    Liam snorted coldly before breaking into a smile at Mia. “Mia’s right. You’re smart! He’s an idiot.”


    Timothy, who sessfully won the bid for the painting, could feel a tag reading “idiot” hanging over his


    neck.


    He grasped his bidding number tightly, staring at the painting wordlessly. The triumph gave way to


    annoyance almost instantly.


    At that moment, Maya spoke to an attendant. “Reserve the painting. We’ll pay for everything altogether


    later.”


    Her gaze on Mia for a second as she added, “Auction is meant to be apetition. Timothy bought the


    painting for Mrs. Barrett Senior.”


    Knowing that it was a gesture meant to save Timothy’s pride, Mia merely smiled.


    Still, it didn’t quell the frustration bubbling in him.


    Soon, the item on disy was that diamond ne with a minimum bid of 300 thousand dors.


    Liam blurted, “Mia, I’m going to buy it for you. You’ll look stunning with it!”


    A sister–fool definitely thought that anything on the face of the earth suited their sisters.


    Before Mia could say anything, Maya raised her number. “400 thousand.”


    Silence dawned upon Liam for a second when he heard that. He wondered, “Why is everyone stealing


    away my gift for Mia? Just when will they stop their games?”


    He lifted his number. “500 thousand!”


    Every bid increased by 100 thousand this time, once again receiving people’s attention.


    Maya frowned, and then she forced a smile. “Do you like this ne too, Mr. Lane?”


    “Mia likes it, so don’t you dare raise your number again!” Failing to buy that painting was already


    annoying him enough.


    She didn’t dare to challenge him. If he were to expose her true origin as an orphan, staying in Bern City


    would be impossible for her.


    She barely maintained the smile on her face. “I shall back off then.”


    Her gaze drew back to Timothy after she said that.


    She thought that he should be smart enough to see that Mia was in a new rtionship.


    Now that Maya had announced her vanquishment, Liam thought that it would be his win for sure.


    Until Timothy raised his number again. “One million.”


    Even Mia stared at him incredulously, wondering if he was out of his mind.


    The previous bid was merely 500 thousand dors, but he doubled it!

    Was he insane?


    Shelly imed in an undertone, “Ms. Lane, I’m pretty sure Timothy is set on buying you the ne.


    Please be rest assured.”


    An uneasy smile stered on Maya’s face. Was Timothy really buying it for her?


    She wasn’t confident about the answer, but a voice in her head told her that he was doing it for Mia.


    Now, another man was treating Mia with care and love. Someone of high status as Timothy wouldn’t be


    able to stomach such humiliation, would he?


    Things were getting interesting.


    Meanwhile, Mia overheard thedies‘ conversation. The corner of her lips twitched as she agreed with


    Shelly’s statement.


    Mia could tell who Timothy was buying the ne for.


    Liam lifted his number again. “Two million.”


    The atmosphere heightened to another level of excitement.


    The bystanders were losing interest in the items on disy. Rather, thepetition was more enticing


    to specte inparison.


    Mia’s heart palpitated when she heard the amount. She couldn’t understand why Liam joined Timothy’s


    antics.


    She intended to stop Liam, but he simply raised her hand for the bid instead. Asking him to give up on


    that ne was out of the question.


    Soon, the bid skyrocketed to five million dors.


    Blood rushed up to her head, and her heart was on the verge of leaping out of her chest.


    The five million dors bid was from Liam. It was a huge number.


    The sight of Liam holding Mia’s hand was an eyesore to Timothy, who then raised his number


    expressionlessly. “Ten million.”
