Chapter 43:

The air inside felt heavy. Khloe glanced at Henrik and, breaking the quiet, asked, “Where are we going?” Henrik kept his focus on the road, his voice low as he answered, “To an auction.”

The car pulled up to the venue not long after, and a staff member was waiting to usher them through the exclusive VIP entrance.
