Their eyes met each other's from across the room.
Declan wore a mask, making it impossible to read his expression. Yet, even through the disguise, his gaze was as cold and distant as ever—looking at Hailey as though she were a complete stranger.
The host laughed and said, "Ladies, please, let's keep your excitement in check. Here's how it works—only one of you will have the privilege of touching our handsome centerpiece. Who will it be? That's for you to decide. Place your bids. The highest offer wins."
Immediately, the wealthy women around her started bidding.
"Ten thousand dollars."
"30 thousand dollars."
"50 thousand dollars."
"100 thousand dollars."
The price skyrocketed to one hundred thousand in no time, leaving Robin in disbelief. "100 thousand dolalrs just to touch him? Is this guy made of gold or something? Has everyone completely lost it?"
At that moment, Hailey raised her hand. "I bid 200 thousand dollars!"
With that, she instantly drove the price up.
Celine and Robin both turned to Hailey, with Robin giving her a subtle tug. "Hailey, why are you joining in on this madness?"
Hailey's almond-shaped eyes stayed locked on Declan on the stage. "I'll bid 200 thousand dollars. I want to touch him."
Declan looked down at Hailey, sensing the boldness in her voice.
With her 200-thousand-dollar bid, she effortlessly surpassed the other wealthy women, all for the chance to touch him.
While observing Declan, Celine quickly pieced things together. The only person who could make Hailey act like this was undoubtedly him.
A brief silence swept through the room before the bidding continued.
"I'll bid 500 thousand dollars!"
"I'll bid one million dollars!"
Hailey was taken aback.
She hadn't brought that much cash with her today. Without a second thought, she grabbed Celine's arm. "Celine, please lend me some money! I'll pay you back as soon as we get home."

We getting somewhere with revelations...
Pls upload more chapters coz it’s not enough to be honest. But I’m thankful for the 4 chapters. Thanks! And author please let Celine have her justice and let those people who wronged her be punished. Pls, I am so invested in this and it’s so exhausting to read about Celine’s being bullied and hurt over and over again. Let Celine shine pls!!!🙏...
I knew it! Lucy poisoned them. But, It’s about time that the truth will prevail. Hope Adam would listen. I just hope that Carly and Lucy won't get a chance to interfere and stop Adam from finding out the truth! It’s time that Celine will get her justice and get back everything that’s belong to her especially her Identity. Whether Adam believes Celine, it’s up to him. But he’s a moron lol. I hate him from being so blind!...
I dont understand, why lucy hates celine so much? She is her daughter, biological daughter... Why she scemed against celine, as if she is her mortal enemy.....
Hopefully the truth comes out soon....
That’s just great! Let me guess, the truth won’t be revealed because Lucy and Carly poison those kidnappers and the doctors lol. In the end Adam will take Carly sides again lol! Same old same old....
