“Do you see anything you like?” William asked.
By asking this, he meant that if there was something she liked, he would bid on it for her.
“No,” Jasper shook her head. For her, the donated jewelry and limited edition bags usually didn’t catch her interest.
Just then, as the host was moving on to the next item, he announced that it was donated by an anonymous person. The item was a partially damaged musical score.
Jasper immediately looked towards the stage upon hearing this.
On the big screen on stage, the contents of this incomplete sheet music were displayed. The paper was mottled and yellowed, indicating its age. However, the music on the incomplete sheet caught
Jasper’s eye.
This is the sheet music for “The Old Wind,” a song created by a famous musician a hundred years ago.
Unfortunately, due to the turmoil of war, the song is incomplete.
And there are also many copies of the incomplete piece in the music circle, and many people are happy to complete this piece of music.
Everyone has a different feeling towards a piece of music, and the completed piece of music is also different for each person.
Jasper looked at the music score and listened to the host saying that the anonymous donor claimed it was an authentic piece, but they couldn’t confirm it because there was no expert to authenticate it.
However, Jasper had a feeling that this should be an authentic piece.
“Do you like it?” William guessed from her focused expression.
“Mhmm,” Jasper nodded.
“I can help you take a picture of it,” William offered.
“No need, I already took one myself,” Jasper replied.
“Is there a difference between my photo and yours? Plus, it’s been a while since I’ve given you a gift you like. If you like this, let me take a good picture of it,” he insisted.
That way, when she looks at this composed piece in the future, will she also think of him? William wondered.
When the host announced the start of the auction with a starting price of 1 million yuan, William immediately raised his paddle. After a few rounds of bidding, the final price settled at 1.2 million yuan.
If the sheet music is indeed an authentic piece, then 1.2 million yuan is not too expensive. However, if it is not authentic, then it is really not worth it.
tongue, “Will you have enough pocket money for the month.
after buying this? If not, I can give you some.”
At home, their mom was afraid that they would develop a habit of spending money recklessly, so she set a monthly allowance for them.
Although they also have an unlimited card, they usually don’t use it unless there are special circumstances.
William chuckled, “After I went to college, my family’s money was free to use.”
Jasper blinked, “Uncle Barlow let you use the Barlow family’s money freely?”
“Yeah,” he replied, “My father let me gradually take over some of the family’s business, and I also have other investments that make money, so I have quite a bit of money with me.”
Jasper blinked again. They were the same age, but she was still spending her family’s money while he…had already invested and made money. There really was a gap between people.
“What’s wrong?” He looked at her change of expression and couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s just… all of a sudden, you seem like a grown-up,” she murmured. It was like she was still standing in the same spot while he had already moved forward.
“Isn’t that good?” He looked at her gently. “As I grow up, I can become stronger and protect the people and things I want to protect.”
Jasper couldn’t help but smile at the words, “That’s true.”
The scene of the two people smiling at each other caught
Roger’s eye as he stood in a nearby corner.
In his eyes, there was a hint of jealousy that he himself had never noticed before.
In his eyes, there was a hint of jealousy that he himself had never noticed before.
He anonymously donated this sheet music, and sure enough,
Jasper was drawn to it, while William didn’t hesitate to buy it.
He was willing to spend a million dollars just to make the princess smile.
After today, this incident will likely become a popular story that people love to talk about.
Meanwhile, the tragedy of the Abbott family has long been forgotten by the public.
Jasper… She’s desperately searching for Lawrence, but why? Is it just to ease her own guilty conscience?
If Lawrence is still alive, then her sense of guilt would be lessened.
At this thought, a mocking smile appeared on Roger’s lips.
After a few more auctions, it was finally Jasper’s donated item’s turn.
What she donated was a butterfly-shaped hair clip, decorated with various precious gems, which was very exquisite and beautiful.
The starting price for this hair accessory was naturally not low, at 300,000 yuan.
William frowned slightly, “But you liked this hair clip, didn’t you?” In his memory, this hair clip was a gift from Uncle Reed when she graduated from junior high school, and she loved it at the time.
