She was skillful with her hands. She could cook, bake, play the piano, and draw.
Not engaging in any romantic activities between men and women, he surprisingly found this innocent way of getting along quite interesting.
Russell felt like he was under her spell.
It was not the original intention!
But now, he is being led by her nose!
At the thought of this, his handsome face darkened slightly. Just as Audrey had finished tying his tie for him, he pushed her away. Audrey took a few steps back and looked at Russell, whose face suddenly changed. She pursed her lips and said, “What’s gotten into you again?”
Russell looked at Audrey’s delicate and dust-free face and clenched his teeth tightly. “You, a mere maid, dare to speak to your master in such a tone?”
Audrey turned around and went to do something else.
Russell stared at her slender figure and muttered under his breath.
| don’t know if | scolded her or scolded myself.
The longer he spent time with her, the more he realized that he couldn't bring himself to be cruel.
Russell, with a slightly irritable and gloomy expression, left Southern Part.
After Russell left, it didn’t take long for Audrey to leave the Southern Part as well.

Chapter 339 Encounter at the Banquet
The banquet was held in the Northern Part. Audrey walked over, but the guests had not arrived yet. The ser vants were busy decorating the banquet venue.
A middle-aged woman walked over and saw Audrey looking around. She frowned and said, “You were transferred here to help, right? Hurry up and go inside to help set up the snacks, be quick and efficient!”
Audrey nodded and entered the Northern Part.
She was assigned to the meal area, where she arranged the snacks prepared in the kitchen and served them on the self-service table in the backyard.
At half past seven, the guests started arriving one by one.
The butler in charge of tonight’s banquet noticed Audrey's distinctive. appearance and instructed her to serve in the banquet hall. Audrey carried a tray with champagne, gracefully moving among the guests.
Not long after, there came a burst of noise at the entrance of the gate.
Sterling came over, dressed in a handmade black suit from a luxury brand today. The expensive fabric had no wrinkles, enveloping his tall. and stern figure. His soft black hair was parted to the side, revealing a handsome and full forehead. The contours of his face were as if carved by a divine hand, flawless in their attractiveness.
He stood with one hand in his pocket, while the other hand naturally hung down, adorned with an expensive wristwatch. His whole body exuded the refinement and sophistication of a successful upper-class individual.
He came alone, without a female companion by his side. With his handsome and cold appearance, his narrow and cold eyes, Audrey felt
[e)
that he had become even colder and more distant than half a month
ago.
Many socialites were eager to approach Sterling when they saw him coming alone. They wanted to strike up a conversation with him.
But Sterling’s intimidating aura kept everyone at a distance, and no one dared to approach him. Moreover, the high society ladies knew that the Howard family and the Goodwin family had a marriage agreement.
Alyssa saw Sterling and immediately went up to greet him.
“You came!” Alyssa, who was used to being spoiled, hadn’t visited Sterling since he was hospitalized with the insect virus and told her to leave when he woke up.
She overestimated her charm too much, thinking that she was different from those women who actively pursued Sterling.
| didn’t expect that | would still be completely ignored by him.
After the hospital told her to leave, he never contacted her again.
Alyssa had to find a way out for herself. “I thought you wouldn’t come to my birthday party, thank you for coming.”
The Bush family sent an invitation to the Howard family, and Sterling, as the eldest son of the household, naturally came over. He presented the gift to Alyssa and said in a deep and magnetic voice, “Happy birthday.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Alyssa wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this time, seeing Sterling was slightly different from before.. Her gaze lingered on his face for a few seconds, with its chiseled features, strikingly handsome facial structure, and naturally Chapter 341 She was captured by him.
Shawn sat back on the couch, with his long legs elegantly crossed. “I heard that Landon would visit the black market auction house every now and then.”
Sterling showed no interest in Landon’s matter, with an indifferent and cold expression, and did not respond.
Shawn seemed to have thought of something and raised his eyebrows, looking at Sterling. “On Alyssa’s birthday party night, weren't you at the Bush family?”
Sterling let out a low groan.
“| heard that the Bush family father and son almost got into a fight over a maid!”
Sterling’s face immediately darkened a bit, “Why believe in hearsay?”
Shawn squinted his eyes beneath his glasses, “You wouldn’t happen to not know Russell’s maid. Audrey, would you?”
Sterling pursed his cold thin lips and said, “What does it have to do with me?”
Shawn noticed that nowadays, Sterling no longer had any emotions. when Audrey was mentioned.
Completely removing her from the bottom of my heart, treating her like a stranger!
Shawn saw that he was unwilling to mention it again, so he stopped saying anything.

