"Whoever is behind all this doesn't want you dead." Pierre rolled his eyes at Selena. "If their aim was to kill you, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to get you here."

Pierre's words got Selena thinking for a while, and she agreed with him as she saw no point for the mastermind to lure her all the way here just to poison her. Thus, she picked up an orange and peeled off its skin before relishing it.

Not long after that, the auction began, then the auctioneer proceeded to present every single antique that was put up for sale. As the event continued, the antiques slowly found their ways to their respective new owners one by one, but Selena, who was enjoying her snacks, appeared uninterested in all of them since she was after the bracelet. However, she soon felt nervous at the thought that the auction was a setup, fearing for the uncertainty that lay ahead of them.

In the meantime, Pierre seized Selena's hand and comforted her. "Relax. Just place your bid like you normally do."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to present to you this precious bracelet. You may place your bid now, starting from 1 million!"

Soon, Pierre whispered in Selena's ear, "I'll place the bid, while you pay attention to the surroundings. We'll bid up slowly."
