Chapter 331 He Didn’t Want Wealth, But Power!
The price instantly shot up so high, and the people around looked at each other in astonishment.
Ricky glanced at Hazel beside him, unable to see any resentment on her face towards Gabriel’s behavior.
Feeling the gaze of the man beside her, she shifted her gaze away from the item up for auction and turned to Ricky, asking indifferently, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Previously, Hazel wanted to take pictures of the exhibits as her calling card, so Ricky did not

involved.
As Hazel’s date for tonight, Ricky had already been robbed of the opportunity for their first dance. He didn’t want to be the stepping stone for someone else, especially when it was something his partner desired.
“Aren’t you angry?” He was genuinely curious.
Hazel tugged at the corner of her lips and said, “What’s there to be angry about? Auctions have always been about the highest bidder winning.”
Before the hammer fell on the stage, she did not raise the sign again.
80 million was the minimum price she set for this auction item, and 300 million exceeded the value of the exhibit several times.
From the moment Gabriel received the phone call just now, he left in a serious and hurried manner. And then, when he appeared next to Elaina wearing different clothes, it was obvious that something must have happened in between, forcing him to act in such a way.
She no longer participated in the bidding.

There were three hammer sounds coming from the stage, accompanied by the excited voice of the auctioneer, “Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding on tonight’s finale piece.”
At this moment, a joyful

“Gabriel, I didn’t expect you to take a picture of this exhibit for me. I was really happy tonight.”

Come to an end.
There was a banquet afterwards, but Hazel had other things to do, so she didn’t stay long.
Ricky offered to take her back to the research base, but she politely declined.
“The driver is right at the door. After you drop me off, he still needs to go back to the county town, which would waste too much time. Let’s just part ways here.”
“I was on my way.”
The man’s words carried gentle warmth in the darkness of the night.
Hazel smiled and said, “I saw your assistant pacing anxiously back and forth.”
“Ricky, since I promised to cooperate, I wouldn’t go back on my word.”
The condition under which they collaborated was…
He helped her find the secret in the bracelet and discovered all the wealth left by her grandfather..

And she handed him a list.
Coincidentally, this list happened to be among the wealth left by her grandfather.
Hazel initially estimated that the network of people involved in that list was more valuable than the wealth itself,
For Ricky, who did not want to settle for the high position in front of her, the benefits she could gain from those people far exceeded the treasures left by her grandfather.
He didn’t want wealth, but power!
Before getting on the car, Ricky suddenly asked Hazel a question, “Why didn’t you forgive him?”
Under the night sky, she appeared particularly cold, with almond eyes more captivating than the stars and moon.
“Because, I held grudges.”
She understood that everyone had things they wanted and reasons they had to do things they didn’t want to. On the path of progress, there were always unexpected situations that occurred, so people would inevitably hurt those they cared about while weighing their options.
Her goal was very clear, the person who could accompany her would never give up on her no matter when.
No matter the difficulties or the considerations, to abandon is to abandon.
The harm justified by protection, especially, was filled with irony.
The hurt and suffering were endured by the protected person, while the person who secretly protected the other still felt that everything I did was for your own good. How could you not be willing to forgive me even after I admitted my mistake?
But he forgot.
The person who was protected almost died under this so–called protection in the name of love.
Hazel knew that her personality was not likable, and those around her felt that Gabriel had been improving. He was gradually learning how to love a woman, how to love a family, so she should forgive and accept everything he had given her.
What about her?
Has the heartache she suffered in the past been erased?
Ricky silently watched her get into the car, as the moonlight elongated his shadow under the streetlight, making it quiet and aloof.
Soon, a black and low–profile car appeared by his side.
Ricky turned around and looked towards the ter on

She remained silent, closed her eyes, and pretended not to notice the problem.
In the dark area ahead where the driver’s line of sight couldn’t reach, Hazel gently brushed her finger over the ring on her left hand. With just a flick, her current location information

“I will be away for half a month, during which time if there is anything, please contact Ezra.”
Seeing the expression on Hazel’s face through the rearview mirror, the man paused before continuing, “You don’t need to worry about what
the counterfeit did. I assure you, in just half a month, everything about the Lambert family will be revealed.”
She lifted her eyelids and looked at the man driving steadily in the driver’s seat.
The silent atmosphere flowed inside the car.
In the latter half of the journey, neither of them spoke to each other again..
The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the experimental base.

“Leila will return to her home country on the 3rd of next month,” Hazel said and then got off the car.
Upon hearing her sudden remark, a dark glint flashed in the man’s eyes. The next month’s 3rd happened to be exactly two weeks away. He pursed his thin lips, the curve at the corner of his mouth ambiguous.
After a while, a very light laughter could be heard inside the car.

didn’t leave until Hazel walked through the gate, watched her enter the main building, and saw the lights in her office turn on.
In front of the French window, she watched the silhouette of the black car leaving, and her eyes turned pitch black.

All the investigations that needed to be conducted during this period have been done. Before Jessie passed away, she burned all the information related to her. As per her last wish, Hazel also burned everything that was left, leaving nothing behind.
She took off the expensive bracelet from her wrist and carefully examined it under the overhead light.
Suddenly, she saw a strange pattern inside the bracelet from a certain angle.
It looked a bit like the painting her mother taught her to draw when she was a child.
