Auction hall.

Amelia Clarke held the bidding paddle, hooking onto Owen Moreland's arm as they entered.

By this time, the venue was already filled with quite a few people because the auction mainly featured exquisite jewelry and jade accessories, attracting wealthy matrons from all parts—both Eastern and Western—as well as tycoons accompanied by young and beautiful lovers.

Amelia's gaze swept around unnoticed, noting that everyone was dressed rather formally, no wonder Owen had reminded her to change into something more formal.

As the two approached their seats, just as they were about to sit down…

"Mr. Moreland, what a coincidence, you've also brought a little lover to buy jewelry?" A man in his forties with a sizeable belly and a thick neck, looking very greasy, stood up from a seat toward the front left side of the aisle. He spoke loudly, his words blunt and showy, immediately drawing several sideways glances.
