Violet's mind wandered, and she saw that the host had already struck the hammer.
"Okay, $10 million for the third time! The ring, in the end, still goes to Mrs. Bergen of Dewgrove City for her small contribution to the children of the mountains."
The host's impassioned voice rang out and the audience applauded.
Violet subconsciously turned around and looked towards the bidders.
It was a middle-aged noblewoman dressed in a graceful and elegant manner.
She rose and nodded slightly to the crowd, then took her seat.
Beside her sat David, who arrived at some point.
Violet suddenly remembered that David was the Bergen family of Dewgrove City.
David's father was second in line at home, so the noblewoman in front of him should be David's Auntie.
Violet pursed her red lips as she watched David and the noblewoman exchange words, her heart ebbing and flowing.
If the relic that her mother left for herself is the object of her engagement with her father, then could her own real father be related to David's Auntie?
After all, it was Mrs. Bergen who offered the ring that was just up for bidding!
Once the thought came to her, Violet sat back a bit.
She wanted to know who her father was.
Want to know why he abandoned his mother?
Does he know that she still exists as his daughter?
Finally, the auction, which lasted for three hours, came to a successful end.
After congratulating Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood, Violet got up and left the auction room to look for David and his Auntie.
After the auction was the reception, and the guests poured into the ballroom.
Violet looked around and soon found David and her Auntie.
"David."
Violet carried her skirt and ran quickly.
David laughed and said, "Helena, you look beautiful today."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Violet smiled, her eyes fell on the noblewoman and gave a slight nod towards her.
"Hello Mrs. Bergen."
