Robinson sat on the sofa, arms crossed, his right leg kept shaking, and the shaking got faster and faster.
He had known Daisy Zane for many years and naturally knew how many people were pursuing her. If one day Daisy had a wedding, the suitors could fill several tables.
But he was very sure that Daisyâs feelings were blank, whiter than white paper.
Although Daisy Zane was very impressive, beyond normal in his eyes, no matter how impressive she was, she was still a woman. And womenâs intelligence would drop by more than half once they fell in love.
This Kevin Clark was wicked in everything, obviously not a good thing in appearance. His reputation was also extremely poor. What if he played with Daisy?
Thinking of this, Robinson cursed and changed legs to shake.
After a while, the sound of cleaning dishes and chopsticks came from the restaurant. Robinson crossed his legs, straightened his body.
Only then did he see a wooden box on the tea table. It was sandalwood, with exquisite patterns carved around it, and the craftsmanship was very fine.
It was valuable.
Robinson thought it belonged to Daisy Zane, so he just opened it.
Inside was a red jade hairpin. It was red all over, without any impurities. The hexagonal head was also carved with a phoenix, and the craftsmanship was very meticulous.
It could be seen that it had been around for a long time, but it had been well preserved.
Robinson could not take his eyes off these historical, meticulously crafted, and pure materials.
He watched the box for a while, until Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane came out of the restaurant together, only then did he move his eyes away from the hairpin and look at Daisy Zane.
His expression was full of incomprehension.
âLucia, at the auction, didnât you say that this thing wasnât worth 100 million, and you didnât want it?â Robinson held the wooden box and said, âHow come you bought it back in the blink of an eye? You, you⦠Itâs much more enjoyable to pressure that bastard at the auction, why buy it privately?â
âWhat thing?â Daisy Zane asked as she sat down on the sofa and glanced at the box in his hand.
âThis hairpin.â Robinson said, âAt the Imperial Capital Apocalypse Hotel auction, there was a son-of-a-gun who was bidding with us all the time, and later you said you didnât want it. How much did you spend to buy it? How do you know the buyer? I tried to find him for a long time.â
Daisy Zane glanced at the box again, and then looked at Kevin Clark.
Kevin Clark was also looking at her, his eyes filled with pampering, soaked with laughter, and a touch of investigative color.
After a brief exchange of glances, Daisy Zane moved her gaze away and said,
âItâs not mine, he brought it.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWho?â Robinson looked at Daisy Zane, and saw Daisy Zane lift her chin towards Kevin Clark. He turned his head to look at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely twice.
âFairy Clan, bastard.â Kevin Clarkâs gaze passed over Robinsonâs gauze-wrapped arm and said softly, âMiss Suâs impression of me is really unique.â
The light and fluttery tone was indeed oppressive.
But, in all these years, Robinson had been known as âRoy Ryderâ and âEmma Clarkâ, and he always walked sideways. He used to scare others, but being scared⦠was out of the question!
He looked up to face his gaze, full of rivalry and even more hostility.
Kevin Clark, of course, would not quarrel with her, especially since this was Daisy Zaneâs friend.
He looked away and then looked at Daisy Zane.
Daisy Zane had been watching the excitement and suddenly looked up at him, startled for a moment.
What was this pathetic and somewhat innocent look all about?
However, just at this time, Robinson also looked over, looking⦠even more pitiful: âLuciaâ¦â
Daisy Zane: . Are you two competing here?
âWell⦠Iâm⦠going to go have a sip of water.â
After speaking, Daisy Zane went to the bedroom, leaving Kevin Clark and Robinson in the living room.
Kevin Clarkâs expression returned to indifference, and a fierce look appeared in Robinsonâs eyes.
âI heard that Mr. Su has been looking for Miss Su, but I didnât expect Miss Su to be there.â Kevin Clark looked at Robinson, his narrow eyes filled with evil air.
âYouâre investigating me?â Robinson furrowed his eyebrows, murderous intent in his eyes.
âI had the honor of seeing Miss Suâs photo at Mr. Suâs place.â
âSu, Mr. Suâ¦â Her dad!
Robinsonâs eyes widened suddenly, and he couldnât help but move a bit, farther away from Kevin Clark.
Having seen her photo, it goes without saying that her dad must have taken her photo and showed it to everyone, fearing that no one would want her.
