Seeing that Brie had finally written down her name, Caroline felt the satisfaction she’d

anticipated. She turned to Gwen and said, “Gwen, let’s go.”

Heartily, Gwen agreed. Before walking past Brie, she said to her, “Thank you, Ms. Collins, for being so magnanimous.” It made Brie so pissed that she flung the pen at the ground.

After leaving the auction house, Gwen hooked an arm around Caroline’s and said, “Cardi, you were so cool just now! I think I’m going to start fangirling over you!”

“You’re exaggerating!” came Caroline’s reply.

“It’s true!” exclaimed Gwen.

“Brie always mocked you in the past. You told me before that the Morrisons and the Collins were close, and you had to bear with her because you didn’t want to make things ugly between them
