Chapter 223

As soon as Hubert spoke, it was apparent which family would emerge as the

winner of the coveted centerpiece jewelry tonight. “400, going once!” The

elegant auctioneer’s voice resonated through the hall. At the same time,

Beatrix’s nerves were on edge.

“Haha, how about that? Isn’t your future brother–in–law impressive?” Hubert,

oblivious to Beatrix’s thoughts, proudly boasted to her.

present gasped in astonishment. Someone dared to compete with Hubert

bidder’s identity.
