Chapter 23 Everyone Loves Pretty Things
The staff at the auction moved quickly. During a short break, they brought the bracelet to Yvonne and stood there, waiting for her to write them a check.
Before the auction, every attendee had to declare their respective companies. So if they backed out after winning a bid, the auction’s organizer would sue their company.
Yvonne signed the check with a trembling hand.
A few rows behind her, Timothy looked amused. “Today is my lucky day. How rare to encounter a rich fool.”
The bracelet was only worth 300 thousand dollars at most.
He had been scammed by the jeweler and bought it for 500 thousand dollars as a gift for his mother. But she hadn’t liked it, so she made him sell it at the auction.
Then again…
His gaze landed on Grace, who had bid on the bracelet as well. She was beautiful. He knew how to appreciate good looks.
Especially since she was also interesting.
Timothy’s curiosity was piqued.
“She looks familiar. Who’s she?” he asked the president of HB Group, who was sitting beside
him.
“I think her name is Grace Lewis.”
“Grace Lewis?” Timothy repeated. He thought of the acne–ridden girl from the Lewis family
and shuddered.
It couldn’t be.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked over at Grace again. “They can’t be the same person. They just ‘have the same name.”
The next item was brought on stage.
“An antique pocket watch from Epigny. The bid starts at five million dollars!”
It was the item that Aaron had instructed Grace to get. Grace raised her paddle. “Six million dollars!”
“6.5 million dollars!”
