Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 929

Coralie had her eye on a horsewhip.

Channing had recently started taking horseback riding lessons, and he needed a handy crop to help him learn faster.

To help him catch up to her "brother."

Thinking of the boy who had grown up with her at the Haven Orphanage, the boy who had given her so much warmth only to perish in the fire during the prime of his life...

Coralie's heart gave a painful throb.

He had been exceptionally good at horseback riding. If he were still alive, he would have probably won countless awards by now.

While her thoughts drifted...

"Ms. Quill, what are you looking at?"

Channing's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Hmm?"

Coralie quickly adjusted her emotions and offered a faint smile. "Nothing."

The little puppy-dog looked past her, his gaze landing on Shanley's face, his brows furrowing slightly.

This man was undeniably handsome, but he definitely wasn't Ms. Quill's type.

Why was she staring at him?

The auction soon commenced.

Throughout the entire event, Juniper had zero interest in the overpriced scraps of metal being paraded across the stage.

She lazily curled up in her seat, playing games on her phone, occasionally looking up at the items.

"Grandma loves jade. How about this one?" Shanley asked.

"It'd suit her well." Juniper lifted her eyelids, glancing at the high-quality jade bangle, and arched an eyebrow. "It would look even better if it's paired with the necklace and earrings coming up next."

"Whatever you say."

Shanley signaled Felton to bid. He pursued it relentlessly, and the other interested buyers quickly buckled, dropping out one by one.

Over the next few rounds, Shanley secured several pieces of jewelry.

The auction continued.

Finally, it was time for the pink diamond crown Juniper had her eye on.

Unexpectedly, Coralie was also somewhat interested in the crown set.

"Twenty million."

Hearing the bid, Juniper instinctively looked toward the bidder.

Her?

From this angle, her back really did look like Celine's.

Felton held the bidding device, carefully glancing at his boss.

Shanley was calmly peeling an orange for Juniper, completely unbothered, not even batting an eye.

Understood.
