She was kind to everyone and devoted to her husband. And she was perfectly content to spend the rest of her life like that, even though she was constantly nagged about getting pregnant. That was until her husband entered their house with a mistress by his side and eventually demanded a divorce.

She then looked at Richard and frowned, "Think of all the potential business partners you might lose because of this childish feud. Both of you should stop this instant. The goal of this benefit is to gather money for people in need, not to fight one another."

"Well," suddenly, another person stepped in, his low voice mixed with a foreign accent made everyone turn their attention to him. Einar's face was still shining with a smug and somewhat mocking grin, "This is the silent auction after all. I would pay good money to see how this situation unfolds. What a dramatic sight indeed."
