Chapter 21


    What was she wearing?


    The two thin straps on her shoulder looked like they could be snapped easily.


    When Skr got closer to Joe, she realized that he was scowling. Was he unhappy that her dress


    was embarrassing him?


    She thought the stylist had chosen well and that her make–up had been well done. She liked her


    look today very much.


    “Do I look bad?” Skr asked.


    Joe’s eyes were dark as he frowned slightly, showing his displeasure. “There are a lot of high–


    society people in today’s auction. You will attract some attention dressed like that.”


    “If I can really do that, in addition to my beauty, I need to thank your stylist. The dress and makeup


    he provided were top–notch.” Skr could hear the ridicule in Joe’s tone.


    Paul gaped as he listened to them talk.


    Skr didn’t seem to care how Joe felt.


    If she did, she would have been eager to exin to him if he was misconstruing her as a


    seductress, right?


    The staff at the auction house had arranged seats in advance.


    Maisy and Jeffrey sat in the back corner.


    There were lots of people today. Apparently, the items auctioned today are treasures. Even if one


    could not get the items, it was a chance to broaden one’s horizons.


    Jeffrey was only able to attend the auction today thanks to someone’s introduction.


    Maicy had begged Jeffrey to let her tag along after she’d found


    auction.


    out that he would be attending the


    The Williamses had their ownpany and properties in Jipsburg. Still, they were not part of the


    upper- ss society gathered here.


    Jeffrey wanted to use the opportunity to get to know these people. Maisy had the same intentions.


    She wondered if she’d see Joe, the guy she had a flitting nce at today.


    All the men wore suits. As she was seated behind, she couldn’t see what was happening in front


    too


    clearly.


    “Dad, you said the Martin Group gave us a contract that helped ourpany move ahead in the


    industry.


    If Mr. Martin of Martin Group was here at the auction, could we find a chance to speak to him?” Mai


    whispered.


    Jeffrey felt hopeful, too. “I hope to do so if there’s a chance.”


    2/2


    He suddenly thought about something he’d heard from others. “Mr. Martin is not married. You’re an


    outstanding youngdy, Maisy. If you could get to know him, then… You know what I’m trying to


    say, right?”


    Maisy knew what Jeffrey was thinking. She blushed and lowered her head. “I know, Dad.”


    “You’re smart. No wonder you’re my daughter.” Jeffrey couldn’t help but praise her.


    Suddenly, he froze.


    Maisy saw Jeffrey looking stunned as he looked ahead, so she asked immediately. “What is it,


    Dad?”


    Jeffrey was staring at the man and woman at the front row. The man was Joe. The woman’s back


    looked familiar. It looked like Skr, who had put him in a bad mood the entire day.


    “Joe brought a femalepanion today. She looks like Skye.”


    “A femalepanion?” Maisy looked in the direction Jeffrey was looking.


    She only


    lv saw Joe’s back, but it was enough to make her obsessed. He was wearing a suit like others, but


    he looked more attractive than others.


    But


    She couldn’t believe that he’d brought a femalepanion. The woman wore a haute couture dress


    that Maisy couldn’t afford to buy or order. The dress revealed the woman’s well–defined back, and


    her skin was as delicate as porcin.

    She looked like…..


    She really looked like Skr from the back…


    Maisy was jealous of the womans nyum


    Skr.


    “Dad, she just looks slightly like Skr. But there’s no way she could know Mr. Martin.”


    Maisy thought the woman looked slutty. She obviously wanted to seduce Joe with that dress.


    Maybe her dress was counterfeit anyway.


    Jeffrey took another look. “You’re right. I must have been mistaken. She doesn’t look like Skye at


    all.”


    Skr didn’t know that Jeffrey and Maisy were there as well. After she sat down with Joe, the


    auction.


    started in a few seconds.


    “What does Grandma want?” Skr asked Joe. She’d started to feel tired after seeing a few auction


    items.


    Her head pounded. She must have been too busy these few days. Her body felt weak. It was one of


    the symptoms of donating blood regrly.


    Joe nced at Skr. Due to his height, he was half a head taller than her, even sitting down. As


    she was wearing this dress, he could easily see her seductive features with a slight tilt of his head.


    This dress… was not suitable for her.


    “A diamond ring,” he replied coldly.


    From the corner of his eyes, he saw a man walking toward Skr. He was looking at her from top to


    toe. Joe’s face fell. He looked at the man icily.


    When the man saw that Joe was beside Skr, he stopped. At the same time, he felt a slight sense


    of pity. It was rare to meet a woman he was attracted to immediately. He couldn’t believe she was


    with Joe. However, Joe had never been with any women before.


    If she’d just been apanying him to the auction, Joe wouldn’t have given him a warning gaze


    like that… The next auction item was an antique painting.


    The staff started auctioning it after exining its background.


    Skr was surprised when she saw the painting. Daniel was fast. She hadn’t expected him to send


    it to the auction house so quickly.


    She was also curious how much the painting she’d sold for 500 thousand dors could be auctioned


    off


    for.


    Joe saw how intently Skr was staring at the antique painting. He recalled that she’d brought a


    roll of painting with her when she’d moved to Gxy Vi.


    Was she interested in antique paintings?
