Nelly stood rooted angrily.
The auction began, and the guests eventually got seated.
Zephyr and Cordelia sat at the frontmost VIP seats while Rowan did not make a public appearance. He found a
suitable spot on the second floor, and its angle allowed him to look down and catch Cordelia’s side profile.
Nelly noticed it and was even more convinced that the old lecher, Rowan Irwin, had eyes for Cordelia! He had never
spoken a word to Cordelia before, but he defended her so much!
Meanwhile, Nelly had spent the whole night talking to him, yet she could not compare to that b*tch…
Nelly had rage boiling in her and did not even go to her seat. She went to a corner to make a call.
“Where’s Kelly Tanner?” The resentment in her voice was hardly hidden. She took a deep breath and sounded
vicious. “Hah, tell her that her big sister will pay her a visit when she’s done with this auction!”
“Ms. Nelly, but…” The servant on the other end of the line sounded frantic.

“No, Ms. Nelly!” The servant was panicking. “Ms. Kelly, she’s… She’s gone!”
Nelly nearly dropped her phone.
“What?” She questioned almost hysterically after a beat of silence, “What do you mean she’s gone?!”
“T-This afternoon, Ms. Kelly said that she wanted to get some sun, so the nurse wheeled her out. Then she said she
wanted to look at the cars in the garage, so the nurse wheeled her there without thinking much about it. Then…
Then she was gone!”
The servant was stumbling over their words, and Nelly was bewildered listening to them. Despite that, she knew
from what the servant said that Kelly had gone missing this afternoon. It was when she was getting ready to come
to the auction…
Could Kelly be hiding in her car!?
Nelly calmed herself down. “Send more people to look for her! Do dad and mom know about this?”
“Mr. and Mrs. Tanner flew to Asperia this morning. I heard it’s for financing the company or something. They said
that they’ll be there for one to two months!”
Nelly breathed out in relief. This meant that she would have time to look around.
The first place of suspicion was this auction! It was highly possible that Kelly had hidden in her car while no one was
watching and escaped!

Josiah muttered curses under his breath as he opened the door to the dressing room.
This auction was incredibly boring. All he could do was drink a little during the event, yet he wore a pair of white
pants today! He got careless when he raised the glass, and the red wine spilled on them.
He was lucky that the Bayers had always been meticulous, so pants of various colors were already prepared for him
in the male dressing room.
Josiah took off his pants, staying in a pair of briefs after he entered the room. He hummed a song and rummaged

“Ahh!” Josiah stumbled back, flailing his arms in shock.
The person was the same, staring at him in terror and with a pale face.
Josiah was stunned for more than ten seconds. Those seconds felt as long as centuries.
He scrutinized the person. It was a pale and weak girl like she was very ill as she coughed occasionally. She covered
her mouth unconsciously when she did to prevent herself from making any noise.
All Josiah could be certain of was that the girl was really gorgeous… so beautiful that she did not seem like she was
from this world.
He crouched down. Like how Ginger at Cordelia’s place would act before catching a bird, he approached the girl
slowly and observed her carefully, asking softly, “Who… are you?”
The girl was silent. Her eyes were still widened, the big eyes looking extremely out of proportion on her small face.
“Do you not know that this is a male dressing room?”
The girl pressed her lips together and kept her eyes on him.
Josiah looked down as well… Immediately, he felt like lightning had struck him. His chaotic mind went blank right
away.
