Hearing this, I was still hesitating.
My grandmother’s seventieth birthday was important – if it was eighty million-
Just as I was thinking this, Ashley raised her paddle again: “120 million.”
I felt a tightness in my chest. After catching my breath, I quietly lowered the paddle in my hand.
Perhaps everyone had already witnessed Ferris’s wealth.
At this point, no one else bid, and the item went to Ashley again.
Among the remaining auction items, there was nothing I wanted. However, the auction house rules stated that no one could leave before the auction ended, so I had to stay in the auction hall.
The remaining auction items would be relatively more expensive. Seeing Ferris casually spend over 360 million in one evening, Cynthia couldn’t help saying: ‘Surely Ferris won’t keep bidding? No matter how rich he is, this isn’t how you spend money. He really doesn’t hold back when spending money on that
nistress.”
I couldn’t answer Cynthia’s questions.
After the auction ended, Cynthia and I left the auction hall.
When leaving, I didn’t look toward Ferris’s direction again.
But Cynthia was quite interested in that side, so she saw Blaze go over to Ferris and Ashley to greet them.
As Cynthia and I walked out of the auction hall, Ferris, Ashley, and Blaze also emerged from the auction hall.
3laze extended his hand toward Ferris and Ashley: “I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first. Let’s chat next time.”
Ferris: “Let’s chat next time.”
Blaze nodded and left with his friends.
Then other people came to greet Ferris.
erris turned sideways, facing me, and our eyes happened to meet.
paused and looked away first.
‘erris also withdrew his gaze and started chatting with the person who came to greet him.
Seeing Ferris still maintaining such an indifferent attitude toward me, Ashley slowly curved her lips upward.
After chatting with people for over ten minutes, Cynthia’s mouth was getting dry.
Cynthia and I went to the beverage area together, planning to drink something to moisten our throats before leaving.
There weren’t many people here. Just as Cynthia was about to speak, we suddenly heard a conversation from the side.
“Blaze, are you… interested in Ferris’s girlfriend?”
“I wouldn’t say interested, but… she’s quite intriguing.”
Cynthia and I paused and looked at each other – it was Blaze and his friend.
However, they had their backs to us and were mostly blocked by a row of drinks, so they didn’t notice Cynthia and me.
Chaprer ne
“During the auction, I saw you were also quite interested in that gentle beauty next to Cynthia. That lady is probably still in the hall now – aren’t you going to say hello?
1 hadn’t expected their conversation to suddenly turn to me.
Before I could react, Cynthia raised her eyebrows and was about to pull me over to play matchmaker, when Blaze shook his head and said disinterestedly. “No.”
Cynthia paused.
“Hm? What’s wrong? Not interested?”
Blaze: “Mm. That beauty is indeed pretty, but… she looks gentle and quiet with no personality, and I suddenly find it uninteresting.”
“You mean she can’t compare to Ashley’s allure?”
“You clearly became more interested in Ashley after chatting with her just now. With something better available, you don’t want the previous one anymore.”
“That’s really not it, it’s just—”
Blaze paused, seeming to consider how to explain, when his friend said again: “But honestly, Ashley’s proud and cold beauty is indeed more stimulating and makes you want to conquer her more.”
“Moreover, since Ashley appeared in the circle, quite a few people in the circle have been interested in her, even infatuated. It’s just a pity she’s Ferris’s woman. I have to say, Ferris has excellent taste in women.”
Cynthia’s smile froze, then her face darkened. She wanted to go over and teach those two men who casually discussed others a lesson, but I held her back.
I shook my head and said calmly. “It’s okay.”
I might be ordinary, but I am who I am.
I know what kind of person I am. Whether strangers like me or not isn’t that important to me.
After Blaze and his friend finished talking and drinking their water, they put down their cups and left.
Cynthia was furious: “I used to think Blaze was quite interesting, but I didn’t expect even he would be captivated by Ashley!”
As she spoke, her expression suddenly turned cold.
I followed her gaze and saw Ashley standing not far away to the side.
I didn’t know when she had arrived, but seeing Ashley’s curved lips, both Cynthia and I felt that Ashley had probably heard Blaze and his friend’s conversation
- 100.
Seeing us look over, Ashley’s smile deepened, but she didn’t speak. She gave me a cold, disdainful look, then turned and left with her cup.
“Damn!”
Cynthia became even angrier, wanting to immediately go tear Ashley apart!
“She’s just a mistress’s daughter, and she’s also a mistress herself. What is she so proud of! Some heartthrob! I think she’s just a piece of sh*t!”
I poured her another cup of water and asked: “What heartthrob?”
Cynthia was stunned: “Haven’t you heard the rumors about her in the circle?”
This piqued my curiosity: “What rumors?”
