Chapter: 70
“Of course | do, don’t get me wrong I've just been in the industry for a long time and | have my ways of getting rid of the paparazzi. Don’t worry, Miss Edwards, I'll send you the address later.” Lynch delivered this in a gentle but firm tone.
Ariana cursed silently. He was more vigilant than she had expected. But she had no choice but to accept his condition. “Okay, I'll see you later.”
The two talked for a little longer before hanging up.
That evening, just as Ariana was about to leave, having changed outfits, Judy approached her, holding a finely detailed box. “Ma’am, a package came for you.”
Ariana took it, surprised. There were only a few people who knew where she lived, and very few of them would be likely to send her a package.
Who could it be from? Curious, she opened it. Inside was the very necklace that she had worn on the runway the night before. There was a small card inside too, lines of Lord Byron’s poem written on it.
“She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies. And all that’s best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes...
The note was signed with the letter H.
Was this praising Ariana’s beauty?
The necklace paired with the note made the gift feel intimate. She felt her heart skip a beat as she read it. AfterContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
placing the lid on the box, she called Ivan.
He was quick to answer the phone. “Ariana, you'll never guess how much they bid on the necklace. Thirty million dollars! Incredible! That's all because of you!”
Ariana wasn’t sure how to feel about this. “Ivan, that’s the reason I’m calling. Could you tell me who the buyer is?”
He didn’t ask her why she wanted to know. “It was bought by an anonymous buyer.” Ariana considered this for a moment, and then she told Ivan that the necklace had been sent to. her.
“Oh my God! That’s great. Congratulations!” Ivan was shocked. “I didn’t expect the necklace would make its way back to you, but | think with you is where it belongs.”
She sighed. “The problem is, | don’t know who sent it. It’s far too expensive. | could never accept such a gift.”
“Don’t worry. Maybe someone at the party liked it on you and thought you should have it. This kind of thing happens. That's why so many stars love events like this. They would kill to gain favors with the big names who attend them,” Ivan said with a playful smile.
But Ariana didn’t consider herself to be lucky. Now she was married, and she didn’t want this kind of favor. She didn’t want to think about how Theodore would react once he found out.
