Chapter 397
“Mrs. Martin Senior just went to the auction. She asked you and Joe to join her there.”
After hanging up. Skylar drove toward the auction. She know the location from a previous visit, but the traffic was heavy then, so she turned on the navigation.
As she drove, she wondered why Gloria suddenly decided to go to the auction. While she was wondering, Joe called.
“I’ll be at the auction in ten minutes. How much longer will you take?”
Skylar glanced at the navigation, which showed a little over ten minutes. After telling Joe the approximate time, he said they would enter together once she arrived.

merely his companion. But today,
The last time she attended an auction with Joe, others thought she was with Gloria present, she would be known as Gloria’s granddaughter–in–law.
She wondered what Gloria had set her sights on at the auction.
15 minutes later, Skylar saw Joe in the parking lot. This time, her car entered the parking lot smoothly.
Joe was dressed in a tailored suit. He looked very striking and cold.
Skylar realized she was dressed very simply in jeans and a trench coat.
“I have prepared a dress for you. Get changed in the car.” Joe handed her a bag.
Inside the bag was a white dress. The lighting in the parking lot was dim, and no one could see her in the backseat.
Skylar took the bag and went to the backseat to change. The car’s tight space made it awkward, especially with Joe sitting in the front.
“Hand me your clothes once you’ve taken them off,” Joe suddenly said,
Skylar hesitated for a moment, then handed him her clothes. When she finished changing and tidying her hair, she was surprised to see Joe had folded her clothes neatly.
Her eyes lingered on the folded clothes for a few seconds, feeling her heart skip a beat.
She took the neatly folded clothes and thanked him.
“Thank you.”
“It will be cold inside, put on this shawl.”
Joe handed her a beige cashmere shawl.
The soft, warm touch of the cashmere shawl made Skylar’s heart flutter.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the auction and met Gloria that Skylar truly calmed down.
There weren’t many people at the auction today. Beside Gloria was another elegant elderly woman.
Chapter 397
When she saw Skylar, she was a little surprised. After hearing Skylar call Gloria “grandmother“, she asked Gloria quietly, “Do you have another granddaughter? I’ve never seen her before.”
Gloria looked proud as she replied, “She’s my granddaughter–in–law.”
“What?” The woman was very surprised and looked at Skylar closely.
She hadn’t heard anything about this.
She had just returned from abroad and called Gloria to attend the auction together, aiming to strengthen. their relationship and potentially arrange a marriage between their families.
But someone had made a faster move. Moreover, she has never seen this woman before.
