    Chapter 999


    Aurora nced at Noah and looked back at Tyler, who was standing next to her. “Tyler, Ms. Shaw sure


    changes boyfriends as quickly as she changes clothes.”


    Tyler remained indifferent and unbothered. “It’s time to go inside.”


    Aurora looked away. “Excuse us, Ms. Shaw.”


    Vicky moved out of the way and as the wind blew past her hair, Aurora and Tyler walked past her.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Noah was utterly baffled with the interaction.


    Back when Vicky mentioned that she had divorced Tyler, he did not believe her. Based on past


    experiences, Noah was convinced Tyler would have killed him for standing next to Vicky, yet he did not


    react at all this time.


    Once Tyler and Aurora were inside the hall, Vicky said,” Noah, let’s go inside as well.”


    ‘Yeah, sure.”


    When she returned to her seat, the lights at the exhibition booth had already been illuminated.


    Vicky sat beside Elijah and asked softly, “Has it started?”


    “Not yet,” Elijah replied with an odd expression.


    Vicky remained puzzled. It wasn’t until Noah, who sat behind her, gently tapped her shoulder and


    whispered, “Vicky, look


    beside you.”


    To Vicky’s left was Elijah, but she had not looked at the person to her right yet. Since it was a VIP


    couple seat, there was an aisle separating her from the person on her right.


    Her longshes fluttered as she turned her gaze toward her right.


    There sat a handsomely noble man, elegantly reclining in his chair with a distinct jawline and an


    indifferent expression. He noticed her gaze as he turned his head and nced back at her. However,


    after just one look, he turned away expressionlessly, as if they wereplete strangers.


    Vicky’s breath hitched, and she quickly averted her gaze.


    “Vicky,” Elijah whispered, “Why is Tyler Hart here?”


    He did not know of Tyler’s antics before, but after Vicky exined her situation, Elijah investigated the


    situation further and discovered that the man he encountered in the bridal shop was indeed Tyler.


    “Beats me,” Vicky replied.


    Seeing that Vicky was unwilling to say more, Elijah did not press further.


    After about five minutes, the auction officially began. The first item up for auction was a chessboard


    that exuded an ancient charm.


    Vicky remembered seeing a rare chessboard in Old Madam Harrisons’s room and her expression


    shifted.


    Old Madam Harrisons enjoyed ying chess, and when Vicky visited, she often yed chess with her.


    The chessboard before her eyes had a simple yet substantial feel. It was clearly a high-quality piece


    that was sought after.


    The host on stage began to introduce the chessboard in detail. After listening to the host’s description,


    Vicky felt it would be a suitable birthday gift for Old Madam Harrisons.


    After the introduction, the host announced, “The starting bid for this chessboard will be fifteen


    thousand, and each subsequent bid should not be less than one thousand and five hundred dors.”


    Immediately, someone started bidding, “Sixteen thousand and five hundred.”


    “Seventeen thousand!”


    “Eighteen thousand!”


    After several rounds of bidding, when the chessboard reached 30,000, the bidding gradually ceased.


    Vicky, knowing the value of the chessboard, at most, was 20,000, but considering it was a celebratory


    gift for Old Madam Harrisons, she raised her paddle.


    “Thirty-eight thousand.”


    After Vicky called out 38,000, no one else followed.


    The host raised his voice. “Thirty-eight thousand once, thirtyeight thousand twice, thirty-eight


    thousand-“


    “Forty-five thousand.” Another voice cut through the quiet air, resonating clearly throughout the


    exhibition hall.
