The auctioneer was flabbergasted by Lilia's offer. Luckily, the man managed to stop the hammer in midair. The guests were no longer whispering, but talking with each other excitedly. They were all talking about Lilia's carelessness in bidding while looking at her with contempt. A businessman sitting in the third row said to his assistant, "Looks like that lady model got too much money after becoming famous." Another guest said disdainfully, "The painting's maximum value is only 20 billion! Did the…

Jean shook his head, "We didn't have a wedding. We only signed the marriage certificate, which is why I didn't tell my uncle about this marriage." His answer was calm. Felix raised his eyebrows and took turns looking at the young couple, "Ah, of course. Young people these days don't seem to like rigid and troublesome wedding parties!"

William frowned at Lilia's words. He looked at the woman with sad eyes and smiled bitterly, "Lili, you've changed. You've never acted like this before." Lilia met William's gaze with a mocking smile, "Why are you bringing up the past? Do you need to be reminded of what you and Sara did to me? Do I need to mention everything so you understand that I will never forgive you?" William closed his mouth tightly and lowered his head. He knew he was being mean to Lilia when he dumped her three years ago.…

When Lilia arrived home, Jean wasn't there. She checked the study, bathroom, and bedroom, but she could not find Jean's figure anywhere. Lilia returned to the living room and left her suitcase lying on the floor. Then she threw herself on the sofa. Lilia couldn't stop thinking about her mother's strange request. In the end, she decided to call her father. As soon as Robert picked up the phone, he immediately scolded Lilia, "Why didn't you say goodbye to Dad while you were away?" Even so, his voice…

"Father, are you okay?" Lilia asked worriedly. She hurriedly got up from her chair and pulled her father away from the broken glass. "Y-Yes, I'm fine." Robert recovered from his shock and immediately called the maid to clean the shattered glass. Even though the servants had wiped up the spilled wine and swept away the broken glass, the strong aroma of wine still filled the dining room.

Lilia turned on the small lamp beside her bed before lying back on her back. She stared at the ceiling of her room while thinking of the problem with the project partnering Pangestu…
