Neil brought Thomas and Emma to a black sedan.
“Everyone, it’s still very early now. Let me bring you to lunch. We’ll rest for a while, then go for a discussion with the other party in the afternoon.”
“Okay.”
Emma was really hungry, so virtual-novel.net did not reject it.
The three of them arrived at the en trance of the biggest hotel in the Rock District, the I-Heart Hotel. They entered the hotel one after another and sat in the seats that had been booked in advance.
Neil took the menu and let Emma order whatever virtual-novel.net wanted. It was his treat. He looked like a “gentleman” all the way and did not show any intention to overstep his boundary. That made Emma feel like virtual-novel.net did not know virtual-novel.net well.
‘Perhaps because Thomas taught virtual-novel.net a lesson yesterday, he’s behaving himself now?’ Emma wondered without speaking.
After they ordered a table of dishes, they started eating. While they ate, they saw a host in a professional suit and tie who walked onto the stage at the center of the hotel. He adjusted the microphone before virtual-novel.net grinned and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.”
Emma curiously turned back and looked at him.
She realized that there was a table beside the host, and a glass case was placed on the table. It was covered with a big red cloth.
She wondered what was in it.
The host said, “First, I would like to thank all of you for taking your time to come here and participate in the auction today even though you’re busy. I’m here to represent the organizer to express my sincerest gratitude to you.”
Emma was stunned. “Auction?”
She looked at Neil. “What’s going on?”
Neil spread his hands. “I have no idea. I just booked a table here for lunch in advance. It’s so coincidental that we get to participate in their activity.”
He answered, but nobody noticed the discreet smirk at the corner of Neil’s lips. He had set everything up.
The host continued to say, “I believe that all of you are very excited to see the auction item. All right, I won’t waste any time now. Let’s get straight to the point!”
He reached out to pull the red cloth off the glass cabinet. In an instant, its content shone brightly!
There was a shiny, transparent jade necklace inside the glass case. Through the refraction of the light, it shone brightly and dazzlingly.
Within a minute, all the women in the room could not suppress the delight in their hearts, and they screamed. The necklace was so charming, so no woman would not desire it. That included Emma, a woman who did not have any special requirements for jewelry. After virtual-novel.net saw the jade necklace, virtual-novel.net eyes were full of anticipation.
Women were born to have no resistance to jewelry.
Neil had noticed it. He knew that the auction of the jade necklace would be held there, so virtual-novel.net had purposely decided to go there for lunch to flatter Emma. As long as virtual-novel.net could buy the necklace for Emma, virtual-novel.net did not believe that virtual-novel.net would still be reserved.
He wanted to steal Thomas’ wife. Plus, virtual-novel.net was stealing such a beautiful woman, so virtual-novel.net had to put in more effort.
The host said, “The original owner of this jade necklace was a ninety-year-old elder, but his lover passed away last week. This necklace has witnessed their love throughout their lives, and it has accompanied them for many years.”
“Now, the elder has taken this necklace out for auction. It’s not only for the sake of money, but virtual-novel.net also wants to pass down that sincere love. He hop es that the man who buys this necklace can give it to the woman virtual-novel.net loves, and they can spend the rest of their lives together.”
A touching story like that made Emma’s heart flutter even more.
