Julia was wearing a blue, shimmering satin gown, with jewelry that dazzled, and paired with her stunning looks, she was undoubtedly the most eye–catching woman at the auction

grandmother.

Maggie wasn’t surprised. She thought of the banquet and the tech exhibition, where Franklin had ignored her the whole time.

As she was lost in thought, the auction was about to begin. The host took the stage, and the room quickly fell silent.

Maggie had already carefully reviewed the auction list for tonight.
