Chapter 25

  The auction had come to an end. Lucas was the bidder of the night. He first bought a painting for 2 million dollars and then another for 35 million dollars.

  Hari also believed that Lucas acted kind of like a super—rich sucker tonight.

  Hari tried to tell Lucas that the paintings were not worth the money spent, yet he chose to shut up when he saw Lucas' grim face.

  After the auction was over, the four of them met at the stairs.

  Hari greeted Jessica, "Jessica!"

  Jessica smiled faintly and responded, "Mr. Hartley."

  Jessica nodded and then left with Terry.

  Lucas watched them off. His golden eyes darkened. He then left the venue as well.

  Terry's black Rolls—Royce was quite eye—catching. Jessica got into the car and found that Terry was gazing at her.

  Jessica looked at Terry doubtfully, only to hear the man chuckle and say, "Not bad."

  "I'm sorry?"

  Terry didn't explain but slowly drove out. "Are you hungry now?"
