Female Novel
Chapter 160
Her words were like a wakeup call for Selena, and she immediately regained her composure. “Ihave to find out who the other person is.”
Thereafter, she stood up and went out. Chasing after her, Linda said, “President Yard, this is againstthe regulations. If the organizers of the Royal Auction finds out about this, we’ll be blacklisted.”
“I can’t be bothered about that. I have to find out who bought my mother’s jade bracelet so that I cannegotiate with that person after this. Or else, I’ll lose track of the bracelet again.”
Leading Linda to the washroom next to room number one, she first pretended to use the washroombefore secretly spying on the movements in the next room.
While they waited anxiously for the person in room number one to leave the room, someonesuddenly came out from the male washroom next to them.
“Ms. Yard? What a coincidence.”
Spinning her head around, Selena saw that it was Niall who had greeted her.
“What are you doing here, Niall?” she asked, startled.novelbin
With a pained look on his face, he replied, “Don’t bring it up, Ms. Yard. I’m here on an errand forPresident Fowler.”
Eyeing him suspiciously, she knew that he had to be here to buy something as an errand since thiswas an auction. “What kind of errand?”
As he already knew that she was in a relationship with Pierre, Niall didn’t think it would be aproblem if he told her the truth. Moreover, this wasn’t considered a secret, either.
“I’m here to bid for a bracelet on his behalf. This is a very pricey bracelet, and I had to bid for it withone hundred and ten million. My goodness, I didn’t expect so many to fight for it with me, and Ialmost couldn’t complete my task.” Sighing, he continued, “Do you know who are the people inroom number eighteen and number three? The one in number eighteen is especially aggressive!”
Linda took a step forward, but was immediately pulled back by Selena. After glancing at Selena,she bit her lips and held back her words.
“I don’t know anything about that since the Royal Auction kept it a secret.”
Nodding in agreement, Niall said, “That’s true. By the way, what brought you here, Ms. Yard?”
“Me? I, um... I’m just here to watch the show,” she answered with a tight smile. “President Fowler…What does Pierre want with a bracelet?”
“That’s all because of Me—” Niall stopped himself mid-sentence and smiled sheepishly. I shouldn’tbe telling this to Selena, he thought. No woman will be able to accept it if I told her that PresidentFowler is bidding this for Meredith.
However, Selena already understood who he meant at the sound of the first syllable. It’s forMeredith.
She must have asked for his help to bid this bracelet for her, which was why Pierre was willing topay such a high price for it.
“I’m not too sure, either. Ms. Yard, I have to rush back with the bracelet now, so I’m taking my leavefirst,” Niall said and left hastily.
Coming next to Selena, Linda asked, “Why didn’t you let me say anything, President Yard? MaybePierre will let you have the bracelet if they knew that we’re here for it today! This is an unnecessary
misunderstanding between the both of you! If we had known this, we wouldn’t have raised the bidso high!”
Shaking her head, Selena asked, “Didn’t you hear what Niall said? Pierre is bidding this bracelet forMeredith.”
“What?”
“Meredith must also know that I’m asking for this bracelet in return for helping the family through thecrisis, so she went to beg Pierre to help her win the bid for her,” she elaborated in a gloomy voice,feeling like she had never felt so depressed in her life before. In fact, she was feeling moredepressed than not winning the bid over the bracelet.
“Is Meredith sick? Why didn’t she ask Pierre for a direct fund transfer into the Yard Family? Wouldn’tthat have solved the problem directly?” Linda asked, unable to figure out the logic.
