The na?ve Ginger shook her head.


    Mia smiled. “Steal the thing he wants and he’ll remember you forever.”


    “B–But-”


    No buts. You’re going to give him the reishi mushrooms as a present anyway. It’s the same. He’ll be


    able to save ten million dors too! Isn’t that great?”


    Ginger thought that Mia had a point and so she quickly raised her number to be noticed by the


    auctioneer.


    The auctioneer saw the special number and knocked down the hammer. “Sold! Congrattions to the


    guest on the second floor. The reishi mushrooms are yours.”


    A tumult broke out.


    Furious, Caleb sprang to his feet. “What’s going on? I thought the bidders have to bid a price and three


    chances are given to others before the bid ends, no? You knocked down the hammer way too fast. This


    is not fair!”


    People are joining in the protest. “It is indeed unfair.”


    Timothy looked at the second floor, his eyes met Mia’s. She was propping her chin while smirking


    triumphantly.


    His expression was gloomy as he began to think about what was she up to.


    Luna stood up too. “Can the guest on the second floor pay ten million dors?” She didn’t believe that


    Monalize had that much money.


    Ten million dors was an astronomical figure!


    The auctioneer mocked, “Miss, the guest on the second floor is our VVIP on Xanier Ind. Of course,


    she can pay that much.”


    The mockery made her feel awkward as she sat down stiffly. Her hands clutched onto her


    dress.


    With a wounded pride, she couldn’t suppress the jealousy in her anymore. Was Monalize really that


    rich?


    The reishi mushrooms could treat Laura and wake her up. When that happened, Luna


    wouldn’t be able to cover the things she did anymore!


    The protest was in vain. Caleb looked at Timothy, “What should we do?”


    They thought that things were going smoothly, yet Ginger got in their way. How unlucky!


    Timothy reciprocated solemnly, “Think of something else.”


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Tim, that woman must be targeting me. I’ll exin to herter. I will help you get the reishi mushrooms


    back no matter what it takes,” promised Caleb.


    He figured that that was the reason behind Monalize’s intervention. Otherwise, why would she


    suddenly cause them trouble?


    Except for the ne and the reishi mushrooms, she didn’t purchase anything from the auction


    today.


    It was obvious that she was picking on them.


    “Let’s go.” Timothy rose from his seat.


    Since someone else had purchased the reishi mushrooms, there was no need to stay here


    anymore.


    Caleb quickly said, “Let’s head to the second floor and talk to them.”


    Timothy shared the same notion.


    Nevertheless, it was fortunate that the winning bidder was Monalize and Ginger. The men still had a


    chance to get the reishi mushrooms.


    Luna watched their backs. Gritting her teeth, she followed them too.


    Just what was she plotting? Luna wanted to know.


    By the time they reached the second floor, however, the private lounge was empty.


    Caleb huffed, “Fuck! They’re gone! They knew that we wereing.”


    Timothy overlooked the first floor, his eyes were dark.


    Soon enough, the sound of high heels clicking could be heard from the end of the corridor.


    Mia, holding Ginger’s hand, came up to them. Mia arched her eyebrow at them. “What a coincidence.”
