‘I always thought the one in the Turner family who couldn’t keep it together would be Lucia since she made the biggest fuss last time.’

Downstairs, the auction had already kicked off. Natasha leaned on her hand, eyeing the item. It was a pair of antique emerald earrings.

Alexei glanced over. “If you see something you like, just bid for it. But nothing here is worth it tonight. Next time, I’ll take you to a proper auction.”

Natasha grinned. “Don’t blame me if I go wild, then.”

Alexei shrugged. “Suit yourself.”

If Lisa were there, she’d point out that the emerald hairpin Natasha wore with her pale blue handmade dress was probably worth more than everything being auctioned tonight.

Anyway, Alexei was a big spender. Natasha had long stopped being surprised by it.

Too bad Natasha was so pampered. Lisa’s dream of recruiting her as her bestie’s model was a lost cause.

Still, Lisa felt that she could give it a shot and invite Natasha to the next show.

Though Natasha had Alexei’s permission, she didn’t rush to make a move.

The auction hall was circular, with all the VIP boxes on the second floor and most of the windows left open.

She glanced out the window, scanning for any familiar faces.

The twins from the Turner family were probably just there to have some fun with their

They’d been eager to please Natasha carlier, but with Alexei by her side, they didn’t dare get too friendly.

Now, they were just helping their parents bid a few times, huddled together and whispering about something.

Lucia was there with her husband’s family, the Estrada family. Her son, Wally Estrada, looked like a mouse spotting a cat when he saw Natasha.

At that family dinner, he’d only glanced at her a few times. Not only did Natasha splash drink in his eyes, but the next day, he got mysteriously roughed up.

Whoever did it left no trace. He couldn’t even get back at anyone.

Now, seeing these two scary troublemakers, he didn’t even dare look at them.
