Chapter 14
Ashley nodded slightly. “Good.”
Then, she left with Tom.
Evan froze on the spot as if being hit by a big blow.
He tried to curry favor with Tom, while Tom came to pick Ashley up.
His mind was filled with questions. ‘Is Tom here for Ashley? Why is he so respectful to her? How could it be?”
Thinking of Tom’s indifference to him, Evan frowned in a sulk, “Jeremy, what’s going on?”
Jeremy was also puzzled. “Last time Ashley ran away from home, it was Tom who came to pick her up. Could it be that…she has something to do with the Kingsley family?”
Jessica had her heart in her mouth, both nervous and jealous.
She thought, ‘How could Ashley be close to the Kingsley family? Why would the Kingsley family be interested in her? It’s impossible.
Even though Jessica was trying to comfort herself, she couldn’t deny Tom’s respectful attitude towards Ashley.
The seats of three invitations that the Ramos family had worked so hard to get were located in the hall on the first floor.
Logically speaking, they were not qualified to go to the second floor. It was Jessica who wanted to come up for a visit, so Evan and Jeremy came up with her.
The auction was about to start. The three of them couldn’t stay any longer, so they hurried back to the hall on the first floor.
Ashley could be in the private room on the second floor, while Jessica could only be in the hall on the first floor, which caused jealousy and resentment to brew in Jessica’s heart again.
Returning to the private room on the second floor, Ashley sat on the chair next to Valentin.
There were many exquisite snacks and fruits

Ashley ate a few pieces of fruit, staring at the hall on the first floor, wondering if there would be anything amazing in the auction.
Finally, the auction officially began.
The auctioneer came on stage, made some opening remarks, and then started bidding on the first lot.copy right hot novel pub
Each guest in the audience was given a paddle. If they were interested in the auction, they could raise the paddle and bid. The highest bidder would get the lot. Once the auctioneer hammered three times, the deal would be completed.
“300 thousand!”
In the corner, a middle-aged rich man raised the paddle and wanted to buy the crown for his mistress.
Jeremy stared in the direction of Tom, waiting for him to bid, but Tom. was careless and seemed not determined to get the pearl crown.
But as soon as Jeremy bid, Tom would follow up and outbid him.
“Dad, what should we do…” Jeremy frowned in confusion.
Evan also noticed something was wrong. Tom was obviously targeting them and didn’t want them to take away the pearl crown.
Jeremy pondered for a moment and said, “Did we offend Mr. Shaw?”
Evan recalled carefully. He thought, ‘It’s even difficult for us to see Tom. How could we have a chance to offend him? Is it because of the fight we had with Ashley just now? Is Tom avenging Ashley? How could it be possible?’
Jessica showed deep reluctance in her eyes but said generously, “Dad, Jeremy, since Mr. Shaw has misunderstood us, we’d better not compete with him for now. Maybe I’m not lucky enough to deserve this pearl crown.”
Seeing her being sensible, Evan was pleased and felt sorry for her. “Good girl. Sorry for that! There will be other items in a while. If you like any of them, I will buy it for you!”
Jessica nodded. “Dad, I’m okay with that.

In fact, she was simmering with rage. She wanted that princess crown so badly, bu Tom was giving them a hard time.
Jeremy put down the paddle and stopped bidding.
As soon as he stopped, Tom also didn’t bid anymore.
In the end, the pearl crown was bought by a wealthy man for 360 thousand dollars.
On the second floor. Ashley was slightly startled by what happened.
When she saw Tom bidding, she thought he liked this princess crown very much.
Now, she finally realized Tom was giving Jeremy a hard time.
Jessica failed to get what she wanted. Ashley was sure she must be furious right now.
Ashley pondered and suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at Valentin and asked, “Did you send Tom to the first floor?”
Valentin looked at her, tapped the cup, and said calmly, “No.”
“So, he went there by himself?” Ashley felt touched and didn’t expect Tom to do so.
Tom returned to the private room on the second floor and was excited after experiencing bidding at will. “Ms. Ramos, Mr. Kingsley asked me to go down and bid. Did you see the frustrated expressions of Jessica and Jeremy?”
