Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 105

There was only one viewing platform on the seventh floor. It was solely reserved for the grandmaster of Astral Nova. For years, it had remained vacant, but now it was occupied.

Excitement rippled through the auction venue as attendees realized the mysterious grandmaster had arrived.

"Tonight's auction highlight, the Eclipse Stone, is truly a precious treasure. It has even drawn out the mysterious grandmaster of Astral Nova to make a public appearance."

Samantha stood and glanced up at the seventh floor. She could see a figure but couldn't make out any details. She was disappointed and returned to her seat.

"Hera, it seems like your plan for tonight might be going south. And since you're not particularly fond of your young uncle anyway, why not just give up?"

The grandmaster's presence threatened Hera's plan as he held the authority to double the highest bid on any auction item at will.

While Samantha fretted, Hera remained unfazed. She lounged in her chair and casually played on her phone as though she had everything under control despite the grandmaster's appearance.

Samantha couldn't resist asking, "So, tell me, how much do you have on you for this auction?"

With the grandmaster suddenly showing up, Hera's calm demeanor made her the only unfazed individual in the room.

"We'll see how the bidding goes," she replied calmly.

Samantha was surprised by Hera's answer.

"So, are you aiming to make a serious profit here?"

"Do you want to know?"

Hera glanced at Samantha and deliberately let her words hang in the air.

Samantha nodded eagerly.

"After the bidding starts, someone will foot the bill."

Hera lifted her phone.

Hera's mischievous smirk caught Samantha's eye, and a thought crossed her mind.

She wondered, "Could it be that some sucker was swindled by Hera again?"

Upon entering Room 509, a woman with a fair complexion helped herself to a glass of cold water. It turned out to be Camille.

She had heard about the Eclipse Stone, the highlight of the Astral Nova Auction, but it didn't pique her interest.
