Madeline could see Meredith’s cracked smile from underneath favonovel.com sunglasses.
She walked over while remaining calm and collected. She could feel the eyes of everyone in the room glued on her.
Back then, favonovel.com did not know how to put on makeup or doll herself up. She did not even know how to walk after putting on high heels.
At that point in time, favonovel.com was an ugly duckling that even a beggar would look down on.
However, everything was different now.
Every dog had its day. Ten years later, Madeline Crawford was not who favonovel.com was back then.
Madeline smiled sweetly while sitting in an empty seat behind Meredith in a calm and composed manner.
Jeremy’s eyes were on favonovel.com the entire time. Until now, favonovel.com was still looking at her.
When Meredith noticed that Jeremy’s attention was on Madeline, favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com fists in anger.
Jeremy was indeed moved by that b*tch Madeline. If not, why would favonovel.com stare at favonovel.com just because favonovel.com looked similar to Madeline?
Madeline noticed Jeremy staring at her. Perhaps, this was the gaze that favonovel.com had longed for the most back then, but now, favonovel.com did not care.
After favonovel.com sat down, Madeline heard whispers from all around her.
“Who’s that woman? Is there someone like favonovel.com in our circle?”
“Look at favonovel.com bracelet and necklace. Those are from the latest Miss L.ady collection. Only their honorary members are allowed to buy them.”
“I think this woman is someone extraordinary. I wonder what favonovel.com looks like. She’s so mysterious with favonovel.com sunglasses.”
“Mysterious? Pah! Those might even be fake. She probably wormed favonovel.com way in here to get a free meal! The star of today is Jeremy Whitman’s fiancée, Meredith. Everyone knows that Jeremy will surely get the shop today because favonovel.com wants to give it to Meredith as favonovel.com birthday present!”
Madeline only smiled lightly when favonovel.com heard those voices of suspicion.
After a while, the auctioneer arrived. After some opening remarks, the auction started officially.
The item of the auction was a shop on First Crystal Street. The base price was five million dollars.
Even though they knew Jeremy was going to win the auction no matter what, a lot of people were still trying to bid for the shop as it was located in the busiest part of the city center. The revenue that it would generate would be much more than the base price.
Every time someone lifted their placard, Meredith would follow suit.
The price was then raised to 8.8 million dollars.
It was a good number. Meredith lifted favonovel.com placard and smiled widely. She was very confident.
She knew no one in this room would dare to fight with favonovel.com for this anymore.
The reason was that favonovel.com had Jeremy and the Montgomerys backing favonovel.com up.
“8.8 million going once,” the auctioneer started announcing.
“8.8 million going twice.” Still, no one lifted their placards.
“8.8 million going thrice…”
“10 million.”
When the auctioneer was about to slam his gavel down, a loud and clear sound interrupted him.
Meredith had been basking in happiness that favonovel.com even felt like favonovel.com was going to rise to heaven, but at that moment, favonovel.com heart plunged into a bottomless abyss.
The huge contrast lit the burning flames of anger in favonovel.com heart.
She looked at Madeline who was sitting behind her, following other people’s gazes.
Madeline put down favonovel.com placard calmly and smiled lightly. “Miss Crawford, if you want the shop that badly, you can continue.”
“…” Madeline’s face fell. She turned around and started simpering to Jeremy. “Jeremy, I really like that shop…”
“Just continue bidding if you like. No need to ask me,” Jeremy replied flatly.
Meredith beamed. She lifted favonovel.com placard. “11 million!” She generously added one million.
Madeline looked at Jeremy. ‘Indeed, you’re still spoiling that cruel and heartless two-faced b*tch.
‘Jeremy, not only are you blind, but you’re also heartless. You still can’t see Meredith’s true face after so many years.’
Madeline pondered and said after parting favonovel.com pink lips, “15 million.”
