Chapter 191: Don't Say Sorry, It's Not Your Fault
After the woman leaves in anger, John brings a glass of champagne to Lily and says, "You're too
impulsive. If you can't endure it when you're doing business, you will fail. Doesn't Louis teach you
that?"
Lily takes the champagne and snorts, "I just don't like the way she looks."
"I think I went too far just now." She gets a little regretful when she rethinks about it, "Is she important?
Will she affect your business? Why didn't you stop me?"
Three hard questions smash towards John.
John smiles lightly and says indifferently, "It's her honor to talk to us. With me here, you can say or do
whatever you want. I'll support you."
Lily feels a little flushed. She drinks a mouthful of champagne and looks away.
There are many of John's acquaintances, each of whom comes up to greet him. Smiling all the time,
Lily feels her face stiffen. When she finally sits down and catches her breath, the auction begins.
There are more than 30 items donated by the upper-class or celebrities. No matter at what prices the
items are auctioned, the money will be used to build rural schools, medical vehicles, and so on.
For the sake of their own fame, some people would pay a lot for an item, heating the whole auction up.
"The next item is the yellow diamond necklace donated by Mr. Addison Baird."
The emcee opens the box, in which lies a yellow diamond necklace on top of the high-grade velvet,
dazzling and attractive.
Many women cry out in amazement at the scene.
Lily looks at the necklace and understands their feelings.
Yellow diamonds are common, but the purity of this yellow diamond on this necklace is extremely high,
and the grain is very large. It will show great luxury on a banquet or something else.
Seeing her staring at the necklace, John asks, "Do you like it?"
"I'm not interested in jewelry." Lily says that she thinks it is good-looking, but she isn't very interested.
"Moreover, with such a large yellow diamond, the starting bid must be very high."
At this time, the emcee says, "The starting price of this Passionate is 30 million yuan!"
Lily almost spits out the champagne in surprise. She wipes her mouth with a tissue. "I feel that this
charity dinner is no different from the ordinary auction. It's all about making money."
Just after she speaks, John raises his hand. His voice is calm and penetrating. "50 million!"
Lily immediately stares at him, "Are you crazy?"
"Just 50 million," John smiles.
"I have said I don't want it!"
"I'm not forcing you to take it. If you don't want it, just smash it into pieces, so that I won't feel
uncomfortable seeing others wearing it."
"..."
A deep male voice comes from the right, "60 million."
The familiar voice stiffens Lily, and John frowns.
After a few seconds, Lily looks to the right.
Her gaze pierces through the crowd and she sees the man shrouded in the spotlight with his cold
features and scarlet lips, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, his legs covered with a thin blanket.
Why is he here?
Lily sees that there are many people sitting around Louis, as if they are discussing about his behavior.
She subconsciously wants to get up and go over, but she sees a slender figure sitting beside Louis,
very close to him, as if she is talking to him.
It is Stella.
Lily sits back down, suppressing the discomfort in her mind.
John sees all of her subtle movements. When he calls out again, his voice is cold and deep, "70
million."
Louis continues, "80 million."
"This is too boring." John glances at Louis and smiles, "One hundred million."
The emcee's hands are trembling.
It is just a charity dinner where a necklace is sold for such a high price!
"Mr. Dawn has offered 100 million yuan. May I ask if Mr. Smith is still bidding?" The emcee looks at
Louis.
"No," Louis says.
"Passionate has been sold for 100 million yuan! Congratulations, Mr. Dawn!"
There aren't so many complicated procedures at the charity dinner, so the necklace is quickly delivered
to John.
"Let me help you put it on." John opens the necklace button.
Lily shakes her head, "John, I really don't like it. You can keep it."
"So do you like to smash it?"
Seeing that he isn't joking, Lily knows if she refuses again, he will really have someone bring a
hammer.
She gives in and turns around.
John takes off the necklace around her neck and casually throws it like trash. He smiles and gently
puts on the yellow diamond necklace.
She deserves the best.
Two and a half hours later, the items are all sold. The lights become very stylish, and there is music on
the field.
So it is dancing time.
John pulls Lily into the central zone and places his hand on her waist. He stares at her almost greedily
as if he can't get tired of watching her. The two of them slowly sway and dance to the music.
"Don't look at me like that." Lily can't stand his blazing gaze, "Dance."
"Will you remember tonight?"
Lily does not say anything.
John chuckles and says, "I will. I will remember these seven days, every minute we spent together and
those places we went to, which I'll draw down."
"Darling." He leans against her forehead and says in a humble tone, "Can you forgive me?"
Lily's body stiffens when she thinks of those things.
"I'm sorry."
The harm he has done is too great. She has strived to forget it for so long, but she fails.
"Don't say sorry. It's not your fault," John says.
He isn't in a hurry. He has time, definitely. When he asks again, he will be forgiven by her.
The pain in John's heart chokes him.
Lily notices that his arms are trembling and asks, "What's wrong? Are you unwell?"
John shakes his head, "I remember that something has not been taken care of."
He pulls Lily out, takes off the camellia from his gown, and carefully puts it in her hand, "I have to go
first. Wait here, and someone will come to pick you up."
"John!"
Lily sees him walking very fast and stumbles to catch up with him. When she gets downstairs, she sees
John bend down and get into a car, which quickly drives away.
A strange feeling surges through her heart.
It is as if they will never see each other after this separation.
When Lily is about to return to the hotel, she meets Louis, and Stella does not accompany him.
"Lily, why don't you tell me?" Louis pushes the wheelchair over with a gloomy expression, "Do you think
John can turn the world upside down by taking those shares of the Smith Group?"
So he has known.
Lily purses her lips and pretends to be relaxed, "It's no big deal. I'm one of his friends. It's good to go
out with him for fun and get the shares back."
"I don't need you to ask for the Smith Group's shares in this way!" Louis said seriously, "You'd better NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
not get involved with him. If something happens, no one will protect you."
"If I don't do anything, am I waiting for the Smith Group's bankruptcy? Do you think I want to do this
shitty job? I'm tired of it!" Lily is also enraged by his lecture.
Just because he saved her from a lethal blow and lost both his legs, she has always felt guilty. She
always hopes that he is fine, and the Smith Group is fine.
If she had known that guilt would be so tiring, she would rather Louis did not protect her!
