Chapter 187: She didn’t want him?

In room no 8.

Adrian’s bid had not only shocked the public but the people in the room too.

Lilith looked at him with a hint of surprise while Ji Yan had his mouth agape, looking completely disgraceful.

Adrian had not used the mic, not opened his eyes, yet his bid had caused the biggest impact of the night.

"Ace, you don’t have to..."

At this moment, Adrian’s eyes cracked open. Like a beast stirring from his slumber, he looked ahead with narrowed eyes.

Even when he had his eyes closed, he looked magnificent. But when he opened the pair of onyx eyes, it seemed like the entire world could be contained within them.

Lilith held her breath, losing the track of her thoughts momentarily.

"Second Master..."

"Get it sent to the Eve Mansion."

Adrian rose to his feet and in a few large strides, he stepped out of the room.

Hearing his words, Ji Yan was stunned. After a moment, he turned to Lilith and bowed his head, "Miss Quinn, please take care."

Lilith sat in the empty room, her thoughts gradually stilling.

’Knock knock’

"Esteemed guest, here are your beautifying pills," The staff carefully placed the jade case on the table before retreating from the room.

’Crash’

A hand swept the jade, sending it shattering across the room.

Lilith glanced at her trembling fingers in a daze.

At this moment, there were sounds of approaching footsteps.

"Leave." Lilith whispered, her head lowered.

The sound did not stop. The person kept approaching.

"I said leave!" Lilith looked up, her eyes red.

"I left you alone for a moment and this is what you have turned yourself into," Lilith’s secretary and friend, Eli shook his head slowly.

Lilith pursed her lips, holding back her tears.

In the next moment, a shadow towered over her as Eli held her in his arms. "You were not interested in that painting. You wanted it because she wanted it."

Lilith sucked a shuddering breath, "It was a whim... But so what? Did you see what he did? He brought it for her. He outbid me to buy that trivial thing for her!"

"I was the one by his side all these years. I was the one sitting in the same room with him tonight. Yet, he chose her. Why?!" She panted, her voice breaking.

Eli looked at the woman who was trembling in his arms. After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and pulled back from her.

"Don’t you know what use she has of that painting?" Eli paused, "In fact, what I got to know might uplift your mood."

As he leaned forward to whisper something against her ears, Lilith paused, "Really?"

Eli arched a brow, "Won’t you like to see it for yourself?"

After a moment, Lilith leaned back against the couch, "It’s going to be a good show..." her gaze swept across the beautifying pills that had fallen on the floor, "Collect those. I should save them for the person I brought them for."
