Chapter 1063
“Forgive me for saying such inappropriate things, Sydney. I didn’t know that girl is married to your nephew.”
The woman knew the Knights were the most prestigious family in Pyralis. Sydney was in a different league since she was Gunnar’s wife.
The woman said she intended to introduce her son to Bonnie, so she feared people would misunderstand her and think she was trying to steal Bonnie from the Knights. Even so, the woman did not know who Bonnie was.
After finding out, she immediately apologized. Otherwise, she would have been in deep trouble if the Knights held her accountable.
Sydney relaxed once the woman apologized. The former said, “It’s okay. I forgive your ignorance. Still, you’ll have to be more careful next time. Although I might not reprimand you, Ivor wouldn’t be so kind if he had heard your intentions.”Contentt belongs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and gulped. “Y-You’re right, Sydney. I’ll be more mindful about my words next time.” Ads by PubFuture
Sydney responded dryly, “Good.”
Meanwhile, Bonnie heard everything. She could not help but glance at Sydney in shock.
‘Sydney has always hated me. I’m amazed she defended me when I wasn’t around.’
At that moment, the staff members finished setting up the auction. Then, the host went on stage and explained the rules. Everyone in the hall had never seen an auction during the tea party. They appreciated the novelty and anticipated what items would be up for bid.
Bonnie was just as curious as everyone else. She wanted to see if there was anything worth bidding for.
Once the host finished introducing the auction and explaining the rules, a staff member brought an item to the stage. On the tray was a pair of exquisite lavender jade bracelets. The jewelry captivated the women’s hearts.
Countless women bid on them as soon as the host announced the starting bid. When Bonnie saw the bracelets, she immediately thought of Avril.
‘Those bracelets’ colors are unique. They look cheerful and elegant. They’re an accurate reflection of Avril’s character. Since the New Year is coming soon, they’ll make perfect gifts for her.’ Ads by PubFuture
With that in mind, Bonnie raised her auction paddle to bid on the bracelets. The highest bid at that moment was over a hundred grand. Bonnie considered raising it to a price where no one could compete with her.
“Six hundred thousand dollars!”
Immediately after, everyone in the hall looked at Bonnie.
“Who is she? Why would she be so reckless? There’s no way she bid six hundred grand. It’s wasteful to buy those bracelets at such a high price.”
“I overheard Sydney saying that girl is married to Ivor.”
“Wait, that girl is Ivor’s wife? No wonder she didn’t even blink when she bid that much.”
“Forget that. We’re not as wealthy as the Knights. We should give up bidding on those bracelets and let
her have them. We’ll just bid on something else.”
Even so, Bonnie continued to surprise them. No matter what the host put up for bid, she proceeded to bid and left no chance for the others to purchase anything.
Initially, everyone let her have her way because she was a member of the Knight family. However, they began to compete with her later in the auction. Since no one was as rich as Bonnie, they grew resentful toward her.
A woman sitting beside Sydney said sarcastically, “I know your nephew’s wealthy, but he won’t be for much longer if that girl keeps spending his money like this. You’re his aunt, right? Aren’t you going to say something?”
