But Carter also knew that at this time, whoever danced with Cora would not end well, including Carter himself.
However, Cora was very smart and resolved the embarrassment between the two of them just right.
In the men’s bathroom, Harry followed Byron as soon as he came in.
“Byron, I just want to help you take care of the mess quickly. Are you angry?”
Two men with the same outstanding aura stood in front of the sink and washed their hands. Harry observed Byron’s expression through the mirror.
But Byron didn’t express any expression from the beginning to the end, let alone look at Harry.
“You seem to have too much time recently?”
“Well…
It’s not that you don’t know the situation of my father. He keeps saying that he is handing over the Cross Group to me, but in fact, he is still afraid that I’ll ruin the foundation of our family. He just sits at the company’s headquarters every day and does everything himself.”
So, Harry still only needed to manage his company of internet celebrities every day.
Seeing that Byron was about to leave after washing his hands, Harry chased after him.
“By the way, the Yoris family just asked you about the wedding, right? When is the date? Will it be held at the end of the year?”
Byron didn’t answer his questions.
“It seems that you really have too much time, and I should ask your father to arrange a few blind dates for you.”
Harry was dumbfounded.
Even if he had too much time, what did it have anything to do with blind dates?
Just as he was about to catch up and ask Byron, his eyes were suddenly covered…
Byron continued to walk forward, but he didn’t know the horrifying scene of Harry being dragged into the bathroom with a sack bag over his head.
When Byron returned to the hall, Jane was looking at the brochure of today’s auction items.
“This pair of earrings is pretty good, but what I like the most is this anklet. Look at the ruby on it. It’s so delicate and charming, and it really satisfies every girl’s fantasy.”
Byron actually didn’t like these things. Apart from being invited, he came to this charity auction only because his father’s birthday was coming, so he came here to get a piece of antique for his father.
He was not interested in other auction items, but Jane enthusiastically handed the brochure in front of him.
“Byron, what do you think?”
Byron glanced impatiently at the anklet on the brochure and then suddenly froze.
The anklet was rose gold, and the ruby was made into pendants of different lengths. On the fair-
skinned feet of the model, it looked delicate and charming.
However, Byron felt that putting this anklet on this model’s feet was a waste.
He knew someone who had fairer feet than the model, and she would definitely make the anklet look its best.
Seeing that it was rare for Byron to look at the thing she liked so intently, Jane couldn’t help asking,
“Byron?”
“It should look good on people with fair feet.”
Jane was surprised and turned to look at Byron, only to see that he was still staring intently at the anklet on the brochure. His jawline was slightly tense, and his slightly protruding Adam’s apple looked very hot.
The hotness on her face instantly spread to her neck, and even her ankle seemed to be burning. She couldn’t help shrinking back.
“Who sent this anklet?”
Byron lit a cigarette, and his deep eyes were still looking at the anklet on the brochure.
The smell of his smoke was not unpleasant and even had a deceptive taste.
“It was sent by the Sheldon family. It is said that it is Mrs. Sheldon’s work. The ruby was also bought from an auction not long ago.”
Jane’s heart beat even faster.
Apart from the fact that this was the first time Byron had spoken so many words to her in private, it was also because she felt that he had praised her fair feet just now.
“Mrs. Sheldon?”
Byron remembered that she was a genius designer, but her family was not short of money, so her works were mostly not mass-produced, and occasionally there would be some limited ones.
“Does it say that this is the only one in the world?”
There was a lot of introductions about this anklet, which took up several pages, and Byron didn’t bother to read it.
“Yes, it is said that Mrs. Sheldon did it all by herself, from the design to the polishing of the gemstones.
This is the only piece in the world which has the meaning of being one and only.”
Jane liked this anklet quite a lot before and wanted to buy it herself.
But now, seeing Byron asked about the anklet in detail, she felt that Byron would definitely get this anklet and give it to her later.
In fact, she was a little nervous when she found out that he had another woman. But thinking about it now, he was such an amazing man, and it would be abnormal if there was no woman around him.
As long as they got married, his energy could be vented on her, and he would definitely not have the energy to find other women in the future.
Now that he even took the initiative to give her an anklet, the anger that was pent up in her heart suddenly dissipated and turned into full of anticipation.
“Not bad!”
Byron tapped the armrest with his long fingers, and his eyes silently searched for something in the banquet hall.
“Well, it’s really nice. It’s much better than the mass-produced brands that only focus on fake advertisement.”
Jane seemed to be calmly discussing the anklet with Byron, but in fact, her heart was about to jump into her throat.
Byron liked the meaning of this anklet. If he got it and gave it to her, wouldn’t it be the same as a promise to her in disguise that she would be the only woman in his life?
In the excitement and anticipation of Jane, it was time for the auction.
After a few paintings, it was the anklet.
Seeing Byron remain indifferent after several people shouted prices one after another, Jane was a little suspicious of what she had just thought and even planned to bid by herself.
Fortunately, at this moment, Byron gave Carter a glance.
Carter understood.
“2.5 million dollars.”
Now, those who were actively participating in the auction just now looked at the corner where Byron was in astonishment and then consciously gave up the idea of participating in the auction.
Byron directly added 1.6 million dollars to the price they had offered.
It was even more because he was afraid of offending Byron. After all, Byron was the new patriarch of the Hansen family, which was the head of the four prominent families in New York, and no one wanted to offend this man.
Soon, the auctioneer closed the bid.
“Congratulations to Mr. Hansen.”
Byron nodded slightly and asked Carter to pay for the anklet.
When Carter got up, a lady in a lavender dress came to Byron’s side with a glass of wine.
“Byron, thank you so much for your support tonight.”
“You’re welcome.”
Byron clinked glasses with her and took a sip.
Most people would automatically look a little less powerful in front of the elders, but Byron wouldn’t. He was neither humble nor overbearing and kept his character.
The lady smiled, patted Jane’s hand, and said,
“Take good care of Byron, okay?”
Jane gently held the lady’s hand.
“Mom, don’t worry.”
This lady was Sara Yoris, Jane’s mother.
She came over to thank Byron for bidding for the anklet, not only wanting to express her gratitude to the Hansen family for donating a lot of items to the event tonight but also because she knew Jane liked this anklet.
Now that this anklet was taken by Byron. It was obvious that he got it for Jane.
Sara had always liked Byron. On the one hand, it was because of the Hansen family’s state in New
York. On the other hand, Byron’s personal ability was not bad. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the dream lover of thousands of girls in New York.
They always hoped that Byron and Jane would settle down as soon as possible, but they were also afraid that Byron would be taken away.
However, tonight, Byron bought Jane’s favorite anklet to give her, which could be regarded as a reassurance for them.
“Then I’ll leave you two alone.”
After the two exchanged joy in their eyes, Sara returned to her seat.
But what she didn’t expect was that shortly after she left, Carter brought back the anklet, but Byron took it and put it directly in his trouser pocket.
“Byron?”
Jane was confused. Shouldn’t he give it directly to her?
“What’s wrong?”
Byron turned his head and glanced at Jane without any intention of taking out the anklet.
“Nothing.”
Jane was a lady, after all, and she had her own dignity and bottom line, so she couldn’t ask why the anklet was not given to her.
In order to hide her astonishment and embarrassment, Jane raised her glass.
“I also want to represent the Yoris family to thank you, Byron.”
“You’re welcome.”
Byron clinked glasses with her indifferently and drank. No one mentioned it again.
