    Chapter 283


    Marcus didn’t want to hear Comelia exin one more time that she wasn’t his wife So, he stepped in to


    stop her


    Comelia mistook his interruption for impatience so she quickly waved goodbye to the gil and humed to


    catch up with him


    This trip was personal for Marcus, work–rted to Cornelia din arrange forpany staff to pick


    them up. Instead, she rented a business car from a rentalpany


    Comelia knew Marcus wel He didn’t like to stand out when he was out and about if it weren’t for his


    good looks, no one would notice han


    Like his clothes never with a big brand logo Even insiders might not realize they we custom made


    Come didn’t malize that as they got into the cat Hayden Raff’s luxury car passed by them


    Hayden Ruff in a lousy mood, noticed them and instructed his assistant, “Find out who owns that


    business car


    “Yes sir” His assistant made a quick phone call


    Before long the assistant got the info, “Mr Ruff, the car is from’a rentalpany, rented today by a


    woman named Cornelia”


    “Comelia” So, that was her name Nice name, but she shouldn’t have crossed him, Hayden Ruff “Find


    out which hotel she’s staying at


    Before Hayden Ruff was cautious, thinking that the man with the strong aum was someone important


    But now, knowing they could only afford to rent a car, and a in business car at that Hayden Ruff


    decided the man was just a nobody


    In Harbor City everyone but the Dixons had to make way for him, Hayden Ruf!


    Soon, the assistant reported with a troubled look, “Mr Ruff, they’re staying at a hotel owned by the


    Dixon family We couldn’t find out anything about the man.”


    Hayden Ruff was dissatisfied but didn’t dare to offend the Dixon family. He got lucky this time


    N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    The top auction was held at the World Art International in Harbor City, which happened to be owned by


    the Ruff Corporation.


    The auction started at eight, and by seven, most guests had arrived


    Cornelia and Marcus were among thest to arrive Marcus’s invitation didn’t list him as a special quest,


    so their arrival didn’t attract any special attention.


    Among the attendees were industry big shots like Steven Dixon Lucas Duncan, and Zavier Rivera


    Steven was apanied by Hannah Daxon, Lucas had Rosie Duncan by his side. With Skyler Blue


    gone Zavier attended alone, giving Comelia a new understanding of him


    The men were all in suits, the women in beautiful gowns. The most stunning were Hannah and Rosie


    Hannah was an actress, and Comelia often saw her gown styles on TV Each one had a different kind


    of beauty, so Hannah standing out didn’t surprise Come


    What surprised her was Rosie, who usually seemed so gentle and elegant, was transformed into a


    dazzling beauty in her gown, impossible to ignore


    Their malepanions were like protectors, always closely following them Whenever someone’s gaze


    landed on Hannah and Rosie Steven and Lucas’s eyes became stern, as if ready to attack


    Steven saw Cornelia and Marcus first. He walked over with Hannah and his drink, “Marc, I thought you


    weren’t interested in attending tonight What changed your mind?”


    Marcus took a drink from a waiter, swirled it casually, “Just felt like it.”


    Steven nced at Cornelia, “Marc, we’re all dressed formally Why is Cornelia in work clothes? If you


    cant afford a dress, let me know I can buy one for her”
