On the weekend, at the Solana Auction House.

A crowd of journalists gathered outside the venue. They had to wait outside to protect the privacy of the wealthy. Those who joined the event were genuine antique collectors and investment bankers.

They were here for business and not to seek media exposure like celebrities. They weren’t interested in interviews. They only focused on valuable treasures for auction–except for Sophia, Rosaline, and Liana.

Every year, Sophia would attend the event in her best attire. She would turn the high–end charity auction into a red carpet–moment for her. She would block the entrance and let the media take photos. She would only leave after being persuaded by the staff, looking disgruntled.

It seemed she feared people might forget she was the washed–up star who had climbed to a higher status by breaking up someone else’s family over two decades ago.

That led to Javier not attending the event personally for the past two years. Presumably, he felt it would tarnish his reputation.

However, Sophia decided not to repeat the same old act this year. After all, Rosaline had repeatedly begged her to give up this limelight and let her and Liana take the stage together. They were family. She couldn’t refuse despite her reluctance.

So this year, it was the Gardners who stood at the entrance and caught everyone’s attention.

“As representatives of the Gardner family, we hope to acquire exceptional collections in this auction and contribute to charity,” Rosaline said elegantly, putting on a classy demeanor as she spoke in front of the gathered journalists.
