Lottie said , “ At this point , we can only hope that Wynn doesn’t go after the emerald jewelry set . ”
Celeste was thinking the same thing . But was that even possible ?
The emerald jewelry set started with a price of ten million .
Someone bid 15 million .
Celeste was the second to bid . “ 18 million . ”
“ 20 million . ”
“ 25 million . ”
Seeing that Wynn hadn’t bid yet , both Celeste and Lottie breathed a sigh of relief .
But just as Celeste was about to raise her paddle again , Wynn lifted hers . “ 50 million . ”
The auction hall erupted in murmurs of astonishment as Wynn calmly lowered her paddle . Celeste clenched her fists , thought for a moment , and bid , “ 60 million . ”
“ 65 million . ”
“ 70 million . ”
Hearing this , Celeste hesitated . Her grandmother’s seventieth birthday was a rare occasion – if she went up to 80 million …
Just as she was considering it , Wynn raised her paddle again . “ 120 million . ”
Celeste felt a tightness in her chest . After taking a slow breath , she silently put down her paddle .
By now , everyone had witnessed Trevor’s insane wealth , No one else dared to bid further .
And just like that , the emerald jewelry set went to Wynn .
There was nothing else in the auction that interested Celeste , but since the rules required all guests to stay until the auction ended , she had no choice but to remain seated .
The remaining items were even more expensive , and by the time Trevor had spent a staggering 360 million in a single night , Lottie couldn’t hold back anymore .
“ No way he’s still bidding , right ? Even if he’s ridiculously rich , this is absurd ! He’s really spending without hesitation on that mistress ! ”
Celeste had no answer for Lottie’s outburst . But soon , the answer revealed itself – Trevor did not bid again . When the auction ended , Celeste and Lottie left the hall . Celeste didn’t glance in Trevor’s direction even once . Lottie , on the other hand , kept an eye on them and saw that Jorge had walked over to greet Trevor and Wynn . Just as Celeste and Lottie stepped outside , a well – dressed older woman whom Lottie knew approached them .
After exchanging pleasantries with Lottie , the woman’s gaze landed on Celeste . With a polite smile , she asked , ” Lottie , this young lady seeins unfamiliar who is she ? ”
Lottie introduced Celeste to her .

Upon hearing her background , the woman’s smile faded slightly . “ Oh , so she’s Mr. Rodriguez’s niece . She is quite beautiful … ”
The woman knew a bit about the Rodriguez family’s situation .
It was said that Mr. Rodriguez’s sister had suffered depression in her youth , leading to mental instability , and had spent most of her years in a nursing home .
Celeste was indeed stunning , and she appeared well – mannered . If her education was decent , then even with a mother who had mental issues , it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker .
However , the Rodriguez family’s business had been declining for years .
Despite Ivan’s relentless efforts to save the company , the chances of reviving Rodriguez Corporation were slim .
With these two major flaws , no matter how perfect Celeste seemed , she was still unworthy of marrying into their family .
What a pity …
The woman didn’t say anything outright , but both Celeste and Lottie picked up on her meaning . The woman continued chatting with Lottie , so they didn’t leave immediately .
At that moment , Trevor , Wynn , and Jorge emerged from the auction hall .
Jorge extended a hand toward Trevor and Wynn . “ I have something to take care of . Let’s talk next time . ” “ Next time . ”
Jorge nodded and left with his friends .
Soon , more people came to greet Trevor .
As he shifted his stance , he ended up facing Celeste directly . Their eyes met .
Celeste froze for a second – then quickly looked away .
Trevor also withdrew his gaze and resumed chatting with the people greeting him .
Wynn , noticing his indifference toward Celeste , slowly curved her lips into a satisfied smile .
After socializing for over ten minutes , Lottie felt parched . She and Celeste headed to the drink station to grab something to quench their thirst before leaving .
