Donning a custom-made silk dress, Miranda was busy chit-chatting with a few society ladies. The auction that was about to begin was all set. This time, the auction dinner was well prepared. Everyone in Northfield’s upper class respected Miranda, so upon her invitation, they all brought high-priced auction items.

Leah, too, brought a painting worth seventy to eighty thousand. The Flanagans weren’t exactly filthy rich. This painting was the best she could offer. After all, the auction proceeds were to be donated, but for the sake of dignity, and given that she was in-laws with the Lindbergs, she couldn’t afford to appear too shabby.

Leah chuckled, “You are flattering me, Mrs. Santiago. Your wooden carving is the real treasure here.” The carving was actually worth just over forty thousand dollars Mrs Santiago laughed, knowing Leah was showing off her painting and downplaying her carving. She shot back, “I come to Mrs. Lindberg’s charity dinner every year. This is my third year already”

Leah’s face stiffened a bit. She knew Mrs. Santiago was mocking her for only being able to attend such a dinner this year because of her daughter. She bit her lip, “Mrs. Santiago, I hope to chat with you here again next year.”
