Janine sighed and looked at the painting quietly.
There were two double-winged fireflies on it, representing Xyla and Rowan. The forest that was the background was where they usually dated.
It would be unnecessary if Xyla were to see it and be reminded of the sad past.
That was why Janine did not plan to buy the painting. She wanted to raise the bidding price to donate more money to charity. It would be the best this painting could do.
“Never mind, Cordelia…” She forced a smile. “Actually… Actually, I asked your mom, and she didn’t want to come.”
“Oh.” Cordelia nodded in a daze and put down her phone.
“This was her creation in youth. She doesn’t like it. Oh yeah, don’t bring this up to her when you go back, lest she overthinks it and thinks of the past.”
Cordelia quickly replied, “Mm, I understand!”
Although she could not share it with her mother, she felt proud to see her mother’s painting being auctioned today.
“Our honorable guests, the auction will start soon!”
The host stood on stage and introduced with a lively voice, “The first auction piece, The Fireflies’ Light!”
There was already someone bidding for it below the stage. Cordelia looked at Janine, and the latter responded with an encouraging smile. “Raise your bid paddle!”
“$300,000!”
The host smiled. “Alright, $300,000 by this lady over here! Any more bids?”
“$450,000!” The voice was shrill.
Cordelia turned over to see Nelly smirking provocatively at her.
“It’s fine.” Janine smirked. “Just keep bidding against her and lose to her in the final round!”
Cordelia understood immediately and raised her paddle again. “$750,000!”
