Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 128 Laura's Pen

Clara wondered what the relationship between Logan and Horace was. Logan mentioned Laura just

now, who was he? Were the three of them friends before or was he in love with Laura?

Clara found that when Logan mentioned Laura, there was sadness in Horace's eyes. Maybe he would

never forget about Laura.

As they walked, Clara asked Horace, "Who's this Logan? You don't seem to like him."

As if he didn't hear her question, Horace kept walking.

At this moment, Ashlee had returned to the auction hall. Darren and she were sitting a few rows in front

of Clara and Horace.

On the left of Clara sat Horace, and on the right, Alastair. With the two handsome men beside her,

many women stared at the three of them and were jealous of Clara.

Logan had returned to the auction hall and took a seat left in front of them.

When he saw Clara and Horace, he greeted Clara politely and Clara smiled and nodded at him.

The lights were turned on, after a stage show, the auction began.

However, it was not until after the host made a long speech about the charity course and welcomed the

celebrities in the business world here today for about half an hour that the auction officially started.

The first item for auction was Logan's donation.

It was a pen.

After hearing the host's introduction of Logan, Clara found that he was the eldest son of the Hutchinson

family. So he was Laura's older brother?

She could finally understand why Logan missed Laura so much now.

The host then introduced the pen, "Everyone, please looked at the pen and the diamond on it. The

diamond is very exquisite and valuable in terms of craftsmanship. This pen was donated by Mr.

Hutchinson and it was handmade. The pen is an invaluable remembrance for Mr. Hutchinson, for it

belonged to his sister, Miss Laura Hutchinson. The pen has been maintained in good condition, and it

is the one and only."

As soon as they saw the Pen, Horace and Alastair's faces changed.

Horace's face darkened and he frowned.

Laura…

He recalled her in his mind.

This was his gift for Laura when she turned 12, for hoping she could get better in her study and

become the first among the whole grade of students.

Horace remembered that Laura cherished the pen dearly. Back then, when Logan wanted to take a

look at it, she didn't let him.

However, after years, Horace didn't expect that Logan would give the pen out for the charity auction.

Thinking of this, Horace looked even unhappier.

Alastair murmured to himself, "That was a heavy blow."

He knew well about Logan and knew that he was trying to get back at Horace and to make Horace

mad.

Clara, who was sitting next to him, heard his words. She wondered why he said that, so she asked,

"What do you mean?"

Alastair knew that Clara knew about Laura and Horace's past, so he whispered in her ear, "This was

Horace's gift for Laura when she turned 12."

Clara glanced at Horace and found that he didn't look happy. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Oh, so that's what it is.

His ex-girlfriend's belonging was given out for auction, of course he would look nervous and angry.

As Laura's brother, how could he do that to his late sister's belongings? Didn't he know how much the

pen meant to Laura and Horace? Or was he here auctioning the pen on purpose to make Horace

angry?

What exactly was on Horace's mind right now?

At this moment, the host said, "Mr. Hutchinson, Would you like to come onto the stage and say a few

words?"

Seeing that Logan stood up and walked over, the host smiled and said, "Everyone, let's welcome Mr.

Logan Hutchinson!"

Seeing Logan holding the microphone in grace, the women of the stage all exclaimed by his handsome

appearance.

On the stage, Logan cast a glance at Horace before he said, "I am here donating my sister's pen today

to get bless for her happiness in heaven, and at the same time, I want to help the poor. I think that if my

sister was still here today, she would also be in favor of this."

The crowd applauded for him.

It was not until he sat back on his seat that the host said, "Okay, everyone, the auction starts now! The

staring price is 10,000 dollars. You are free to make your bids now."

The pen was exquisitely-made and well-maintained. Under the spotlight, it gleamed. It was indeed a

beautiful pen. The tip of the pen was made by gold, making it easy to write and hard to be damaged. It

was indeed the perfect pen for signing on contracts and looking good.

Everyone started to make their bids.

"One hundred grand!"

"One hundred and fifty grand!"

"Two hundred grand!"

Everyone seemed excited about getting the pen. After all, the pen was the first item for sale at the

auction and everyone wanted to get it as a lucky start.

Horace clinched his fists, which were sweating. He had been trying to suppress his anxiety. However,

upon seeing that everyone seemed excited about the pen, he couldn't help it anymore. He must get the

pen back!

The pen could only belong to him. He couldn't sit here and watch it being sold to some stranger. He

knew that if Laura was still alive, she wouldn't want to give it away. She loved the pen he had given to

her.

Alastair and Clara turned their heads to look at Horace, wondering if he would make a bid.

Clara had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she didn't want Horace to bid on the pen. On the other

hand, she didn't want to know him as a heartless man.

What would he do about the pen? He had been cherishing that crystal necklace for years, Clara simply

took it out and looked at it and he got furious. How could he just sit here and watch the pen being sold

to a stranger?

At this moment, Horace kept thinking about Laura in his mind.

He thought about how she smiled at him and called him, "Horace, look at my pen! I love it! You give it

to me, remember?"

Everyone was making their bids and the price soared.

"One million!" All of a sudden, Horace made his bid.

Everyone exclaimed. It was the highest offer so far.

Many people had given up. The price was way higher than the pen's worth.

Eventually, Horace made a bid. He wanted the pen because it belonged to Laura. As expected, he

couldn't forget her.

Clara was stunned and did know what she was feeling.
