Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 509

“Whoever is behind all this doesn’t want you dead.” Pierre rolled his eyes at Selena. “If their aim was to kill you, they wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to get you here.”

Pierre’s words got Selena thinking for a while, and she agreed with him as she saw no point for the mastermind to lure her all the way here just to poison her. Thus, she picked up an orange and peeled off its skin before relishing it.

Not long after that, the auction began, then the auctioneer proceeded to present every single antique that was put up for sale. As the event continued, the antiques slowly found their ways to their respective new owners one by one, but Selena, who was enjoying her snacks, appeared uninterested in all of them since she was after the bracelet.

Selena anxiously stared at the auctioneer’s scarlet expression on the screen as the man held the gavel in his hand in an agitated manner. I guess whoever made that bid didn’t want to waste any more time! “30 million from Room 23! Anyone else?”

Pierre and Selena made their bid in Room 23.

“40 million from Room 8 once again! Wait a second! Someone is offering 50 million from Room 11! 50 million going once…”
