Our seats were in the middle-back section since we hadn't arrived early. A few minutes after sitting down, the auction was about to begin.
Just then, there was suddenly a commotion in the front rows.
Cynthia and I looked over at the sound.
After learning what was happening, I froze.
Cynthia: "It's actually Ferris and Ashley... they're here too."
Then she asked me: "Did you know they were attending the auction?"
I shook my head: "No."
Ferris never told me where he was going or what events he was attending.
After Ferris had spent money to build her reputation and hosted many receptions for her, Ashley's fame in high society circles had certainly grown.
When she and Ferris appeared, many people focused their attention on her.
"Last time when Alpha Ferris brought her to a banquet, her outfit was worth over thirty million. This time, her ensemble is no less impressive compared to last time."
"Not to mention the diamond jewelry set she's wearing, just her dress alone is a work personally crafted by world-renowned designer Imess. Everyone knows that Imess, who has been in semi-retirement for nearly ten years, only personally makes three gowns a year, and each one is worth over ten million—"
"Over thirty million last time, several million this time. Just these two occasions alone, Alpha Ferris has spent tens of millions on her. He's really willing to spare no expense for her."
"Absolutely."
Ashley wore a blue flowing satin gown that shimmered with light, adorned with eye-catching jewelry, and combined with her outstanding appearance, she was undoubtedly the most dazzling woman at tonight's auction.
Everyone knew that the front rows were a symbol of status and position.
Amid all the discussion and envy, Ashley and Ferris sat down together in the center seats of the first row.
Seeing this caused even more envy among the surrounding people.
"The center of the first row... such prestige. I really want to know what it feels like to sit there. For them to sit in front, besides their status and position, it also shows they'll probably spend quite a bit tonight, my god—"
"Stop talking, the more you say the more envious I get. Comparing people really kills you."
After hearing this, Cynthia also leaned close to my ear with a sour tone, lowering her voice: "He bought Ashley such a gorgeous gown. I remember yours is from several years ago..."
The auction was about to begin. The lights dimmed, and the host on stage, draped in a gray-silver cloak, opened with steady and imposing presence. The whispers in the hall quickly quieted down, and the air seemed to be pressed down several degrees by that ancient aristocratic dignity.
I had already carefully reviewed tonight's auction catalog.
I had two targets in mind: a starlight crystal bracelet and a blood jade incense burner.
Both were top-quality treasures and perfect gifts for my grandmother.
But which one I'd ultimately bid on would depend on the competition at the scene.
The first auction item began its presentation. I remained restrained—since it wasn't what I wanted, I didn't raise my paddle throughout.
Instead, Ashley raised her paddle.
She had her eye on a diamond necklace.
The entire necklace was ostentatiously designed, brilliantly sparkling and overly flashy—clearly designed for young women to wear.
Undoubtedly, that was prepared by Ferris for her.
The host announced the starting price—1.5 million silver coins.
Ashley's lips curved in a confident smile as she elegantly raised her paddle, increasing it to three million.
The venue was slightly stirred, but soon someone countered, pushing the price to four million.
My gaze swept lightly over Ferris. He sat beside Ashley, leaning close to whisper something in her ear, the gesture as natural as if they were already intimate.
The next second, Ashley raised her paddle, her voice clear:
"Eight million."
As soon as she spoke, the exhibition hall erupted.
This diamond necklace had a nice design, but in terms of actual value, it really wasn't worth eight million.