The antique vase that Shawn wanted to bid on was second to last. Generally, people who participate in black market auctions would leave early after acquiring something they liked.
As expected, Shawn managed to take a photo of the antique vase.
He and Sterling were getting ready to leave the box when suddenly, the lights on the auction stage dimmed.
A beam of white light shone on the host, and the host exclaimed excitedly, “Ladies and gentlemen, the final auction item tonight, a rare beauty that is seen once in a hundred years.”
After the host left the stage, a group of dancers wearing cool outfits. came on stage.
They danced enchantingly.
The music reached its climax as a white figure descended from the sky. The girl was wearing a flowing white chiffon dress, with a veil covering her face, revealing only her clear, sparkling deer-like eyes. Her long, black, silky hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her exposed skin was as fair and smooth as a peeled eggshell.
She caused quite a sensation as soon as she appeared.
She did not reveal her full appearance, yet she was as beautiful as a fairy untouched by any dust.
The gauzy long dress outlined her slender and delicate figure. After landing on the stage, she began to lead the dance.
She could spin and bend down perfectly.
She held a white ribbon in her hand, dancing gracefully like a spinning butterfly, gentle and alluring.

Her actions were not se xy, not bold, and not provocative, but they could easily stir a man’s heart.
Inside the second-floor VIP box.
Shawn and Sterling, who were about to leave, sat back down again. Shawn looked at Sterling.
Sterling held a cigarette in his hand, and the rising smoke blurred his silhouette, but it couldn’t hide his commanding presence. “That girl. she looks a bit like Russell's maid!” Shawn raised an evebrow with a smirk.
Sterling’s dark and deep narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the highly flexible girl on the stage, his slender eyebrows involuntarily furrowing.
This was the place for jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. What did she come running here for?
After the dance was finished, the host reminded everyone that they could start bidding.
Shawn glanced at Sterling, whose expression was secretive, and pushed the wire-framed glasses on his nose. “What's the asking price?”
Sterling, with his tall, cold and stern figure, leaned against the sofa without moving. Based on his understanding of Audrey, she wouldn't be foolish enough to put herself in a dangerous situation.
She came here, possibly with her own purpose!
Sterling flicked the cigarette ash off his fingertips and said in a low, cold voice, “No need.”
There was no movement in Sterling’s box, but the other boxes had

Especially when Audrey unveiled her veil, her exquisite and stunning face was fully exposed to everyone’s sight. The buyers who liked beautiful women would never let her slip away.
Finally. Audrey was auctioned off at the highest price in the third private room.
Audrey was taken to the room of the buyer in compartment number three.
The room arranged by the auction house was romantic and full of artistic conception. Audrey sat on the edge of the bed, with her long and thick eyelashes slightly drooping.
Not long after, the door was pushed open.
Landon walked in.
He saw a girl sitting on the edge of the bed, with her head down and her eyelashes like tv
her eyelashes like two small brushes. His expression was momentarily dazed
“Aurora...”
Audrey heard Landon’s calling to her and clenched her hands in front. of her, slightly tightening them into fists.
Landon walked up to Audrey and lifted her delicate chin with his finger.
Taking a good look at Audrey’s appearance, Landon squinted slightly and asked, “Why did you come to a place like this?” “For money, my dad spent all my pocket money. Your son is stingy again. | want to buy a designer handbag. If | run out of money, lll sell

Landon frowned, surprised that the daughter Aurora had given birth to tuned out to be so shallow!
“Follow me, and you won't be short of money in the future.”
Audrey looked at Landon. her smile full and accompanied by a hint of shyness. “Of course, you caught me, so from now on, | am yours.”

Landon grabbed Audrey and she didn’t stand firm. She held onto his arm with one hand and propped herself up on his shoulder with the other.
Atiny grain of rice-sized object slipped into Landon’s suit pocket as it followed the movement of her hand.
And at that moment, the door was forcefully kicked open from the outside!
An angry figure stormed in.
“Would you dare to touch her finger?”
Russell came over, his hands clenched into fists, his face turning pale to the extreme.
Seeing the scene where Landon had his arm around Audrey's shoulder. in the room, his eyes turned crimson.
He rushed forward and pulled Audrey away from Landon, glaring at him with uncontrollable anger. “Father, she is my woman, how dare
you touch her?”
Landon glanced at Audrey behind Russell. Her long lashes were slightly lowered, her lips were tightly pressed, and her expression carried a hint of panic and embarrassment.
Landon raised his hand and said. “You go out first.”
Audrey turned around and walked towards the room’s exit.
Russell glanced back at her and said, “Wait for me downstairs.”
Audrey didn’t say yes, nor did she say no.
After she went downstairs, she found a place to change her clothes and then got into the private detective’s car.
She turned off the phone she usually used and took out another one.
After about half an hour. Russell and Landon walked out, one after the other.
Russell stood in front of the sports car and looked around, but he didn’t see Audrey's figure. He dialed her phone number again, but it was turned off.
He cursed under his breath, got into the sports car, and sped away.
Landon, on the other hand, got into a black car and drove off in a different direction.
Audrey said to the private detective, “Follow quietly.”
Audrey placed a tracker in Landon’s suit pocket, but she didn’t dare to follow the private detective’s car too closely for fear of being.

Landon’s car drove to the Bush family’s secret base in the outskirts.
“Ms. Watson, | can only help you up to this point,” the private detective said to Audrey.
Audrey glanced at the vast mansion hidden in the dense jungle and clenched her fist slightly. “Even if it's a dangerous place, | still want to go in and take a look.”
