Bruno’s promise slightly calmed Calvin's previously agitated
heart.
“Can you getall the preferences of her close family members tonight? It shouldn’t be too hard, right?
“Don’t drag your feet—get it done tonight!”
Bruno gritted his teeth. “Fine!”

Kayla went back to discuss it with her business partner, but the partner only wanted to focus on design, so she
would only invest 40%, leaving the remaining 60% of the funding to Kayla.
Thus, Kayla had already started thinking about how to get those wealthy socialites to patronize her business.
“Mark, are there any major banquets coming up soon?”
The mention of banquets gave Mark a bit of psychological
trauma.
Here are some. Do you want to go?”

“Of course. | need to drum up sbusiness for my clothing
store.”
Mark pondered for a moment. “Fine, but you must stick close tothe entire time.”
The security level for this banquet would be much higher than the one hosted by the Austin family—no one
without an
invitation would be allowed in.
Kayla smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, “No problem.”

Calvin looked through the information Bruno had provided. Among Kayla’s family members, the only one he
could get close to was Mark, who already detested him to the extreme.
John rarely went out, only occasionally attending auctions to bid on antiques.
Calvin smirked, immediately called his grandfather, and then
contacted Bruno.

“I heard someone is actually going to sell that emerald this time?”
“Yes, sir. Nearly 16 carats, sourced from Colombia.”
John was passionate about rare gemstones and was determined to win this one.

As soon as the emerald was presented, the bidding started at 10 million dollars.
John pursued relentlessly, and the final hammer price settled at nearly 100 million dollars.
When the auction house delivered it, they unexpectedly included an additional gift—an antique vase.
“Wasn't this vase bought by an American collector?”
This vase’s technique was complex but not exceptionally valuable. However, because it had once been used by
the royal family, its worth doubled, and it was a one-of-a-kind piece.
The auction house representative smiled, “The owner said this is a gift for you, an extra inclusion with the main
lot.”
John chuckled, “So generous, huh?”

He hired an appraiser to examine it and confirmed it was indeed a genuine antique, not a replica.

John grew intensely curious about the owner and instructed his butler to investigate.

Back at the hotel, Bruno asked Calvin, “Why didn’t you just have the auction house tell him outright that the
vase was from you?”
Calvin rolled his eyes. “What if he thought | had ulterior motives?”
Bruno scoffed, “And if he finds out on his own, won't he still suspect you?”
Calvin couldn't be bothered to explain further.
Explaining to an idiot was just a waste of time.
Calvin deliberately dined at John’s favorite restaurant and, as expected, was summoned to meet him.
Calvin was polite and composed. “Sir Lewis, what brings you to call for me?”

John scrutinized Calvin. “I heard you're Kayla’s ex-boyfriend.”

Calvin gave a slight nod. “That's correct.”
“Was that antique yours?”
A faint smile touched Calvin's eyes. “Yes.”

Calvin shook his head. “My grandfather also enjoys collecting such pieces. But when we heard speople
looked down on American collectors, he hadpick out a couple of items to show them what real treasures are.
“However, he didn’t want this piece to be auctioned off, so | decided to gift it to someone who truly appreciates
ie.”
In the end, it was still Calvin trying to curry favor, but John found the explanation immensely satisfying.
“You're not bad, kid. But you hurt my granddaughter before, so | can’t help you.”
Calvin maintained his faint smile. “That's alright. As long as you like those two pieces, that’s enough.”
John said nothing more and let Calvin leave.

collected at least ten socialites’ numbers.
These weren't just contacts. They were potential high-end
clients.
The banquet had been uneventful until suddenly, commotion erupted from the second-floor lounge.
“What's going on, Mark?”
Mark shook his head. “Ignore it.”
Kayla naturally didn’t go to gawk, as her goal today was to attract clients.
