Seraphina smiled dismissively but was reluctant to talk much. She said, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m helping Sarah.” 

“No wonder she said you’d definitely help. You two must be good friends.” 

“Very good.” She didn’t want to elaborate. 

Bruce sensed her lack of interest and didn’t push further. They arrived early at the venue for the charity gala. Seraphina went to change into her dress while Bruce waited outside. 

This private charity gala wasn’t just for celebrities; it was a gathering of many notable figures. As soon as Seraphina entered with Bruce, she spotted Theresa and Hannah surrounded by people. 

Raising an eyebrow. She figured if they were here, Orion probably was too. 

They just wouldn’t go away! 

The highlight of the event was the charity auction. Seraphina had no intention of participating, but Bruce was quite enthusiastic. He bid on almost every item but won none. 

Curious, she leaned in and whispered, “Did they hire you to drive 

up the prices?” 

Otherwise, why did Bruce just raised the bid without winning anything? 

Bruce pursed his lips and smirked mysteriously. He revealed, “Sarah told me to increase the opportunity for people to see me, and she said this would get me noticed.” 

Seraphina was speechless. 

She shifted her gaze, and soon it was time for the final item. An image of an emerald–adorned smoking pipe appeared on the large screen. It was an antique piece, and the emerald looked bright with a lustrous green hue. 

Seraphina squinted because she thought it was familiar. She had seen it in the chapel at the Dros Estate. She was shocked as she realised it was Ramona’s treasured possession. 

This heirloom had been passed down from generation to generation. He never allowed anyone a close look, yet here it was up for auction. 

Her mind raced. She scanned the room but didn’t see Orion. However, she noticed Theresa and Hannah exchanging smug glances, basking in the attention. 

Realisation dawned on her, and a deeper smile formed on her face. This was a scam for a scam. 

Few people here would recognise its true value, likely thinking it was just an ordinary pipe. 

Steal it, auction it, and buy it back. They’d gain both money and reputation. 

“Truly deserve to be someone from an affluent family. I was truly a privilege that he was willing to donate such a precious item. Alright, the bidding starts at 450,000. 

450 thousand? 

shina chuckled. Ramona’s beloved pipe worth only 450 thousand?

Theresa raised her paddle and said. “450 thousand once… 

“600 thousand once…”

Seraphina lowered her gaze and stopped hesitating. She then decisively raised her paddle to place a bid. He declared, 1.5 million-
