Love Is Fair By Kerri Chapter 38
Chapter 038 Unreasonable Indulgence The troublemakers were chased out of the venue, while Hailey,
who sshed wine on those women, had done her part.
She wanted to leave, but Brook and Vanessa stopped her and persuaded her to stay. Brook coaxed
her, “Alright, don’t be angry. Later, just tell me anything you like during the auction. I’ll buy it for you!” As
they walked out with her in their arms, Brook gently grumbled, “Call me when something like this
happens again, okay? Don’t do it yourself. What if you get hurt? Do you enjoy seeing me being
punished?”
The onlookers were dumbfounded as they watched Brook unreasonably spoiled Hailey.
The people who did not know the situation started guessing what kind of rtionship Brook had with
Hailey. Those who knew a little about them knew that the Newmans and the Kirnds had always been
close, but they didn’t know exactly how close they were.
However, one thing was for sure. After the fearsome wine-sshing incident, those who had been
gossiping about Hailey shut their mouths and dared not say a word.
When the crowd dispersed, Owen’s gaze darkened when he looked at Brook’s
arm around Hailey’s shoulder, and a hint of malice shed through them.
“What’s their rtionship?” he asked in a low voice.
“I can’t say for sure.” Matthew clicked his tongue and asserted, “I’m not sure about Hailey, but I heard
that Brook is not Mrs. Kirnd’s son, and no one knows who his birth mother is. They are not siblings
of the different father or different mother. Hmm, maybe they are sworn siblings?”
Owen pursed his lips tightly.
He would not allow Hailey to have any brother who was not rted to her by blood!
The banquet was very lively. The organizer invited many popr models to go on stage for a show.
Apanied by extremely lively music, the atmosphere
quickly became bustling.

perform. A recently popr actors who had just made a fame through his drama went on stage and
sang a song he had produced himself. The socialites, who were his fans, screamed and cheered.
Hailey, who was sitting in the first row, was dignified and expressionless, but her bright eyes indicated
that she appreciated the talent of the celebrity
Brook leaned toward her and asserted, “His name is Dorian Britt, a celebrity
under Artistic Talent. Originally, he was trained to be a singer, but his debut as a boy group was
cancelled, so he changed his career path into bing an actor. Unexpectedly, he bes famous.”
“His singing ability is not bad. It’s a pity that he can’t be a singer,” Hailey said faintly.
Brook nced at her and asked casually, “Do you like him? Do you want me to scout him over?”
Hailey shook her head gently. “Nah. Now, his career is on the rise. An icing on the cake is meaningless,
and he may not take a fancy to the current Southern Star. Also, I don’t think Artistic Talent will want to
let go of their cash cow now.”
“Reid has ruined Southern Star. There have been too many scandals engulfing thepany in the past
few years, so something must be done to save it. But you don’t have to worry too much since Cayden
is supporting it.” Hailey shook her head again, and there was a hidden sharpness in her eyes.
“Mom founded Southern Star Entertainment for Cayden back then, but now, it has be the burden
of his acting career. This is not her original intention, and I will never allow such a thing to happen.”
Brook nodded. “Cayden’s still shooting his film in the middle of the forest. His shooting should be done
soon. It’s time for us siblings to get together.” Upon the mention of her brothers, Hailey hummed lightly
with a nod, and her cold expression immediately softened. With a smile, Brook touched Hailey’s head,
which earned a disdainful and
resentful gaze from her.
Owen, who was sitting diagonally across from Hailey, watched the intimate actions of the two people
and the obvious happiness on Hailey’s face. This

sight irritated him a lot, and he was extremely grumpy. It seemed that she had returned to her former
obedience just now, but her rxed attitude in front of Brook was something she had never shown to
him.
What was the rtionship between the two of them?!
After the dinner, Grace, as the chief editor of “Zero Hour”, went up to the stage and gave her speech.
As the symbol of fashion demoness in the fashion world, Vanessa was not only the pinnacle of fashion
but also the role model in charity
Grace’s speech was short and straightforward. After a few simple words of thanks, she ended her
speech and began the charity auction. All the money raised tonight would be donated to Western
Medical Charity Project, and all the transactions would be transparent.
For many celebrities, the dinner was already over at this point, but for Hailey,
the event had just begun.
She didn’t regret what had happened today, but she felt a little sorry for Grace. In order to show her
apology, she decided to show her support during the auction.
As the guests moved to the small hall for the auction, Hailey was still sitting in the first row. However,
the light on her body dimmed automatically to prevent anyone from secretly taking her photos.
Although they had already prompted the reporters about this, they would have to delete them manually
if any of her photos were uploaded to the Inte. It was better safe than sorry.
The auctioneer was introducing the auction items provided by the guests. Hailey came empty-handed
tonight, so she directly took off the emerald pendant on her neck as an auction item.
“Number 01 is a pair of hibiscus jade bracelets donated by Miss Grace. The
starting price is 100,000 dor!” “Alright, 200,000 dor!” “300,000!
“Is there a higher bid? 400,000 dor!”
“Half a million!”
Just as Hailey raised the sign, the auctioneer shouted excitedly, “500,000 going

. .10 once, 500,000 going twice, 500,000 going thrice! Congrattions to Miss
Newman for being the highest bidder for the pair of hibiscus jade bracelets!” The auction became so
lively as soon as it began. Vanessa felt very proud and overjoyed due to the spirited sensation. She
stood up and made a gesture of love to Hailey. Hailey gently raised her chin and revealed a smile.
“Number 02 is a small jade screen donated by Mr. Luca Edwards of Freaktube Group. The starting
price is 200,000!”
Luca stood up and raised his hand with a smile. Eve, who was sitting next to him, held her neck high
and felt honored. Brook nced at Luca and narrowed his eyes at the little thing on the stage. “Is it
authentic?” he asked Hailey.
Hailey looked at the auction information on the list without raising her head and said lightly, “Morgan
has collected a lot of worthless items. I guess Eve stole it from his room for Luca.” Otherwise, why
would Luca bring Eve to such an asion? On the other side, Matthew also asked, “Is that thing really
worth 200,000?” Owen was simrly looking at the auction items on the list. His eyes were fixed on the
four small porcin tes, and he replied in a light tone, “The jade is not valuable, but the base is
small enamel bowls, and he replied in a light tone, “The jade is not valuable. The base was made in the
early 20th century, so it can barely be considered as an antique. If you want, give me the money. I’ll
buy one on the market for youter.” “How much does it really worth?” Matthew asked.
“A thousand.”
Matthew blinked, dumbstruck.
He red at Luca in dismay and felt contemptuous toward him.
However, there were the ignorant few who thought that the item was valuable because it had jade on it.
They kept offering higher and higher bid, and in the end, someone won the bid with 700,000 dors.
Matthew and Brook both felt sorry for that sucker.
The auction went on like a raging fire. Soon, more than ten items were sold, and the total amount of the
auction also rushed to five million. Hailey asked Brook

to offer his price and bought a silver hairpin and an oil painting. They weren’t anything valuable. She
simply wanted Brook to spend some money. “Are you happy now?” Brook asked with a grin. Seeing
Hailey raise her
eyebrows and hum, he tapped her forehead with his finger. “Cheeky girl.” Spotting Brook’s actions
toward Hailey, Owen tightened his grip on the auction booklet and shot a sharp gaze at him.
“The next item is an emerald pendant donated by Miss Hailey, the president of Crystaldale Company.
The starting price is seven million!”
As soon as the auctioneer finished his words, the audience burst into an uproar and instantly erupted
into amotion.
