Chapter 221

Hubert refused to make way and even asked Beatrix, “Beatrix, do you like Mr.

Cline’s jewelry too? That’s fantastic! I plan to purchase one for your sister

Beatrix’s curiosity was piqued, so she stopped walking and asked, “Oh, when

immediately responded with a proud smile, “My father and elder brother

have agreed to sponsor the betrothal gift for the Quillen family. I know your

sister has a fondness for beautiful things in golden hues. The highlight of

tonight’s auction will be a golden jade phoenix, and I’m certain she will like it!”

“Oh, you truly understand my elder sister!”

“Of course! I know Mackenzie better than anyone in this world,” Hubert

proudly proclaimed.
