Mr. Law's Official Announcement: He is a Wife-Doting Fanatic!

Upon hearing the word ”aunt” through the electronic communicator, Cecilia was already puzzled, and when she heard Rosalind White threaten her with The Law Group, she didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.

Is this a classic case of ”the fox borrowing the tiger’s might” only to encounter a real tiger?

If Rosalind knew that sitting in the bidding room competing with her were Adrian Law and herself, would she be driven mad?

...

Cecilia imagined that scene and found it inexplicably funny.

But she wasn’t interested in listening to Rosalind’s persuasions anymore and rudely chuckled twice before hanging up the phone decisively.

Adrian, who was resting his chin on his hand by the sofa, saw the indescribable expression on Cecilia’s face and raised an eyebrow.

”Did that buyer downstairs competing with us call you? What did she say to make you so angry?”

Cecilia walked over in a huff, curling her lips with an absurd expression.

”Oh, it’s your plant protector planning to buy you jadeite cufflinks. Wow, she really knows you, even knowing you like cufflinks. Later, she threatened me, saying I’d offend the Law Family by bidding against her.”

”I’m so scared!”

Cecilia made a face while enduring goosebumps, and Adrian, feeling amused upon seeing Cecilia a bit jealous, smiled internally.

”Was it Rosalind?”

”You still dare to laugh!”

Cecilia saw the handsome features of this man and the mischievous smile in his eyes, and she became even more furious.

She immediately picked up the pillow on the sofa and tossed it at Adrian.

”She even called me ’aunt,’ which makes you Miss White’s uncle! Why do I feel ’aunt’ sounds so much worse than ’uncle’? Ugh, furious...”

Age is every woman’s taboo, even though Cecilia deliberately lowered her voice to sound older, she couldn’t accept being called that by a rival!

Adrian swiftly caught the pillow Cecilia threw at him, smiled with a curl of his lips, and reached out to bring the angry girl into his arms.

”Alright, alright, don’t be mad. If you’re the aunt, then I’m older, and I’ll be grandpa’s generation, older than you. Could that work?”

”Ew, how repulsive!”

Cecilia rolled her eyes at him with a look of ’old cow eating young grass.’ Although Adrian was indeed a few years older, describing it this way seemed overly dramatic.

...

Meanwhile, when Rosalind heard Cecilia abruptly hang up, her face turned almost purple with anger.

There are still people so disrespectful, bold enough to offend the Law Family!

Rosalind never imagined that those sitting upstairs were Cecilia and Adrian, as Cecilia’s voice on the phone was too different from her usual one. Rosalind immediately conjured up an image of a stubborn old couple.

Tsk...these old folks even want to snatch the cufflinks from her! So shameless!

Rosalind had already assumed herself to be a noble and genuine Miss of The Law Group. Furious, as she returned to her seat, her expression wasn’t pleasant.

Fiona noticed her frustration and extended a hand to tentatively ask in a low voice.

”Rosalind, what’s wrong? Did the other party not agree?”

Of course, they didn’t agree, they even chuckled at her!

Rosalind was inwardly furious, but with so many onlookers around, she didn’t want to lose face in front of many high-society people, so she just gave a faint smile.

”Nothing, they said it’s all up to one’s own ability.”

Rosalind gritted her teeth, and at that moment, the blonde auctioneer cheerfully announced that three minutes were up, and the auction would resume.

”Miss 107, would you like to continue bidding?”

For the auctioneer, it’s better if both sides don’t come to an agreement, as intermediaries make more money; why not?

Rosalind gritted her teeth.

”Twenty-six million!”

Almost as soon as she spoke, the electronic communicator of the blonde auctioneer lit up with her excitement almost overflowing.

”Oh, the distinguished guest upstairs bid thirty million! Wow! That’s more than twice our estimated price, does anyone else wish to continue?”

...

Rosalind glanced up in disbelief at the upstairs bidding room; she wasn’t sure where the other party was, but at this moment, she really hated the old woman upstairs competing with her!

Why is that?!

Is having money so great?!

For Rosalind, the psychological price for these cufflinks was just around thirty million, and she wasn’t actually willing to pay that price. Now that the upstairs bidder raised it so luxuriously, she could only sulk and concede.

Seeing everyone eagerly looking at her, Rosalind could only bite her silver teeth and project a gracious but fake smile.

”Since the elderly gentleman and lady upstairs like it, we as juniors naturally shouldn’t compete; let’s leave it to them, right?”

In the end, Rosalind was willing to find herself a way out.

Everyone gasped, but few noticed that Rosalind could no longer afford the price, as her outfit and bag were already excessively luxurious.

...

Only Fiona looked doubtfully at the Dragon Stone Jadeite Cufflinks on the stage. Though crafted a century ago, their design was quite trendy according to Western aesthetics. Were the upstairs bidders competing with Rosalind actually an elderly couple?

Elderly taste being this fashionable, now that’s rare.

And after Rosalind displayed modesty, basically no one was willing to continue competing at such a high price.

Thus, the blonde auctioneer could only smile regrettably and, after three minutes, hammered down the auction item.

”Alright, bidding time is up. These cufflinks belong to the upstairs No. 1 buyer!”

To avoid exposing the information of certain distinguished guests upstairs, the upstairs numbers weren’t aligned with their room numbers, so Rosalind couldn’t contact Cecilia and Adrian.

...

After the cufflink bidding ended, many other fine items were auctioned one after another.

However, none of them caught Rosalind’s eye, as what she wanted to gift Adrian couldn’t be anything ordinary.

But nothing moved her.

Just as she was getting bored, suddenly the auctioneer pleasantly introduced a pair of blue diamond rings.

”Everyone, please take a look. These are a pair of couple rings from the same Borealis Royal Family era as the cufflinks bought by the No. 1 box guest earlier. When combined, the male and female designs form a heart, very precious. Is anyone interested? The starting price is also 10 million!”

Rosalind excitedly raised her paddle.

”10 million! Number 107!”

However, before she could be happy for even half a second, the blonde auctioneer suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

”Oh, coincidentally, the esteemed guest in the No. 1 box upstairs also liked this item, bidding twenty million!”
