Bella and Gregor believed that it was Helen who was going to pay for the expensive tambourine; after all, Grey was an ordinary pauper who couldn't afford such an amount. She was the reason why Grey was so bold to keep on placing bids of such enormous amounts.Grey chuckled casually. "Oh no, Miss.
Gregor felt very helpless. He felt like a fool for paying for the tambourine; however, he knew that there was nothing he could have done to exempt himself from paying for it. According to the auction rules, participants who successfully won the items they bidded for were obligated to purchase them.
"Hey, hey. That's enough! Who do you think you are? Do you think you're an expert who knows all? What a fool! Or are you some spy from other competitors who are trying to stop my boss from buying it so that the man behind you can buy it at a lower price? How can you be so shameless and cruel to misu
Seeing the bidders place their bids, the Auctioneer announced, "Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our spotlight right now is on this incredible antique textual material. Who's ready to kick off the bids?"Bidder 1: raising paddle $1000!Auctioneer: A solid start! Do we have $1500?Bidder 2: $2500,

Grey paced his living room, waiting for any news on Nora. She had been missing for hours, and every minute felt like an eternity. He had already contacted the police, but they had found no trace of her. Desperate, Grey called his most trusted men and ordered them to start a thorough investigation al
Nora let out a gasp of terror as she was yanked backward. It was a fierce man looming over her with his grip like iron on her arm. "Thought you could get away, did you?" he snarled, dragging her back toward the house. Nora struggled, but her strength was no match for his. She held her baby even clo
The ropes binding Nora's wrists dug into her skin, but she ignored the pain. Her baby’s cries had long since faded, replaced by an eerie silence that filled her with dread. Outside the room, Bradley dialled a number with her face a mask of cold fury. “Where is Grey?” she demanded, her voice sharp a
Nora’s breath caught in her throat as she recognized them. Bradley, Carol, and Sandra—the wives of Jeff Hordes who had glared at her and her family with disdain during the reading of Jeff's will.

In the back seat, her newborn baby slept peacefully in the car seat, while her carer, Emily, hummed a lul
Noah and Oliver, Bradley's sons, sat in the average living room of their mother's house with their expressions hard and their voices, heated. The fallout from Jeff Hordes' Will had left a bitter taste in their mouths, and they couldn’t let it go. “This is absurd,” Oliver said, pacing the floor, his
The sprawling Hordes mansion in Croatway was a hive of activity. Cars lined the long driveway, and people milled about, exchanging hushed greetings and speculative glances.