Even introduced it to Kevin Clark.
Could it be more embarrassing?
Robinson slowly raised his hand to cover half of his face.
âI have some friendship with Mr. Scott, and since I know Miss Scott is hereâ¦â
âThird Master!â Robinson Scott stood up suddenly, putting on a smile, âI have some matters to attend to, so I wonât disturb you guys.â
If her dad came looking for her, he might beat her up first. No, no, no, saving her life was more important.
Kevin Clark nodded: âThenâ¦lâll keep it a secret.â
Robinson Scott clenched her fists, forced a smile, and gritted her teeth: âThank you, Third Master.â
By the time Daisy Zane came out of the bedchamber, Robinson had returned to the guest room. She put the thermos cup on the tea table and looked at Kevin Clark, narrowing her eyes: âDid you bully her?â
âHow could I?â Kevin Clark was sincere.
Daisy Zane took back her gaze, sat down, and glanced at the wooden box on the tea table.
âI got it for you.â
âOne billion.â Daisy Zane said.
Kevin Clark smiled: âItâs not worth that much.â
Indeed, it wasnât that valuable. At the auction, when the bidding for this item reached 10 million, Daisy Zane didnât want it anymore. But she still raised the price.
Obviously, the intention was to let him bleed even if she couldnât get it.
âWell, no fight, no friendship, I guess.â
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows.
Not only the hairpin, but also a Peking opera headdress.
Daisy Zane failed to get the hairpin, so when Kevin Clark tried to bid for a Peking opera headdress afterward, she also bid against him and raised the price of the headdress as well.
âGive me the cup; Iâll boil some water.â
Daisy Zane handed him the cup and watched him go to the kitchen, then looked at the hairpin on the tea table.
After contemplating for a while.
Next time they went to Celestial Pivot for information, they should let Holt Lawrence have a look at the stars and do it for free.
Maple Elite Entertainment
John Anderson and Olivia Chester had been busy all morning trying to remove the hot searches but couldnât. The companyâs uniform clarification statements were not believed by anyone.
Not just the company and Olivia Chester; all of Olivia Chesterâs artists were also attacked.
Plus those who were kicking them when they were down.
Maple Elite Entertainment had suffered the worst blow since its establishment. John Anderson had tried to find everyone he could, but they couldnât even find out who they had offended.
âJohn, howâs it going?â Amelia Miles hurried over as soon as she heard the news in the morning.
John Anderson sighed and patted her head: âIâve done my best. All we can do now is minimize the companyâs losses and wait for the storm to pass.â
This matter was true, and they had done what they could in terms of public relations and preparations. They could only wait for the storm to pass.
âDonât worry, Iâll be with you. Letâs take a break.â Amelia Milesâ eyes curved into a smile as she held onto his arm and leaned on his shoulder. After a while, she sighed, âI donât know whatâs going on recently. First, the Miles Group had a problem, and now itâs Maple Elite. Itâs like something has affected our familyâs fortune.
âItâs inevitable in doing business,â John said, pretending not to hear the hint in her words. âHowâs the Miles Group doing now?â
âIt has stabilized, but the losses are a bit heavy. The company has developed well in recent years, with a solid foundation, so thereâs no big problem. If it were a few years ago, it might have gone bankrupt.â Amelia Miles explained, âThanks to your help, John. My dad said to invite you for dinner when you have time.â
âNo need to thank me, itâs what I should do.â
âI wonder how my sister is doing lately? Iâve been too busy with the family affairs,â Amelia mentioned.
John Andersonâs expression froze for a moment.
He knew about Olivia Chesterâs changing roles, but since Olivia Chester held shares in the company and had status in the industry, he didnât want to make things too ugly with her, so he didnât stop her.
However, not even a day had passed before the Imperial City Bennett Family had been investigated.
Was it a coincidence, or was it related to Daisy Zane? Did Daisy Zane really have such power?
His father had insisted on signing Daisy Zane, but his father didnât want to talk about it afterward.
His father only told him to not let her be bullied and not to treat her differently. He wanted her to walk a clean path in this industry.
It must be a coincidence. Otherwise, why would his father give him such a warning?
If she were really that powerful, why would she join the entertainment industry? And why would she choose Maple Elite Entertainment instead of going to Imperial Capital?
