Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 167 Jasper felt his knees go weak and instinctively took a small step back.

That look. He already knew what was coming for him.

Miranda noticed Jasper's subtle reaction too. Was this the look of someone caught cheating by their spouse?

Miranda glanced over in the direction Jasper was looking but only caught the fleeting shadow of someone disappearing into the crowd, leaving her with nothing to identify. Yet, that shadow seemed oddly familiar. Jasper cleared his throat. "Hey Miranda, if anyone asks later, just say you wanted to come here initiatively, okay?"

Miranda was curious. Was Jasper afraid of someone? Could it be that he scared of his mother checking up on him?

Just then, the auction kicked off. One by one, items were brought up for bidding, and the guests eagerly threw in their bids.

The bidding was fierce, far edgier than any formal auction, boiled down to the essence: highest bidder wins.

Jasper couldn't help but remark, "This is so much more exciting than those charity auctions. You never know, some of these folks might seem ordinary but could be here bidding on behalf of some big shot. I hear they even hire experts just to find treasures for them, and the commission alone is pretty hefty." Jasper was well-acquainted with high society; for him to be this impressed, these behind-the-scenes players had to be quite formidable.

Miranda glanced sideways. "What about that guy?"

Jasper followed Miranda's gaze, his expression stiffening slightly, his eyes darkening as he subtly pulled Miranda aside.

A man in a black suit was strolling past them. The cut and simplicity of his suit only served to accentuate his air of wealth and power, but there was a dark, dangerous edge to it that sent chills down one's spine. With a subdued voice, Jasper whispered his reply in Miranda's ear. "His bodyguards behind look like they've seen some action. This man mustn't be from this country. I don't recognize him, but he seems to have a big reputation."
