The inspection was stern when they entered through the door. The guests needed to show theirinvitation, and they had to pass through an x-ray machine.

Gwendolyn had attended auctions before, but she had never been to one as strict as this.

After a female security guard inspected her body, Gwendalyn had to go through the x-ray machine topass the inspection.

The three went to the entrance after the inspection was done.

There was a long hallway in the building with exquisitely sculpted pillars.

Gwendolyn looked around carefully. This place must be pretty ancient.

Upon entry, she immediately spotted many recognizable faces. Gwendolyn soon understood the guestswho were invited here were well-known people of Avenport.

Kevin and Lucas were also there, and they walked toward the three.

“I didn't expect you to participate this year, Pat.”

Patrick had never taken part in the past few years.

He asked, “Can't we enter yet?”

Patrick noticed Gwendolyn's nose had turned red from the cold. Her skin was fair, and she could not

take the chilly weather.

When it was cold, her nose and ears would turn red.

Kevin rolled up his sleeves to check the time. “The event starts at half-past three. We should be able toenter in a few minutes.”

Lucas scanned the people in the building. “Is there anything good this year?”

There's quite a crowd here. Is there a rumor about the items at this auction? Is that why the eventattracted so many people?

Kevin whispered, “I came here for Portrait of a Beauty. I love beautiful women.”

Hearing that, Lucas smiled. “Do you think you'll meet her in your dreams if you buy the portrait?”

This brat. Why does he need a portrait of an ancient woman when he's surrounded by women left andright?

Raising an eyebrow, Kevin stated, “You don't understand. Talk to me when you learn about art oneday.”

Patrick was silent. He knew what would be auctioned that day as the organizer had sent him a list. Hehad never attended this event, so the organizer hoped he could show up.

He had his eyes on a necklace from an ancient period. The necklace was made from a meteor and wasnamed Starry Tears.

According to legend, the necklace would bring luck to people. It could also make two people who werein love with each other reunite in every lifetime to fall in love and protect each other.

This was also the first time Lucas came to such an event. Usually, he would not take leaves at this timeof the year, and he had no time to attend.

Turning to Patrick, he asked, “What about you, Pat? Do you have any insider info?”

The auction in Merry Town was a very mysterious event. The usual auction would always give out a listof items, and people would attend if there were something they liked.

However, only invited guests could participate in the auction in Merry Town.

Not to mention, the auctioned items were kept confidential. One could only replace out what was auctionedon the day of the event.

Many people hoped to take part, but they were not qualified.

Soon, some staff came out to inform the people they were allowed to enter the hall.

Taking a step forward, Kevin suggested, “Let's sit together.”

The three wealthy young men had their private rooms on the second floor. It was comfortable, and theview was clear.

Gwendolyn was walking at the back when someone suddenly patted her shoulder.

“Gwen.”

She turned around and was shocked to see Zayden.

“Oh, you're here too, Zayden!” Gwendolyn felt like laughing at herself upon realizing what she had said.

The Surrington family was also a prestigious family in Avenport. It was only natural for them to inviteZayden.

“Did you come here with Patrick?”

Zayden had noticed the man close to them. Coincidentally, Patrick turned around to look forGwendolyn, and his eyes met Zayden's.

Gwendolyn smiled. “Yes. I'm working as his secretary right now. I go wherever he goes.”
