Ian covered his mouth so hard that he almost suffocated to keep himself fromughing.


    Justin felt a surge of anger in his chest. He said indifferently, “There is no way that Anna and I will


    have a future together. I will also never be so shameless as to take back the divorce.”


    Ryan shrugged and did not bother to expose him, so he changed the topic.


    “Is there anything you want from today’s auction?”


    “Yes, the antique rosewood chair.”


    Justin nned to give it to his grandfather as a birthday gift.


    “You’ve got nice taste! Alright, I’ll find a way to dissuade anyone else from bidding for this item.”


    “No need.”


    Justin shook his head lightly and said, “This is a charity auction. If this chair is destined to be mine, no


    one will be able to take it from me. If I take it by force, it won’t be any fun.”


    The two men entered the venue and walked straight to the first row.


    This row was reserved for the VVIPS. Only the truly wealthy elites and aristocrats were qualified to sit


    here.


    Ryan and Justin were tall and handsome. They quickly attracted everyone’s attention when they


    entered the room.


    The elitedies blushed shyly.


    “Mr. Salvador is so handsome! He’spletely my ideal type!”


    “Your ideal type? You should stop thinking about him as soon as possible. Don’t you know that Mr.


    Salvador is going to marry Ms. Gold?”


    “What?! The Gold family that sells low-quality furniture? OMG! That family doesn’t even deserve to


    touch Mr. Salvador’s shoes! Is that man blind?”


    “Rosalind Gold is Mr. Salvador’s childhood sweetheart. He divorced his ex-wife just to marry that


    woman. Do you still think that you’re so capable as to snatch him away from Rosalind?”


    “Tsk, tsk… What a pitiful ex-wife! Look at that bitch’s pretentious attitude. I bet Mr. Salvador will be


    disgusted with her within two years!”


    Justin sat elegantly and exuded a chill that kept strangers away.


    He inadvertently nced sideways and saw that there was a chairbeled “Asher Thompson” just


    across the aisle from him.


    Justin pressed his thin lips together and frowned.


    “Justin, I really can’t help it. My grandfather marked the first row seats well in advance, so I didn’t dare


    rearrange them.”


    Ryan saw through Justin’s thoughts and continued whispering in his ear, “These seats are about who’s


    the top crop in Savrow. Even your stepmother and your two silly sisters are seated in the back. Talk


    about how expensive this row is! Asher Thompson is Wyatt Thompson’s eldest son and the president


    of KS Group. The Hoffman family can’t possibly take sides between you two behemoths. So, you just


    have to bear with it.”


    In the lobby outside the venue, Shannon and Jean were socializing with several elitedies. Bethany


    and Rosalind were also holding hands, faking their closeness. Meanwhile, Carrie, Shannon’s youngest


    daughter, was nowhere to be found.


    “Where’s Carrie? Is she missing?” Rosalind asked.


    “It doesn’t matter what she’s up to, as long as she doesn’t die.” Bethany got angry at the mention of her


    biological sister.


    Bethany felt that Carrie was cowardly and a disgrace to the Salvador family.


    “Oh, don’t say that. Carrie is your biological sister. You should love her more.” Rosalind pretended to be


    kind as she persuaded Bethany.


    “I wish I never had such an embarrassing sister.”


    Bethany became angrier at Rosalind’s persuasion.


    Rosalind secretly snickered in her heart.


    This was the best way to drive a wedge between the two sisters. That was because Rosalind was


    afraid that the two sisters would gang up on her after she married Justin.


    At this time, they heard strong and confident footsteps approaching.


    Shannon, Jean, Rosalind, Bethany, and several elitedies all looked in the direction of the footsteps.


    Be, who was dressed in an elegant ck suit, came into view.


    She paired it with sky-high stilettos. Her beautiful lips were tainted a ming red.


    Be, in her seemingly effortless outfit,pletely outshone Rosalind and Bethany. They had spent


    hours dressing up and were so angry that they clenched their dresses.


    Steven followed Be. He was also dressed up more than usual today, so he looked like Prince


    Charming.


    The duo strode in and wanted to ignore the bunch of showy women in the lobby.


    Unexpectedly, Shannon called out to Be with a smile.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “Oh! I really didn’t expect to see you on such an asion. How surprising! Charity events are really


    inclusive, huh?”


    Shannon implied that a country girl like Anna did not deserve to step foot in such an elegant hall.


    Be suddenly stopped walking. She put one hand in the pocket of her suit pants and looked at


    Shannon with a half-smile.


    “I understand that you’re easily surprised because you haven’t been exposed to much. You ought to


    get out there and educate yourself.”
