Chapter 1896
Gabe explained to Sean and Zander. After all, he had lived in Midwich for five years and surely knew
more about Midwich than Sean and Zander.
"Mr. Lennon and Zander, today's auction is held by the Harris family, one of the four leading noble
families in Midwich. The Harris family is matched only by the Jensen family, the Sheldon family, and the
Yale family. You've met members of the Jensen family just now. The Sheldon family and the Yale family
are also here for the auction..."
"Look over there. The old man in the first row on the far left is Caden Sheldon, the patriarch of the
Sheldon family, and the one next to him is his granddaughter, Luna Sheldon."
Sean and Zander looked over curiously.
They knew Benji was targeted by the Sheldon family because he rejected their heiress, Luna. It was
why the company faced a capital chain rupture issue.
Now they had met Luna herself.
The heiress of the Sheldon family was indeed beautiful. Although she was only in her early twenties,
she was elegant like a lady in the Middle Ages.
The patriarch of the Sheldon family, Caden, looked like he was over 70 years old. However, he was
energetic.
"Mr. Lennon and Zander, look to the far right. Sitting in the first row on the far right is the head of the
Yale family, Sherleen Yale, and her son Sherman Yale."
The head of the Yale family, Sherleen, was a woman in her 40s, close to 50 years old, but she took
great care of herself. Her skin was fair and tender.
People would probably think she was only 30 years old.
The woman was beautiful, but she had an intimidating aura. No wonder she was the head of the Yale
family.
Her son, Sherman, was handsome and buff. One could tell he worked out regularly.
A man like that was many girls' Prince Charming.
"Sitting in the middle of the front row is the patriarch of the Jensen family, Fernando, and his son
Jonathan. Though Fernando apologized, you mustn't underestimate Fernando, Mr. Lennon. The
Jensen family's unfathomable, and Fernando's scheming," Gabe warned.
He was concerned that Sean and Zander underestimated Fernando and fell into his trap.
Sean smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I’m not that stupid..."
Gabe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle, "The Harris family set the Sheldon family, the
Jensen family, and the Yale family's seats so far apart in their auction because they were afraid of them
making a scene. After all, the top four families have always been at each other's throats forever."
"Do you have any inside information about what's going on auction today?" Sean asked.
Zander also wanted to know the answer, so Zander stared at Gabe when Sean asked.
Gabe said with a wry smile, "What inside information can I have... But I did hear that today’s auction is
unusual and that the final item is of great value."
"Really?" Sean nodded thoughtfully.
The auction had finally begun.
There was a young man on stage. According to Gabe, the young man was Keith Harris, the heir of the
Harris family.
After letting out a cough, Keith glanced at the audience and said, "Thank you for taking time out of your
busy schedule to attend the Harris family's auction. Please rest assured that the Harris family's auction
will be an eye-opening and satisfying event for everyone here. The auction begins now!"
The first auction item got on stage.
It was a landscape painting.
According to Keith, the landscape painting was a Two Butterflies painting by Vincent van Gogh, a
famous painter in history.
Vincent van Gogh was good at painting butterflies. Besides, this painting was both antique and art, so it
was expensive.
"Bidding starts at five million dollars for the Two Butterflies painting. Each price increase must be no
less than 50,000 dollars. The auction begins now!"novelbin
