Chapter 179 - 179: Forced To Find Someone (1/2)

”Are you sleepy?” Ethan asked her when noticing her eyes getting droopy.

”Not really. Just bored.” She mumbled. The meeting ended early so the auction was still showcasing other valuable things.

It would take a while before the final item, Black Egg, will make its appearance.

”Nothing has caught your interest with the items?”

”Hmm...I find that raw imperial jade quite nice.”

”You want it?”

”No...I have lots already.” She nonchalantly said. Her father, Alexander Bai, would bring all kinds of rare stones for them as souvenirs when traveling to different countries. He would hand them raw to his wife for her to decide on the designs.

Mother Bai doesn't mind a few sets of jewelries with extremely pricy rare stones on them. And as her only daughter, Lillie was indulged with different sets of jewelries handcrafted by the Queen of Fashion, Agathe Crevier.

Her son, Gabriel, couldn't care less. What would he do with a pricy rare stone but sell it? With that, he could buy himself a game console, new headphones, some sneakers and some games from Escaping Reality.

Of course, Ethan didn't know that most of her jewelries came from her parents.

But Ethan knew that Lillie wasn't the kind of woman who would indulge herself with expensive jewelries.

So, where did these ”I have lots” came from?

'Did other men try to give her jewelries too? My wife is too beautiful that I'm sure she had countless suitors.' He bitterly thought.

To have the guts to court the She-Devil, they must've come from a prominent background.

With that, Ethan was already swimming in vinegar.

I need to ask her later then. For now, I must focus with this mission.

Ethan shook his head to remove those blood-boiling thoughts.

He was about to immerse his attention back to the auction when Lillie's voice rang through his ears.

”Hey..”

”Hm?”

”What did the three of you discussed at the restaurant?” She asked, staring directly into his eyes.

”What do you mean?” Ethan feigned innocence.

”My eyes may seem to be on his, but my attention was on you.” Was her blunt and honest response.

Ethan did not know why but this statement caused his ears to redden. ”Is that so...”

”I saw Mo Kun's code. Did the three of you realized something about his hands?”
