Chapter 96:

The area outside the auction venue was buzzing with excitement, and the parking lot was filled with all sorts of high-end vehicles.

Derek and Madeline got out of their sleek, black luxury vehicle and made their way onto the red carpet. Derek noticed several influential figures from Glophia mingling outside the auction, including a few business associates he had previously collaborated with.

Madeline’s parents had also been invited and were just stepping out of their car.

“Madeline!” Rhoda called out with a bright smile upon spotting Madeline and Derek. “I had no idea you two were coming to the auction as well. Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?”

Dressed in exquisite formal attire, Caen and Rhoda exuded an air of sophistication, despite their daughter being embroiled in a scandal.

Caen approached and exchanged pleasantries with Derek. Clasping Rhoda’s hand, Madeline said, “I wanted it to be a surprise. Are you pleased to see us?”

Rhoda smiled warmly and replied, “I’m feeling great. It’s been ages since we last got together. How have things been with you? Did Derek and Norah finalize their divorce?”

Madeline went silent all of a sudden, not responding.

Caen kept a serious face but refrained from lecturing his daughter. He looked at Derek and said, “Derek, it’s time to take responsibility. Without finalizing the divorce, Madeline will get a bad reputation.”

“It’s unfair for Madeline to face such gossip while she’s with you,” Caen said, his voice filled with concern. “Rhoda and I hate seeing her caught up in this mess.”

Rhoda gently squeezed Madeline’s hand, showing her worry. “You mentioned last time that the paperwork would be wrapped up quickly. Why is it still not done? Is Norah intentionally not getting the divorce?”
