Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 129

Surely, he loved Laura more than he loved her. Yes, it must be.

Clara thought to herself.

Horace and Laura met and fell in love with each other at a very young age and they grew up together. How could she replace Laura in his heart? She couldn't even compare herself to Laura, who was such a beautiful and excellent woman.

What's worse, she had died, which meant that Horace would never be able to forget her.

Clara didn't know what she was feeling.

At this time, Logan made a bid.

"One million and a hundred grand!"

The audience exclaimed. He was the one who donated the pen, why would he make a bid? What was happening? Did he regret giving the pen away? It was a reasonable explanation, after all, the pen was his late sister's belonging.

Horace stared at the pen, raised his hand and bid again.

"One million and two hundred grand!"

Everyone began to discuss.

Everyone present was celebrities, so, many of them knew about the past between Horace and Laura. Moreover, the kidnap and arson case had made a sensation back then. Some of them were acquaintances of the Hutchinson family and the Kirkland family, so they knew a bit more about Laura and Horace.

If Horace hadn't managed to escape the fire, he would have been killed in the fire with Laura.

In order to save him, Laura asked Horace to escape first. However, the fire was too big for her to escape and she ended up being killed by the fire. How sad and tragic it was!

Now it seemed that Horace still loved Laura deeply. His wife was sitting right beside him, and he was trying to get his ex-girlfriend's belonging.

Logan kept raising the price with a sneer.

"One million and three hundred grand!"

Horace, you hypocrite. You don't deserve Laura's pen.

Horace followed.

"One million and four hundred grand!"

Clara lowered her head and stared at her purse, she dared not look at the expression on Horace's face, nor the pen.

Everyone turned to look at Clara, wondering if Horace wanted to get the pen so badly because he was still in love with Laura and the pen was the evidence of their love.

If that was the case, how awkward Horace's wife must be right now!

Clara kept lowering her head.

Alastair knew that if this went on, Clara would be embarrassed, however, she couldn't leave at this moment. Therefore, he said to her, "Hey, don't think too much. What they had is in the past now. You are Horace's wife, remember."

Alastair's words made Clara feel even worse. How unlucky she was today! She had just lost the amulet her mother gave her, and now, her husband was bidding on his ex-girlfriend's pen. What a horrible day!

How could he bid such a high price on his ex-girlfriend's belonging in front of his wife? He had shown no respect for her by doing so and this had also proved that he loved Laura the most, not her.

However, if Horace was a heartless man who could forget the woman he loved so readily, would she still love him?

As she thought about it, Clara found that Horace had a reason to do this. After all, he had had beautiful memories with Laura, which were precious.

Clara had mixed feelings.

Logan made another bid.

"One million and five hundred grand!"

The host waited for a few seconds before he was about to count down the seconds.

No! He couldn't let Logan get it. Horace was determined to get the pen.

He raised the bid.

"Two million!"

The auction today seemed to be getting more and more interesting. The crowd cheered for Horace. "Congratulations, Mr. Kirkland!" "Mr. Kirkland is a really good man."

The host was also excited. They had sold a pen for two million and it was very rare.

He raised his voice, "Two million, once! Two million, twice! two million, deal!"

The crowd applauded.

Staring at the pen, Logan couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps this was what Laura would want.

Horace was really something.

The second item for sale was Alastair's donation, which was a handicraft made in Thailand. It looked beautiful and was richly ornamented. The craftsmanship in the way the gold was inlayed in it was magnificent. All in all, it was an invaluable artifact. It ended up being sold to a fat rich man.

Ashlee's donation was a limited-edition Hermès purse, which she had bought in France last year. And now, she no longer liked the design and had decided to give it away for the auction. However, the purse was adored by the rich middle-aged ladies here, who all craved to get it.

Seeing that the purse was sold at a high price, Ashlee felt complacent. At least, it made her look good.

Then, a few more donated items were sold. Although they were all exquisite collections, the audience wasn't so excited about them as they had been about the first few items. The host was in low spirits because of this.

Soon, it was Clara's donation that was about to be auctioned.

The items sold just now were all ordinary collections, however, this was Mrs. Kirkland's donation, which meant that it must be valuable.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on it with expectations.

The item was then shown to everyone.

Upon seeing it, Clara was dumbfounded.

How could it be?

Why was it here?

Her donation should be a luxurious diamond necklace, not this! Clara didn't know what had happened.

Holding Clara's hand, Horace told her not to act rashly, just calm down and sit still.

Everyone couldn't believe what they were looking at. This must be the most ridiculous item for auction in history.

Mrs. Kirkland was really something.

Darren was anxious. What should he do? This must be a prank, because Clara would never take that thing out for auction. Was it Ashlee again? He squinted at Ashlee, who was looking proud. He could almost be sure it was her.

Ashlee was gloating. Her plan worked again! She sneered in her heart, "Clara, let's see how you are going to turn the table in front of all the celebrities here! A bastard of a whore, how dare you steal my man? I want you to taste how it feels to be condemned by everyone! What's more, everyone present isn't to be messed with, their stares and words could kill you!"

"Oh my God, what was that?" someone gasped, "It's ugly!"

"Is this a joke? This is for charity. How could she do that?"

"Wow, what a bumpkin."
