Chapter 169 The Auction 1
The inspection was stern when they entered through the door. The guests needed to show their
invitation, and they had to pass through an x-ray machine.
Elizabeth had attended auctions before, but she had never been to one as strict as this.
After a female security guard inspected her body, Gwendalyn had to go through the x-ray machine to
pass the inspection.
The three went to the entrance after the inspection was done.
There was a long hallway in the building with exquisitely sculpted pirs.

Elizabeth looked around carefully. This ce must be pretty ancient
Upon entry, she immediately spotted many recognizable faces. Elizabeth soon understood the guests
who were invited here were well-known people of Mistwood.
Nics and Leonard were also there, and they walked toward the three.

Leonard scanned the people in the building. “Is there anything good this year?”
There’s quite a crowd here. Is there a rumor about the items at this auction? Is that why the event
attracted so many
people?
Nics whispered, “I came here for Portrait of a Beauty. I love beautiful women.”
Hearing that, Leonard smiled. “Do you think you’ll meet her in your dreams if you buy the portrait?”
This brat. Why does he need a portrait of an ancient woman when he’s surrounded by women left and
right?
Raising an eyebrow, Nics stated, “You don’t understand. Talk to me when you learn about art one
day.”
Matthew was silent. He knew what would be auctioned that day as the organizer had sent him a list. He
had never
attended this event, so the organizer hoped he could show up.
He had his eyes on a ne from an ancient period. The ne was made from a meteor and was
named Starry
Tears.
ording to legend, the ne would bring luck to people. It could also make two people who were
in love with each
other reunite in every lifetime to fall in love and protect each other.
This was also the first time Leonard came to such an event. Usually, he would not take leaves at this
time of the year, and
he had no time to attend.
Turning to Matthew, he asked, “What about you, Matt? Do you have any insider info?”
The auction in Merry Town was a very mysterious event. The usual auction would always give out a list
of items, and
people would attend if there were something they liked.
However, only invited guests could participate in the auction in Merry Town.
Not to mention, the auctioned items were kept confidential. One could only find out what was auctioned
on the day of the
event.
Many people hoped to take part, but they were not qualified.
Soon, some staff came out to inform the people they were allowed to enter the hall.
Taking a step forward, Nics suggested, “Let’s sit together.”
The three wealthy young men had their private rooms on the second floor. It wasfortable, and the
view was clear.
Elizabeth was walking at the back when someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
“Lizzy.”
She turned around and was shocked to see Dominic.
“Oh, you’re here too, Dominic!” Elizabeth felt likeughing at herself upon realizing what she had said.
The Campbell family was also a prestigious family in Mistwood. It was only natural for them to invite
Dominic.
“Did youe here with Matthew?”
Dominie had noticed the man close to them. Coincidentally, Matthew turned around to look for
Elizabeth, and his eyes
met Dominic’s.
Elizabeth smiled. “Yes. I’m working as his secretary right now. I go wherever he goes.”
