The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 144

After all, the both of them were of equal status. It really depended on what mood they were in. If they were in a good mood, they'd obliged and pay their respects. However, if they weren't, they'd avoid each other like the plague.

Alvina Rufford must have been born under a lucky star or something. She was beautiful, no doubt about it, but besides that she was from an unremarkable family and had an ordinary background. Yet, Simon, the second son from the Fest branch family, was enamored by her. She married up and from then on, lived a blessed life.

Coincidentally, the person who introduced her to Simon was also someone related to Jayden Mondez. That person was stabbed by Jacob.

This was also why Jacob suspected that Alvina had something to do with Naeve's death.

Best friend, Mondez family, Alvina Rufford…

His eyes flashed with understanding.

On table two, Yuna narrowed her eyes at table three. Her red lip twisted into a smirk, "My son deserves that jade gourd. 1.2 million!"

Simon glared at her taunt. He was about to raise his paddle and a slim hand reached out to stop him.

Alvina, looking angelic in a snow-white evening gown, shook her head at her husband. "Why stoop to her level for a jade pendant?"

"The jade gourd is an auspicious item. It'll be great if we could win it for our daughter!" Simon's eyes softened at the thought of his young daughter at home.

He lifted his paddle. "1.5 million!"

On table one, the chairman for Paramount Consortium cracked a joke at Benny, "Benny, my old boy, why aren't you bidding? Aren't you afraid the youngsters will raise the bar too high?"

"Haha! The higher the better!" Benny chortled. "It is a charity auction after all. The higher they raise the price, the more people will benefit from it! I'll just sit and watch the show!"

"Benny, you are a sly one!" The middle aged man gave him a thumbs up.

Sitting next to Benny, Willow smiled without a word. She was happy just watching it all go down.

"Hmph! It's on!" Yuna gritted her teeth. She almost seemed to shoot lasers out of her eyes. "Two million!"

As soon as she yelled out her offer, the hall was filled with buzzing.

The other guests were excited to see them pit their wealth against each other.

On table twelve, Moira glared at Jonah in annoyance. She turned to Jerry and said, "Why aren't you bidding? It's gone up to two million!"

Her eyes flickered to Jonah when she mentioned the two million.
