"Milady, look there. Why does Chain know Felix?" Belle whispered to Xena.

Xena turned to look at them before turning back.

"Chain is friendly. Previously, the arrest happened in Felix's villa. Didn't you say it yourself? Felix showed up in the end. So, why is it strange?"

Xena's words made sense. Belle glared at Felix. She felt uneasy. Although Felix's status in Dragon Alliance hadn't been confirmed, she hoped he didn't have another hidden side.

After all, when Felix acquired the Phoenix Legion, he and Belle became enemies. Thus, she hoped that he, as her opponent, would be weaker.

As time passed, the auction had begun. Bernard was hosting on the stage, but he didn't dare talk much. Since many people present were more affluent than the Kinsley family, it was most polite to keep it short.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming here. There's no need for cash to bid on the Miracle Card. I just hope that you all can write down how you can help the Kinsley family. We'll pick who can provide us with the most significant help and make an announcement. "Let's start then."

Then, the hostesses entered from the side door one after another, all holding trays. There were around 100 people. Since there were so many of them, it was sufficient to provide one-to-one service. This arrangement was very considerate toward the auction attendees. However, Xena went up to the stage at this time. "Everyone! A few of you know that my grandfather has been bedridden for a long time. The Miracle Card is my only hope! I hope you all can do me a favor. I will remember your kindness and repay you." All the guests were businessmen. Everyone knew how she would repay the favor and who she was talking about.

It would count as a favor if they were more affluent than her. If not, they wouldn't have had the courage to make her repay the favor. They might get ignored even if they asked her to repay the favor.

"You're too kind."

"You're so filial."

"Don't worry, Lady Summers. I won't fight with you for the Miracle Card. I'm just here to join in the fun."

A few people spoke up and gave Xena a way out. Nevertheless, she felt a bit disappointed because the people who had the capability to go against her remained silent.

Even though she knew it was useless to say those things on the stage, she had to do it for Curtis, even if it meant embarrassing herself.

Just then, Felix saw George moving away. The latter was pulling Yvonne to the east side corridor. It was obvious that she was unhappy, but she had to obey him.

A while of hesitation later, Felix made a move.

In a room in Snowfall Manor, Yvonne looked at George, frightened.

"Mr. Zimmerman, what are you doing? Aren't you going to bid?"

George gazed at her brazenly. "The elders in my family will bid. I only attended the auction

but because I was bored. I didn't expect to meet you here! It has almost been half a year, you've changed a lot. You have become more womanlike, and your figure and appearance have improved. "You're making me fall for you."

George was known to be a playboy in Yartford. It was said that he partied every night and had slept with countless women. Thus, Yvonne didn't take his words as a joke.

"Mr. Zimmerman, please have some self-respect! You should know who I am."

Licking his lips, George suddenly grabbed Yvonne's arms. "I know! B-But I can't hold myself back."
