Chapter 750: There Are So Many Vixens Today!
Upon seeing Olive, Eleanor and Franklinโs eyes lit up. โYo, who is this? Isnโt this President Augustineโs ex-lover, the woman who was just abandoned?โ Eleanor eyed Oliveโs beautiful face enviously. It was far more beautiful than her daughterโs. โIf only my daughter were this beautiful!โ she mused. Then, angrily, she declared, โWhy are you at this auction? Do you even have any money? Augustine gave you money before, but now that heโs abandoned you, heโs cut you off. My daughter is his new love now. She treats him very well, and he even gave us his card to spend as we please.โ Eleanor slapped a bank card onto the coffee table, displaying it to Olive.
Annabelle frowned, observing the interaction. โOlive, who are they, and what are they saying? I donโt understand.โ How could her son have a new love without her, as a mother, knowing? If he did, sheโd break his leg! Olive winked playfully at Annabelle, whispering, โAunty Annabelle, ignore them; theyโre lunatics.โ
Eleanor and Franklin then turned their attention to Annabelle. Eleanor sneered, โWho is she? Judging by her appearance, she must be another vixen.โ Olive was astonished; the Scotts hadn't even allowed her to introduce Elvisโs mother.
A charming voice interrupted, โAnnabelle, Olive, why are you all here?โ It was Joyce.
โMummy!โ Olive exclaimed sweetly.
โJoyce, what are you doing at the auction? Buying something?โ Annabelle asked curiously, not having seen Joyce recently due to her busy career launching a new restaurant.
โShh,โ Joyce hushed, placing a finger to her lips. โIโm looking for the secret of the arena. I came to buy it, so letโs be quiet so nobody steals it.โ
โThe secrets of the arena? Whatโs that?โ Annabelle questioned.
โItโsโฆ that kind of secret bookโฆโ Joyce stammered, blinking repeatedly.
Annabelle remained clueless. Olive rested her forehead on her hand; she suspected the โsecret bookโ was nothing serious. โMummy, stop, donโt confuse Aunty Annabelle,โ she said.
Joyce blinked charmingly, then laughed. โItโs not me who broke the gem; itโs that old fox, Alpha.โ
Suddenly, a commotion erupted. โLook!โ someone shouted.
Olive, Joyce, and Annabelle looked up as the auction doors swung open, revealing a familiar figure. Damien, impeccably dressed in a black suit, vest, and white shirt, exuded an aura of power and authority that instantly captivated everyone's attention. His personal secretary, Reuben, followed behind him.
Joyce hadn't seen Damien since their last encounter at the clubhouse. โOlive, why is your father here? To buy something?โ she asked.
Oliveโs bright eyes fixed on Damien as the auction house manager rushed to greet him. She knew her father wasn't a buyer; he owned the place. Maintaining eye contact with her mother, she lied, โMummy, I donโt know why Daddyโs here.โ
Joyce dismissed the matter. โForget it. I donโt care about him. Olive, Annabelle, letโs sit in that box.โ She gestured toward a luxurious room near Eleanor and Franklin.
Eleanor and Franklin also saw Damien, his impressive entrance undeniable. Their eyes lit up; Damienโs prestige as the son of the imperial capital was unmatched. Having already encountered Elvis, they now saw Damien, instantly regretting not having more daughters.
They glared at Joyce. Eleanor snapped, โYou cheap vixen!โ
Joyce smiled, โThank you for the compliment!โ
She then leaned in to Olive, whispering, โOlive, isnโt that couple Naomiโs parents?โ Olive didn't question her motherโs knowledge; Nathan often spent time with Joyce and shared everything.
โYes,โ Olive confirmed.
Joyce smirked, โInteresting. Iโll tease them later.โ Olive silently offered a moment of sympathy for Eleanor and Franklin, knowing they were about to face Joyceโs retribution.
The auction began. Olive bid two hundred thousand. Eleanor and Franklin, from the next room, outbid her, snatching the agate stone for three hundred thousand.
