Chapter 89 Unveiling Hidden Agendas
Tonight''s charity banquet was entirely organized by the Olsen family. While the Olsen family imed to
donate ten percent of the auction proceeds to charity, everyone knew that the Olsen family was
currently facing some financial difficulties and using the auction to generate cash.
Within their social circle, this was an open secret. The old master of the Olsen family had always been
known for his discerning eye and had a penchant for collecting treasures from a young age. The Olsen
family had quite a few hidden treasures.
Rarely, this time, the old master of the Olsen family was being exceptionally generous. Everyone in the
circle received the invitation and naturally attended. Even those without money wanted toe and
have a look at the collections. It was rumored that the Adams mansion was also participating in the
auction.
Avery and Isabe arrived just in time. Isabe leaned out of the car window and said, "I''ll park the car
and join you upstairs. Save me a seat up front."
"Alright."
Isabe had never attended such an event before. She thought it would be like trying to find a good
seat in a university lecture, where positions were arranged in advance.
Generally, seating was divided in two ways: by social status or based on charitable contributions.
Fortunately, she had arranged for Isabe to make a donation in advance, so she also had a ce. It
wasn''t a matter of sitting wherever she pleased.
However, Avery overlooked one thing. She was stopped at the door.
"Lady, do you have an invitation?" It wasn''t that the security guard wanted to make things difficult for
Avery. After all, who attended an event like this without wearing formal attire? It was unheard of for
someone to show up in a down jacket, especially with a few feathers sticking out.
Avery calmly replied, "It''s with my friend."
"I''m sorry,dy. Please wait for your friend toe in together."
This kind of event was rtively private, and Avery understood the security guard''s duty.
As the arriving guests entered, many of them nced at her to some extent. Avery stood tall,
Just then, Sarah appeared with La on her arm. From a distance, Avery heard Sarah''s voice. "La, I
saw that dress in an interview. They said it''s adorned with a total of 3650 real diamonds, each one
representing Mr. Hill''s love for you. I envy such a childhood sweetheart kind of love."

Avery''s fingers dug deep into her palm, but she felt no pain. She had always thought that the Starry
Night was designed by Jacob for her, and she believed he embedded so many real diamonds for the
aesthetics. Now, she knew it was a tribute to his past with La.
So, Jacob had admired La as early as ten years ago.
La was surrounded by several extravagantly dressed women. Their eyes met, but La coldly
looked away.
She didn''t want any involvement with Avery so as not to let anyone know about her past with Jacob.
Sarah had a different mindset. That day at the dinner party, Avery had made everyone unhappy. After
waiting so long for the Adams family''s bankruptcy, she had now cozied up to La. She didn''t even
consider Avery worth her attention.
"Isn''t this our genius schr? How did you end up dressed like this? From a distance, I thought you
were a homeless person."
The security guard, at an inappropriate moment, chimed in, "Mrs. Li, do you know this youngdy? She
doesn''t have an invitation. If you know her, you can enter together."
La coldly replied, "I don''t know her."
Sarah took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire and instructed the security guard, "Keep
your eyes wide open. Don''t let any paupers sneak in. It''s almost New Year''s, and who knows, they
might be so desperate that they''re trying to steal something. If there''s any loss, you won''t be able to
make up for it in your lifetime."
The security guard nodded and bowed repeatedly to them. "Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, miss."
The group of people rolled their eyes and went in. The security guard was about to urge Avery to leave
when John, who was outside smoking, saw the scene and quickly stopped him.
The security guard hurriedly let Avery in.
