Raelynn pressed her lips into a tight, hard line.
She had guessed right.
They really were going to sell off her family's legacy.
Using her family's treasures to buy back Seraphina's ruined reputation, ensuring her career wouldn't be completely destroyed by that medical malpractice disaster!
"What gives them the right to auction your family's antiques to make her look like a saint?! Those belong to you—your mother and grandfather left them to you!" Chloe was practically seeing red, ready to march over and tear the whole event down.
And the Vances had deliberately invited Raelynn just so she would be forced to watch it happen!
How sickeningly malicious could they get?
And fifteen pieces... That would easily rack up millions of dollars in sales.
They clearly felt no remorse treating someone else's heritage like disposable poker chips, did they?
"Going after Seraphina won't change anything," Raelynn said, her voice surprisingly level. Her mind was already racing as she gripped Chloe's wrist, her fingers freezing cold.
She locked her gaze on Sebastian, who stood tall right beside the other woman.
He was the one orchestrating this entire spectacle.
The shop was in his name right now; his word was absolute law.
Chloe followed her line of sight.
A sudden, suffocating wave of sympathy for her friend washed over her.
Married for years, and not only was there zero affection left between them, but he was actively helping his wife's worst enemy twist the knife. Marriages this toxic were truly a rare breed.
Raelynn quietly coaxed Chloe into calming down.
She knew her friend cared enough to legitimately cause a scene and wreck the venue.
But a public outburst would only give them ammunition to use against her.
As the room continued to fill with elite guests,
the auction was fast approaching.
Raelynn bided her time, waiting for the perfect moment to approach Sebastian.
He had been busy working the room, but halfway through the event, he slipped away to discuss business in private. The more valuable pieces were kept on the third floor, which had secluded viewing partitions.
Raelynn seized her chance.
Marching up to him, she grabbed him by the wrist and yanked him behind the tapestry.
Sebastian allowed himself to be pulled into the alcove.
