Chapter 27 You'd better be Smart
"If I don't come, you'll go to a blind date tonight?"
Andrea choked on Baron’s words, "I'm not that bored."
Baron bent down and sat in the back seat of the car, he questioned Andrea with an unhappy tone,
"Were you cheerful yesterday?"
Andrea remembered how bad it was yesterday, "I was tricked by them, I still want to live a few more
years."
Baron sneered, "Better be careful."
Andrea didn't say anything.
After she investigated the truth successfully about the contract then she would be able to leave this
man.
So why she wouldn't angry about Baron during her investigation otherwise she will get herself into
trouble.
After witnessing Baron’s tactics a few times, even a fool knows how to hold back.
After looking at her, Baron was still a little unhappy, "I thought you were rushing back to see your idol."
Andrea clutched her clothes nervously.
But her face was still calm, and she said, "Eason and Cassidy are inseparable. I just adore him, and I
wish to get in touch with him and learn something more about design. And I wouldn't ask him at home
because it is more appropriate than I'm learning through working hours."
She drew a demarcation line with Eason repeatedly.
Hopefully, it would dispel Baron’s suspicions.
Baron stopped talking.
Andrea tensed for a long time, she was sneaking out of breath and enjoy the scenery outside the car
window.
The car returned to that castle she was very familiar with; Abner greeted them and opened the door for
them. He was greeting Andrea with a smile, "Miss Anderson, welcome back."
Andrea nodded to him.
Three of them went inside the castle together, Abner took their coats and hang them up. He turned
back and asked Baron with concern. "Mr. Howard, do you feel better?"
Baron glanced at Andrea, "She's very useful."
Abner answered with relief, "It's good that Mr. Howard is feeling better, you can get some rest early
tonight."
Andrea, who was sitting on the side, listened to the conversation of two of them and she understood
that the reason Baron had come to pick her up earlier was because of his odd illness.
She also felt amazing that she didn't know Baron before. But why was this illness connected to her?
On the other end, Abner came back to asked Andrea also, "Miss Anderson, you should also rest early
tonight and accompany Mr. Howard"
Andrea agreed.
Did she dare to disagree?
Her life was pinched by Baron, how could she fight with him?
Andrea went back to the bedroom with Baron.
The hot water in the bathroom was ready prepared. Andrea stood in front of Baron and helped him
unbuttoning his shirt.
When she unbuttoned the last one, Baron asked, "Do you have a brother?"
Andrea said, "Yes, you know I went to the hospital to see him last time."
"His medical expenses are being covered by Anderson’s family?"
Andrea replied helplessly, "Although I'd like to bear it myself, I really can't afford it."
So even though she hated Anderson’s family, she couldn't tear her face from Anderson’s family for the Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
sake of her brother.
"Why don't I take charge of your brother's treatment?"
Andrea hesitated for a moment and shook her head to refuse.
The main reason was that Anderson's family was still willing to take care of her brother, the worst that
could happen was that she was threatened.
If they entrusted the cost of treatment to Baron, they would have a mess after the mistress contract
was terminated.
Moreover, Baron was willing to help her because of the mistress contract, but the mistress contract
would be terminated one day. If her brother hadn't woken up by that time, wouldn't it be hard to solve?
Baron didn't expect her to refuse, but it was clear that she didn't want to be involved with him anymore.
"I'll bear your brother's treatment to substitute for your effort, so it's even."
Andrea said with stubborn, "No need Mr. Howard, my brother has nothing to do and there's no need to
get him involved."
Baron frowned.
"This matter is settled." He said in an overbearing tone, "I'll arrange someone to handle it tomorrow."
"Mr. Howard, it's not necessary."
Andrea rejected strenuously, but in the end, her objection failed, and she was carried into the bathroom
and tossed by the man till she can't spit out a single word.
The next day Andrea slept till afternoon, she was awakened by the phone ringing.
She spoke weakly, "Hello, hello, what can I do for you?"
A caller is an unfamiliar number with a respectful voice, "Hello Miss Anderson, I'm Zoey Peterson, I'll be
responsible for Mr. Anderson's treatment from now on. I've to contact Miss Anderson in time to report
the situation of Mr. Anderson."
Andrea was speechless.
Anyway, things had turned out like this, what else could she say?
After the phone call, she woke up and tidied up herself. She went downstairs ate the lunch and start
reading.
Since she was still on New Year's holiday, Andrea’s days were spent with reading books, arranging
flowers, designs, and other entertaining activities.
Likewise, Baron was much more relaxed than before.
The man even stayed at the castle for the entire day, and he was able to handle all the work quickly
inside the study.
After they had spent half a month in the castle, after everything had been dealt with, Baron instructed
Andrea, "You... Come with me to an auction tonight."
The man's social life has never been less, and Andrea has been following Baron for a while and she
was used to attending various occasions. She nodded and answered," Okay, I got it."
That night, both of them entered together and had their seats according to the invitation cards.
Andrea flipped through the brochure prepared by the authority and Baron asked, "Is there anything you
want?"
Andrea quickly shook her head, "I'm not interested."
Even she was interested, she wouldn't ask Baron gave her.
After a moment, the auction officially began with the host's words.
Baron had been keeping his eyes closed for the first half of the session. He was starting to concentrate
when the first auction item was displayed in the second half of the session.
The first auction item in the second half of the course was a green jade bracelet.
The transparency of this bracelet was very good, and it could show and tell the people that it was
precious.
As expected, the starting bid of the green jade bracelet was one million.
The sound of bidding increases rose and fell in the room, and Baron was determined to win this
bracelet, and he continued to bid when others bid it too.
Gradually the other bidders who had bid on the bracelet were stopped raising their bids.
"Anyone else wants to bid up the price?" The stage hostess smiled, looked around at the guests below,
and raised her little hammer.
"Three million once...three million twice...three million..."
It was about to strike the little hammer at a third time.
Another small sign was held up somewhere in the hall.
"I'll add another half million."
As soon as he spoke, the hall was in an uproar.
Firstly, it was already over price, and the man still followed.
Secondly, everyone could see that Baron was going to bid this jade, and this person was openly
competing with Baron?
So, the crowd turned back to see who this person was.
Andrea also felt that the voice sounded a bit familiar and looked back also.
Then she discovered that this person was Matthew Todd.
She was surprised and it seemed that Matthew was really at odds with Baron.
Baron wasn't moving and said, "I'll also add half a million."
The two men continue the bid and none of them willing to give it to others.
The price of the bracelet was getting ridiculous.
And when the price reached six million, Matthew unsurprisingly stopped raising the price.
Even though the price of six million was outrageous, Baron’s expression looks with an easy grace.
He was just going to auction this bracelet off anyway, no matter how much it would cost.
In the end, the bracelet was auctioned to Baron.
Once all the auction items had finished, the organizers handed this bracelet over to Baron.
The bracelet was placed in a velvet box, it looks like a green crystal under the light, so translucent and
warm. Although Andrea didn't know anything about jade, she also marveled at its beauty.
After checking, he instructed his assistant without any expression, "Send it abroad."
Andrea thought that the person he gave it should be very precious, right?
