Alaric went up to the stage and took the sapphire in front of everyone .
Then , everyone watched as Alaric walked over to Dominic and Cecilia Dominic frowned slightly .
He thought Alaric was coming to gloat .
But to his surprise , Alaric handed the sapphire directly to Cecilia , This is for you .

Cecilia took it without hesitation .
Dominic looked at Cecilia in disbelief .
Cecilia said , Since Mr.
Whitaker insists , I cant refuse his kindness .
Alaric smiled and said to Dominic , Since she likes it , buy it for her .
Dominics face turned completely dark .
Im outta here , Alaric said to Dominic .
She watched his back as he walked away , pondering , Is that how he chases women? When did Alaric become so c so charming ! Seraphina , who was always a bit outspoken , couldnt help but say .
After she said it , Dominies face looked even worse .
1/4 Chapter 8 Im in Love Cecilia , however , smiled subily Dominic always prided himself on being different from other wealthy heirs , holding a sonte of superiority and often looking down on others .
The outside world also held Dominic in high regard , labeling him a chce in a millennium talent in the Yakurosean Empire , with family background , education , and abilities so perfect that it made ople wonder if God played favorites , Later , Cecilia discovered that these evaluations were deliberately created by the Kingsley family for Dominic , and Dominic took them all seriously .
He really thought he was superior .
Given todays situation , Dominic was definitely upset .
Seraphina seemed to realize she shouldnt have said that .
She stuck out her tongue , Cecilia , its getting late .
Ill head back .
Cecilia nodded , Be careful on your way home .
Seraphina lett .
The charity banquet also ended , and everyone gradually left .
Dominic hid his displeasure and offered to t take Cecilia home .
The car was very quiet ; neither spoke .
Dominics mind raced with thoughts of how the media would describe him tomorrow .
Each scenario fueled his anger fu looked over at Cecilia , his tone harsh .
How could you accept his gift further .
He Cecilia said , My moms birthday is coming up .
She really She really likes this sapphire , and I plan to give it to her .
Even so ..
I originally wanted to bid for it myself , Cecilia interrupted him , but you stopped me .
Dominic was suddenly rendered speechless by Cecilias retort .
he had thought Cecilia wanted him to pay for it .
Clearly , he had thought Cecilia said calmly , I told my dad before coming to the banquet that wanted to bid for this sapphire to give my mom a surprise .
He agreed and didnt set a limit .
Dominic felt a bit bit embarrassed .
I was just worried that Alaric , that spendthrift , would take advantage of you , so I stopped you .
Cecilia didnt exa expose his lie .
She said , Since Alaric doesnt care about it , theres nothing wrong with me accepting it .
Something he gave … never used to insult others .
Whats changed ? Cecilia asked innocently.
Dominic , you never Dominic was slightly stunned .
2/4 Chapter 8 Im in Love Youve been calling Alaric a spendthrift all night , and it makes you seem like a stranger to me .
I thought you couldnt say such things , Cecilia said , looking disappointed .
I say Domiale quickly explained , He was deliberately targeting me tonight .
I got a bit angry .
I l again Cecilia nodded .
Dominic had been seething with anger , but a few words from Cecilia ad forced him to hold it back Cecilia sneered secretly Dominic dropped Cecilia off at Lockhart Mansion .
As Cecilia got out of the car and walked to the door .
Ms.
Lockhart ! That sudden voice startled Cecilia again .
She angrily looked at the man leaning against the wall with his arms crossed .
Are you always so elusive ? Cecilia said irritably .
Isnt that how affairs work ? Whos having an affair with you ! Cecilia felt she couldnt have a normal conversation with him ! Ms.
Lockhart , I thought when you asked me to crash the wedding , it meant you were re after my body .
She really wanted to knock him out .
not the reason , then give me back the card ! Alaric changed the subject .
If thats not Cecilia took a deep breath , trying to stay calm .
She said , Wait here for a moment .
Alaric nodded slightly .
Cecilia went inside , got the c card , and handed it back to Alaric .
Alaric took the card and was about to leave .
Cecilia stopped him , Ill transfer the money for the sapphire to you later .
No need , Alaric said , That amount is insignificant to me .
If he didnt need money , why was he chasing her for the card ! Good night , Ms.
Lockhart , Alarie got into his flashy red sports car and drove off .
For some reason , it felt like Alaric was completely different from how he appeared .
Alaric was a man of hidden depths ed what he was thinking .
As he drove , he looked at the card between his fingers .
His face never revealed His eyes flickered as he answered a call .
