Chapter 158


    After being ridiculed time and again, Finneas was utterly frustrated, and he looked around the ce.


    Subsequently, he picked up a flower pot on the side and lunged at Pierre, aiming it at his head.


    As though he had expected it, Pierre dodged, causing Finneas to topple onto the floor with the flower


    pot still in his hands and end up covering his face in the soil.


    Selena, who was unguarded when Pierre pushed her aside, mmed into the wall and hit her head


    painfully. When Pierre heard her sucking in a deep breath of air in pain, he red at Finneas on the


    ground.


    “I hate it the most when someone pulls a sneak attack from behind.” With his face covered in dirt,


    Finneas scrambled to his feet and shouted, “Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!”


    “Fine.” With that, Pierre beat him to the ground again neatly and quickly. This time, however, he didn’t


    show any mercy andnded each punch on Finneas urately, with a few punchesnding on his


    face.


    All beaten up and bruised, Finneasy on the ground motionlessly. Sensing something amiss, Selena


    hurriedly pulled Pierre back. “That’s enough. Stop hitting him.”


    Seeing that she was pleading on his behalf, Pierre became even more infuriated and gave Finneas a


    hard kick before storming out of the ce. After calling an ambnce for Finneas, Selena went after


    Pierre immediately. Whatever it was, she had already done her best for the beaten up man.


    Meanwhile, Pierre didn’t start the engine right after getting into the car. When he saw Selena chasing


    after him outside the restaurant, he thought he would settle scores with her once she got into the car.


    He was merely gone for a few minutes and it was enough for her to hook up with Finneas again! Not


    only that, she even pleaded for him! How could this woman side with him? It’s about time I lecture her!


    After ncing at the time, Selena saw that Juniper’s lesson would be over soon, so she had to go and


    pick her up. Hence, she shouted at Pierre, “I’m going to pick up Juniper. You go ahead first!” Then, she


    left the spot hurriedly.


    Pierre was so mad that he mmed the steering wheel. How could this woman act as though nothing


    has happened?!


    Later at night, after tucking Juniper in bed, Selena turned on her cell phone and saw no news from


    Pierre, which made her wonder if he had misunderstood her with Finneas. No matter what, she felt that


    he was probably angry earlier, but she wasn’t exactly sure of the reason.


    When she finishedposing her text message, she stopped and didn’t send it out immediately.


    “He wouldn’t be that petty, would he?” she wondered out loud. “It’s impossible that he would think


    anything of Finneas since he had always thought of himself as invincible all this while.”


    Hence, she deleted the text and went through the information about the auction the next day which


    Linda had sent to her before falling asleep on her bed.


    The next day, she attended the auction with Linda. ording to her, there were quite a few precious


    items to be auctioned off on this day, which was why there were many people, creating an


    exceptionally lively atmosphere at the auction.


    Usually, during the Royal Auction, the bidders would be ced in different rooms, and their names


    would be reced with codenames to avoid some disputes which might arise.


    Selena and Linda were ced in room number 18, which had a big screen in the middle of the room


    disying the main tform of the auction.


    Soon, the auction started and the items in the beginning didn’t catch Selena’s interest at all, until the


    jade bracelet appeared.


    “This is thest item for our auction today. It’s a jade bracelet with hundreds of years of history behind


    it. It initially came in a pair, but we only have one for the auction today,” the host exined. Then, he


    went on to borate on the history of the bracelet in detail, and this was also the first time that Selena


    was learning about the origin of her mother’s bracelet.

    Apparently, the jade bracelet started off as a royal jewelry and was a favorite item of the queen. Later, it


    was bestowed to a great minister, who then gave it to his son, who in turn passed it on to his wife, and


    it became a family heirloom which was passed down for generations.
