Chapter 1475

It was just as Corinne expected-Sophia had been bidding against Lucas to artificially inflate the price!

The piece of land in Serenity Bay belonged to Sophia's father, so she pretended to be a patron to raise

the price and bring in more profit for her family.

What she did was a big no-no in the world of auction.

’You can leave after putting the snacks there,’ ordered Sophia. She continued to sip her coffee without

looking up as she thought it was a waitress who had come in.

It was not until she did not receive a response that she thought something was not right. Her eyes

became as wide as saucers the moment she looked up.

’Corinne?! What are you doing here?"

Sophia's first reaction was shock and disgust, but those emotions were quickly replaced by guilt.

Fearing Corinne would bump into Benjamin and Jeremy, Sophia quickly looked behind Corinne to

check if they were coming back.

"Miss Sophia, don't you think what you did was extremely despicable?" asked Corinne with a mocking

smile.

Sophia frowned at being called despicable. "What did I do? Corinne, even if you're tired of being a

spinster, it still doesn't give you the right to come barging in here to insult me."

Corinne stepped into the booth and closed the door softly.

’Your family owns that piece of land in Serenity Bay, no?" she asked.

Sophia's eyes darkened. "Why are you asking that? What does that have to do with you?"

"It has everything to do with me because I was the one who bid one billion dollars for it just now!"

Sophia was stunned. "Oh, so it was you. What's the matter? Are you here to pick a fight because you

can't cough up the money? Corinne, you shouldn't have bidded so high if you can't afford to pay. Don't

tell me you want to back out now 'cause that's illegal!"

Corinne scoffed. "What about you? Do you think it's legal for you to bid on the piece of land that

belongs to your father so you can artificially increase the price?"

Tsk! Do you have any proof that that piece of land in Serenity Bay belongs to my father? If you don't,

please get out of here now. Otherwise, I'm going to call security.’

Sophia was feeling very guilty at that moment. It was not because she did something illegal but

because she was worried that Corinne would bump into Jeremy and Benjamin.

She would be in deep trouble if that were to happen!

Corinne frowned. "While it's true I don't have any proof right now, I'm not going to let you rip me off.

Let's go talk to the person in charge after the auction is finished to see whether your bid counts!’

Sophia could hear the faint sound of a wheelchair rolling coming from outside. Panicking, she shouted,

"Get out of here this instant! This is a private booth, and you have no right to be in here!"

Corinne only went there to see if her hunch was correct. She had no plans to argue with Sophia, so she

threw the other woman a glance and walked out of the booth.

TH deal with her after the auction is finished,' she thought.

Jeremy was just bringing Benjamin' back after Corinne left. They would have bumped into each other if

Corinne had left a little later.

However, Corinne took the other way to go back to her private booth while Jeremy came back from the

other direction. In the end, they missed each other again.

Even though Corinne did not see him, Benjamin did see her walking out angrily from Sophia's private

booth.

He narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he could not take his eyes off her. Moreover, he felt a

tightness in his chest as though his heartstrings were being pulled.

The real Bryan had also seen Corinne coming out of the private booth, but the only thing he could do

was blink guiltily.

'Why did Mommy come out of that private booth? Did she go there to catch me?'
