“Boss, why aren’t we going in?” Chase asked.
Ellinor stood still, watching Theo alight from his car and enter the auction house. She frowned, “I saw someone I don’t fancy Let’s wait a bit before we go in.”
Chase followed her gaze, “That looks like Theo from the Blanchet family! Boss, do you know him?”
Ellinor looked displeased, “We’re not exactly pals.”
The auction house had two levels. The ground floor was for regular customers, and the upper floor was for VIPs who preferred privacy. It was filled with private booths, each with its distinct number.
Theo was in booth number 1, and Ellinor was in booth number 7.
After a few ordinary antiques were auctioned off, several oil paintings, the main attractions of the auction, were brought onto the stage. The auctioneer professionally introduced the era and the value of these paintings, before starting the bidding at a million dollars!
“1.5 million!”
“2 million!”
“3 million!”
Eventually, these paintings were won by a mysterious buyer from booth number 1 for a whopping 1.8 million dollars, causing a stir among the spectators!

Here it was!
“Bidder number 3 bids $600,000!”
“Number 11 bids $700,000!”
“Number 5 bids $750,000!”
Ellinor gave Chase the nod, signaling him to start bidding.
