Timothy recognized the woman in red at first nce.


    Following that, another kid in a red cocktail dress showed up in pigtails, looking bright and cute.


    Holding Ginger''s hand, Mia headed to a private lounge on the second floor. The view was better there


    and the rooms were catered for the regrs.


    Timothy watched her vanish from his sight.


    The surrounding men were still gushing about her figure and some of their words crossed the line.


    Timothy''s swept his gaze in their direction. His gaze was so scary that it zipped their lips almost


    instantly. They didn''t say anything further.


    Timothy withdrew his gaze. While staying in his seat, he eyed the private lounge on the second floor


    again.


    Luna, who was sitting behind him, happened to notice his gaze. It irked her. Luna had an inkling of that


    woman''s background.


    ording to the sources, that woman was Monalize, a regr at Xanier Ind.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    She normally hung out with men. People had lost count of the number of men she hung out with.


    Irritated, Luna looked at Caleb. "Caleb, I heard something about that woman when I was on my way


    here. Do you want to know?" "Fancy me. What did you hear?" "She seems to be a regr at Xanier


    Ind. This ce is known for its male hosts. She selects different men for apany for every visit.


    She''s popr because she''s generous with money."


    She sneaked a peek at Timothy to observe his expression, but the mask was covering his face.


    Caleb asked, "That''s it? Nothing more? Nothing about her hometown or real name?"


    She replied slowly, "I haven''t heard anything about that, but I''ve heard that her personality is different


    from Mia Bowen''s. I don''t think she''s Mia Bowen.


    Timothy finally piped up, but in a steely voice, "Mia Bowen, Mia Bowen. Can''t you address her


    respectfully?"


    Feeling wronged, she retorted, "Do I have to call her Mrs. Barrett? You''re divorced, though." "Shut up! If


    you''re going to keep this up, you might as well return." His patience was running thin.


    Luna kept quiet despite the frustration boiling in her.


    Caleb gave her a helpless look. "I told you not to stick your nose in it and not to ask questions. Forget


    it. Let''s focus on the auction."


    Instead of fighting back, Luna let the conversation end. She couldn’t help but look at the second floor.


    Was there something magical about that face? Why was Timothy attracted to Monalize despite her bad


    reputation?


    The auction wouldmence at any moment now.


    The curtains in the private lounge were drawn. Mia was on the couch overlooking the view on the first


    floor.


    Her gazended in Caleb and Timothy''s direction.


    Ginger tiptoed. "Mommy, is Mister here? Where is he?" "The middle seat on the third row, wearing a


    ck and white mask." "Oh, I saw him. Can I call himter?" Ginger showed her pink wristwatch, which


    was repaired.


    Mia swirled a ss of champagne. "If you want to. I wonder what is he going to buy from here."


    At that moment, Tanner knocked on the door and entered the room. "Ms. Lane, I''m terribly sorry. I didn''t


    know that she''s your daughter. Here''s an apology gift. I hope you''ll have a wonderful stay here."


    He felt his life shaved off by ten years the moment he learned the news of Ginger going missing.


    Fortunately, Ginger was safe and sound, otherwise, the Lanes would''ve turned the whole ind upside


    down.
