Chapter 113: Wanted to Form a Marriage Alliance

The host in the middle said:

“The first ‘Spring‘ is a treasure passed down from the Autiland royal family. Please seize the

opportunity, the starting bid is five million.”

This price was not considered low.

But people started bidding one after another.

It had been traded up to ten million.

The woman in front seemed to want more, she kept raising her sign.

Gradually, no one dared to argue with her anymore.

“Twelve million…”

Cecilia held up a sign, signaling with a beaming smile.

The person in front: “Fourteen million.”

“Sixteen million.” Cecilia said without any pressure.

“Eighteen million.”

The other party hesitated a bit.

Cecilia raised her sign again: “Twenty–four million.”

This price made everyone take notice.

The woman who had been bidding earlier finally couldn’t help but turn around with a cold‘ face.

When she turned around, Sophia realized, it was actually Ava.

The one sitting next to her was Camille.

Ava also paused slightly when she looked at Cecilia.

“Twenty–four million and one times…”

“Twenty–four million times…”

“Twenty–four million three times, sold, this pink diamond now belongs to Ms. Mooney!”

The host happily congratulated Cecilia. Cecilia smiled, her mood not at all dampened upon seeing Ava.

However, Sophia wasn’t surprised that Ava gave up.

The financial control of the Clement family was in Kamden’s hands, he only gave her enough pocket

money each month.

Allowing her to freely photograph certain collectibles and luxury items, she simply couldn’t do as she

pleased.

Twenty million was her limit.

But it was not Cecilia’s limit.

Ava then shot a pair of nine million earrings to save face.

Cecilia then bought a pair of men’s diamond cufflinks and rubies, returning home with her hands full,

very happy.

After it ended.

She went straight to sign the bill and pay, asking for the items to be delivered home.

Ava, however, walked over with a smile, accompanied by Camille.

Since learning that Cecilia was Brycen’s wife.

She was both envious and unwilling in her heart.

But in the end, she hid her jealousy and greeted with a smile:

“Mrs. Cruise, it’s been such a long time, hasn’t it? You should come to these events more often. Look at

how much you’re standing out today!”

Cecilia chuckled, “I am an actress after all, I have plenty of limelight, I don’t need to show off here.

Besides, I have my own career, I’m very busy, I don’t have time to come often, unlike Mrs. Clement

who has plenty of time.”

Ava’s face stiffened slightly.

Wasn’t this openly looking down on her for not having her own career and being idle?

Perhaps Cecilia was still holding a grudge because of what happened last time.

Ava paused. Normally, she would have turned on her heel and left by

now.

But it was different now, Brycen’s wife was not comparable to those noble ladies behind her.

Ava pretended not to hear, laughing as she said:

“I knew you’ve always been excellent, and I really liked the plays you performed. Your son, Ms. Cruise,

was also obedient, and I heard he was still single?”

She tugged at Camille, urging her to step forward:

“My daughter was single too!”

Camille frowned, quite unwilling, she only had Derick in her heart!

Cecilia glanced at them and slowly smiled:

“It was true that he was single, but we were not getting married. He had someone he liked and would

marry when the time was right.”

Ava had a look of disappointment on her face:

“I see!”

She paused, suddenly remembering something:

“Right, I heard you have a daughter? How old is she? She’s not married, is she?”

Cecilia’s expression darkened, her eyes cold and clear as she looked at Ava and replied:

“Did I hear that Mr. Clement is engaged? When is the wedding?”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ava’s face:

“No, not at all, they are still getting to know each other. My son is still single!”

Compared to Cecilia and Brycen’s daughter, what was Annie?

Cecilia gave a meaningful smile and called out to Sophia, who was having snacks not far away:

“Sweetie, come and say hello to Mrs. Clement and Ms. Clement?”

Sophia paused, walked over, and merely gave a polite yet distant nod: “Mrs. Clement, Ms. Clement.”

Ava’s face fell as soon as she saw her.

“Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cruise was quite familiar with this person. Don’t be fooled by her innocent

appearance!”

Cecilia looked at her with a smirk.

“Mrs. Clement was overthinking. Sophia was my precious darling!”

She was speaking when a man in a crisp suit approached from not far

away

“Auntie. if I had known you were coming with Sophia, I would have come to pick you up!”

Derick smiled gently, looking at Sophia.

Sophia also chuckled, giving a slight nod as if to greet.

Camille’s complexion changed instantly

However, Derick completely ignored her and then walked over to Sophia’s side.

‘I just ran into a friend who is in the industrial sector, would you like me to introduce you?”

Sophia raised an eyebrow, “Alright then!”

Cecilia nodded, and the two of them left, one after the other.

Asa couldn’t help but roll her eyes behind.

It seemed like Derick knew you?”

Cecilia chuckled, “Of course. I considered him as my son–in–law!”

amille’s body paused slightly, her face turning pale.

Her eyes turned red instantly, and she covered her face and ran out.

Ava frowned, then turned to Cecilia with a smile:

“If there really was good news, don’t forget to invite us for a celebratory drink.”

“Of course.”

Cecilia arrived home with the things she had taken.

However, she had left Sophia behind.

After exchanging pleasantries with others, Sophia and Derick arrived at the swing set in the garden,

where she sat and twisted her ankle.

Having worn high heels for a whole day, I was somewhat tired.

Derick gently pushed from behind, the warmth of his palm seeping through the fabric onto her shoulder.

However, without any extra thoughts, she had reached mid–air.

Derick stood aside, his gentle and handsome brows and eyes carrying a hint of faint fatigue.

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Sophia looked at his profile under the dim light, her expression momentarily dazed.

The light and shadow were unclear, his dark eyes seemed to carry a brilliant glow, lazy and tired, as if

he had suddenly relaxed from the lense and serious situation inside.

Sophia swayed a few times, gradually stopping with her foot, and ooked up at him:

“Mr. Woodward, weren’t you happy?”

Derick paused, silent for a few seconds, then said:

“Suddenly, I wanted to go back to Mautiland.”

“Then you should have gone back.”

“But Mautiland doesn’t have you,” Derick said casually.

But it made Sophia slightly stunned, as if someone had pinched her heart, like a butterfly landing in the

palm of her hand, an indescribable feeling.

The two people locked eyes for a second, the man’s narrow eyes were as dark as ink.

It made the viewers anxious.

Sophia couldn’t help but look away.

Derick chuckled, his collar slightly open, exuding a hint of nobility. He began to speak in a gentle voice:

“How about you go to Mautiland with me?”

Sophia frowned slightly, “Derick, we are just friends.”

Derick laughed, “Never mind, I’ll stay.”

Answered not the question asked, but had already responded.
