His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 1398

Barton immediately held his father by the arm enthusiastically. "Dad, please slow down. I heard that there's good stuff put up on auction by Encyclo Hall, a Longevity Pill that can prolong life. When the time comes, we will bid one for you, Dad."

Master Luo nodded with a smile and walked past Fade as if he didn't know him at all —as if Fade wasn't even there. He left, surrounded by a group of people.

Sandra held Audrea's arm as they walked past. The two girls frowned and glared at Fade, snorting at him with contempt.

Dante, Kaeran, and the others who stood beside Fade shot a worried look at him as they saw their interaction.

"Mr. Chen, how dare the Luo family treat you with disrespect? How about we get in their way during the auction later?"

"That's right. We can't let them have it their way."

Fade waved his hand and said faintly, "There's no need to do that. Just bid for the things you want. Let's not care about them."

The seats in the auction house were arranged according to the guests' status and influence. The more influential ones were seated in the front row, whereas the less powerful ones could only sit in the back row.

The Luo family's status was relatively superior, so they were seated in the middle of the second row.

The only families seated in front of them were the Yang family, the Hsing family, and the other families related to the hidden family. There were also a few of Encyclo Hall's respected guests in the front row.

After the Luo family settled into their seats, Sandra turned to look at Fade, who was chatting behind her. A mocking sneer grew on her face. "Ha! That guy actually has the audacity to attend such an occasion. He should look at himself, who does he think he is? He'll probably just hide in the corner and watch."

Gentro frowned and lectured, "Sandra, don't say that about Mr. Chen."

"Brother, why are you so protective of Fade? He has already fallen out with our family, and Joey has also clearly rejected you. Why are you still trying to please them even when they have given you the cold shoulder? You are embarrassing our family," Sandra replied.

Gentro's face sank when she brought up Joey's name. He didn't say anything, he just sighed and lowered his head.

Audrea's face fell as she noticed his reaction.

Just then, Manager Liu appeared. The people immediately got up and greeted him warmly.

Master Luo stood up to greet him too. He shook his hands and they exchanged pleasantries.

Everyone was polite towards Manager Liu, not because of how good he was at doing his job, but because of the company that he represented — Encyclo Hall, an Earth Level Clan company.

The statuses of these families from Capital City were inferior compared to an Earth Level company like Encyclo Hall.

Manager Liu was already used to this kind of interaction. After he finished making small talk with everyone, he strode towards the back of the auction house.

Everyone's eyes followed him, looking back curiously as they gossiped.

"What is he going to do back there? Are there any guests who deserve to be greeted by Manager Liu over there?"

"It can't be. Those who are worth being greeted by Manager Liu in person have already been arranged to sit in the front rows. How could they

be sitting in the back?"
