Mia wore a solemn expression.
It seemed like Dominic had personally contacted Tanner after learning the news of the attempted kidnap.
Otherwise, Tanner wouldn't offer an apology this quickly.
She merely spared a fleeting glance at the gold bars brought by Tanner.
She returned her attention to Ginger. "Anything you'd like for an apology gift?"
"Can I request for anything?" Ginger asked.
Tanner quickly explained, "Yes, as long as I can afford it."
Tilting her head, Ginger gave it a serious thought. She raised the bidding number. "I want this."
He paused and gazed at Mia, unable to understand Ginger's words.
Mia stroked Ginger's hair. "If my daughter raises the number, could you give her the item?"
"Not a problem." A weight lifted off his chest.
The items on auction were worth more or less the same as the gold bars. If Ginger took a liking to something worthless, he wouldn't lose anything!
He quickly left, and the room became silent.
"Mommy, why is that uncle so happy?" Ginger was curious.
"Because he thinks that it's his win, but that won't last for long."
Although Mia wouldn't intervene in Ginger's decision, the latter had high standards because she had seen a lot of things since she was young.
Mia looked at the guests on the first floor. "The auction is starting soon. You can buy anything you want."
The next thing she knew, Ginger shoved the bidding number into her hand.
"This is a gift from me to you, Mommy. You can buy anything you want!" Ginger declared proudly.
Feeling touched, Mia hugged Ginger and showered her with kisses. "There's nothing that I want. You can make any purchases as long as you like them. I'm not angry anymore."
