The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 497

Lunch hour soon arrived. She walked out of the exit and after some thought, she drove to the auction house.

"Is there anything I can help you with, miss? Our auction will begin at 1pm. We auctioned off a mansion earlier today and we'll be auctioning off an amazing antique later." When a beautiful female staff noticed Verian, she immediately approached her with a professional smile.

"Oh, I wanted to ask if it was true that an astronomical price was offered during the auction for the mansion this morning?" Selena probed after biting her lip. She felt nervous after asking the question, worried she might feel awful about the answer.

"Of course, it's true. That man was incredible. He's the son-in-law of the Taylor family...and he spent ninety-five million bucks to win the bid for that mansion!"

As the staff spoke, she exclaimed enviously, "Truly, the wealthiest amongst the wealthiest. He actually had that much money to buy it on a whim!"

"You, how do you know he's the son-in-law of the Taylor family?"

Selena felt unhappy after hearing it. Apart from Fane,

who else would be referred to as the son-in-law of the Taylor family, could there be another person?

"Of course, I know. Everyone knew!"

The staff immediately said, "He had a bet with Young Master Ivan. Both of them kept adding to their bids. It was insane, I tell you! They said that whoever lost the bid for the mansion, the loser had to shine the winner's shoe, and it turned out that the son-in-law won! Oh right, Young Master Ivan was the one who mentioned that detail. He said that person was the son-in-law of the Taylor family. If he hadn't, even we would've no idea!"

Selena had an odd expression as she said, "Ivan actually polished the son-in-law's shoe?"

"Of course, and since neither of them had a cloth with them, Young Master Ivan was forced to take his shirt off to shine his shoe for him!

"That son-in-law was truly ruthless. He wasn't even afraid of crossing the other person, actually making Young Master Ivan clean the soles of his shoe!" the staff explained.

Selena was picturing the scene in her head, her heart feeling slightly better since Ivan did bully both her and Kylie a lot. If it was not for him being the Young Master of the Taylor family and her cousin, she wanted nothing more than to see him dead.

"Thanks a lot!" she left after a bitter chuckle.

However, what she could be certain of right now was

that Fane did fork out ninety-five million bucks to buy that mansion. That money must have come from that wealthy lady since it would be impossible for Fane to fork out such a huge amount. This also meant Fane was in a secret relationship with that wealthy lady!

"Who exactly is that wealthy lady? Why would she be willing to fork out so much money for Fane?"

Selena frowned. To get some form of confirmation, she remembered Miss Tanya's number was saved in her phone.

With that thought in mind, she gave Miss Tanya a call, "Hello, Miss Tanya? It's me, Selena. I was wondering if you gave an advanced pay to my husband?"

"No. What's up?"

Tanya's voice could be heard from the other end of the call as she said, "Are you guys short on money? Do you need an advance? If you do, just let me know!" "Oh, there's no need. I was just randomly asking! Don't tell Fane about it, okay!"

After Selena hung up, her mind was buzzing.

It seemed Fane had indeed lied to her. He actually had a wealthy lady out there.
