pleasantly surprised by Benjamin’s gesture. ‘I can’t believe he’s willing to apologize to me! Well, I guess
there’s a first for everything.’
She decided to play the compassionate mother in front of Jeremy.

“Will do,” replied Corinne before she strode out of the private booth.
Lucas gestured with his chin for Edmund to follow her, which the other man did. He then took out his
phone to call the auction house’s manager, instructing him to ask all the security guards to keep an eye
out for Bryan.

Bryan was lying when he told Jeremy that he wanted to go out to apologize to Sophia. He actually

out to apologize to Sophia.
Since Sophia had just gone out and could not have walked far, Jeremy agreed to let him go alone.
However, Bryan did not see Joey after he came out of the private booth. He decided to walk one round
