After all, the both of them were of equal status. It really depended on what mood they were in. If they

were in a good mood, they’d obliged and pay their respects. However, if they weren’t, they’d avoid each

other like the plague.

Alvina Rufford must have been born under a lucky star or something. She was beautiful, no doubt

about it, but besides that she was from an unremarkable family and had an ordinary background. Yet,

Simon, the second son from the Fest branch family, was enamored by her. She married up and from

then on, lived a blessed life.

Coincidentally, the person who introduced her to Simon was also someone related to Jayden Mondez.

That person was stabbed by Jacob.

This was also why Jacob suspected that Alvina had something to do with Naeve’s death.

Best friend, Mondez family, Alvina Rufford…

His eyes flashed with understanding.

On table two, Yuna narrowed her eyes at table three. Her red lip twisted into a smirk, “My son deserves

that jade gourd. 1.2 million!”

Simon glared at her taunt. He was about to raise his paddle and a slim hand reached out to stop him.

Alvina, looking angelic in a snow-white evening gown, shook her head at her husband. “Why stoop to

her level for a jade pendant?”

“The jade gourd is an auspicious item. It’ll be great if we could win it for our daughter!” Simon’s eyes

softened at the thought of his young daughter at home.

He lifted his paddle. “1.5 million!”

On table one, the chairman for Paramount Consortium cracked a joke at Benny, “Benny, my old boy,

why aren’t you bidding? Aren’t you afraid the youngsters will raise the bar too high?”

“Haha! The higher the better!” Benny chortled. “It is a charity auction after all. The higher they raise the

price, the more people will benefit from it! I’ll just sit and watch the show!”

“Benny, you are a sly one!” The middle aged man gave him a thumbs up.

Sitting next to Benny, Willow smiled without a word. She was happy just watching it all go down.

“Hmph! It’s on!” Yuna gritted her teeth. She almost seemed to shoot lasers out of her eyes. “Two

million!”

As soon as she yelled out her offer, the hall was filled with buzzing.

The other guests were excited to see them pit their wealth against each other.

On table twelve, Moira glared at Jonah in annoyance. She turned to Jerry and said, “Why aren’t you

bidding? It’s gone up to two million!”

Her eyes flickered to Jonah when she mentioned the two million.

Jerry raised a brow at her and smirked, “I’m letting them duke it out for now.”

As for the two million, it was petty change for Jerry Locker, head of the Shadow Guard and leader of

the Scarlet Dragons. It wouldn’t be any problem for him, even if they were to add another zero to the

number.

On table three, Alvina held her husband’s hand gently but firmly. “You’re not a child anymore. Why are

you acting this way?”

“Hmph! I just can’t stand the thought of someone else showing off their wealth in front of me!” Simon

spat in disgust.

Even though he was annoyed, under the gentle stare of his wife, he reined himself in from warring

against them.

An elder from the Fest branch family saw all this go down. He nodded with satisfaction. Good job

Simon, for marrying such a gracious wife. Although she was from humble beginnings, she was wise

beyond her years. She knew how to handle Simon, that stubborn bull.

Realizing that Simon had stopped bidding against her, Yuna smiled smugly.

But before she could bask in her victory, someone called out, “Three million.”
