Initially, Janet did not want to draw any attention to herself since she was back in Markovia. However, she was backed into a corner since she bumped into such snobbish and bold Markovians.
The eyes of the receptionist gleamed brightly when she saw the Black Card on the counter. Oh, my God! I can’t believe that’s a Black Card!
There are less than ten people in the world with this kind of Black Card. I wonder who this girl in front of me is. She must be some president’s young wife… I wonder what type of charm she possesses for a president to be willing to hand her a Black Card.
The sleazy middle-aged man and the woman clad in gold standing beside her were both stumped to silence.
This young lady doesn’t seem like a wealthy person. How could she possibly brandish a Black Card so easily?
The sleazy middle-aged man turned around hastily to leave in a hurry because he was wary of offending someone powerful and influential.
It’s too easy for a powerful person like that to get me into trouble.
Seeing his lover leaving in a rush, the woman in gold ran after him in a hurry while calling for him in a sweet voice, “Dear, wait up!”
That night, just when Janet was getting ready to leave for the underground auction, she received a text message from Abby. Due to the time difference, morning classes had already commenced at Sandfort City at that time.
Abby: ‘Janet, why aren’t you in school today?’
Janet: ‘Please do me a favor and apply leave on my behalf, thank you.’
Abby was rendered speechless and looked puzzled. Yesterday, Janet did not mention that she isn’t attending classes today.
Nevertheless, Abby agreed to help her anyway. ‘Sure.’
After replying Abby’s text, Janet received a text message from Mason.
‘Good morning. Remember to have breakfast.’
Janet was stumped to silence while reading the text message and she was felt bewildered.
This is a first for a man to send me such a text message, and I don’t think I’m used to it.
‘Mm-hmm, got it.’ Janet replied to his text message casually.
She blinked several times and felt as if something was missing when she stared at her simple message. Hence, she added: ‘You too.’
After that, she kept her phone in her bag and made her way to the underground auction.
Mason, who was far away in Sandfort City, was having a morning meeting at the Lowry Family Conglomerate.
His sensual lips curled into a smile, and he stared at Janet’s text message in delight.
Red Python, White Python, Black Python and Richard were stunned.
What has happened to Young Master Mason during the time we were away from Sandfort City? It looks like we have to find a time to question Mr. Sean.
………
The underground auction was a massive one and there were hundreds of seats. Janet picked a random seat to wait patiently for the appearance of the alchemy furnace.
However, unbeknownst to her, someone had already noticed her from a secluded corner the moment she entered the auction venue.
“Mr. Silva, Janet is truly useless. How dare she show up here alone? Furthermore, she looks unfazed. Who gave her the courage?!”
An eerie grin stretched across Damien’s face.
Who would have thought that Janet would lose the ability to think critically after leaving Morris? I can’t believe she isn’t aware that I set up this trap!
Janet had her eyes closed while she rested in silence. Suddenly, she felt eyes on her, and she even sensed danger around her. Janet immediately became alert, and she looked in the direction where she felt the gaze.
However, she found nothing after glancing around.
Coincidentally, a hostess approached Janet out of nowhere while smiling sweetly. “Madam, the auction house prepared this beauty tea specifically for our female guests.”
“Thank you.” Janet shot her an indifferent look before closing her eyes again.
Time passed by, and the auction finally started. With that, the audience quietened down and all eyes were fixed on the treasures in the auction.
A middle-aged man then walked slowly toward the middle of the auction venue with a restrained smile etched across his face. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure that you are all feeling impatient. The auction starts officially now!”
“We are auctioning off a lot of things today, so please start bidding as soon as possible. The starting price for each item is 10 million, and the increment of each bid must be no less than 1 million!”
