Chapter 397


    “Mrs. Martin Senior just went to the auction. She asked you and Joe to join her there.”


    After hanging up. Skr drove toward the auction. She know the location from a previous visit, but


    the traffic was heavy then, so she turned on the navigation.


    As she drove, she wondered why Gloria suddenly decided to go to the auction. While she was


    wondering, Joe called.


    “I’ll be at the auction in ten minutes. How much longer will you take?”


    Skr nced at the navigation, which showed a little over ten minutes. After telling Joe the


    approximate time, he said they would enter together once she arrived.

    Thest time she attended an auction with Joe, others thought she was with Gloria present, she


    would be known as Gloria’s granddaughter–inw.


    She wondered what Gloria had set her sights on at the auction.


    15 minutester, Skr saw Joe in the parking lot. This time, her car entered the parking lot


    smoothly.


    Joe was dressed in a tailored suit. He looked very striking and cold.


    Skr realized she was dressed very simply in jeans and a trench coat.


    “I have prepared a dress for you. Get changed in the car.” Joe handed her a bag.


    Inside the bag was a white dress. The lighting in the parking lot was dim, and no one could see her


    in the backseat.


    Skr took the bag and went to the backseat to change. The car’s tight space made it awkward,


    especially with Joe sitting in the front.


    “Hand me your clothes once you’ve taken them off,” Joe suddenly said,


    Skr hesitated for a moment, then handed him her clothes. When she finished changing and


    tidying her hair, she was surprised to see Joe had folded her clothes neatly.


    Her eyes lingered on the folded clothes for a few seconds, feeling her heart skip a beat.

    She took the neatly folded clothes and thanked him.


    “Thank you.”


    “It will be cold inside, put on this shawl.”


    Joe handed her a beige cashmere shawl.


    The soft, warm touch of the cashmere shawl made Skr’s heart flutter.


    It wasn’t until they arrived at the auction and met Gloria that Skr truly calmed down.


    There weren’t many people at the auction today. Beside Gloria was another elegant elderly


    woman.


    When she saw Skr, she was a little surprised. After hearing Skr call Gloria “grandmother“, she


    asked Gloria quietly, “Do you have another granddaughter? I’ve never seen her before.”


    Gloria looked proud as she replied, “She’s my granddaughter–inw.”


    “What?” The woman was very surprised and looked at Skr closely.


    She hadn’t heard anything about this.


    She had just returned from abroad and called Gloria to attend the auction together, aiming to


    strengthen. their rtionship and potentially arrange a marriage between their families.


    But someone had made a faster move. Moreover, she has never seen this woman before.
