Whitney Collins was biting her nails angrily, completely disregarding her usual ladylike demeanor.

Who was that woman, and why was she appearing next to Matthew when Whitney was the only one who was allowed to be by his side?

Not to mention, the person responsible for arranging the seating this time must have been a fool. Why would they place her seat so far away from Matthew's when they grew up together? They should have seated her closer to him.

She would have to talk to Madam Leon when she got back. The person responsible for the seating today was done for!

With those thoughts in mind, Whitney stood up from her seat with the intention of walking over to Matthew.

She did not care what anyone said. Matthew belonged to her, so she should be the one sitting beside him.

However, the auction suddenly began, so Whitney had no choice but to sit back down. She would draw too much attention if she left her seat while everyone was bidding.
