Chapter 166
Isaac’s gaze fell on Patricia as he said, “Of course. She’s worth it.”
Patricia rolled her eyes. Why is Adeline so lucky? Why does she have such a handsome boyfriend
who prepared such an expensive gift for her?
The more she thought about it, the more she lamented over the unfairness of it all. A wicked
woman like Adeline deserved to stay single for the rest of her life.
All three men were looking at Patricia, but she rolled her eyes with a disgruntled expression on her
face.
Percy found it amusing while Nikola massaged his forehead with a sigh. They considered her a
walking calamity. All three of them were at risk of being pulverized to smithereens when she was
around.
However, it could not be helped that Isaac was infatuated with her. What a conundrum!
The auction had come to an end, so the crowd on the first floor had begun dispersing.
Liam and the other assistants all went over to help their respective bosses pay and collect the
items they won.
Patricia got up and glanced at the three men.
“President Arnold, are we heading back now?”
The auction started at 3.30PM and it was already 6.00PM now. There had been a lot of items up
for auction, and the auctioneer had launched into a detailed summary of the background and
uniqueness of each item, so it ended up taking quite some time.
Perhaps this was the life of a wealthy person. Maybe they were fond of things that had a story and
a captivating history.
Either way, Patricia felt like it was time for her to get off work and return to her children. She had
not seen them the entire day, and she was beginning to miss them.
Isaac checked the time. “Let’s get dinner first. We’ll head back after dinner.”
Patricia did not protest since he was the boss. He called the shots!
They got up and headed downstairs. The owner was waiting on the first floor, and she came over
as soon as she spotted Isaac.
“You’ve finally graced us with your presence, President Arnold.”
Isaac shook her head. She was dressed in a vintage dress and was very beautiful.
“There were a lot of fine items this time, Miss Landry,” he commented half-heartedly. He would not
have come this time if it had not been for Patricia.
Rosalie Landry was keen on him, but he did not care for her, so it was best that they kept their
distance.
“I heard that you’re getting engaged, Mr. Arnold. It’s such a pity. I look forward to your divorce. I,
Rosalie Landry, will always be here waiting for you.” Her eyes flashed with sorrow as she said
those words.
Patricia’s expression morphed into one of visible shock. Just how eligible of a bachelor is he, Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
anyway? There’s always some admirer of his at every turn.
Still, this young woman seemed like a far greater catch than Adeline. Not only was she beautiful,
she also ran a renowned antique shop.
The grandness of the auction held each year was a testament to Rosaline’s talent, so it was such
a pity that Isaac was so blind.
Nikola thrust his hand out to shake hands with her. “Why don’t you consider me, Miss Landry? I’m
not too shabby myself,” he said with a wicked grin before winking at her.
However, Rosalie smiled faintly and mentioned, “I’m afraid I’m a lot more selective when it comes
to love, Mr. Ortega. When I find the right person, they will be my one true love for my entire
lifetime.”
As she said that, her gaze drifted back to Isaac.
At the same time, Isaac’s eyes fell on Patricia as he thought to himself, I’m the same. Once I find
the right person, she’s the one for me, for all lifetimes.
He bought this necklace because he wanted to be with her, and for their love to span every single
lifetime.
Percy chatted with Rosalie for a bit before bidding her goodbye.
All of them walked out of the compound and headed toward their cars. The parking lot was quite
empty now as most people had left.
Zachary’s car was still there, however, and Madam Selwyn was talking to him.
