The Start of the Auction

However, without any concrete evidence, all of this was just Caroline's own guess. That was why Caroline hid some details when Mr. Hall asked about the situation. She claimed that Vivian appeared and helped her escape from danger.

Caroline's thoughts were simple. If Vivian's target was really her, then no matter who was behind Vivian or what her purpose was, Vivian would still try to get close to her.

Now that Joline mentioned the Smith family, she was able to face it calmly.

She patted Caroline's hand. "You just need to remember one thing. In my heart, only the three of you are the most important."

In other words, she wanted Caroline to not be too reserved and not care too much about other people's feelings, even if she was facing the Smith family.

"Alright, let's go to the auction."

The auction had already begun. The host's hammer fell, and he announced that the second item had been successfully bid for at a price of 6.9 million.
