After breakfast, Summer Sutton went to school.
Before leaving, she didn’t see Ryan Walyon at home, so she temporarily put aside the matter of the handkerchief.
Busy at school all day, by the time she came back, Ryan Walyon still wasn’t home, and Summer Sutton completely forgot about it.
The handkerchief just sat in her bag for several days.
After work on Thursday, Adrian Walyon received a call from a friend and went to an auction.
Adrian Walyon typically wouldn’t go to such places; he usually lets his assistant handle anything he’s interested in.
Today was purely on a whim.
The auction featured an emerald gemstone called "Moonlight Elf."
It’s said to have come from a royal family, once belonging to the queens’ crowns for generations.
Upon arriving, Adrian Walyon gazed at the gemstone, thinking it matched Summer Sutton’s temperament.
With her fair skin, slender neck, Summer Sutton would look beautiful wearing an emerald necklace.
The auction for the "Moonlight Elf" was intense.
The starting price was very high, beginning at 80 million.
It quickly rose to 150 million, 200 million, even 300 million.
When the bidding reached 400 million, the room fell silent, and no more offers came. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Just as the auctioneer was about to conclude the sale at that price, Adrian Walyon raised his paddle, "600 million!"
The room went completely silent.
The crowd had thought 400 million was excessive; 600 million left no competitors.
The "Moonlight Elf" was sold for 600 million, becoming the highest-priced gemstone sold in recent years.
On the way back, Adrian Walyon sat in the car, opened the jewelry box, and quietly stared at the gemstone inside.
Feeling that a single gemstone was too lonely, before going home, he turned the car around and headed to a friend’s jewelry store.
With a spontaneous design and rush processing, it was crafted into a beautiful necklace alongside over thirty other emeralds of varying sizes.
By the time he returned to the Walyon Family estate, it was already 2 AM.
The room was dimly lit, and Summer Sutton was already asleep.
Adrian Walyon turned on a soft light without waking her, placed the jewelry box by her pillow, took a shower, and went to bed.
Summer Sutton woke up a bit late the next day, and, without looking at her pillow, hurriedly went to the bathroom to get ready for school.
In her haste, she didn’t properly organize her bag, and several items fell out while running,
including the handkerchief Ryan Walyon had given her.
"Sis, since when do you use handkerchiefs?" Gina Sutton picked it up for her, waving it as she looked at it.
Adrian Walyon followed her gaze and fixed his eyes on the item in Gina Sutton’s hand, his expression slightly hardening.
As his brother, Adrian Walyon would naturally recognize Ryan Walyon’s belongings at a glance.
Summer Sutton had forgotten about this for the past few days.
She stiffly turned her head, glancing in Adrian Walyon’s direction.
Adrian Walyon’s expression was cold, his face seemed covered in a layer of frost. Even with several meters between them, Summer Sutton felt a chill down her spine.
Summer Sutton stared at him blankly for a long time, not knowing how to explain.
"I’ll explain it to you when I get back tonight!" She was in a rush to get to school, snatched the handkerchief, and left the Walyon Family estate in a hurry without even having breakfast.
Gina Sutton stood there, looking at Adrian Walyon’s unpleasant expression, instantly sensing something was amiss.
