Chapter 284
Seeing the loneliness on Jona s’s face, Kevin tried tofort him. “Uncle Jonas, don’t worry. My sister
and I are both on your side. Don’t be sad. You can break them up if you keep it up. We root for you!”
“Uncle Jonas, I root for you!”
As Kevin did, Yama raised her fist in the air to cheer Jonas.
Jonas felt a little ufortable when he saw Rosalind and Leonardo getting along better and better.
He also felt kind of strange when Yanna and Kevin cheered him. Anyway, he didn’t know whether to cry
or ligh
He wondered if it was okay for the kids to break their parents up
Connor didn’t want to make a bigger scene after things got cleared up, so he asked the security guards
to invite Xavier out so that he wouldn’t make any more trouble at the dinner auctionL
Xavier didn’t resist but breathed a sigh of relief. He left even before the security guards drove him
away.
When he saw the loot.
Brett and nor were lovey-dovey, he felt so irritable as if nor were cheating on him. He shot
himself in
Connor darkened his face when he saw Brett lugging nor tightly.
However, Connor had to keep his anger at bay because there were too many people at the banquet.
He had to proceed with the dinner auction, preparing to auction the painting named Snow Scene at
Argenteuil.
Fortunately, the dinner auction was not greatly affected by themotion caused by Xavier. Snow
Scene at Argenteuil was popr among guests. They were bidding against each other.
“I million dors””
“2 million dors!”
“4 million dors
10 million dors!”
“20 million dors!”
For a moment, the entire room fell into silence. Soon, they began to look around for the source of the
sound.
When they saw the bidder was Brett, they were all taken aback.
“Isn’t Brett a poor doctor at Nilua Hospital? How dare he bid 20 million dors? Is he kidding us?”
Someone in the crowd began to question Brett.
“Yeah, a doctor doesn’t make a lot of money. Does he believe that being with nor will make him
wealthy?”
“Well, it doesn’t seem right. Brett looks a little familiar. I remember Jason Smith, the owner of the
largest drugstore in Haldorin, has a son. What’s his name?”
Suddenly, someone eximed, “I know. His name is Brett Smith. He’s the best general practitioner in
Haldorin. His medical skills are expert-level. He’s awesome. Are they the same person?”
“Really?”
“It seems to be true. Brett looks a bit simr to Jason.”
“I thought Brett wanted to marry nor because the Humphrey family was wealthy. But I didn’t expect
Brett to be from the Smith family, a well-known pharmaceutical family with a long history. Destiny has
brouglu them together. They’re indeed a perfect match.”
“In that case, the Scott family is nothingpared to the Smith family.”
For a moment, some people, who previously looked down on Brett, started to think otherwise of him.
Connor’s eyes shone with shrewdness. He locked his gaze on Brett, measuring him up and down
before sinking into contemtion.
He had asked experts to appraise the painting Snow Scene at Argenteuil, which miglu fetch up to 10
million dors in bidding. However, Brett raised the bidding price to 20 million dors. He obviously did
this to make nor and the Humphrey family look good.
Brent also wanted to show everyone present that nor made the right decision in choosing him and
that he would make
ber life better.

Although something unexpected happened during the dinner auction, it went off without a hitch. At the
same time. everyone present was aware of the breaking news that the Smith family’s son was going to
marry the Humphrey family’s daughter.
“Would you keep an eye on my kids? I just need to powder my nose, Rosalind said.
“Rosalind, don’t worry! Go ahead!”
Kyle replied, smiling.
Rosalind smiled and turned to leave.
No one even noticed that a yellow figure quietly followed Rosalind.
When Rosalind turned around the corner, she felt that someone was following her. She frowned slightly
and turned her head and met Virginia’s malicious gaze.
“Why are you following me?” she asked crossly
Rosalind was a little surprised to see Virginia and Jerome talking just now, but she never expected
Virginia toe to her because they had nothing to talk about today.
“Rosalind are you feeling sig?”
As a woman with more sexual experience, Virginia immediately realized what had happened between
Rosalind and Leonardo judging from Rosalind’s radiant and swollen and moist lips that couldn’t be
masked by lipstick
She clenched her hands and shot daggers at Rosalind, her eyes filling with jealousy and resentment.
Rosalind frowned, folded her arms across her chest, and looked at Virginia speechlessly.
“What does it have to do with you? Virginia, I have never offended you, but you keep pestering me. If
you were not a female, I would have suspected that you were in love with me,” she said.
Otherwise, why did she always run into Virginia no matter where she went? Virginia always tried to
approach her, which made Rosalind sack to her stomach.
Virginia twitched the corners of her mouth slightly. Did she love Rosalind?
Did Rosalind lose her mind? But she indeed loved watching bad things happen to Rosalind. She hated
her so much that she wished to tear her into pieces,
“Rosalind, you are so shameless. How dare you say that you’ve never offended me?
“You stole my man and my son’s father. You caused my son to fall and be badly injured. Now he is still
in the hospital and may be paralyzed. How dare you say that you didn’t offend me?”
Virginia approached Rosalind step by step, her eyes zing with rage, which gave Rosalind
goosebumps,
Rosalind rolled her eyes at Virginia. She wondered if Virginia was drunk. Otherwise, how could she say
something like that!
“Do you consider yourself Leonardo’s wife since you’re around him all the time?
“You know full well who your son’s birth father is. Don’t pin it on Leonardo.
“Your son jumped off the boarding ramp by himself. What does it have to do with ine? Well, you’re so
good at shirking responsibility and smearing others.”
Ignoring Virginia’s anger, Rosalind raised her head high and looked tough.
“Leonardo wouldn’t have left me if it weren’t for you. I ended up in this situation all because of you,”
Virginia roared.
