Chapter 178 Love Could Change

Two evenings later, as the Cameron family’s troubles stirred gossip, an auction unfolded in an Aquapolis- auction house.

Maggie and Mia arrived and briefly surveyed the auction items.

Since the event hadn’t officially begun, all items were presented in transparent cases with professional lighting and secured locks.

Maggie and Mia walked around the hall. After confirming that the auction had the music score and vintage fan Maggie desired, they aimed to secure seats with better views.

However, after taking just a few steps, they encountered a familiar face.

Beth, donned in a pink asymmetrical dress and holding a wine glass, directed someone while glancing around the display cases.

Upon spotting Maggie, Beth’s demeanor cooled a notch.

In that moment, Emma rushed over. “Beth, I spotted a pen I think Ericko would like. Please reserve it for

me.”

Beth remained silent initially, and Emma realized her blunder upon following Beth’s gaze to Maggie and Mia.

“Oh, look. The Camerons‘ princess has graced us with her presence amidst their difficulties. I wonder if the Camerons will ever repay their debts,” Emma quipped, her sarcasm evident.

She had shoulder–length hair, which made her look chic.

Maggie smirked and retorted, “Ms. Holland, you seem to worry a lot despite your young age. No wonder you appear more mature than our peers.”

With that remark, Emma’s ire flared. “Maggie, you’re just a foster daughter of the Camerons. They’re on the verge of bankrupt, yet you still have the audacity to say such things here?”

Unperturbed, Maggie met Emma’s gaze with a slight smile. “Even if the Camerons are facing problems, it’s still better than the Hollands, who’ve been reduced to begging these past few years. Do you think the Hollands have made a comeback? Or do you believe that being a trophy wife, with your achievements merely bought with money, secures your future?”

Emma seethed with anger at Maggie’s words and nearly lost her composure as she trembled with fury.

Maggie maintained her smile, her eyes filled with open disdain and mockery. Her expression made Emma wish
