Orion bid again, raising the price to 215 thousand.
He glanced slightly in Seraphina's direction.
Seraphina's focus was not on him but on the brooch. She was gazing at it with a somewhat dreamy longing
Without hesitation, Seraphina raised her paddle and called out, "300 thousand."
"300 thousand, once, the auctioneer announced.
"300 thousand, twice."
The auctioneer paused, dragging it out for a few seconds, hoping Orion would compete.
The room was silent.
But to everyone's disappointment, Orion withdrew his gaze and didn't continue bidding.
If she liked it that much, he might as well let her have it.
"300 thousand, three times," the auctioneer finalised, bringing down the gavel.
The crowd was shocked. Had Orion given up so easily?
The show they had anticipated ended dully.
Seraphina huffed. It shouldn't have cost this much, but Orion had unnecessarily made her spend an extra 150 thousand. He must have done it on purpose. She stood up briskly to pay for and collect the item.
Albert followed by her side.
No one noticed someone else trailing behind them.

Seraphina looked at the brooch, then handed it to Albert.
"For you," she said.
Albert was stunned, his eyes widening in surprise.
"For me?"
She gave me a brooch worth 300 thousand just like that.
Seraphina nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for accompanying me to the auction. It's a small token of appreciation; don't be polite."
Thank you. Ms. Cross, but I can't accept this.
"But to me, only you are worthy of this brooch."

Anyone who can give up everything for their dream must have a sacred place in their heart.
Hearing a commotion outside and heavy footsteps receding, neither of them paid much attention.
Albert was about to refuse again. Seraphina hesitated briefly and said, "If you don't like it, someone else." Just then, Sarah and Justin entered, one after the other
Sarah smiled and said, "I saw Orion storm out. Was there an argument?" Albert shook his head in confusion. He explained, "No, no one came in." Seraphina remembered and understood the heavy footsteps from earlier. She didn't think much of it.
Sarah took her hand and said, "Come on! Let's get something to eat." Seraphina nodded. She waved to Albert and followed Sarah out,
"Orion backing down for you was unexpected.

ou can give it to
Seraphina sneered and asked, "Do you think he'd let others have it? He was clearly raising the price on purpose.
Sarah nodded in agreement. That made sense!
Not far away, a group of actresses surrounded Jane, laughing and flattering her.
As the daughter of an entertainment mogul, she naturally received much
praise.
After all, a single word from her could make or break their careers.
When Jane saw Seraphina approaching, her temper flared.
She immediately resorted to sarcasm.
"Ms. Cross, you really don't mind spending money on a man. But how do you do it? You seem to have a different man by your side every time."
Jane mocked her chaotic love life.
The people around them gave awkward smiles but didn't dare to agree.
Seraphina's status was not something they could afford to offend!
Seraphina smiled, dazzling and radiant. Just standing there, she outshoned all the minor celebrities who lived under the spotlight.
"I was born beautiful, but it seems that's something you can't achieve.
She intentionally looked at Jane with regret, scrutinising her surgically altered features. Truth be told, Jane's current appearance is quite beautiful. After all, she modelled it after a top Hollywood star.

But compared to Seraphina, it still fell short.
Jane's temper flared at Seraphina's sarcasm.
She hated when people brought up her surgeries.
"Seraphina, don't think that just because you are Emeris's daughter, I would be afraid of you!
"You're just good-looking.
"Do you think Orion would have noticed you three years ago if you didn't have your looks?"
Orion's name was a sensitive topic for Seraphina.
Sarah quickly retorted when Seraphina's expression changed.

Jane, remember how you confessed three years ago? How did you end up getting surgery after failing? Could it be... Orion found you unbearably ugly?"
Jane's complexion changed dramatically. It seemed like Sarah had hit the mark. Jane trembled with rage.
Her surgically enhanced eyes glared so fiercely that it seemed like her eyeballs might pop out!
"Bullshit! You're the ugly ones! Both of you!"
She grabbed a drink and flung it at Seraphina.
Seraphina was quick. She pulled Sarah aside, dodging in time.
However...
Ken, standing nearby, spoke anxiously.
"Mr. Dros, are you alright? Do you have to change your clothes?"
