Avril’s mind started to feel muddled, unable to discern whether Bonnie was teasing her or truly knew
Jim.
Soon, the auction began.
The first item up for auction was a pair bracelets.
“Wow! They’re so beautiful!” Avril’s eyes lit up as she stared at the items on the auction tform.
Bonnie examined them closely. “These bracelets are indeed nice. Do you like them?”
“Of course I do.” Avril stretched her hand toward Bonnie, jokingly saying, “Look at my wrist. It’s
missing a jade bracelet like this one. However, these bracelets are expensive, so I’ll just admire
them from afar.”
Bonnie narrowed her eyes slightly at the beautiful bracelets and then shifted her gaze back to the
stage.
Trina, like Avril, had stars in her eyes. “Hadwin, those bracelets are so pretty!”
Hadwin affectionately wrapped his arms around Trina’s waist. “Since you like them, I’ll
bid for them for you.”
“No, no, it’s too expensive. You don’t have to waste money,” Trina pretended to be very sensible,
constantly eyeing the bracelets. She looked like she liked them but was unwilling to let him spend
money.
“You’re my woman. Spending on you isn’t a waste. Wait, I’ll bid for them right away.”
Trina felt moved, leaning into Hadwin’s embrace.
“Ugh, I can’t stand this lovey–dovey stuff. It’s disgusting and inappropriate,” Avril said, rubbing her
arms with goosebumps. Then, she turned to Bonnie. “Luckily, he broke off the engagement with
you. Otherwise, that pig you’ve snatched you up.”
Bonnie nced at the loving couple and said calmly, “Even if he didn’t break off the engagement, I
would’ve broken it off with him.”
“Exactly. That kind of tasteless scum doesn’t deserve you at all,” Kay crossed her arms
and scoffed.
Not long after, Heath stepped onto the stage as the auctioneer.

In the private room, when Ivor saw Heath, he murmured, “Huh? It’s him.”
“Who?” Ged had been busy drinking tea and hadn’t noticed, but hearing Ivor’s confusion, he
redirected his gaze to the auctioneer.
“Isn’t that the guy beside Ms. Bonnie when you challenged her to a chess game? He’s the
auctioneer for this event? I remember his name being Mr. Heath. The Rice family organizes this
auction yearly. It’s been around for centuries. He happens to have the same surname as the Rice
family. What’s his rtionship with them?”
Ivor pondered before responding, “I remember the Rice family has three daughters and one son.”
Ged’s eyes lit up. “Are you saying this Heath could be the eldest son of the Rice family?”
“It’s possible, but Rice is a prominent family, so he might not necessarily be the eldest son,” Ivor
analyzed with narrowed eyes.
Ged took a deep breath. “Wow, the Rice family is no ordinary wealthy family. Their background
extends back hundreds of years, and they’ve produced several powerful masters. With such a
background, if he is the eldest son of the Rice family, then Ms. Bonnie is truly remarkable to
befriend someone from such an illustrious family.”
Heath stood on the stage, scanning the room. When he saw Bonnie, he smiled and
nodded.
“Huh?” Avril was momentarily stunned. “Bonnie, the auctioneer just now seemed to have looked in
our direction.”
Bonnie replied calmly, “You must be mistaken.”

“Really?” Avril scratched her head. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she had indeed
seen the auctioneer look their way just now, and she thought she had seen Bonnie nod in response.
However, after seeing Bonnie’s calm demeanor, she began doubting herself.
“The first item for auction is a pair of ice jade bracelets. There’s no need for an
introduction. The starting price is four hundred grand, with no less than ten thousand increments.
Let the bidding begin!”
