The auction went on smoothly after the first sale was closed. All the other items Loraine donated were


    wheeled in one after the other. Each of them was sold for at least two times its normal price. The


    bidders tried their best to please Marco.


    All the items Loraine donated were sold out. At this moment, other items were wheeled out one after


    the other.


    Curran’s eyes lit up. He rubbed his palms together, getting ready for action.


    As an antique collector, he came to the auction to collect valuable items. He itched to have a go as the


    auction progressed.


    A rosewood walking stick caught Curran’s fancy as soon as it was brought out.


    It was a sight to behold. The walking stick was carved exquisitely and its head was ted with gold.


    The redwood shone as if it had been polished with the finest of wood. It was clear that it was of high


    quality.


    “Two hundred thousand dors!”


    “Two hundred and fifty thousand dors!”


    Loraine and Curran ced a bid at the same time.


    Loraine hadn’t forgotten the main purpose of this auction. She was here to buy gifts for her family.


    She knew that this walking stick was a rare one.

    It wasn’t that heavy but highly durable. She could picture her grandpa using it to support himself.


    With this thought in mind, Loraine didn’t hesitate to bid for it.


    Curran wanted the walking stick so badly. But once he reasoned that


    Marco would be displeased if he took it, he didn’t make a higher offer.


    The two of them took interest in a small Roman statue shortly after.


    Again, Curran gave it up.


    But when they took interest in the same item for the third time, Curran became pissed.


    “Miss Torres, are you doing this on purpose? Howe you are interested in all the items I want?”


    Loraine turned a deaf ear to him. Sensing the budding conflict, Vickie seized the opportunity to fan the


    fire.


    “Honey, you shouldn’t lose three times in a row. I think Loraine is going against you because she has


    someone to support her. Don’t let this slide.”


    As those words settled in Curran’s head, he stared at Loraine gloomily.


    He decided to teach this arrogant woman a lesson.
