Chapter 516 Auction


    "In the hotel suite, Oscar was leisurely sitting on the couch, waiting for Liya''s arrival."


    "Actually, he preferred women who were more feminine and gentle like Liyapared to Zoe.


    Although Zoe was beautiful as well, she was too strong-willed, which turned him off. Women who


    were soft and feminine like Liya were endearing."


    Liya unwillingly pressed the doorbell.


    "Beauty, you''re here. Oscar smiled and bared his yellow teeth, with his eyes full of lustful desire. With


    one hand, he picked Liya up, as if he was picking up a chick and walked towards the room."


    "Mr. Jones, I beg you. Please let me go. Liya''s entire body was trembling, and her face was pale as she


    begged in terror."


    "If I let you go, then who will y with me? Oscar would definitely not let her go. His face sank, and his


    gaze turned fierce and violent. Oscar would do nothing all day long. He would save his energy during


    the day, which caused his demands for women at night to be abnormally perverted."


    "At that time, he was like a hungry wolf facing amb that was going to be ughtered. How could he


    give up on such delicious meat? He smiled sinisterly, took off his clothes in a hurry, and rushed towards


    her."


    "No, Mr. Jones, don''t... Liya screamed in panic, but she couldn''t stop Oscar''s brute force. Soon after,


    her hands were tied by Oscar."


    "Zoe, Oscar, I won''t let you guys go. You devils. Liya gritted her teeth. While she endured Oscar''s


    torment, her hatred for them grew more intensely like seeds that just sprouted."


    "When she woke up again, it was almost dawn. Oscar, who had tortured her with all his might, was


    sleeping like a dead pig at that time. Her hands were still tied up, and she was in a very miserable state


    right then."


    She clenched her teeth and struggled to get up. She then moved to the bathroom and scrape the rope


    until it broke.


    "If she was not mistaken, when she was just ravaged by Oscar just then, she saw a bunch of keys on


    top of Oscar''s trousers on the bedside table. That key was the key to the confidential information


    shared between the Jones Group and Sky Sword Group. Back on that day, the moment she turned her


    head around, she saw Zoe locking up the incriminating evidence that had been used against Belle


    with that exact same key."


    "Obviously, only Oscar and Zoe could possess such a key. It was impossible for the others to have


    it."


    "She quietly walked over and took the key. Enduring the pain all over her body, she secretly walked out


    of the hotel."


    "There were still stars in the sky, and Liya was weed by the cool morning breeze."


    "After breathing such fresh air, Liya''s mind became much clearer."


    "She could only get herself out of that situation by speeding up her actions. No matter what, she has to


    be the mistress of Harvey Manor as soon as possible, and climb to the peak of the socialdder.


    She couldn''t bear living such a horrible life any longer. If that kind of life continued on, her demise


    wouldn''t be far away."


    "Zoe and Oscar. When she thought of those two, her eyes were filled with anger."


    "Tristany in the morning, a cool breeze blew in through the window."


    Belle opened her eyes.


    Dawn had arrived.


    She got up with a start.


    "That day, she had to go to the museum to bid for the jade fan for her mother. Her mother had never


    asked her for anything, but she specifically told her toe back in order to ask her for it. Therefore,


    she really shouldn''t be careless with it."


    A hand reached out from behind her and wrapped around her.


    "The temperature of his palm was warm. So, it was veryfortable upon feeling the palm''s warmth


    with her skin."


    "Belle, you''re up so Tristany. Calvin''s voice was gentle and maic, which was particrly pleasant


    to listen to."


    Belle lowered her head.


    "After getting enough sleep, Calvin''s eyes were deep and spirited. He was looking at her with a smile. It


    seemed that he was really satisfied the night before."


    "Why haven''t you left yet? Belle knew what Calvin was thinking, to have brought her to Grand Hyatt


    Apartments. However, he would usually go to work Tristany in the morning, but he was still on the bed


    with her right then, which puzzled her. So, she asked at once."


    The corners of Calvin''s lips curled up as he sat up. He hugged her and lowered his head to kiss her


    neck.


    "Belle, didn''t Mom ask us to go to the museum to bid for the jade fan for her? he murmured in her ear."


    "Yes, but Mom only asked me to go, not you, Belle said lightly as she pushed his face away."


    Your business is my business. I''ll go with you. Calvin was a little resentful when he saw how clearly


    Belle was drawing the boundaries and corrected her immediately.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Go and handle your own work. It''s not a big deal. I can go alone. Belle began to get up and get


    dressed.


    "As her soft and delicate body left Calvin, he felt a little empty. By the way, weren''t they husband and


    wife? They shared the same bed every day, but he felt that they were spending less time together. It


    was as if they were Romeo and Juliet, where they couldn''t even stay together without going through


    many difficulties."


    That made him feel uneasy.


