Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Despite Linda's plan to cozy up to Jason, she was quickly disappointed by his righteous character and the fact that he already had a fiancée. As she was about to give up on that idea, she was surprised to meet him up, given the unique circumstances.

Soon, Jason reached out for his phone and opened his gallery before he showed a picture to Linda. "Recognize this, Miss Dunn?"

Linda took a closer look at the picture on the phone's screen and wondered. "Isn't this..." This pair of bracelets... The bracelet that I bid away during the auction?

"That's right! This is exactly the bracelet you bid not long ago, Miss Dunn. My investigation shows that you used to be Astorian. Thus, I believe you might have attended the auction that was held in Astoria back then, although you failed to secure the bracelet in the end. Am I right?"

Since Linda used to handle all affairs related to the auction on Selena's behalf, her authorized signature unknowingly became a lead for Jason to follow in his investigation. However, she was relieved that the auction's stringent confidentiality policy prevented him from uncovering any more information about her. Thus, Jason was only able to learn a thing or two about Linda but nothing about Selena.

"Yes, you're right." Linda said with a bitter smile while staring at Jason, "Were you the bidder I was contending with at that time?" She suddenly recalled a fierce contender in the auction back in Astoria. Then, she linked her previous experience with her subsequent one and remembered the same thing happened during the recent auction in Yucaria, even though she had bribed the auctioneer beforehand. Why is Jason so concerned about the pair of bracelets?

"That's right! The contender you encountered in Astoria back then, as well as in the recent auction, was my representative," Jason politely answered.
