Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 221-Hubert refused to make way and even asked Beatrix, “Beatrix, do you like Mr.

Cline’s jewelry too? That’s fantastic! I plan to purchase one for your sister tonight and perhaps another one for you. What do you think?” Beatrix’s curiosity was piqued, so she stopped walking and asked, “Oh, when did Mr. Verkade become this generous?” Hubert, unlike his older brother, was an open book. Hearing that, he immediately responded with a proud smile, “My father and elder brother have agreed to sponsor the betrothal gift for the Quillen family. I know your sister has a fondness for beautiful things in golden hues. The highlight of tonight’s auction will be a golden jade phoenix, and I’m certain she will like it!” “Oh, you truly understand my elder sister!” “Of course! I know Mackenzie better than anyone in this world,” Hubert proudly proclaimed.

Beatrix enjoyed indulging in gossip about love and romance. Instead of [[]] revealing that her sister was already married, which would make Hubeny efforts futile, she decided to taunt him by saying, “But I’m afraid Mr. Verkade won’t be able to secure it!” “That’s impossible! I will win it at any cost with the support of my father and elder brother! Consider this my bold declaration!” Hubert, who couldn’t stand to be provoked, declared confidently.

“Wow, that’s impressive! We’ll just have to wait and see!” Beatrix teased him further. In reality, Beatrix’s family also had a stake in tonight’s auction house, where they would earn a commission based on the final price. If someone foolishly inflated the price, she could help her family make money. She suddenly felt quite clever.

“Beatrix, come with me to the VIP room and see me in action tonight!” Hubert didn’t care whether Beatrix was willing or not and simply pulled her along. In his heart, he already regarded the mischievous young lady from the Quillen family as his future sister–in–law.

On the other hand, Emmanuel remained unaware that Beatrix and Hubert had also arrived. He had no idea that Hubert was planning to compete with Golden Jade phoeni him for the golden jade phoenix. Furthermore, he never expected that his modest sum of 5,000 would be sufficient to win any bid in such a prestigious event. When he entered the room, Emmanuel was utterly astounded.

He was dumbfounded upon seeing a set of mahogany tea tables that were worth a few hundred thousand and the tea that was priced at thousands per pot in the VIP room. Not only that, there were also three striking models, each standing over 5.6 feet tall, donning short bodycon dresses that showcased their long and fair legs. However, Emmanuel didn’t even spare them a glance.
