My Extraordinary Wife

In the end, the bid for the book was won by one of the tycoons.

As for the item Hera contributed to the auction, she had initially left it for last due to how valuable it was.

The moment she finished, the assistant quickly switched the tray she was originally carrying to Hera’s item. What’s going on with her? Aren’t we supposed to auction the vase first? Why did she suddenly change it to her item?

Despite the questions in her mind, the assistant hurried onto the stage with Hera’s item.
