Chapter 38
On the weekend, Medo Auction Center.
Many reporters gathered outside the venue. In order to protect the privacy of the rich and powerful, they could only wait outside.
However, the people who came here were all real top collectors and investors. The world was bustling with noise and excitement. They were not celebrities who needed exposure. Everyone had no interest in interviews and only wanted treasures.
Besides the Belll sisters and Grace.
Every year at this time, Aubree would dress up and attend, making a high–end charity auction like a third–rate star walking the red carpet. She blocked the entrance and allowed the media to take photos of her. Under the persuasion of the staff, she left with a face full of resentment.
It seemed that she was afraid that everyone would forget that she was the ex–actress who used to destroy other families more than 20 years ago, causing Jake to not personally come to participate in it for two years. It was probably because she felt that it was degrading.
However, this year, Aubree did not play the same trick again. After all, Willow repeatedly asked her to leave the opportunity to show up to the mother and daughter last night. They were relatives. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to give face.
So this year, those standing at the door were replaced by Ms Bell and her daughter.
“This time, we, Brown Group, are attending the auction. We hope to be able to get an excellent collection and do our best for charity.” In front of the reporters, Willow displayed the temperament of a top lady and spoke generously.
“Madam Brown, how is Brown Group’s financial situation recently? I heard that you are already on the verge of bankruptcy?” The reporter asked sharply.
“Has Young Master Brown’s investigation ended? Will he be sentenced?” “I heard that your daughter and President Sawle Group had an emotional change. Is that true?”
Emotional change?
Grace heard this sentence clearly and suddenly stepped forward with a

mop skirt. She stared at the reporter with her round eyes, which made his scalp numb.
“What change? Where did you hear it from?”
“This… Miss Brown, you don’t have to be so nervous. We are just asking.”
“After all, Brown Group was in trouble. As your fiancé, Mr. Sawle hasn’t helped you and hasn’t expressed his feelings yet. It is understandable for the outside world to trigger this speculation.”
“Brother Joseph and I haven’t broken up! You are not allowed to talk nonsense!”
When Grace thought about how Joseph had not taken the initiative to contact her for the past few days, she immediately became anxious and her voice rose by 80.
Willow pulled her daughter, who could not keep her cool, behind her and smiled at the camera. “My daughter and Mr. Sawle’s relationship has always been stable. Please do not think too much about it. As for the business secrets between Brown Group and Sawle Group, we are not too
sure.”
“Today, Mr. Sawle also attended this occasion. Why didn’t he show up together with Miss Brown?”
“The two of you have never showed up together in public, right? Is it to avoid suspicion?”
“What are they avoiding? If Mr. Sawle came, how could he not get along with my daughter…”
“But many of us saw that Mr. Sawle had already entered half an hour earlier.” A reporter suddenly said.
Mrs. Brown and her daughter were caught off guard, and their faces turned green.
On the other side, Joseph had already entered the hall with Max.
“Joseph!”
Vincent hurriedly walked over. His pair of slanted eyes narrowed as he directly came up and intimately hugged Joseph’s waist.
“Tsk, not bad. It’s quite sturdy.”
Young Master Anderson even pinched the man’s narrow waist.
“Your hand, behave yourself.” Joseph frowned slightly and did not move,

but gave him a cold glance.
“Pfft, pretending to be serious. Where did you pinch me when I was a child?”
“Hey, your fiancée and your future mother–in–law are here. Why don’t you go over and say hello?” Vincent stopped touching his waist.
“To avoid suspicion.”
“It’s okay. It seems that you are still saved. This time, you don’t follow Miss Brown. You should know that Brown Group is really notorious in the industry now. Whoever touches her will get into trouble.”
“Who is saved?”
“Don’t think that I won’t dare to do anything to you just because this is your Anderson Group’s territory, Vincent.” Joseph’s face darkened.
Everyone in the upper–class circle knew that the Anderson Group was the behind–the–scenes boss of Medo Auction Center.
“Brother, I’m doing this for your own good. I really don’t want to see your reputation be ruined by that useless Brown Group.”
Vincent chuckled, “My grandfather originally did not want Brown Group’s people to come to the charity banquet, but he was afraid that he would embarrass you, so he let them go.”
“One has to know that with Brown family’s level, they are not worthy of being here.”
“Right now, she is not worthy, but Grace will marry me sooner or later. At that time, I hope you can change your opinion of her.”
“After all, Brown family is Brown family, and she is her.” Joseph’s eyes were obscure.
“I understand. I still have to respect your wife–to–be. But Joseph, I think you don’t like to hear me say this.”
“Then don’t say it.”
“In terms of appearance and character, I still think that the former sister–in–law’s sonorous and wild character is more suitable for you.” Vincent’s mouth was too fast, so he still said it.
Max covered his mouth hard.
“There is no future between her and me. Furthermore, I will never do such a thing.” Joseph said coldly.
Vincent shrugged. He was too lazy to point it out and changed the topic.
“Is there anything you want for today’s auction?”
“Yes, it is.”
He was prepared to bid for it and give it to his grandfather for a birthday present.
“You have good taste! I can help you pull the strings. If someone wants to snatch it from you, I will think of a way to persuade him to give up.”
“No need.”
Joseph shook his head lightly, “Charity auctions are mainly based on the word ‘charity‘. If the treasure is fated with me, it will naturally be in my hands. If it is not fated, it will lose the fun of the auction.”
The two of them entered the venue and walked straight to the first row. This row was the VIP of the VIP. Only the real noble or elite people were qualified to sit here.
As Vincent and Joseph, two handsome and tall figures, entered the venue, a small wave of excitement swept through the crowd.
The young socialites‘ faces turned red instantly.
“Mr. Sawle is too handsome. Isn’t this the ideal man on earth?”
“Ideal? I think you should stop thinking about it. Mr. Sawle is going to marry Brown family’s daughter. Don’t you know?”
“What? It’s the Brown family who sells poor quality products? Oh my god, that small family doesn’t even deserve to carry shoes for our family. Mr. Sawle is blind!”
“Grace and Mr. Sawle are childhood sweethearts. Mr. Sawle divorced his ex–wife because of that woman. How strong can you be to snatch him away from Grace?”
“Tsk tsk… What a pitiful ex–wife! Look at Grace’s fake appearance. I bet that Mr. Sawle will hate her in less than two years!”
Joseph sat down gracefully, his whole body exuding a strong aura of not allowing strangers to enter.
He inadvertently glanced sideways and saw that in each aisle, there was a chair marked with the name “Oscar” in front of his eyes.
The man’s thin lips were closed, and there was a cold crease between his eyebrows.
“Aiya, Joseph, I really can’t do anything about this. The seats in the first row were reserved by my grandfather in advance. I don’t dare to move

around.”
Vincent saw through his thoughts and whispered into his ear, “This seat is the most testing of the ways of the world. Even your stepmother and your two silly sisters have been arranged by me to the back. Just tell me how precious these chairs are.”
