Chapter 1044


    Chapter 1044 You Are Such A Meanie


    Genevieve did not feel threatened at all. She kept lifting her paddle, and she finally got what she


    wanted.


    She even bought a gemstone piece for Charlotte.


    Charlotte whispered to Genevieve, “I''ve been watching Eurydice the entire time. You''ve snatched away


    her aunt''s items a few times, but her aunt never seemed irked. I''d say she''s not here for the paintings


    but the gilt-bronze idol that will be presented second tost.”


    “Hm, I like that too.” Genevieve crossed her leg. “I''ll have to take my time savoring the disappointed


    looks on Eurydice and her auntter on.”


    Charlotte passed her a cup of fruit tea and giggled. “Genevieve, you''re such a meanie!”


    Ten minutester, the second tost item was brought to the stage. Right as the auctioneer finished


    speaking, numerous people raised their paddles.


    As usual, Genevieve waited for Karolina to lift her paddle before raising hers.


    A whileter, the price of the idol was far too high, and many people gave up. Still, Genevieve


    continuedpeting against Karolina with an increment of two million per raise.


    Soon, the idol''s price was over a hundred and fifty million.


    Beforeing to the auction, Karolina had found out that she would be able to get the idol with a


    hundred and twenty million at most if no one else expressed any interest in it. Afraid that something


    might go wrong, Karolina even prepared an extra three hundred million. Nevertheless, it seemed like


    the sixty-sixth patron came much more prepared than she was.


    Eurydice nced in Genevieve''s direction one more time before murmuring to Karolina, “She''s clearly


    targeting us and has prepared well for it. Forget it.”


    Karolina was afraid that she might end up stepping into the other patron''s trap, so after a moment of


    rumination, she decided to give up on the idol.


    Once the auction ended, the lights in the hall turned bright again. Karolinamented, “I know that the


    olddy at home likes that deity, and coincidentally, they''re auctioning an idol of that deity, so I thought


    I''d get one to make her happy. Who knew we''d encounter something like this?”


    “Aunt Karolina, you''ve already given her an abundance of gifts over the years,” Eurydice said with a

    smile. “You even gifted her an idol made of moonstonest year. It''s fine even if you can''t get anything


    for her this year.”


    Karolina nodded, but she was still thinking of getting someone to look for gifts so that she would be


    able to bring a gift to the birthday of the patriarch of the Gaudettes.


    The Gaudette family was a prominent one in Jadeborough, and an unimaginable number of people


    wished they could be in the family''s good books.


    Although Karolina was only cousins with Eurydice''s mother, both had been close since young. Later on,


    after Karolina married, her husband''s family managed to do fantastically in their business with the help


    of the Gaudette family. Moreover, her rtionship with the Gaudettes also gave her a better standing


    among the rich wives.


    When Karolina came out to the aisle, she looked over to the seat where the sixty-sixth patron was. She


    wanted to know who had beenpeting against her for the paintings and the idol.


    It was then she spotted two young women packing up their things and rising to their feet. One of them


    was a gorgeous woman in a spaghetti-strapped dress.


    Karolina furrowed her brows and wondered why the two young women were targeting her, for she


    could not recall ever seeing them anywhere before then.


    When Karolina saw Eurydice stopping in her tracks and turning to Genevieve, she asked, “Do you


    know her?”


    Eurydice replied, “I do. It looks like she''s not after you but me.”


    While the two were talking to each other, Genevieve and Charlotte came out to the aisle. As they were


    going to exit via the right door, they had to walk past Eurydice and her aunt.


    Upon reaching them, Genevieve looked at Eurydice in surprise and said, “What a coincidence, Ms.


    Gaudette!”


    “Is it?” Eurydice said with a smile that did not reach her eyes. “I think you knew I was here since the


    start. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have snatched my aunt''s things during the auction non-stop.”


    Genevieve smiled. “You can''t say that, Ms. Gaudette. The items in the auction hall are meant to be


    auctioned off. The highest bidder gets the item. I liked them, so I got them. What''s wrong with that?


    Your aunt failed to get the items because she didn''t have enough money. How can you me that on


    me?”
