Chương 80: 80 I Knew It Was You

The auction reached its climax. The host showed a ruby ring weighing 20 carats. It starts at $2 million. Daley, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his card to bid, and I looked at him in bewilderment. But instead of giving me any explanation, he just focused on the bidding.

Daley bought the ring for $4.5 million. This is the highest bid in the auction tonight. All eyes were on him at once. When the staff came to Daley with the box containing the ring, Daley put the ring on my finger and the Ruby glowed like blood in the light.

Daley smiled at me and said, "This is for you."

I was so surprised that he kissed me on the cheek. Around me came the envious chatter of the guests. But he didn't care.

When this heavy ring is on my hand, I feel it's like a shackle on me. Does this mean I'll never be free of the hunter?
