Chapter 929

Right?!

How could she not be good when she could chase after me for such a long-distance?

Keith looked at me and hesitated to speak.

I could tell that he had things to say to me. I said with a faint smile, "Just say what you want to say

to me."

Keith said, "Although the Fredericks' eldest grandson i s a person who likes collecting all kinds of

valuable artworks and often holds auctions, this is his first charity auction. Also, now that he's

holding it in Salt City, it's hard not to be suspicious about whether he has any impure intentions or

not."

I raised my eyebrows. "So?"

Keith softly sighed. "Mr. Grant hopes that you'll be more careful and be vigilant at all times."

I nodded. "Got it."

Regardless of what the Fredericks' eldest grandson was up to, or why he was holding this charity

auction i n Salt City, I had nothing to do with it. All I cared about was the sandalwood box that

Mother gave me, and whether it was a pair with the sandalwood box at the charity auction.

Keith stopped the car in front of the hotel's entrance.

Before I got out of the car, Keith said, "You can go ahead first, Mrs. Grant. I'll go over in a while."

I nodded and got out of the car.

I pulled out the invitation card from my bag and looked at the cars parked around me, feeling a little

resistant.

I was most reluctant to have dealings with these people from high society. Every word they said was

tinged with flattery and schemes. It was honestly very exhausting.

When I got to the entrance of the banquet hall, I handed the invitation to the staff.

He checked the authenticity of the invitation, then gave me a bid card and a hard card with my seat

number on it.

After finding my seat according to the seat number, I sat down on a chair.

Not long after that, Heidi came over and sat down next to me.

She looked at me and said with a smile, "You came really early."

I nodded. "I stay a little far away, so I was afraid that I'd be late. I made sure to leave early."

Ten minutes before the start of the auction, almost all the guests had arrived. I swept my gaze

across the hall and noticed that there were many people. I exclaimed, "I'm surprised by how many

people are here."

"That’s so strange."

Heidi glanced behind her. "Generally speaking, only those who are financially capable are invited to

charity auctions. There are certainly not this many wealthy people in Salt City. Besides, I've never

met most of the tycoons here. I don’t know a lot of them here today."

I frowned. "It does seem strange now that you mentioned it."

"The tycoons are in front, and the ones at the back are just company employees or experts in

certain industries. I guess Mr. Fredericks is just kind enough t o let ordinary people like us see more

of the world and gain some insights," a young woman sitting next to Heidi said with a smile.

Heidi looked at her. "Which company do you work for?"

The two ladies started talking.

I looked at the auction stand and thought about the words Keith told me in the car.

Was Mr. Fredericks kind?

It did not seem like he was.

A beautiful woman in a halter dress pushed a cart onto the auction stage. There was a square box

in the cart, and it was covered in a black cloth. There must b e a valuable treasure underneath.

Heidi moved closer to my ear and whispered, “The first auction item is probably a rare item. It'll be

used t o hype things up."

I nodded. "I'm learning something new."