“I do like it, so I want to do something more meaningful with something I like.” Jasper said, “To me, this is just a hair clip, but for some people, this hair clip can exchange for their food and clothing.”
He was a little stunned. He always felt her kindness unintentionally, just like when she chose music therapy as her future direction of study instead of what everyone guessed before, that she would further her studies in the field of piano and become a pianist in the future.
“So, should I bid on it? Let’s just say I’m doing my part for charity,” said William.
Jasper quickly replied, “No need, you already bid on the sheet music earlier, which was already doing your part for charity. Let someone who truly loves this hair clip bid on it.”
As soon as the auction began, many people started bidding on the hair clip. Of course, half of them were trying to please the Reed family and Jasper.
After all, if they could win Miss Reed’s hair clip and use it to make connections with the Reed family, it would be a great thing.
When the bidding reached 800,000, even Jasper was a bit shocked.
After all, her hairpin is not like a musical score or a genuine artifact. It is just an ordinary item, not a limited edition. Even if someone else wants to buy the same one, they can still find it.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, “Two million!”
This price was more than double the previous bid, and the room fell silent when the voice was heard.
Jasper turned to look at the man who had just spoken. He was a middle-aged man with a strange appearance that Jasper had never seen before.
“Do you know that person?” Jasper asked William, who was standing next to him.
“I don’t recognize them, so they’re probably not a celebrity or someone important from Emerald City,”
said William. After all, he knew most of the wealthy and famous people in Emerald
City.
Jasper looked puzzled at the stranger who had just spent 2 million to buy her hair clip. What could be their motive? Surely, a grown man wouldn’t be so fond of a butterfly hair clip.
With no one else bidding, the hair clip was sold after the auctioneer called out three times.
After the charity auction ended, Jasper found out that the buyer had wired 2 million directly to the organizers and took the hair clip with them.
“Why would someone spend so much money on a hair clip?” Jasper murmured to herself.
“If that person really has any intentions, we should know in a few days,” William said, rubbing her head.
“Don’t think too much about it. Just adapt to the situation. Overthinking will exhaust your brain cells.”
Jasper smiled and agreed.
Outside the charity event, a middle-aged man in a car respectfully handed the hairpin to Roger.
“Young master, this is what you asked for.”
“You did a great job,” Roger said, looking down at the hairpin in his hand. “Don’t let anyone know that I asked you to take a picture of it.”
“Yes, I understand,” replied the middle-aged man.
Roger slowly tightened his grip on the hairpin, pulling it tightly into the palm of his hand, allowing the sharp edges of the gemstones on the hairpin to prick his skin.
Even a butterfly that flies freely will eventually be caught in its own hands!
Jasper was surprised to run into Roger at the welfare center.
Originally, her class organized a charity event and connected with the welfare center. Her classmates took turns coming to the welfare center every week to play the piano for the children there.
At the same time, the school’s teachers encouraged them to use the music therapy methods they had learned to better help some of the children at the welfare center, making them more positive and happy about life.
Jasper quite liked this kind of charity activity, and she enjoyed spending time with children.
Before coming to the welfare center, she even bought some small gifts to give to the children there.
Upon arriving at the welfare institution, she didn’t see many children. Just as she was wondering about this, the teacher at the institution clarified things for her, “Many of the children have gone to listen to the big brother play the piano.”
“Big brother?” Jasper asked in confusion.
“He’s also a student at your Stanford University and plays the piano very well. Every time he comes, the children love listening to him play,” the teacher explained.
“Could it be one of our classmates?” Meave, who came with Jasper, asked.
“We’ll know if we go and see,” Jasper said.
“Go and see for yourself,” Jasper said.
When they arrived at the room where the piano was being played, they saw Roger playing the piano while many children sat around him, seemingly enjoying his performance.
The piece Roger played was not a well-known piano piece, but rather a tune from an animated cartoon.
Jasper listened and recognized it as the theme song from a cartoon she watched when she was a child.
