Love At The Wrong Table

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.

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

“600!” Suddenly, Emmanuel’s voice echoed in the venue. The audiences

present gasped in astonishment. Someone dared to compete with Hubert
