“By the way, who started the bet just now? Didn’t someone say that after Maxwell made a move himself, 823 would follow a few times? Now it’s already happened once. Those who bet on zero times, pay up!”
“There’s no result yet, just wait!”

There was a lot of talk downstairs, and at this moment, the second floor.
Roxanne, who just thought everything was settled, saw the other side raise the price and immediately stood up.
“What did she want to do?” Roxanne’s voice was a bit sharp.
Given Maxwell’s power in Haraville, since he already engaged in unlimited bidding, it meant he would definitely buy it in the end, so what was the point of raising the price?
Did Serena still think she could one–up Maxwell?
If it wasn’t, then what was it?
Provoking?
So was this provocation aimed at Maxwell or at her, Roxanne?
When Roxanne couldn’t figure it out, the others on the second floor all reacted differently.
Jeremiah didn’t understand what Stephanie wanted to do.

Although he was a short–tempered guy, he was actually quite thoughtful. Many times, if something couldn’t be done, he didn’t force
Even though that piece of Tanzanite was the birthstone Stephanie got for the kid. Now all of them together were no match for Maxwell, so what’s the point?
Based on what he knew about Stephanie, she wasn’t really an impulsive person, so what was this?
Was it because I got mad and lost my mind because of what Roxanne and Maxwell did?
Thinking this, Jeremiah lowered his voice and asked, “Serena?”
Stephanie glanced up a little and looked at Jeremiah.
She said, “Do you trust me?”
Just that one look made Jeremiah’s heart race.
Those cold eyes hidden under the mask had a deadly attraction.
Enough to make anyone hit the table for her.
Jeremiah’s right hand was clenched.
Then, he nodded gently.
It had already gotten to this point, so he wasn’t afraid to join her at the table.
Simon over there leaned over and looked this way, looking all smug.
He waved straight at Jeremiah and said loud enough for both of them to hear, “You can’t even control your own woman, and she dared to go

against Maxwell. Grandpa is still in the villa. Just wait, Grandpa’s gonna give you a hard time!”
“Simon!” Jeremiah was furious.
He couldn’t do anything about Maxwell, so was he supposed to be scared of Simon?
Thinking about it, Jeremiah just ran straight over to Simon.
“Jeremiah, what did you want from your big bro? I didn’t say anything wrong. You’ve been sucking up to that woman Serena for days now, isn’t that enough? I don’t want to be brothers with a simp.” Simon didn’t hold back either.
“Watch your mouth!” Jeremiah went straight at him, “Say that again and don’t blame me for tearing your mouth up!”
Simon didn’t back down either: “Tearing it up won’t help you, just wait till Grandpa comes after you!”
The scene was noisy.
Many people on the second floor were watching their brothers fight with great interest.
Harrison wanted to stir things up, but unfortunately his sister grabbed his ear and forced him to sit down.
“When will you finally grow up a bit?” the beautiful woman said helplessly.
Harrison mumbled like a poor little puppy, “Big bro just needs to be steady, right? I guess it doesn’t matter what I’m like…”
If Harrison had also been steady, talented, and ambitious, the Wilkinson family wouldn’t have ended up like this.

He knew this clearly when he was very young.
“Alright.” The man’s voice came from the shadows in the seats, and only then did the two stop messing around.
The auction was still going on.
In seat 888.
“Max, now this…”
Roxanne “hesitated” and looked at Maxwell, like she was about to say something to smooth things over.
“Did she really need that Tanzanite?” Roxanne said “considerately,” but her words were clearly meant to stir things up.
But Maxwell still didn’t look at her.
A pair of dark, cold eyes quietly watched seat 823.
Although that woman called Serena still sat in the dark, I could only vaguely see the outline of her wearing a silver, shimmery satin dress. There was no moonlight in the room, but with her sitting there, it was still impossible to ignore her presence.
Those few “deep words with shallow ties” on the rooftop still echoed in my ears.
Her whisper seemed to have the power to move people’s hearts.
Dangerous, and had a deadly attraction.
He couldn’t see her face, but he could feel that she was watching him
too.
Stephanie on seat 823 calmly looked at Maxwell.
