Chapter 80 Old things

Threatened by Alex, Elly accepted the valuable earrings calmly. She whispered, "You are so bossy! I just put up with it for the sake of money."

The auction went on and Alex stopped raising his cards. Quite a few items are of great value, but they don't suit his preferences.

As the auction drew to an end, the organizers took out a very delicate platinum necklace, It does not have a gem or diamond in the middle but it's a delicate, beatiful and simple necklace.

Elly couldn't ask herself to look away from the necklace, she said in surprise. "The strange thing is, I think I already saw this necklace before. Did I already see this?"

Her reaction reinforced Alex' speculation. His face changed and his eyes stared at Mr. Rusell seriously. Mr. Rusell was also looking his way and his face was filled with pride and joy.

He really took out the souvenir in the charity auction.

Alex grew paler and paler, his hands were gripping the chair. Elly, who was sitting next to him, also realized that he was in a bad mood and asked in a low voice. "What happened to you? Are you not feeling well?"

Alex waved that there was no problem and then he asked her, "You bid for that item in the hands of the organizer for me at the highest price."

Although Elly did not understand Alex' behavior, she nodded and responded. As she looked at the necklace, Elly's eyes were full of doubt. What is the special significance of this necklace to Alex?

"Now, we will auction the item donated by Mr. Rusell. This necklace is the precious necklace of Mr. Rusell's daughter. Given by them to support the charity today."

The host's introduction made Alex' face colder.

Mr. Russel made up this terrible story. The necklace did not belong to the Rusell family.

Elly followed Alex' order, she has been holding an up-price card since the organizer announced the auction, she has quoted a higher price for every bid.

The old businessmen with proficient eyes realized that Alex had aimed at the necklace. They looked at each other and went to bid one after another, with no intention of losing to him.

"100,000 dollars for one time and 100,000 dollars for the second time." Just as the host was about to knock the hammer and sell the necklace to Alex, Mr. Rusell suddenly held up the sea mark."330,000 dollars!"

Today, Elly has a new understanding. Through the grand charity, these rich people are really very generous and spend money on gifts for charitable purposes because no matter how she looked, she knew that the necklace was not worth that much money.

The most puzzling thing is that Mr. Rusell gave the necklace to the auction, but why did he bid for it at a high price?

Elly want to ask Alex if he still wanted to bid for the necklace, "Seven hundred thousand dollars."

"1 million." Mr. Rusell smiled gently and looked directly at Alex. "As a father, I would like to give this necklace to my dear daughter myself." he said. "She will be very happy to see it."

Mr. Rusell's words are false, and greed can be seen in his eyes. He wanted to retort so that they would have to pay a higher price to get the necklace.

No one knows what this necklace means to Alex better than Mr. Rusell.

Alex ignored the provocative remarks and directly offered a sky-high price. "2 million dollars."

Everyone listened to the price and there was an uproar around. No one would have expected that Alex really bought a necklace worth 2 million dollars. Jewelry is generally used for charity auctions, but no one is willing to pay too much money for donations.

Elly held the handle of the placard in panic and asked in a low voice. "Are you crazy? 2 million dollars?"

"Don't bother." He stared at her eyes, continued to hold the placard, he glanced at Mr. Rusell and waited.

Mr. Rusell lowered the placard and accepted the ridiculed eyes of the people around him.

Alex won the necklace. His fingers skimmed gently over the circle, and Elly caught the soft light in his eyes that she had never been seen before.

"Don't ask," Alex closed the box and handed it to her. "Here, if you lose it, I'll sell you."

"I can't even get 2 million."Elly raised the necklace box carefully.

At the end of the charity auction, Elly went outside with Alex. With valuables on her side, she walked quite slowly and did not look forward, that's whe she hit her head om Alex' back when he suddenly stopped.

"Why did you suddenly stop? What happened?"

Alex did not answer. She looked sideways and held the box hastily, as if she were afraid of being robbed.

Opposite is Mr. Rusell with a smug on the face. "You are so generous! That is just a small necklace you are willing to buy for 2 million dollars. I'm so impressed!"

When Alex heard the mockery in his words, it was very obvious that Mr. Rusell was laughing at Alex, who gloated over Emily's necklace.

Alex is not as happy as he thought he was. He spoke earnestly. "Mr. Rusell effortlessly claimsed the properties of the lost people to himself. Don't think I don't know why you have the necklace. I still have the original document of origin of that necklace. I can charge you with stealing at any time."

As he looked at Mr. Rusell's scared face, his voice was like a ruthless demon, he was unable to stop. "I just want to retrieve what belongs to me on behalf of Emily. What I care about is the meaning of the necklace, which is more important than your blind selfishness. 2 million is just a number to me."

Mr. Rusell was very angry and he said nothing. He pointed at Alex with a shudder but he did not make a sound.

Alex smiled faintly. "Mr. Rusell, did you hear what I said? You have to pay a price for doing bad things. You should pay attention to your health. Be careful."

He watched Mr. Rusell's face full of anger. Elly could not help lamenting that Alex' venomous tongue skills were so excellent.

On the way home, Elly couldn't help but be curious and finally couldn't help asking. "Why are you so interested in this necklace?"

"Do you want to know?" Alex looked strange.

Elly was stunned for a moment and scratched her head with a shy expression on his face. "I'm just curious. If it's not convenient for you to talk about it, forget it."

"Do you remember when Mr. Rusell said that this necklace belonged to his daughter, Emily?"

Alex' eagle eyes glowed softly as he spoke. "This necklace is very important to me. The most important thing is that ring in the middle."

Elly remembered that the shape of the ring is very ordinary, although exquisite, but not too special.

"Have you ever heard of a ring that only adjusts once in a lifetime?" Alex' sudden question surprised Elly and she nodded. "I know. This is a famous brand, which stipulates that each man can only choose the ring once and customize the size once with his personal ID card. Which brand does this ring belong to?"

A ring can only be customized once in a lifetime. No wonder you bought it so high.

Alex smiled as if in a monologue. "I once wore this ring angrily. I regret it very much. Now I want to put the ring back on my hands again.I can give myself a chance. " Alex said.

Elly felt sad when he muttered to himself, it turned out that he still has feeling for his ex wife, Emily.

Her smile became numb and her voice was reluctant. "If you regret it, why give up?"

Elly's words inadvertently touched the wound in heart, with a tired voice he said. "You know, everyone makes mistakes. My mistake is that I did not knew the importance of that person to me until she was gone."

His sadness spread to her. Elly suppressed the trembling heart in her chest, took a deep breath and made suggestions. "You can ask for Miss Emily back. I'll explain that we're all innocent."

"Emily?" Alex was surprised to hear the name and saw the foolish and sincere look in Elly's eyes and knew she had misunderstood.

"Do you think the person I regret giving up is Emily?:

Elly confirmed his thougts in a twinkleof an eye.

"The woman I mentioned is not Emily." Alex' soft smile is indescribable, but the evil words are just the opposite. "More importantly, you can't leave me without my permission."

Elly didn't care about his threat. she thought about what he had just said. If It wasn't Emily, then, who was it?

Under the gaze of Alex, she hesitated to ask a question. "Is the person you are talking about is your ex-wife?"
