Chapter 87 Did You Miss Me?
Another troublemaker?
Gwenda remained unmoved and did not want to talk to her.
Justina thought that she was being glum and smiled smugly. "I heard that when Mr. Morel was with you,
he kept leaving on business trips. Look at him now, how he dotes on Gretchen! He doesn't want to
leave her at all. Not only that, he just said that he was going to buy the "Heart of the Ocean" for
Gretchen. I doubt that you've been treated like this before."

Hattie wanted to lash out at her.
Gwenda reached out to stop her, raised an eyebrow, and gave Justina a look of disdain. A mocking
smile appeared on her face as she said, "I've never seen anyone treat rubbish as treasure before.
Gretchen does that, and you do too. That's quite eye-opening for me."
"What the hell do you mean by that?"
Gwenda replied, "Exactly that."
"I think you're just being a sour grape."
Justina did not want to admit defeat so soon.
...
Gwenda snorted and shrugged. "Say what you like. I wish you three the utmost happiness in life."
"You..."
Justina was struck speechless. She felt so angry but could not vent it towards her target, which
frustrated her.
Gwenda rolled her eyes and turned to chat with Cecilia instead, electing to ignore her completely.
Seeing this, Justina clenched her teeth and left angrily.
"She's crazy!"
Hattie spat to Justina's retreating figure.
Gwenda smiled. "People like her are like that. The more you respond to her, the more zealous she
gets."
"Now I know how much you've suffered before, Gwenda."
Any good-tempered person would eventually feel annoyed to be attacked often by people like Justina.
"It's fine. I'm used to it."
Gwenda smiled faintly.
At this time, all participants had received their bidder cards, whereupon the host announced the start of
the auction.
The first item to be auctioned was a blue-and-white porcelain vase.
Gwenda was not interested in it. During the entire process, she watched the others compete for it.
While this was going on, on the second floor of the banquet hall, Olivier was watching the proceedings
below. His dark eyes were glimmering with interest.
"Boss, I've asked, and the base price for the "Heart of the Ocean" is one million dollars today."
"Good."
Olivier nodded. "Make the arrangements."
"Yes, sir."
Otto turned to do as he was told.
Olivier took a sip of red wine, and he finally caught sight of Gwenda's beautiful silhouette. His eyes
twinkled with joy as a smile slowly crept up his face.
Below, as Gwenda watched the auction, she strongly felt that someone was watching her.
She looked around uneasily, but did not find the source of the stare. She could not help but frown.
"Gwenda, what's wrong?"
Cecilia asked curiously, seeing that something was amiss with her.
Gwenda shook her head. "Nothing. I just keep feeling like someone's watching me... Maybe I'm
thinking too much."
The moment she finished speaking, she noticed a familiar figure not far away in her peripheral view.
Gwenda was taken aback.
Mr. Roux?
Why was he here?
Gwenda subconsciously tried to locate Olivier but was surprised to find that he was not present.
While she was wondering, a notification rang out on Gwenda's phone.
Lowering her head, she checked it and found that it was a text message.
The sender was Olivier. There were only three words, "Looking for me?"
Gwenda felt like something had knocked into her heart. She looked around but did not see him.
She frowned in confusion and texted back. "You're here too? Where are you?"
She sent it. Soon, Olivier responded. "Say that you miss me, and I'll appear."
Gwenda blushed. "Forget it!"
