Darcy had been in the workforce for many years and had gotten good at reading people. She could see at a glance that Julian had no particular skill and relied on his family to live a lavish life.In the family, he was nothing more than dead weight. If not for the fact that he was the only heir, they probably would’ve stripped him of everything and tossed him aside in contempt. A true heir should shoulder the family’s future rather than behave recklessly or spend without restraint..Julian, on the other hand, looked plump and greasy. It was clear that he did not take care of himself and could not control his appetites. A man like that was not worthy of being an heir, unless he was the only option left in the family.Yet, somehow, the same man was supposed to be generous and magnanimous enough to gift them an invitation?The invitation was worth a fortune and highly coveted. How could Julian bear to give it to them?“Why does he need to say it to my face? I already know it’s from hi

“I’ll think about it. We have to take it slow. Even if you’re anxious, it won’t help.”Darcy repeated the same words, but her tone had softened, as if she was starting to give in. That made Agnes relieved. She knew that her daughter needed time to process the news.“I’m glad you understand. I know you’ve been working very hard and putting in a lot of effort, but that isn’t enough. What we need is a powerful backer.”Agnes sighed. Although their life was comfortable, repeated concessions would only lead to them losing more.It was not about being stubborn or clawing their way to the top. If they relaxed for a moment, they would be dragged down by others. In such circumstances, they had no choice but to go with the flow.“That’s enough. I get it. Tomorrow, why don’t you go see if there’s any jewelry or accessories you like?” Darcy changed the topic to avoid discussing it further.She did not want to compromise like that, of bending to something she did not want. Sometimes, fate fel

Darcy soaked in the warm bathwater, feeling every muscle relax. Her mother’s words did not bother her because she had no intention of following Agnes’ plans. She would bide her time and carve her path.After Agnes left the room, she noticed that the beautician had not gone yet, so she asked for a massage as well. Agnes knew how to enjoy life and would never shortchange herself.After a night’s rest, Darcy felt much better. When she stepped out of her room, the living room was already filled with people. The stylists and makeup artists Agnes had arranged yesterday were there, busy setting up.Agnes sat on the sofa, sipping coffee. She had to wear a gown today, so she could not eat whatever she wanted. Otherwise, her belly might stick out and ruin the look.“You’re awake. Go wash up, change into your gown, and come over for makeup. We need to be ready early,” Agnes called out when she saw Darcy coming over.Darcy nodded and went straight to the dining room for breakfast before retur

“Handle it quickly and get inside as soon as you can.”After saying that, Edgar handed the invitation to the staff at the entrance.Not entirely at ease, he added, “My son will be coming in later. Make sure he gets through.”Julian watched his father walk into the auction hall, a trace of embarrassment on his face. Then, his gaze shifted to Agnes, his expression turning cold.He did not expect to see them there. Last time, Agnes had promised that she would play along and set up another encounter with Darcy. However, instead of following through, she had shown up at the auction. Did she plan to use his invitation to get into the auction?“Mr. Hanberg, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for ages.”Agnes greeted him politely, trying her best to please him. Julian’s generosity left a deep impression on her, which was why she had been waiting here specifically for him.“Why were you waiting for me? This invitation only allows two people inside. Don’t get any ideas,” Julian spo

“What’s the point of doing this? We’re here to attend the auction. Why do you have to offend people again?”Darcy could not understand what her mother was thinking, so she tried to stop her. Furthermore, Kaze had been through a lot for her sake. She could not hurt him any further.Before today, she did not know how she would face him, but seeing him now, she still could not bear it. She even regretted being too harsh.“Why don’t you just leave first? This matter has nothing to do with you. Go back for now, and I’ll explain things to you later.” Darcy looked at Kaze with eyes full of guilt.Kaze replied nonchalantly, “This has nothing to do with you either. Why are you apologizing?”His tone was calm and almost casual, as if nothing they said could hurt him.Julian was not pleased. He had wanted to humiliate Kaze and see him fume. That way, Julian’s own elegance would shine in comparison. However, Kaze remained composed.“If you’re a man, just get on your knees and apologize. Oth
