?Chapter 676:


    The auction officially began, and to showcase himself, Sean purchased several pieces of jewelry. His wealth made asting impression on many people.


    Before each purchase, Sean would ask Norah, “Honey, do you like this?”


    “Honey, do you think this is beautiful?”


    “Honey, I believe this suits you perfectly.”


    Norah smiled. As long as Sean was happy, she didn’t mind whether the items were meant for her or not.


    Coen also made several purchases, which surprised Norah. She nced at Coen and Derek a few times. It seemed they had truly made some money recently. They could afford items from the auction.


    However, the Powell Group’s situation was more secure than the Carter Group’s. Even without coborations with the Scott Group and the Morris Group, the Powell Group could still thrive. Norah chose not to focus on the two of them. When she turned her attention away, she happened to notice Marlin sitting next to Ynde, who appeared tall andposed.


    Observing his gentle treatment of Dolores, Norah felt a rare and subtle difort deep in her heart.


    She had intended to make an appearance in front of Marlin, but now she reconsidered. She figured he might not be inclined to meet her. They had crossed paths by chance, and whether or not they saw each other again was up to fate. Why should she feelpelled to greet him? As long as he was doing well, that was enough.


    She grasped Sean’s hand tightly and pushed aside the strange emotion in her heart.

    Sean held her hand, his handsome face radiating love. Gazing at him, Norah felt a surge of happiness. Sean was the only person she loved now. No one else mattered.


    The auction on the stage was drawing to a close.


    “Thank you for your contribution to the charity. The auction has concluded,” announced the host as the guests rose from their seats and began to mingle, taking the opportunity to discuss potential business partnerships.


    “Sean, I’m heading to the restroom,” said Norah.


    “Okay,e straight back to me afterward,” Sean replied.


    Norah made her way alone to the restroom, where she encountered the woman who had been with Marlin earlier. She remembered that the girl’s name was Dolores.


    In front of the mirror, Dolores applied her lipstick, her demeanor shifting from the bashful air she had maintained in the crowd to a more arrogant stance now that she was alone. When she noticed Norah in the reflection, a flicker of fear crossed her face.


    Norah had to admit that Dolores was strikingly beautiful.