    "No, I''m not at ease. I want to go with you. Calvin also got up and began to wash himself. When he saw


    Belle''s busy figure, heforted her. ""This ce is close to the museum. Don''t be in such a hurry. We


    have plenty of time."""


    "Belle picked up the toothpaste and squeezed it on her toothbrush, casually asking, ""So, the reason


    you took me here yesterday was because you wanted to go to the museum with me today."""


    "Sort of. Calvin smiled and added with a serious expression on his face, ""This is our home."""


    Their home?


    "After she heard that, Belle''s hand trembled."


    "The night before, Liya had already moved into Harvey Manor. Did he bring her there because he was


    afraid that she would be sad?"


    "There were just the two of them there, which was how the life of a married couple should be, and it


    was also the home that belonged to only the two of them."


    "When she thought about it that way, her heart became slightly heavy."


    "The museum was located in the center of A City, close to the library."


    "As soon as they arrived at the location, there were all kinds of exquisite banners and images that were


    promoting the items to be auctioned that day."


    Belle took a pamphlet from one of the promoters and began to read through it carefully.


    "Among a lot of exquisite images, she finally found the inexpensive jade fan. It was indeed not very


    striking, and there was barely any introduction for it."


    "Kate should have seen that jade fan from advertisements on TV. Belle didn''t understand why she


    really wanted that jade fan. Although there was already another one of it at home, Belle couldn''t see


    any potential of an increase in value, even if she were toplete the pair, but since her mother


    wanted it, it wasn''t difficult for her to obtain it. She estimated that there would not be many people


    "She was very confident that she could bid that jade fan in no time, take it back to the Francist


    Community, and hand it over to Kate."


    The auction was about to begin.


    Calvin held Belle''s hand and the two appeared at the venue in a loving manner.


    The cameras of many media outlets were focused on them.


    "Calvin led Belle around to observe the various treasures that were being prepared to be auctioned in


    the hall. Then, they stopped in front of the jade fan."


    "The jade fan was openly exhibited. They lowered their heads at the same time and saw that the jade


    fan was exactly the same as Kate''s, but the realistic white plum on the jade fan was white and clean,


    unlike the red plum on Kate''s. The white plum was as soft as the cloud and seemed to be able to


    Belle put her hand on the ss that was covering the jade fan and smiled faintly.


    "A strong gaze suddenly shot towards the jade fan, or rather, towards them. She suddenly felt a sense


    of unease and lifted her head to look at the source of the gaze."


    "On the second floor, in front of arge and luxurious private room, two men in ck suits were looking


    at the jade fan in front of her."


    "Belle saw them clearly. The two men were tall, expressionless, and their gaze was alert. The light in


    their eyes was also cold and emotionless."


    "Such people would usually be around an important individual, and one of the men was a foreigner as


    well."


    "For some reason, Belle''s heart skipped a beat."


    Could it be that some big shot was going to show up that day?


    "Things being auctioned there were not things ordinary people could afford. Therefore, people who


    went there were either rich or of high status, and it was also reasonable for big shots to show up.


    Thinking of that, Belle wasn''t that nervous anymore."


    The phone rang at an inappropriate time.


    Both of them looked for their phones at the same time.


    "In the end, it was Calvin''s phone that was ringing."


    Calvin fished out his phone from his pocket and raised his eyes to take a look. His eyebrows instantly


    furrowed.


    "At that time, Belle also curiously looked over at his cell phone."


    The name ''Liya'' was shing nonstop.


    Belle''s heart sank and she inexplicably felt sad.


    "Calvin looked displeased, but after thinking for a moment, he still picked up the phone."


    "Liya, what''s the matter? he asked briefly with a cold voice."


    "Calvin, I need to see you right now. Liya sounded as if she was in a hurry with traces of fear."


    What''s going on? Calvin''s eyebrows moved as he asked immediately.


    "Calvin, someone''s following me. I''m scared. Pleasee quickly. Liya cried out in a somewhat


    panicked manner."


    "Calvin thought for a while. He then asked, ""Where are you?"""


    He looked at Belle when he asked that. Belle''s face was somewhat pale.


    He reached out his hand to caress her head.


    "Alright, try to run to the White Cloud Hotel nearby. Someone will be there to protect you. I''ll be there


    right away. Calvin turned his head to the side. With that, he immediately ended the call."


    "Belle, I have something important to deal with. You need to get this jade fan no matter how much you


    need to spend on it. We can''t let Mom down. I''ll leave first. Call me if you need anything. Calvin stroked


    her head again and smiled at her."


    "Then, he let go of her and ran outside."


    Belle''s body was vaguely stiff. Her hands and feet were very cold.


    He left as soon as he got Liya''s phone call. He didn''t even ask for her opinion and simply left her alone.


    He said that he was going to apany her to buy the jade fan. He was just paying lip service to her!


    Her eyes turned a little moist.


    "That man said that he loved her, but his actions and behavior only made Belle feel more confused."
