Chapter 44: The Rules of the Auction House

Despite being angry, Wesley glanced at his abdomen.

He began to doubt himself.

Was his figure really that bad?

Before becoming a vegetable, he used to work out every day. Although he didn’t have six–pack abs, he was well–toned.

But now he was mocked by Sandra.

Sandra even clicked her tongue.

“Honestly, your physique is not as good as the workers see on the mountain.”

Wesley was furious.

He punched the water.

Splashes flew everywhere.

Sandra looked at the steam rising from the wet ground and sighed helplessly.

Now you’re even venting your frustration on water. Quite impressive.”

After saying that, she took two steps back.

Wesley emerged from the water.

And he wasn’t even wearing anything.

He just stood there naked.

Sandra remained unfazed.

She showed no emotion as if she was used to it.

She didn’t even comment.

Wesley’s frown deepened.

He was so pissed off by this damn woman!

He would find a chance to get back at her!

He took a deep breath and started putting on his clothes slowly.

Sandra must have done it on purpose.

His acupoints still throbbed with pain.

As he put on clothes, he felt as if he was being tortured.

“Mr. Cooper, you’re not even quick at getting dressed.

A hint of disdain flashed across Sandra’s face.

Then she pointed at her watch.

“Does it really take this long to get dressed?”

Wesley was speechless.

Sandra let out a sigh.

“Mr. Cooper, if you were out doing business or enjoying leisure time with clients and they left while you were still getting dressed, you might end up being caught just like Mr. Baxter Cooper,”

Sandra imagined that scene and found it quite amusing

However, she still advised him.

“If that day ever comes, I hope you won’t tell anyone that I’m your wife. You can have Leo and Joey come to pick you up.

She pressed her lips.

“You are the weakest patient I have ever treated.”

Wesley almost shook with ange

“Don’t you know why I’m like this?”

Sandra tilted her head. “I’m all ears.”

She acted like she was innocent.

clenched his fists.

“I don’t want a fight.”

He calmly walked over.

Sandra chuckled. “Then what do you want?”

Wesley raised an eyebrow, “It’s time for us to go to bed

He spaced the words for emphasis.

But Sandra didn’t get the point.

“Go ahead. I have other plans for tonight,” Sandra replied.

When Wesley got close, his hot breath hit her face.

She felt something weird.

Sandra had spent over a decade on the mountain with her master, and she had never lost her composure.

This change made her take a strong interest in Wesley.

Of course, not in a romantic way.

She remembered her master saying that she couldn’t achieve enlightenment because her worldly attachments were unresolved.

However, she didn’t know what worldly attachments were

Her master had said that if there was a man capable of causing a drastic change in her state of mind, then it was a worldly attachment.

Sandra stared at Wesley, her eyes filled with radiance.

In her eyes, Wesley was no longer just a patient.

He could help her achieve enlightenment.

“What are you going to do?”

Wesley questioned.

He hadn’t even realized that his heart was pounding.

He felt a hint of anger spreading through his body.

He could barely control himself.

Before Sandra could answer, Joey knocked on the door

“Mr. Cooper, someone’s here to see Mrs. Cooper.”

Wesley asked impatiently, “Who is it?”

“Someone from the auction house.”

Wesley frowned slightly.

The people from the auction house were always very mysterious and would only meet others on their

own turf.

Some high–level members even went out in disguise.

Now, someone from the auction house came to the Cooper Villa.

What was going on?

Wesley glanced at Sandra, who seemed to have anticipated it.

Wesley got an idea.

“I see. Serve him tea and tell him to wait a minute.”

Joey quickly went downstairs.

Sandra smiled before changing her clothes. “He will lose sleep tonight if he has the tea.”

Wesley narrowed his eyes. “It doesn’t matter. So, what are you going to do?”

Sandra retorted, “We agreed to stay out of each other’s way when we signed the agreement.”

Wesley was at a loss for words.

“Goodnight, Mr. Cooper. I have some work to do!”

After saying that, Sandra turned to leave.

She didn’t give Wesley any time to ask questions.

The person from the auction house who came to the Cooper Villa was their manager

The man appeared to be in his forties or fifties with fair skin and gold–rimmed glasses.

He wore a well–fitted suit, giving off an elegant aura.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cooper. My name is Carl Tanner. Please accept this gift.”

Carl spoke in a gentle tone.

He presented the gift with sincerity.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t be able to refuse the top–grade emerald in his hand.

However, Sandra didn’t even spare a glance at the emerald.

“You might as well cut to the chase.”

She walked over and sat on the sofa.

She appeared leisurely and graceful.

Carl could tell that she had received excellent training as her every move exuded a noble aura.

He dared not be disrespectful.

“Mrs. Cooper, you have a good sense of humor.”

Sandra snorted, “I don’t have much time. If you continue to beat around the bush, I might as well go back to bed.”

Carl sounded somewhat embarrassed.

“Well, here’s the thing..

He took back the gift but appeared even more respectful.

“Mrs. Cooper, do you remember the jade pendant you acquired during the auction?”

Sandra frowned. “Not really.”

Carl panicked.

It had just been a few hours!

How could Sandra forget?

He could only take a deep breath and suppress his anger.

“Mrs. Cooper, please think about it carefully. This pendant is of great importance to us.”
