Chapter 168
Michael grinned, “Don’t worry. We’re just dealing with Devin and Fiona. The auction has already kicked off. You can head downstairs and get
seated
The bodyguards who had been blocking the way stepped aside.
The group turned and started heading downstairs.
“Carl Fiona’s face turned pale, and she took off after the guy.
But before she could take a few steps, the bodyguards grabbed her arms.
“Call” Fiona shouted.
But the guy named Carl didn’t even glance back at her. He bolted like he was running for his life.
Two bodyguards dragged Fiona toward Hedlow
She struggled and screamed. “Let me go! I’m the eldest daughter of the Santos family, one of the four major families in Denisville! You can’t just lock me up! Let got Devin, help me!”
But Devin was in no
was in no position to help. He was dragged and thrown into Bestow as well.
“We’re really giving them too much credit.” Lethe scoffed, patting the hollow door of Bestow as it closed. This room isn’t for just anyone. Enjoy your stay!”
On the third floor, in the VIP room, Bryan was watching the auction on a screen and chatting with a friend about bidding when the waiter burst in and whispered something in his car
What? Bryan stood up abruptly, his face turning pale. That troublemaking daughter
His friend was startled. “What’s wrong?” –
Bryan mumbled, not wanting to air his family’s dirty laundry, I need to take care of something first” With that, he quickly walked out.
In the Faulkner room. Bonnie was sitting in front of the screen, intently watching the auction items, like she hadn’t heard the commotion outside. She looked totally innocent
Lethe handed her a lollipop, and Bonnie took it, expressing her thanks with a shy smile,
“Lenore… No! That still feels off… Wayne was circling around Lenore, deep in thought. Suddenly, he brightened and said with a serious expression. Len
Lenore was left speechless.
Silas raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at the comer of his lips.
“Len!” Wayne was proud of finding a title that expressed his admiration. He batted his eyelashes and asked, “Where did you get that A–Black Card? Why did Michael call you the lady of the First Floor?”
These were the questions everyone in the room, except Honnie and Lethe, wanted to ask
Silas’s eyes burned with intensity, and the scent of sandalwood filled the air. Seeing their eager expressions, Lenore softened her demeanor. Her gaze was cold, and she spoke simply, “I saved someone from the Brown family. This is their way of repaying me.”
Silence filled the room.
Everyone wondered who she had saved and why the repayment was so grand, but Lenore’s aura
a turned cold, and no one dared to ask further.
Lenore glanced at Wayne and said lightly, I think you’d better call me Lenore”
Wayne didn’t know what to say.
Chuck, who had been keeping watch at the door, came in and whispered, “Mr. Faulkner, Mr. Santos is here”

Bryan entered the room and paused for a moment, taken aback by the group. He bowed deeply to Silas and said, “Mr. Faulkner, I don’t know what my kids did to offend you. I’m sorry. Can you let it go this time!”
Silas’s slender fingers tapped his knee rhythmically as he spoke in a cool voice. “Mr. Santos, your apology is directed at the wrong person.”
Bryan was stunned again.
His eyes swept over the group, finally settling on Wayne. “Mr. Garcia…
“It wasn’t me.” Wayne interrupted.
Bryan paused and then looked at Josiah.
Josiah rubbed his nose. “Not n
me either.”
In this room, the only ones left who mattered were the three of them. Bryan turned to Chuck.
Chuck was lost for words. His heart skipped a beat. “Definitely not me.
Bryan frowned deeply and then looked at the three girls in the room.
He had noticed them as soon as he walked in, and while he was surprised that Silas had brought women along, he hadn’t paid them much mind.
Now that everyone else had denied it, it had to be them.
Bryan’s frown deepened. “If it’s not you guys, could it be these girls?”
