Chapter 20 The Target Is Howard
Diana didn’t expect to bump into anyone from the Gettys at the auction.
Not only did Aiden show up, but Emily and Laura were there too.
When Aiden made his first bid, Diana’s eyes locked onto them, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
“What are you looking at?” Howard asked, noticing Diana’s gaze fixed on a spot in the room.
“The Gettys are here,” Diana said.
Howard’s cold gaze swept to a corner of the room, and he said flatly, “The Getty family wasn’t originally qualified to attend the auction, but I heard Aiden pulled some strings to get an entry ticket.”
Realizing that was the case, Diana smiled. She was curious to see what the Gettys were trying so hard to achieve by getting in
Meanwhile, Emily was gently comforting Laura, “Laura, you just got better, don’t get too emotional. If you see something you like, let your dad bid for it.”
Lara nodded obediently.
At this moment, Alden was standing up and looking around.
“What are you looking at?” Emily asked, displeased, as she tapped Aiden’s shoulder.
“I heard Mr. Spencer is here too. I was hoping to see him,” Aiden said, frowning.
Recently, many of the Gerry Group’s projects had failed, and they didn’t know who was behind it. But after Aiden learned that Howard and Diana got married, he had some suspicions.
He came to the auction today hoping to see Howard and probe him. If those actions weren’t directed by Howard, maybe Aiden could find a way to seek cooperation with the Spencer Group.
“Mr. Spencer?” Emily’s eyes lit up. “Is he really here? This is a great opportunity
Alden glanced at Emily and asked, “What are you planning?”
“How about having Laura marry Mr. Spencer? Emily said, her imagination running wild.
Hearing her words, Alden was stunned for a moment.
Laura blushed deeply. “But isn’t Mr. Spencer…”
“Thats just Robert’s side of the story. The Spencer family didn’t hold a grand wedding, so who knows what the truth is.” Emily sneered. She had always looked down on Robert, thinking he had neither ability nor looks.
When Robert and Diana were dating, Emily didn’t interfere and didn’t take Robert seriously.
But since Diana left, Laura and Robert had been seeing each other frequently, which made Emily unpleasant.
Emily thought that if Loura were to marry, it should be to someone like Howard, who was wealthy, good–looking, and powerful. As for Robert, he was just an employee at a small company, not worthy of her precious daughter.
“Laura, when we find Mr. Spencer, you must use your charm to win him over, understand?” Emily instructed Laura.
Laura nodded, blushing, but then worriedly said, “But Diana
“Don’t listen to Robert’s nonsense. He’s just sweet–talking you! I didn’t stop you when you were close to Robert before, but now there’s a better option in front of you, you can’t give it up! You don’t want to lose to Diana, do you?” Emily said.
Laura lowered her eyes, a cold glint flashing in her bright eyes. “Mom, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Alden listened to Laura and Emily’s conversation behind him, shaking his head and sighing. He also hoped Laura could catch a man like Howard, but Howard’s status was too high. Even the most prominent women in Emerald City combined couldn’t match a fraction of Howard’s status
Aiden continued to observe the room, his eyes suddenly sharp as he stared at the VIP seats on the second floor.
