PopularNovelChapter 259
Gavin thought of something and replied, "I bought those based on your old measurements. Those dresses ended
up causing a misunderstanding between the two elders in my family."
He chuckled and added, "I guess they won't be pesteringabout a fiancée for a while."
"Then you'll be able to enjoy speace and quiet for a bit." Yolanda could easily imagine how Gavin's parents
would overthink things after seeing the dresses, especially since those dresses wouldn't fit her current figure.
Half an hour later, the couple, whose appearances were vastly mismatched, walked hand-in-hand to the
entrance of Splendor Hotel's banquet hall.
"Sorry. May | see your invitations, please?" The security guard at the entrance scrutinized them with a probing
gaze and spoke in a business-like tone.
Gavin and Yolanda both presented their invitations. Gavin's was on behalf of the Savage family, while Blake had
arranged the one in Yolanda's hand.

"You may go in, Mr. Savage and Ms. Henderson." After verifying their identities, the security guard's attitude
becslightly more respectful.
The two of them entered the banquet hall and found that most of the guests participating in the auction had
already arrived. Since the auction hadn't started yet, most people were socializing and engaged in small talk.
Gavin led Yolanda to the front row, where a seat had been reserved for him. Of course, Yolanda sat beside him.
As soon as she took her seat, Yolanda felt a malicious gaze fixate on her from behind. Yolanda lifted her phone,
and from the reflection of the screen, she saw that Queenie was sitting behind them in the second row on the
left.
She calmly put away her phone with a subtle smile playing on her lips. Since the main lead for the night was
here, the subsequent events would becmuch more interesting.
"Damn it! Didn't that bitch get arrested?" Queenie muttered through clenched teeth as she took out her phone
and sent a message.
When she didn't get a response for a long time, she angrily dialed the number. Still, no one answered. The other
party didn't reply to any of the messages she had sent either.
"What's wrong with Sean? He can't even handle such a simple task. How useless!" Queenie was so furious that
she gritted her teeth. She tried her best to keep her head down so the other guests wouldn't notice her abnormal
expression. Her cousin, Bryce, had previously approached her and asked if she knew anyone in the State Medical
Board. When she learned the reason, she discovered that Bryce and Yolanda attended First Academy.
Bryce was worried that Yolanda might cause a bigger problem by recklessly treating patients, so he wanted
Queenie to use her connections in the State Medical Board to tighten the management of private clinics.
But Queenie saw this as the perfect way to retaliate against Yolanda and tricked Bryce into believing she would
handle it and that he shouldn't get involved any further.
Queenie thought Yolanda had already been detained and was about to be convicted, but to her shock, she
brazenly appeared at the auction and even attended the event with Gavin.
Could it be that Gavin used his influence to get her released?
At this thought, Queenie pondered the possibility for a while and found that it wasn't exactly impossible. She
cursed and felt immense regret at not informing Sean beforehand not to let Yolanda contact anyone outside. But
now, no matter how much she regretted it, it was too late.
Queenie could only watch helplessly as Yolanda sat right in front of her, occupying the best seat in the entire
auction hall and chatting casually with the heir of the Savage family.
The sight was so infuriating that Queenie's facial features almost contorted out of shape from rage.
Just as Queenie glared at Yolanda's back with eyes full of hatred, the host for the evening's auction stepped onto
the stage.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, thank you all for taking tout of your busy schedules to
contribute to the charitable causes of Riverdale.
"Anonymous individuals have donated all the items up for auction tonight and contain rare pieces of emerald.
We hope that while being generous, everyone will also find items they're satisfied with. Alright, let's start the
auction!"
