Chapter 76
"Mom, it's not necessary. The day you publicly cut ties with my sister at the press conference, she must still be furious. I'll handle this myself," Lauren said.
Upon hearing about it, Lauren instantly became angry. "Let her be! From now on, I'll just pretend I don't have a daughter!"
At nine o'clock in the evening, Gianna and Felix returned to the Villa.
She took off the necklace and handed it to Felix. "Thank you for tonight."
Felix's face turned cold, and he looked at her expressionlessly. "You've already worn this necklace. You can't give it to someone else. Keep it for yourself."
Gianna thought about it and spoke up, "How much is it worth? I'll give you the cashmoney."
"Do you have to divide calculate everything so clearly with me?!" Feliz exclaimed angrily.
Noticing that Felix was upset, Gianna pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Clinton, if we don't make things clear, the boundaries between us will become increasingly blurred."
Since they were destined to separate soon, Gianna didn't want any further entanglementinvolvement.
She calmly said, "I'm tired tonight. I'll go back to my room, and Mr. Clinton, please rest early too."
Upon returning to the bedroom, Gianna looked up the price of the necklace. Since Felix had bought it at an auction, Gianna quickly found the price.
At tThe moment she saw the number, Gianna wanted to take back her words about exchanging it for cashmoney.
One billion!
Such a piece of broken stone actually cost that much!
Because of that one billion, Gianna couldn't sleep at night. She thought all night but couldn't figure out how to come up with that amount of money.
If she had known that Felix bought it at such an expensive price, she would never have worn this necklace!
Early the next morning, Gianna came out of the bedroom with dark circles under her eyes.
They finished breakfast in silence and didn't speak. They went to work separately.
As soon as they reached the company's entrance, they saw the front desk adorned with flowers, and people were discussing them.
"Oh my god, which man sent these to his girlfriend? I'm so jealous!"
"There are so many flowers, where can they even put them? I think it's just showing off wealth!"
"What does it matter to you if they're showing off? If you had money, you could do the same!"
Gianna took a glance and was about to take the elevator when she saw Faith storming towardstoward the front desk.
"Throw all these flowers in the trash. If anyone sends me more flowers, just throw them away!" Faith declared.
Gianna was somewhat surprised. Were these flowers sent by Faith's admirers?
After giving her instructions, Faith turned around and saw Gianna, quickly walking towardstoward her.
"Gianna, let's go up together."
Gianna was pulled into the dedicated elevator for the company's management by Faith. Only after the elevator closed did Gianna smirk and speak, "Which suitor of yours is so high-profile?"
Faith looked unhappy and replied unkindly, "Other than that lunatic Uriah, who else could it be? He got drunk last night and called me, apologizing and saying he wanted to make it up to me. I thought he was just talking nonsense, but this morning he sent a car full of flowers. He's completely insane!"
Gianna furrowed her brow. "Is he trying to pursue you again?"
"I don't know what he's thinking, but there's no way I'll get back together with him. I am allergic to trashy men!"
Seeing Faith's determined expression, Gianna smiled and said, "I guess he has been hurt by Jasmine Astor recently."
Faith sneered, "I don't want to get involved in their messy relationship. After some time, things will calm down."
As they spoke, the elevator arrived at the top floor, and the two went their separate ways to their offices.
Just as Gianna sat down on her chair, she received a phone call from Laura Hall.
"Gianna, I've been in Dawnridge for a week, why haven't you contacted me?"
"Ms. Hall, you're so busy, I wouldn't dare to contact you."
Laura coldly snorted, "As long as you invite me, I’ll make the have time no matter how busy I am. I've been waiting to be your mistress!"
Gianna: "..."
If the outside world knew about the true nature of the aloof Ms. Hall, her image would collapse, right?
"I'm not interested in women."
"Gianna, you're so direct. It hurts my feelings!"
Gianna trembled.
"Laura, can you be normal?"
Laura cleared her throat, and her voice finally returned to normal.
"I've been filming these days, and only today did I see that the actress from our crew was trying to smear your reputation online using the popularity of 'Many Years.' Has it been resolved?"
"Yes, is that why you called?"
"I care about you, and you're so cold. It's a pity you don't understand my true feelings."
Gianna: "Save your acting for the set."
"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore. When are you free for a meal together?"
"You're so busy with filming. You decide on the time."
"Then tomorrow night! I'll have my agent book a restaurant!"
"Okay."
"I have another scene to shoot soon, so that's all for now!"
After hanging up the phone, Laura turned around and said to her agent, "Red Sister, book a private room with good privacy. I'm having dinner with Gianna tomorrow night."
The agent nodded. "Alright."
