Chapter 256
Valor having been through a number of women, knew all too well their games
Selina was there only to ruffle Gwendolyn’s feathers.
“Valot don’t you think that’s a bit harsh? Ryan snapped, coming to Selina’s defense with a scowl
“Harsh” You haven’t heard anything yet” Valor scoffed with a smlik. “You should see me when I get going”
The auction continued unabated.
Brenda’s price had soared to $200,000 when George, with his deep pockets, bellowed, “Half a million! Let’s cut to the chase. I truly want a taste of this lady”
His words were rude, and no one dared to challenge him.
“Half a million going once!”
“Sold! Mr. Gonzalez, you lucky devil
With a flirtatious glint in her eye, Brenda sauntered over to George, her hips swaying as she settled into his lap
Handay as ever, George gave her behind a squeeze and remarked. “A full ass means good for bearing children. Give me a son, and III throw in a house for you”
“Oh, Mr. Gonzalez, you’re so naughty, Brenda giggled, nestling into his embrace
George continued, “Dear Brenda, seeing you in that dress, I can’t wait to tear it off and fuck you. You’re a true bitch, born to seduce meni, aren’t you?”
Brenda and Gwendolyn were wearing the same dress. He deliberately mentioned the dress, aiming his barbs, shaming Gwendolyn by
proxy.
A smug smile curled on Selina’s lips as she shared a satisfied glance with Ryan.
The two were disgustingly sweet, no matter the setting. George’s repeated mention of the dress was a blatant provocation.
Gwendolyn’s gnp tightened on the chair, and the prying eyes around her felt like thorns in her side, the leering men appraising her figure, the probing with ill intent, and the underlying contempt
Her dress felt more like a constraint at the time.
Sitting beside her, Howard took her hand and gently stroked it to offer comfort
Gwendolyn glanced at him, then straightened her back, sitting with poise.
“The next item for auction is Miss Selina’s debutante gown from her eighteenth birthday, one of the most important possessions life. We will start the bidding now.”

“One hundred thousand dollars going once.
“One hundred thousand dollars going twice.”
“Three hundred thousand dollars, Howard’s deep voice echoed through the auction hall.
All eyes turned to Howard!
Selina screamed with surprise and excitement, “Howie, you care for me…
Gwendolyn turned in shock, only to see Howard composed and unfazed.
Ryan raised his paddle. Four hundred thousand dollars!”
“Five hundred thousand dollars, Howard countered indifferently, unhesitatingly upping the bid. No matter what R
Ryan offered, he kept going higher
Selina’s face flushed with the heat of vanity fulfilled. Two top–tier men were vying for her attention. What could be more flattering?
“Howie, Ryan, please dont fight over little old me,” she said demurely. “Ryan, darling…
She pressed down on Ryan’s bidding paddle, shaking her head slightly, and with a reluctant sigh, he backed down.
“Five hundred thousand dollars going once!”
“Five hundred thousand dollars going twice!”
“Five hundred thousand dollars sold to Mr. Chadwick, who wegen a war for his belle!”
Howard lowered his gaze, his long fingers swiping casually over hin phone screen as if the bustling commotion around him was of no
consequence
Jeannie was beside herself with worry “What in the world in he doing? Has he rekindled something with that bitch? I..” she stormed off to confront him when her phone buzzed.
Annoyed, she checked the message, and her anger evaporated Instantly.
Hmph! So, the real show was yet to come
She picked up a platter piled high with creamy cake, her head held high and strutted over with a renewed sense of purpose.
