Hailee clenched her jaw tightly trying not to get emotional and maintained her smile that threatened to turn stiff.

Because after all, Hailee felt the urge to kill Giana right then and there.

"Like what for example?" Hailee asked in a stiffer voice. "Like when you kill your own baby with the drugs you take?"

Giana laughed, but the laughter didn\'t reach her eyes. "Yeah, you can imagine it that way. You did this to me. So when you get pregnant again, pay attention to the food you are going to eat, because there might be poison in it." And that was a threat. Even a deaf person would know it was a threat.

"I will remember it well." Hailee smiled at Giana as usual and nodded, as if she took good advice from this woman in front of her.

After saying those threatening lines, Giana tossed her hair and lifted her chin arrogantly, before she nodded at the guard there to open the lobby door for her.

But, nimbly, before Giana stepped out of the lobby, Hailee had taken her hand and walked along with her.

And instantly it could be seen that the two women involved in the recent hot news were stepping out together, hand in hand and that was not what the reporters there were waiting for.

However, still, the scene was something that must be captured, where the first photo from tonight\'s event was a photo of Hailee and Giana walking together, exiting the hotel lobby.

"What are you doing?" Giana hissed and pushed Hailee\'s body, causing the woman to stagger slightly, but not enough to fall off on her five-inch high heels. "You want to do another trick?" Giana folded her arms and looked at Hailee angrily.

On the other hand, Hailee wasn\'t bothered at all, either by Giana or the questions from the crowd of reporters.

"Watch me," Hailee said quietly while glancing at Giana, then she faced the reporters who were waiting. "You\'d better stop spreading stupid news about the affair between my husband and this woman, because here, I have much more legit news than that."

Hailee then showed something in her hand, a small object that would destroy Giana\'s reputation.
