The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

"Fine. I guess we'll see.” The woman sneered, clearly hostile toward Frank and Trevor.

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.

Soon, Frank found himself staring a fist-sized yellowed tree root, laying still in a chest cushioned in red velvet cloth.

"Look, Mr. Lawrence! Isn't that the Hyperion Root?!" Trevor exclaimed excitedly, not noticing the frown on Frank's face.

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."

Jenny then lifted the sandalwood chest over her head, while the cameras zoomed in on the Hyperion Root.
