Trevor chuckled. “It’s fine. Didn’t you say your grandmother likes it? Go ahead and bid.”
Seeing his smile, Wynn felt a sweetness in her heart. She raised her paddle again. “60 million.”
Jorge immediately followed. “70 million.”
Then, he called out loudly to Trevor, “Mr. Fleming, my old folks at home love this kind of thing. How about showing me some courtesy and letting me have it?”
Trevor looked over and returned a polite smile. “Sorry, Mr. Robinson, but I also have elders at home who like this.” They made no effort to keep their conversation private, so naturally, Celeste and Lottie also heard it.
The vase was meant for Erin, Wynn’s paternal grandmother. Yet Trevor referred to her as his own elder, making it clear that he already considered the Locket family as his own.
That was a stark contrast to how he treated her family.
Wynn raised her paddle again. “85 million.”
This time, Jorge didn’t continue bidding.
In the end, Wynn won the antique vase for 85 million, once again drawing envious stares from the entire room. Even after the bid was secured, Wynn still felt a bit
uneasy.
The Locket family was wealthy, and her grandmother was a passionate antique collector who spent a fortune on artifacts every year.
But spending close to 100 million on a single piece? That was unthinkable. If her family found out, they’d probably be shocked senseless.
Not to mention, Trevor had actually instructed her to bid 100 million for it. But she had felt it was too much, so she had lowered it to 85 million.
Thinking about how generous Trevor was with his money, Wynn felt warm inside.
Lottie cursed, “Shit! That’s almost 100 million!”
Adding up the two auction items, the total was nearly 100 million.
This time, it wasn’t just her teeth aching–her whole body felt sore with envy.
Celeste pursed her lips tightly, her expression dark.
Lottie noticed and asked, “Cel, are you… okay?”
Trevor was treating his mistress so well. And that mistress was none other than the daughter of her father’s mistress. How could she not be upset?
But Celeste’s bad mood wasn’t because of that. “Trevor can spend his money however he wants. It has nothing to do with me, and I don’t care.
“What I care about right now is if he and Wynn want the same thing I do, with my financial situation, there’s no way I can outbid them.”
Lottie suddenly realized, ““That’s true. But she’s already won two items, right? She probably won’t bid again.”

Hopefully.
But Celeste knew that with Trevor’s wealth, he could easily bid on a few more items tonight and spend another few hundred million without even blinking.
Just as she was thinking this, the embroidered painting she had been eyeing was brought onto the stage.
The starting bid was also five million.
Someone quickly placed the first bid. “Six million.”
Celeste raised her paddle. “Seven million.”
At first, Wynn hadn’t even noticed Celeste. But the moment Celeste spoke, Wynn immediately recognized her voice.
She turned around–and locked eyes with Celeste.
Wynn’s face remained expressionless. She quickly turned away again, then raised her paddle. “Ten million.”
Celeste’s heart instantly sank.
Wynn had recognized her. And Celeste refused to believe that Trevor hadn’t recognized her voice too. But he didn’t even turn around.
Lottie cursed outright. “Are you fucking kidding me? She’s actually raising bids again?”
Jorge joined in. “15 million.”
Celeste pressed her lips together and raised her paddle. “18 million.”
Wynn didn’t even look back. She simply called out, “25 million.”
