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.
