Chapter 44 Kieran And I Showed Off Our Love


    I was shocked and looked straight at Kieran. I couldn''t believe he actually showed up!


    "Mr. Charles, wee. You should have informed us so that we could have picked you up. I feel bad


    having youe all this way by yourself!" Marvin was like a totally different person. He grinned in a


    fawning way like a dog standing a few meters away from Kieran.


    Shania stopped smirking and put on another kind of smile to wee Kieran.


    Alicia''s sweet smile froze. She clenched her hands under the table, and anger shed through her


    eyes. However, she did not say anything but leaned on Marlon demurely.


    Marlon watched Kieran sit down beside me, and his eyes were clouded with displeasure, but he


    remained silent.


    Everyone got himself seated. It felt strange in the huge hall, silent. I gazed at Kieran from the corner of


    my eye and felt overwhelming warmth.


    "Still angry?" Kieran moved his face closer to mine, his scarlet eyes glittering. "Don''t be mad at me.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    This is for you!" As he spoke, he presented a luxurious ivory-colored box to me.


    I nced at him, and he smiled at me. I was dumbfounded, not because of the gift, but because at this


    moment, I could only see his evil but heartwarming smile.


    Kieran opened the box. A gorgeous diamond ne was lying inside it.


    "Destiny!" Shania stood up in shock and gaped at the ne in the box. "This, this costs more than


    six million!"


    I retracted my hand and looked at Kieran in disbelief. Kieran smiled and put it on me. "Stop being


    angry!"


    "You, you just gave it to her!" Shania stuttered in shock.


    Marvin pulled Shania down and shot her a reproachful nce. Shania regained herposure and fell


    silent. Marvin repeatedly praised, "Mr. Charles has an excellent taste. Excellent indeed. My Rachael


    looks fantastic wearing it!"


    Alicia clenched her fists, and her fingernails cut into her flesh. However, she smiled, "Mr. Charles, my


    sister is quite innocent. Don''t fool her with jewelry. I won''t allow it!"


    Kieran looked up at Alicia. Alicia wanted to look away from his scarlet eyes, but reason told her not to.


    Kieran raised his hand and caressed my hair casually. "Don''t worry, Miss Alicia. I never y with


    women. Such a gesture suggests ... I am serious!"


    I quickly looked up at Kieran. And he turned around with a smile.


    Marlon''s eyes were like dark abysses. He said word by word, "Mr. Charles, don''t say things you don''t


    mean. Just admit it. You are merely ying the field."


    "Please excuse me!" I had enough of that crap, so I stood up and went to the bathroom. However, no


    sooner had I entered it than Alicia walked in.


    "Rachael, my sister, you are so cheap. One tiny trinket from Mr. Charles, and you are over the moon!"


    Alicia looked at me with contempt.


    I washed my hands and leaned on the edge of the sink. "I''m happy. What''s wrong with that? This


    ne is worth over six million!"


    Alicia looked morose. She dropped the act and said, "You shameless, ugly and t bitch. I don''t know


    what kind of witchcraft you used to put Kieran under your spell for the time being, but I am curious if


    Kieran still wants you when he sees how disgusting and base you are!"


    I had a premonition. Then Alicia tore her clothes, pped herself, and pulled her hair, running out


    crying.


    I leaned against the washstand and listened to the noise outside. I sighed fiercely. Actually, I was


    hungry. Why couldn''t I finish my meal?


    I slowly walked out. Alicia was in Marlon''s arms, and Shania was anxiously patting her back. Alicia


    yowled andined to Kieran, "Mr. Charles, I wanted to take a closer look at the ne you gave


    my sister. However, not only did she not allow it, but she even beat me fiercely and insulted me, saying


    I didn''t deserve to look at it. Mr. Charles, I, I think she is in a bad mood. Please, help her cheer up!"


    Shania also cried, "Rachael, it''s okay if you don''t want others to touch the ne, but you didn''t have


    to hit your sister. Look at how miserable she is!"


    Marvin cast me an angry nce. Nevertheless, he held his tongue and suppressed his rage because


    Kieran was present.


    "She has touched this one. It''s dirty. I''ll buy you a new one tomorrow!" Kieran said. In an instant, the


    noisy hall fell silent. Marvin, Shania, and Alicia all looked at Kieran with astonished gaze. They would


    not have guessed in a million years that Kieran would say such words.


    "Let''s go home!" Kieran waved at me.


    Under the sparkling crystal chandelier, I only saw Kieran. I broke into smiling. "Alright, let''s go!" Then I


    left with him.


    Marlon clenched his hidden hand, whose veins were twitching violently. Deep in his inky eyesy a


    murderous chill.


    "Mr. Charles, thank you!" I followed Kieran to his car and sincerely thanked him.


    No one had ever stood up for me when I was being bullied. There had only been criticism and disgust


    towards me.


    But just now, Kieran was on my side and saved me from those things.


    "I believe this is yours!" I took off my ne and handed it back to Kieran. Kieran nced at it, took a


    paper bag, and put it in with a disgusted look. Then the bag was thrown into a corner in the car.


    I felt likeughing and didn''t restrain myself.


    "What are youughing at?"


    I smiled and looked up at him. "I was thinking that, Mr. Charles, you gave it to me in front of everyone,


    and what if I hadn''t returned it to you?"


    "You would pay for it with your sry!" Kieran said indifferently.


    I was taken aback.


    Although I was overjoyed at my first victory in the Cornell''s tonight, I was sensible enough to know I


    couldn''t take what was not mine. The ne didn''t belong to me, so I wouldn''t keep it. In fact, if


    Kieran hadn''t wanted it back, I would have felt weird!


    Kieran never wasted his money!


    "Mr. Charles, thank you for finishing the show with me tonight. I appreciate it!" I watched as Kieran got


    into the car and expressed my gratitude again.


    "I said don''t thank me too early!" With that, he drove away.


    I didn''t give his words much thought and went home happily. Just as I was about to go to bed after a


    shower, there was a knock on the front door.


    The first person that came to my mind was Kieran!


    "Mr. Charles!" I quickly went to open the door, only to see Marlon standing outside it with a gloomy


    expression.
