The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Trevor was going to argue, but Frank stopped him. "Don't cause a mess. We're here for the auction.” Trevor snorted coolly. "Well, we're letting her off easy.”

His business operated mainly abroad, but he still had strong influence in Draconia. How else could he have investigated the Leaf family so quickly?

Meanwhile, auction items were quickly leaving the table, and the more important ones were now being presented.

Jenny Leaf—Bail's daughter and emcee of the auction—personally introduced the item. "Honored guests, the next item is one of my father's most precious pieces, and it's often presented for appraisal: a Hyperion Root, which represents the wood element of the Five Elemental Wonders. It is an object of utter rarity, and it wasn't easy for my late father to acquire it."
