Chapter 517 The Favorite Daughter
Madeline awkwardly smiled in response to that. “We should probably catch up for a bit, Miss Yard. Let’s have a drink, perhaps.”
“Sure.” As Madeline and Selena walked away, Jane only glared at Selena with jealousy for stealing her limelight, swearing to have her revenge on her one day.
“Jane is the youngest daughter who got all the attention in the Oberlin Family. Furthermore, she was born with a silver spoon, so I understand her hubris can be a little difficult to deal with sometimes. Please forgive her, Miss Yard.” Madeline quickly explained in Jane’s defense.
“It’s alright. I’m not surprised by that, considering her wealthy background. Moreover, she is a descendant of an aristocratic family, so I wouldn’t call that hubris but perhaps confidence instead.”
As both women exchanged gazes, they clinked glasses and continued to chat. Then, it suddenly occurred to Selena that Madeline should be able to tell her more about Yucarians since the latter had gotten married and since resided in Yucaria. I heard her husband was allegedly a playboy. Thus, she must have something up her sleeve to stand out among all other women in order to win his heart.
“Madeline, I attended an auction two days ago and stumbled upon a bracelet that caught my eye, but unfortunately, someone beat us to it and won the bid. Do you, by any chance, know who the bidder was?”
“Auction? Do you mean Ace Auction?”
“Yes, exactly! That’s the auction I attended!” Selena spoke excitedly.
Madeline furrowed her eyebrows and said, “I know that auction, and I also know some of those people who attended. Besides, I remember the bracelet you just mentioned…”
Upon hearing Madeline’s words, Selena’s heart rose and pounded like a jackhammer. Please! Please tell me you know something about the bracelet, Madeline!
