Chapter 174
“Do you think it suits me?”
Barclay looked at Moira and frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
Moira was in a daze. “It’s not proper for me to wear it…”
How could she dare to wear a necklace worth more than 80 million dollars casually?
“You wore it tonight and looked good.”
Moira was embarrassed. “It’s indeed good–looking, yet it’s different as tonight’s banquet is grand. Besides…”
She paused for a second and then continued. “It is too valuable.”
Barclay did not care at all. “The value of jewelry is bestowed by people. No matter how valuable it is, it’s only for people to wear. It suits you, and it can also show its value when it’s with you.”
“No, Mr. Covington. It’s too expensive. I…”
Barclay immediately let go of the necklace. “If you don’t want it, then throw it away. I don’t care about that bit of money.”
Sure enough, there were huge gaps among different people in the world.
Even 80 million dollars couldn’t arouse Barclay’s interest. Moira looked at his back and then at the necklace in her hand. She felt that she was like a gold–digging woman who only knew how to hook up with rich men.
Barclay had returned to his room. Moira had no choice but to close the door and walk back to hers.
Holding a necklace worth more than 80 million dollars alone was enough to make her anxious. She rummaged through the cabinets and found a jewelry box to store it.
After Moira put away the necklace, she took her phone and sent a message to Juliet: [Juliet, Barclay just sent “Ethereal” to me.]
Juliet: [What? Didn’t you say that he just allowed you to put it on for a while?]
Moira couldn’t figure out why, either. [He just came with the necklace and gave it to me…]
Juliet: [I suspect that you’re showing off!]
Moira: [No. I’m not lying to you. I didn’t expect Barclay to give it to me at all! An 80–million–dollar necklace is nothing more than a hot potato for me! I’m thinking about how I should deal with it!]
Juliet was reliable at a critical moment. She replied: [It’s indeed a hot potato, but if Mr. Covington insisted on giving it to you, you could only accept it for the time being.]
Moira thought so too. [That’s the only way.]
Because of Barclay’s sudden gift, Moira was no longer in the mood to surf the Internet. After chatting with Juliet for a while, she planned to
sleep.

Chapter 174
She did not take an afternoon nap today. And she was “tortured” for so long in the afternoon and forced to save Cynthia who had fallen into the swimming pool.
She was exhausted, and she fell asleep not long after she lay on the bed.
Moira did not sleep well. Not long after she fell asleep, she got up and went to the bathroom. At midnight, she was woken up by thirst and
went downstairs to drink water.
There were sensory night lights on the stairs. She held onto the handrail and went to the first floor in a daze, pouring a cup of water and drinking most of it.
After that, she turned around and returned upstairs. She was so sleepy that she almost could not open her eyes. When she saw the light shining out the gap under the door, she walked over without thinking.
Barclay had just entered the room from the balcony. He saw Moira, who was wearing starry pajamas, stumbling in with her eyes narrowed.
He stopped in his tracks and watched as she fumbled her way toward the large bed.
Moira felt that her room had become much bigger. She walked for a while before touching the bed.
When she touched the soft bed, she lay down directly. A faint fragrance of perfume hit her nose, but she was only puzzled for a second before
she fell asleep.
Barclay looked at Moira who was sleeping on the side of the bed, and a smile gradually appeared in his deep eyes. He walked to the big bed and slept on the other side of the bed.
He said inwardly, ‘You walked right into the trap, you stupid bunny.‘
