Chapter 6
Sarah pondered. Even though I was humiliated in front of Northville’s elite, as long as I have Dylan by my side, who in Northville would dare to ridicule me?”
Dylan turned slightly and cast a cold, indifferent glance at Sarah. His deep, dark eyes were icy and distant. “Richard, throw them out,” he ordered.
Upon hearing Dylan’s command, Richard stepped forward to escort them out. Sarah trembled, staring at Dylan in disbelief, while William and Rebecca’s faces turned sour.
“Wasn’t Mr. Clifford supposed to be engaged to Sarah? It doesn’t look like it,” someone. in the crowd murmured, their probing stares leaving Sarah feeling exposed and humiliated.
Sarah had basked in the admiration of everyone before Audrey arrived, but now everything had changed. Sarah seethed with a desire to exact revenge on Audrey for ruining her life.
Dylan leaned over to whisper something to Richard before entering Silvandel Auction House with Andrew and the rest of the group.
That night, a video of Sarah, Northville’s top socialite and a popular star, kneeling and bowing went viral. The footage also captured the moment when the Hernandez trio were forcibly removed from Silvandel Auction House.
Within half an hour, another video surfaced, showing them being pelted with rotten eggs and garbage on their way home. Sarah and her family had never experienced such disgrace and humiliation.
“Dylan, what did you ask Richard to do?” Cade couldn’t resist asking once they were inside their private room.
“What else? He’s taking care of some business for someone,” Shawn chuckled, glancing at Dylan.
“Audrey already has a son. Shouldn’t you just move on? Are you really planning to raise someone else’s kid?” Cade looked at Dylan, unable to hold back.
“That’s cool. Instant fatherhood, isn’t it great? Shawn added with a laugh.
Dylan’s eyes narrowed, his gaze turning cold, “Richard, take these two for some sparring practice.”

Richard stepped forward at Dylan’s command. Cade and Shawn’s faces paled.
“Dylan, we were wrong! I have an interview with a boxer tomorrow. Please don’t let Richard hit me,” Cade pleaded, covering his face. The prospect of sparring with Richard meant a month in bed.
Shawn quickly backed away, keeping his mouth shut.
The auction officially began at seven o’clock in the evening. Audrey focused solely on the Bamboo Reishi, ignoring everything else. Meanwhile, Brian attentively observed each item but didn’t find anything to his liking.
When the final item, the Bamboo Reishi, was brought on stage with a starting price of 200 thousand dollars, Audrey didn’t hesitate. One million dollars!”
If the owner hadn’t refused private sales, Audrey would have already bought it. This was a life–saving item for Brian, and she had to get it.
Few recognized the value of the Bamboo Reishi, so there wasn’t much competition. The bidding quickly escalated to two million dollars when a deep, cold voice from a second- floor room called out, “Four million dollars!”
Recognizing Dylan’s voice, most people stopped bidding.
“Ten million dollars!” Audrey’s eyes narrowed as she icily placed her bid.
*40 million dollars!” Audrey’s voice echoed through the auction house. In the private room, Cade and the others were shocked.
‘Seven years ago, Dylan himself sent Audrey to prison and she was disowned by her family. How does she have this much money now? Could someone be sponsoring her?” they thought, sending shivers down their spines. ‘If this is true, Dylan would lose it.”
