Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 24

“Chadwick, did you just say that Ms. Ingram also sent an assistant to the auction? Which item did she have her eye on?” Tabitha wanted to take the chance to get to know Colette’s interests better.

Chadwick answered, “I heard it was a bracelet.”

Tabitha was a little surprised.

Chadwick had already told her about Colette. Her father was the director of a hospital and her mother was a university professor. Her grandfather’s status was more noble but he was mysterious and kept a low profile.

She was surprisingly right–minded and was full of justice despite being the pampered heir of a prestigious family, and she enjoyed helping ordinary people who were wronged, bullied, and at their wit’s end.

Tabitha had already taken a liking to Colette before they even met. She made up her mind that if Colette also had her eyes on Lone Star’s Tear, she wouldn’t mind letting her have it.

Tabitha and Chadwick were too far away from Malcolm for him to catch what they were saying.

Although he hated Tabitha for lying to Alaric and using Alaric to suppress him, he still swallowed his anger at the thought of the wine racks that tipped over at Four Seasons Bar that night.

To obscure the identity of the bidders, the organizers arranged relatively small and private rooms for the guests.

After Tabitha and Chadwick got into their partitioned room, they received a randomly assigned calling card with the number 12.

Malcolm who entered later also got a calling card. His was with the number one.
