“Okay.” Mia nodded, wanting to go along with Liam. It would be her first time at a charity auction.
After receiving a positive response, he texted in “One Big Happy Family” immediately. “Reaching out to
Dominic for sponsorship. Mia agreed to come along with me to a charity auction.”
Five people wired him money in a heartbeat, all solely for Mia’s allowance to be spent at the charity
auction.
Liam whistled at the notification received upon the successful transactions. “Thank you for the support,
brothers. Love you all.”
Jason texted, “No embezzlement allowed unless you’re expecting a lawyer’s letter.”
Liam replied with a crying emoji, torn by how Jason saw him that way.
If there were a list of a target of Liam’s schemes, Mia’s name would never appear on it.
That night, Mia and Liam went to the charity auction together.
The line of luxurious cars caught her eye. As she guessed, only people loaded with cash could attend

event.
“Mia, if you see anything you like, just buy it.”
She blinked at him. “Liam, aren’t we here to buy things for that actor?”
“It’s his money anyway. He won’t mind spending this little amount of money.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” No matter how she thought about it, it was immoral to splurge on
someone else’s money.
She would never do such a thing anyway.
They talked while heading to the venue.
He handed the bidding number to her. “Nature’s calling. Mia, find your seat according to this number.”
She nodded. While she was searching for her seat, a strong perfume caught her attention.
Frowning, she lifted her head only to find Shelly standing beside Maya.
Mia’s hand that was covering her nose fell to her side in disbelief, not expecting that ill–fated encounter.
“Mia Bowen, what are you doing here?” Shelly strode up to her in disbelief, sizing her up. “Do you know
what
kind of place this is?”
“I know. A charity auction.”
Shelly purposely showed off her branded bag. “You know that very well, and yet you’re here? Anything
here
costs at least hundreds of thousands.

“It’s the number you’ll never see in your bank account after decades of working. How dare you come
here! Who gave you the guts to do so?”
Mia remained indifferent. “Definitely not you.”
Maya joined. “Don’t put it that way, Shelly. A person can still gain experience from attending the event.”
“You’re right. It’s a place where the poor might not be able to come even once in their lifetime.

progress on the renovation and not delay the wedding.”
A sense of triumph adorned Maya’s smile.
Despite that, there was no nuance in Mia’s expression. “Better look for the right person, ladies. I’m not
the person in charge of that house.”
“What’s with that attitude, Mia Bowen?” Shelly had never liked that expression on Mia’s face.
At that moment, Maya called aloud, “Timothy!”
Mia raised her head and waved. Timothy was making his way into the venue in a linen suit
complemented with a dark–grey tie.
She picked the color of the suit herself in the past.
Previously, he loved dressing up in dark colors, so she chose a lot of light–colored suits.
Yet, she never saw him wearing them.
Now, he appeared younger in that light shade.
As a matter of fact, handsome men looked good in anything.
Still, she never expected him to show up in light–colored clothes because he never wore them.
