When Yvonne finally got home, she placed Andrew’s posthumous work in the best spot in her workshop.
“Sorry it took so long for me to return to the design world you loved so much, Dad. From now on, you can watch me gradually grow here.”
Although she’d spent the night in the hospital yesterday, she was still in good spirits. She sat down quietly and began sorting through the large amount of information regarding the history of intangible cultural heritage.
Isabel didn’t return even after it got dark because she had a date that day, so Yvonne made herself some pasta for dinner.
She suddenly thought of Samuel and sent him a message asking if he could call him. Soon, she received a call from him.
“Are you resting well, Mr. Hover?” she asked.
On the other end of the line, Samuel was sitting at his desk in his study, dressed in his pajamas. The desk was covered with documents awaiting processing.
“Yes, I rested well. Did you need me for something, Ms. Jamison?‘
“I’d like to ask you for your account number so I can transfer the money for the auction item to you.”

before he replied, “Actually… I haven’t paid yet.”
“Huh? Did you buy the auction item on credit back in Tidalus?” Yvonne asked, feeling dumbfounded.
She didn’t think that the organizer would just deliver a collector’s item to them without even receiving the money for it.
“I reserved the item in advance, so there was no public bidding involved. You can consider it a credit purchase of the item at its original price, which I pulled off thanks to my reputation. I have a very recognizable face, after all,” he explained seriously.
Yvonne, who’d still been feeling stunned just now, immediately changed her tune. “The original price is really good. Your face works wonders, Mr. Hover.”
Samuel subconsciously touched his face at that.

“How should I pay, then?” asked Yvonne.

Samuel glanced up at Howard, who was standing opposite him, and said, “I heard that the organizer of the auction has also come to Jeriton City, so I’ll ask Howard to take you to him tomorrow. You can just pay him directly then.”
“Alright. I’ll be waiting for Mr. Wellington’s call, then.”
After the call ended, Howard pointed uncertainly at himself and asked, “Aren’t you going with her yourself tomorrow, Mr. Hover?”
“Do you want to handle these documents in my place, then?” Samuel asked in displeasure.
He was clearly also upset that he wouldn’t have the time to meet Yvonne tomorrow.
Jared drove over to Jarjan Hotel and met Shane in the lobby.
Shane reported his findings. “I discovered that Luther will be meeting with the auction’s organizer, Leon Jacques, in the Amaryllis Room tonight.

“Although the auction venue in Tidalus doesn’t belong to the Feland family, the venue for the auction here will be provided by them. It looks like Luther and Leon have a rather good relationship”
He noticed that Jared had a nasty expression on his face and asked “So, Luther got between you and Yvonne, hub? I already reminded Yvonne that she shouldn’t cause your relationship with Luther to turn completely hostile.”
“It’s not Yvvy’s fault. Luther’s the one who has ill intentions toward her,” Jared said coldly before patting Shane on the shoulder. “I don’t want to put you in a difficult position, so I’ll meet with Luther myself.”
“Please don’t drag your personal matters into official business, Jared. You have to handle this with caution.”
Shane really did want to avoid having to confront Luther. Fortunately, Anthony would be arriving soon.
He was actually a little angry at Yvonne’s willfulness. Her beauty was practically a weapon that threatened to ruin everything. Meanwhile, Luther was personally entertaining the team responsible for the auction in the Amaryllis Room.
The most expensive wines were set on the table, and Luther’s mannerisms were really putting the team in high spirits.

Just as Leon was indulging in the wine, his phone suddenly rang.
When he saw that it was a call from Howard, he immediately sobered up and stood. “I’m going to take a call first, Mr. Feland.”
“Please feel free, Mr. Jacques,” replied Luther, who was drinking and chatting with everyone.
However, as soon as Leon stepped out, Jared appeared in the doorway.
Luther turned around when he heard Jared’s voice, then narrowed his eyes and stood up with his wine glass in hand. “Mr. Ford? Did you come here uninvited to help yourself to a meal? You’re not welcome here.”
