“Boss, why aren’t we going in?” Chase asked.
Ellinor stood still, watching Theo alight from his car and enter the auction house. She frowned, “I saw someone I don’t fancy Let’s wait a bit before we go in.”
Chase followed her gaze, “That looks like Theo from the Blanchet family! Boss, do you know him?”
Ellinor looked displeased, “We’re not exactly pals.”

“3 million!”
Eventually, these paintings were won by a mysterious buyer from booth number 1 for a whopping 1.8 million dollars, causing a stir among the spectators!

Here it was!
“Bidder number 3 bids $600,000!”
“Number 11 bids $700,000!”
“Number 5 bids $750,000!”
Ellinor gave Chase the nod, signaling him to start bidding.
