Julia was wearing a blue, shimmering satin gown, with jewelry that dazzled, and paired with her stunning looks, she was undoubtedly the most eye catching woman at the auction tonight. Everyone knew that the front row was a symbol of status,

As they discussed and admired, julia and Franklin took their seats in the center of the first row.

is immediately drew even more envy from the crowd.

"The center of the first row... So prestigious. I wonder what it feels like to sit there. They're sitting in the front, which means their status is obvious, and probably means they'll be spending quite a bit tonight. My God- "Stop talking, it's making me more jealous. People really can make you feel inferior."

Jessica, hearing this, leaned in and whispered to Maggie, "They're sitting in the first row, but they gave us seats in the back

Tow...

It wasn't the first time Franklin had shown favoritism toward Julia.

Maggie had long since gotten used to it.

She didn't care.

Moreover, her main goal for attending the auction was to buy a birthday gift for her grandmother.

As for the seating arrangements, she wasn't concerned about that at all.

Jessica continued, "Doesn't Franklin know our seat numbers? Why isn't he even glancing over here?"

She probably didn't even care about their seat assignments.

Lighted

Maggie wasn't surprised. She thought of the banquet and the tech exhibition, where Franklin had ignored her the whole time.

As she was lost in thought, the auction was about to begin. The host took the stage, and the room quickly fell silent.

Maggie had already carefully reviewed the auction list for tonight.

She was interested in a set of emerald jewelry and a piece of embroidered art.

Which one she would ultimately bid for depended on the situation.

The auction quickly began.

Maggie was focused, and she didn't raise her paddle unless it was something she truly desired.

Meanwhile, Franklin and Julia hadn't bid on anything either.

After some time, Maggie and Jessica noticed Julia raising her paddle.

Chapter 100

Julia was bidding on a diamond bracelet.

It was designed by an internationally renowned master, and judging by its style, it was meant for young people.

Undoubtedly, this bracelet was intended for Julia by Franklin.

The starting price was 200,000 dollars.

Julia raised her paddle and bumped the price to 400,000 dollars.

Others continued to raise it to 500,000.

At this point, Maggie noticed that Julia leaned in to whisper with Franklin, and then raised her paddle again, her voice clear in the hall: *1 million." The moment she spoke, the entire venue buzzed.

The bracelet was nice, but in terms of intrinsic value, it really wasn't worth 1 million.

Even 500,000 dollars was already excessive.

But Julia seemed to be very fond of the bracelet.

Franklin, with his vast fortune, didn't want anyone else competing with Julia, so he directly offered 1 million as the bid.

Everyone was shocked by Franklin's willingness to spend so freely and his obvious affection for Julia, causing whispers to spread.

As expected, after the 1 million bid, no one else dared to compete.

Julia successfully claimed the bracelet.

Jessica was green with envy, gritting her teeth: "I can't believe it."

Maggie didn't say anything. Another round of bidding started soon after.

Some time later, an antique vase was brought out for auction.

Julia raised her paddle again.

The starting price was 700,000 dollars.

The others had been bidding in increments of 70,000 or 150,000 dollars, but when it came to Julia, her opening bid was 1.5 million.

The number of bidders quickly dropped.

However, there were still plenty of wealthy individuals in the room.

A moment later, a man's voice intervened, "2 million."

Maggie looked over.

It was a young man, quite strikingly handsome.

"That's Rex Bardin."

Jessica tedd Maggie

Maggie nodded.

Julia seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking toward Frank

I was dear to both Maggie and Jessics that this antique are something pulla had her eye on

Only then did Maggie remember that her grandmother, Mrs. Brown, was very fond of collecting antiques.

It didn't take much thought to realize that Julia was bidding on the vase for Mrs. Brown

Franklin nodded and Julia raised her paddle again: 'S million."

Rex laughed. "8 million."

Julia hesitated again, whispering something to Franklin, seemingly suggesting that she let it go.

But Franklin shook his head.

Julia raised her paddle again: "10 million."

Rex's voice rang out again: "20 million."

He smiled as he glanced toward Franklin's side.

Julia furrowed her brow and whispered, "How about... we forget it?"

20 million was simply too much.

Franklin smiled. "It's fine. Didn't you say your grandmother likes it? Just bid for it."

Looking at Franklin's smile, Julia felt a warm sweetness in her heart. She raised the paddle again: "25 million."

Rex quickly followed suit: "30 million."

His voice sounded again, this time loud and clear: "President Wilson, our elderly family members love this kind of thing. Cou you do me a favor and give me a discount?" Franklin glanced over and politely smiled: "Sorry, Hardin, but my family also has elderly members who like these kinds of things."

They had no qualms about speaking in front of everyone.

Maggie and Jessica could hear their conversation clearly.

The vase was for Mrs. Brown, but Franklin referred to the other elderly person as his own family, showing that he had already regarded the Brown family as his own. Long Time

Chapter 100

This little detail made Maggie's heart feel a little strange.

It was a stark contrast to his attitude toward her own family.

Julia raised her paddle: "50 million."
