Chapter 128


    A stranger? The price he bid was sky-high! It was obvious that he was interested in the woman on


    the stage. Frederick was immediately irked.


    In an instant, the audience burst into an uproar and the supporters were so shocked that their jaws


    dropped. After all, Hannah was a star who had millions of fans. Yet, the item she chose was only


    sold at one hundred thousand dors.


    This unknown woman almost overtook her in a short time. It was really surprising!


    The light was focused on Alicia. On the big screen behind her, her stunning appearance was shown


    on screen, which took every audiences'' breath away.


    "She''s so beautiful! She can definitelypete with Hannah! I should have voted for her just now..."


    "If only she was shown more on the screen!"


    "F*ck! She is extremely hot! It''s definitely worth it to be able to dance and hug her! Who knows, one


    might be able to develop further feelings with her!"


    "Stop dreaming! Maybe she''s a new fling from some bigpany''s boss! There are so many


    prominent figures here, don''t embarrass yourself! Have you seen her before? Who is she?"


    "I don''t know."


    There was a heated discussion going around and the veins on Frederick''s hands began to throb


    violently. At the same time, the price was raised to two hundred thousand dors in the blink of an


    eye.


    "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"


    As soon as Jeremy spoke, there was another outburst.


    "Two hundred and sixty thousand!" Simrly, although Marshall rk was frowning, he was very


    interested in Alicia and this opportunity.


    "280,000 dors!"


    The two of them kept bidding for a long time.


    Looking down at the stage, Alicia did not expect Jeremy topete with the man who flirted with


    her earlier. However, her face remained emotionless.


    No matter who bid higher, it was just the same for her! She was unwilling to sell the tie to neither of


    these men!


    However, the situation seemed to have settled. She guessed that it would eventually be sold to one


    of them!


    She pursed her lower lip slightly as she was unhappy.


    On the other side, looking at Alicia on the stage, Frederick was so enraged that he even had the


    impulse to kill those two men on the spot. Hannah was also shocked too as she didn''t expect a


    newbie to steal her thunder.


    Carson was even more dumbstruck. He muttered, "Frederick, Alicia''s charm is extraordinary! She


    really drove these men crazy!"


    Nheless, she was already taken!


    As Carson was silently abominating those men, he felt a sharp pain on his feet.


    "Ugh..."


    With a grunt, he lowered his head and noticed that Frederick''s leather loafer was stepping on his


    feet. "Frederick?"


    "Shut your d*mned mouth!"


    Only then did he notice that Frederick''s tone was unusual. Pursing his lips, Carson held back the


    pain without saying anything.


    He felt wronged and pitied himself.


    In the end, Jeremy bought the tie at the price of 300,000 dors.


    On the stage, Alicia took out the tie personally and ced it on his neck. In an instant, she felt that


    her heart skipped a beat and her breath seemed to have stopped. Her hands were trembling and


    she didn''t even dare to look at him!


    As for Jeremy, he had his gaze fixed on her.


    She had helped him put on his tie in the past, but it was a distant memory, which made his heart


    ache.


    It took her a lot of effort to tie it for him, then Alicia tidied it up for him very responsibly.


    It was just a small movement, but Jeremy, who was distressed, held his breath. He couldn''t help but


    hold her hands tightly...


    Alicia paused and looked at him subconsciously. Their eyes met and the force of his hands


    increased a little. They stared at each other for quite some time. It was so deep and affectionate


    that they were like a pair of long-lost lovers.


    At this moment, Frederick''s face was gloomy and dull. Carson noticed that something was off, thus


    he asked, "Were they..." Lovers in the past?


    He had always thought that this man had been chasing after Alicia one-sidedly, but at this instant,


    Carson felt that both of them seemed to have feelings for each other. No wonder he didn''t mind


    paying 300,000 dors just for a tie. What was going on?


    Although he hadn''t finished his words, Frederick knew what he was trying to ask and turned his


    head to look at him. His gaze was extremely fierce as if he was about to cut him into tiny little


    pieces.


    When Carson came to his senses, he pped his mouth and forced a smile.


    Frederick returned his gaze back to the stage, but his eyes fell on the side as he thought, "I really


    like her, don''t I?"


    Slowly, the music started ying. Carson turned his head again and saw Jeremy cing his hand


    on her waist and led her onto the dance floor.


    On the wide dance floor, the two of them danced slowly yet gracefully. The auction on the stage


    continued, but Carson''s eyes were looking at the direction of where Frederick was ring at.


    What on earth was going on with those two people?


    Frederick nced at the man with a cold and serious look on his face. Carson felt that someone


    was going to get into trouble soon. Was Frederick interested in a beauty that was already taken and


    that he wanted to snatch her away?


    No way! Frederick had always hated women the most, hadn''t he?


    Carson returned his gaze to Alicia, who was extremely charming and sexy. Her movements flowed


    with a dazzling grace, taking away Carson''s breath.


    Was it true that every hero loved beauty? Why did he feel that this woman could cause trouble? Her


    ability to attract men was incredible, making them look like bees that were attracted to a flower! A


    man was dancing with her while the other one was still coveting her!


    Carson felt anxious for Frederick and he couldn''t help shaking his head!


    Alicia was not an easy target, it must be tough to get her heart! No wonder Frederick was in such a


    hurry to tie the knot with her!


    Alicia and Jeremy embraced the music and danced on the dance floor, but none of them said


    anything. Both of them had heavy hearts at the same time.


    She had dreamed about such a scene in the past. At present, she really had the chance to be close


    to him as she used to be. However, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be a barrier between


    them.


    They could never turn back time.


    She really wanted to ask him "why", but until the end of the dance, Alicia did not say anything.


    No matter what he did to hurt her, he was her first love after all. She had put six years'' worth of


    effort into him and the rtionship. She always felt that maybe she could still keep some beautiful


    memories with him for herself.


    She was afraid that she would be disappointed and break the harmony they had at the moment.


    She would end up wanting to seek justice and revenge.


    Simrly, at this moment, Jeremy was debating in his heart. The sweet memories that they used to


    have and the desire in his heart, were like a volcano that was ready to erupt anytime.


    As the music gradually came to an end, he grabbed her hand tightly the moment Alicia pulled her


    hand away from him. "Ally..."


    Their gazes met. The next second, he had pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly before


    she realized it!


    "Wow..."


    Below the stage, there was a sudden cry of surprise. Frederick''s face fell even more. Carson


    immediately grabbed his arm as Frederick was about to rush towards them.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
