Justin’s face darkened. His thin lips were pursed as he thought, ‘If Anna was willing to pay $9 million for


    this painting, $10 million isn’t a problem either. Anna suddenly held back, not because she couldn’t pay,


    but because she simply gave up. She did this on purpose!’


    However, Justin could not say anything about it. After all, no one forced Rosalind to follow Anna’s bid to


    take this painting. Rosalind did this willingly.


    Be remained calm and did not bid for the other auction items.


    Justin only wanted to bid for the antique rosewood chair, so he kept silent.


    The next item was a pair of jadeite stones donated by Shannon on behalf of the Salvador Corporation.


    The base price was $2 million.


    Be snorted lightly and shook her head in disdain.


    She would rather spend money on the replica earlier than buy these two stupid stones. Only fools


    would buy these.


    Sure enough, there were very few bidders. The auctioneer tried his best to raise the price, but in the


    end, it sold for only $2.6 million.


    The smile on Shannon’s face faded.


    Justin looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.


    That was because no matter what Shannon did, she would only embarrass Gregory. Justin did not


    have a good rtionship with his father either.


    “The next itemes from KS Group and was donated by Ms. M Larson. It’s a pair of azure


    porcin teacups from the 18th century!”


    Every collector in the audience was instantly aroused.


    Be was shocked. She quickly turned around and scanned the crowd behind her.


    Finally, she spotted M’s graceful figure in the back row.


    Be nervously sent a message to Steven. [Why is Aunt M here? Why didn’t you tell me she was


    coming?!]


    Steven replied. [Ms. Be, I just found out too! Maybe the Chairman sent Madam M here at thest


    minute as a contingency.]


    Be panicked and thought, ‘Damn it! Wyatt never ys by the rules!’


    Almost everyone from the Salvador family was present at the auction, so Be was afraid that she


    would not be able to hide her identity as the heiress of KS Group with M around.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    At this moment, Be noticed that M was subtly gesturing an “okay” sign to her and winking at


    her, like a secret message between best friends.


    Be felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately understood what M meant.


    She thought, ‘Oh, Aunt M, you’re always so wise!’


    Everyone was ready to make a bid for the porcin teacups.


    “This porcin is extremely rare, but Madam M still donated a pair! The Thompson family is really


    generous, as expected of arge conglomerate.’


    “The Salvador Corporation is arge conglomerate too, but look what they donated. Those two rocks


    are probably not as valuable as the stone sculptures in my garden.”


    “Mr. Salvador certainly has questionable taste in a wife.”


    Shannon’s face turned red with embarrassment. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.


    The auction item Shannon brought was at a different level from M’s donation. The strong contrast


    made Shannon look so stingy and petty.


    This was the first time in the auction that Justin showed an interest in an auction item. He spun the


    paddle in his hand while deep in thought.


    Be murmured, “That’s top-quality cdon, the color of rain.”


    When Justin heard Anna’s murmur, he could not help but turn to look at her in surprise.


    Anna was focused on the antique teacup. Her fair and delicate skin was like fine porcin. Her elegant


    brows were rxed, and she looked so beautiful under the light that Justin forgot to breathe. Anna was


    actually a gorgeous woman, but Justin had never truly appreciated her beauty.
