Chapter 8 Chapter 8

Lucia looked back at Alonso.

Their eyes met.

Perhaps it was just a second.

The two of them moved at the same time.

Alonso turned to the host. "Hurry up and make a deal!"

The host was also watching the show. At this moment, he quickly came to his senses. "Thirty million once!"

"Thirty million twice!"

"Thirty million thrice!"

"Deal! Congratulations, Mr. Alonso Callen!"

The audience burst into applause.

Alonso also went up to the stage and took the gem in front of everyone.

The gem was placed in an exquisite glass jewelry box. At this moment, under the light, the blue light was very bright, which made many people couldn't help wanting to take a closer look.

At that moment, Alonso walked up to Kelvin and Lucia.

Kelvin frowned slightly.

He probably thought that Alonso had come to show off on purpose.

Unexpectedly, Alonso handed the gem directly to Lucia. "I'll give it to you."

All the people present were shocked.

It was said that Alonso had lost his mind and never played the game according to its rules. Now they finally witnessed it.

Lucia looked at Alonso.

"Don't you like it?" Alonso asked her.

He said it clearly, but some ambiguity could be sensed.

Lucia's heart skipped a beat.

"Lucia won't..." Kelvin hadn't finished his words yet.

Alonso stuffed the jewelry box directly into Lucia's hands.

Lucia took it.

She accepted it and did not reject it.

Kelvin looked at Lucia in disbelief.

Lucia said, "Since Mr. Alonso Callen insists, it's hard for me to refuse."

Alonso obviously smiled.

This wicked grin could charm all women.

He looked at Kelvin and said, "That's it. A gentleman won't take the love of others."

He was mocking Kelvin for his hypocritical words just now.

Kelvin was awkward.

"I am leaving." Alonso faced Kelvin.

At that moment, Lucia felt that he was telling her.

She looked at his back as he left.

It had to be said that although Alonso was arrogant tonight, he was domineering.

Was that how he chased women?

"Since when did Alonso become so handsome!" Melanie, who had always been a little outspoken, couldn't help but say it loudly.

After hearing that...

Kelvin was even more embarrassed

Lucia smiled without a trace.

Kelvin had always been proud that he was different from other children from wealthy families. He was proud of himself and thought highly of himself. He scoffed at everyone else.

The outside world also had a high opinion of Kelvin. It was said that he was a rare talent in Bernille. His family background and his capability were so perfect that they made people jealous of him.

Later, Lucia learned that the so-called external conditions were deliberately bought for Kelvin by the Calshaw family. He was set to grow up in a fake environment. However, Kelvin took all these things seriously and thought he was superior to others.

At this moment, he was insulted by Alonso, and of course, he was unhappy.

Melanie also seemed to feel that what she said was not the right time.

She stuck out her tongue and said, "Lucia, it's getting late. I have to go back first."

Lucia nodded. "Be careful on the way home."

"Okay."

Melanie left.

The charity party was over, and everyone left one after another.

Kelvin swallowed all the unhappiness in his heart and sent Lucia back.

In the car.

Lucia didn't take the initiative to speak. She just looked at the sapphire intentionally or unintentionally.

Kelvin did not say anything. It was clear that he was furious.

He could even imagine how the media would describe him tomorrow!

The more Kelvin thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked up at Lucia and said in a nasty tone, "How could you accept his things?"

The words " embarrassing me" were probably suppressed and did not come out.

Lucia said, "My mom's birthday is coming soon. She likes this sapphire. I'm going to give it to her."

"Even so..."

"I wanted to bid it myself." Lucia interrupted him. "You stopped me."

Kelvin was suddenly at a loss for words.

Apparently, he had thought that Lucia was asking him to pay the bill.

Lucia said indifferently, "When I came to the party, I told my father that I wanted to buy this gem and give it to my mother. I wanted to give my mother a surprise, and my father agreed. He didn't give me a limit."

Kelvin was a little embarrassed.

After a while, he said, "Me too. I was afraid the black sheep Alonso framed you, and thus, I stopped you."

Lucia didn't expose his lie.

She said, "Since Alonso doesn't care about it, it's not inappropriate for me to accept it."

"A gift from that black sheep..."

"Kelvin, you never insulted others before. Why have you changed now?" Lucia asked with an innocent look.

Kelvin was slightly stunned.

"You kept calling Alonso a black sheep tonight, which makes me feel strange. I thought you wouldn't say such a thing." Lucia looked very disappointed.

Kelvin quickly explained, "I was a little angry because he deliberately targeted me tonight. If you don't like it, I will stop saying it in the future?"

Lucia nodded.

Kelvin was angry, but because of Lucia's words, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Lucia sneered to herself.

"Don't you want to be a hypocrite?"

She would let him be a hypocrite for the rest of his life.

...

Kelvin sent Lucia back to the Batstone family's villa.

The moment Lucia got out of the car and went back.

"Ms. Balstone!" A sudden voice sounded. It scared Lucia so much that she wanted to scream for help.

She stared angrily at the man leaning against the wall with his arms crossed under the street lamp.

"Are you always so elusive?" Lucia said grumpily.

"Aren't they all like this when it comes to having an affair?"

"Who's having an affair with you?" Lucia felt that she couldn't hold a polite manner to deal with this guy.

"I thought Ms. Balstone wanted me to steal the bride at her wedding because she wanted my body."

"..." Could she beat him to death with a stick?

"Since you're not, return the card to me!" Alonso changed the topic.

Lucia took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. She said, "Wait for me for a while."

Alonso nodded slightly.

Lucia went home to get her card and returned it to Alonso.

Alonso took the card and was about to leave.

Lucia stopped him. "I'll transfer the sapphire money to you later."

"There's no need," Alonso said. "I'm just pretending. I don't lack such a small sum of money."

He was such a strange person!?

If he didn't mind the money spent, why he kept asking her to return the card?

"Good night, Ms. Balstone." Alonso got in his red sports car and left.

She didn't know why.

There was always a... there was always a feeling that Alonso's true nature was hidden.

Was it an illusion?!

No.

Alonso was indeed hid it well.

And this hidden man, at this moment, was driving while looking at the card between his fingers with interest. On his face, no one could tell what he was thinking.

He moved his eyes as he remembered something, and then he had his Bluetooth connected, "Nixon."

"Ambrose Cais has back to the country."

"Yes," Alonso replied.

He noted.

"I heard that you spent 30 million tonight to bid for the wedding gift of another?" Nixon couldn't help gossiping.

The corners of Alonso's mouth curled into a smile. "Yes, I'm in love."

"..." Nixon was petrified.

He felt that he had heard the biggest joke in his life.

The man, who had never been close to women, was in love.

It was as if... only he knew how to fall in love.

F*ck.

He was showing off his affection in public!
