Chapter 50 What Alexa Wants
“What do you think?” Terrence sneered. “Is there someone you’re expecting?”
What the hell?
Alexa had no idea why Terrence was angry again.
Terrence went straight to the president’s office without looking back and did not say
anything more
to Alexa.
Alexa looked out of the window helplessly. She did not expect that the sunny sky would
suddenly be covered with dark clouds. There was even a clap of thunder.
It was going to rain.
Alexa’s good mood was ruined. Now she felt kind of depressed.
Unexpectedly, Nathan no longer picked on her this afternoon. Alexa completed the work
efficiently
and was finally able to get off work on time.
However, just as Alexa happily picked up her bag and was about to leave, she saw
Terrence standing
at the door.
Alexa pretended not to see him and kept walking without looking around.
Terrence’s face darkened. He was very unhappy with her attitude.
“Where are you going?”
Alexa pretended she had just seen him and said, “Is there anything else you need, Mr.
Ramsey?”
“Go to a party with me.”
“A party…” Alexa grimaced instantly. “Can’t Brynlee go with you?”
After he heard this, Terrence’s eyes suddenly turned cold, which made Alexa shudder in
fear.
“What’s wrong?”
“Cut the crap.” Terrence said fiercely, “Come.”
There was nothing worse than this in the world.
Alexa reluctantly followed Terrence and let him stuff her into the car and make a bunch of
stylists
doll her up.
“We are going to a charity party tonight. You can follow me or find a place to rest.”
“Is this party very important?”

Terrence stole a look at the gorgeously dressed-up Alexa and couldn’t help but nod.
“Yes, very important.”
Originally, Terrene was not going. But he heard from the stylist that this dress was very
Alexa, so for the first time, Terrence let Alexa go to a party with him.
Alexa was not a people person. Hearing that she could hide somewhere and rest, she
instantly felt
no pressure.
After entering the party, Terrence soon got busy socializing. Alexa met a few big shots with
Terrence and soon got drunk.
“I think I am a little drunk, ” Alexa whispered to Terrence. “I’m going out for a while.”
Terrence nodded gentlemanly, his voice deep and charming
“Go, I’ll come to you later.”
“Okay.”
With Terrence’s permission, Alexa quickly walked through the crowded hall and went all
the way to the quiet garden in the back.
There was a slender figure standing next to the fountain, and with the help of the silver
light, Alexa recognized him at once.
“Mr. Powell.”
Hearing the voice behind him, Kieran turned around.
“Ms. Duran.”
“What a coincidence.” Alexa asked with a smile, “Why are you here alone?”
“I don’t like noisy places,” Kieran explained unhurriedly. “What’s more, I’m here for the
auction. Clara is interested in a few items.”
“So there is an auction?”
“Yes, it is on the second floor,” Kieran said. “The final item is an emerald necklace.”
An emerald necklace.
Alexa chewed on these two words and suddenly remembered the necklace that her
mother lost when the Duran’s house was seized.
Since it showed up at the auction, it definitely wasn’t ordinary.
Alexa hurriedly pulled up the picture of the necklace on her phone and showed it to
Kieran.
“Dr. Powell, please take a look. Is it this one?”
“That’s right.”
“As expected…”
Alexa muttered to herself and hurriedly called Terrence.
All the while, Terrence, who was standing not far away, looked coldly at the caller ID and
rejected
the call.
Alexa kept calling, but Terrence ignored all the calls.
Alexa didn’t give up until she got a message from Brynlee…
“Terrence’s date is me tonight. Don’t show up in front of everyone again.”
What?
How did it become like this….
Alexa was completely flustered. Compared to her pride, she cared more about her
mother’s
necklace.
“What’s wrong?” Kieran asked with concern. “You don’t look well.”
“He rejected my call, and…” Alexa said with difficulty, “His date is not me anymore.”
Alexa didn’t want to talk about her private matters in front of Kieran, but she was too
frustrated to
care about these things.
“That necklace is very valuable.”
“Is it very important to you?”
“Yes…” Alexa said in a low voice. “It is my mother’s stuff.”
Hearing this, Kieran was surprised.
“I thought he would take you there,” Kieran said gently. “But don’t worry. If you want to, I
will take
you there.”
“Really?” Alexa looked at Kieran gratefully, her eyes sparkling with tears. “Thank you.”
The auction hall was not very big. After all, only the best-known and richest people could
come
here
Therefore, Alexa saw Terrence and Brynlee sitting in the first row as soon as she entered.
Kieran was very considerate and took Alexa to seats a bit far from them.
However, Brynlee saw them at once.
After all, a person like Terrence was too visible.

Powell
are here too.”
When Terrence heard Alexa’s name, coldness flashed across his eyes.
“What does it have to do with us?” Terrence replied in a cold tone.
“There is probably something she wants,” Brynlee said, fanning the flames. “If Mr. Powell
can’t get it for her, I will.”
Terrence clearly heard every word that Brynlee said, and his gloomy face gradually
became even colder.
There was something Alexa wanted?
Great.
After the auction began, Brynlee instantly stole the show.
Terrence bought her everything that she wanted for unbeatable prices.
Alexa, sitting there, became more and more nervous.
Finally, it was the last item.
When the host solemnly took the red cloth off the glass cover, Alexa immediately saw the
resplendent and luxurious emerald necklace. In the light, it was reflecting a quiet green
light.
It was that necklace!
Alexa clutched at her handbag and even held her breath.
The last item, the most precious emerald necklace in history. The starting price is 1.6
million
dollars.”
16 million dollars…
Alexa’s heart instantly sank.
She couldn’t even get a tenth of that now.
“3.2 million dollars.”
The inan next to her suddenly spoke. his voice gentle and firm. Alexa turned to look at
Kieran with a
surprised expression.
“6.4 million dollars.”
A cold and low voice cut in, and Alexa’s heart jumped to her throat.
It was Terrence…
“11.2 million dollars.” Kieran calmly raised the price.
