“Shush.” I raised my finger to my lips. “Calm down, Mrs. Zimmer. It’s my friend who’s sick in the hospital.” “You have to take care of yourself too.” Mrs. Zimmer glanced at Zach and stopped speaking. However, everyone in the Gordon family knew that I had stayed up late. I immediately fell asleep when I returned to the bedroom. Meanwhile, Zach freshened up before he headed to the office. He thought that he was Superman or Ironman, but in reality, he was not. Who knew when he would collapse from all this work?Just as I was about to pass out, I felt someone moving next to me. They were talking, but I was too tired, so I dozed off. When the noise got louder, I forced my eyes to open. I was then shocked by the sight of many people standing before my bed. Eloise, Zach’s mother, my mother, and the helpers were all there. When they noticed that I was awake, they immediately rushed forward and started talking over one another. “Cassia, you’re pregnant. How could you stay up so

Zach was representing Gordon Corporation’s real estate arm in his business dealing with Cameron. It had nothing to do with Yonder Trading. As expected, Yonder Trading was not his priority. To him, it was just a medium-sized trading company. He no longer needed Yonder Trading since he was doing well in one of Gordon Corporation’s business divisions. Yonder Trading was not important to him anymore. However, he had not given up on Yonder Trading entirely as it still benefited him, just like me. I had no one else to blame. I was the one who insisted on setting up this company to support Gordon Corporation’s subdivision. I could only continue doing that at this point. After dinner, I returned to our bedroom. Zach followed me into the room and shut the door. I knew that he had something to say to me. I had already prepared myself to fight him if he dared to harm me. I grabbed an ashtray behind my back. He could see it in my eyes that I was on guard, and he stood before me. “Cassi

The auction had begun. To my surprise, Levine’s paintings were not the last to be auctioned. Was there something even more expensive than that? Levine was great at painting scenery and portraits. The painting that was being auctioned this time had both elements in it. I had been wanting to collect this painting for a long time, but it was not cheap. We were mandated to increase the price by a hundred thousand dollars every time we bid for it. Actually, an auction was just a psychological game. If you played the game right, you would be able to get what you wanted at a cheaper price. Hence, I would not raise my sign for the things I wanted at first. Levine’s painting was usually quite popular. A few buyers were trying to outbid one another. With the increasing price, some people dropped out of the bid. It was currently at three million dollars. Some people raised the price on purpose, one of them being a fat man sitting opposite me. He kept raising his sign, and I met his

The second half of the auction started, and the first item was an antique that I did not care about. I kept looking at the picture that I had taken of the painting by Levine. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.Zach noticed and casually said, “You’ll be taking it home soon. Isn’t it better to see the real thing?”“I could look at something I like a thousand times and still want more.”When they began auctioning the crown, I finally looked up. The host spoke excitedly about the history of this rare treasure.His voice was annoying, so I covered one ear with my finger and muttered, “Whose is it? The wife of Henry II? Isn’t that the one who got executed? That thing is bad luck.”“The one who got executed was Louis XVI,” Zach corrected me.“Isn’t Louis XVI a type of brandy?”“That’s Louis XIII.” He looked at me like I was stupid.“Wait, which Henry is he talking about? Why is he suddenly talking about Charles IX? Isn’t that guy from a children’s sci-fi novel?” That book w

There was a big party after the auction, and my stomach was already growling. Since I was feeling great, I planned on eating a lot.However, the venue was a little stuffy, so I took some food to the terrace outside.It could have been due to my good mood, but I thought that the food tasted amazing. While I enjoyed my meal, I suddenly heard some muffled voices from the garden.It sounded like an upset woman was arguing with someone. “What’s wrong with you? Is this how you do your job? Don’t you have any sense? I never told you to bid on that!”Oh, it was Cecilia talking to the skinny guy. It looked like she did not want to accept responsibility for what had happened.This was too interesting to miss!I sneaked off the terrace with my plate and followed their voices. Then, I found Cecilia and the skinny guy deep in the garden.She was trying to keep her cool, but she appeared worried and frustrated. She also sounded desperate. “I don’t care. You need to figure this out!”“How am
