Kelly looked at Caroline smugly, but she realized that Caroline was still as calm as before. Her eyebrows didn’t even move. On the other hand, Joline’s brows were so tightly knitted that they could kill a fly.
‘Hahaha! This time, Old Madam Anderson should be regretting it. Bringing Caroline into the family will only bring shame to the Anderson family!’ With this thought in mind, Kelly started to imagine Caroline’s pathetic state after she was kicked out of the Anderson family.
However, Kelly, who was immersed in her own imagination, only saw the silence of the audience. She thought that everyone was unwilling to support
Caroline and ostracized her. She did not understand the complicated situation.
The Anderson family was one of the leaders in the business world. Even though many people hated them, there were also many people who wanted to be on good terms with them and other related parties.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was out of favor or to please the Anderson family, there would be at least a portion of them who would clearly support the Anderson family and participate in the bidding.
If she was willing to build a bridge for this granddaughter-in-law, they would naturally be more than happy to help her. But if she didn’t say anything, they would just pretend that they didn’t see it.
In any case, as long as the Anderson family was not embarrassed, the others would not be embarrassed either. Another ten seconds passed. There were only ten seconds left before the hammer fell.
Mrs. Hall frowned and turned around to scan the crowd.
She couldn’t bear to see Caroline in such an embarrassing state, but before the election, her family was only above average. They lived a good life, so naturally, she couldn’t easily fork out a few million yuan to bid.
Therefore, she had been watching from the sidelines the entire night and had not participated in any bidding. It was naturally not appropriate for her to participate now.
Everyone knew about the hall family’s situation, so they didn’t show any abnormal reactions to this matter.
In the end, Mrs. Hall’s eyes fell on Joline. From her interactions with Caroline, Joline should be quite satisfied with Caroline. plus, she was experienced in dealing with people, logically speaking, she shouldn’t embarrass Caroline. Why was there no news from her?
However, under everyone’s gaze, Joline frowned and expressed that she didn’t want to do this either. She was frowning, not because she felt embarrassed, but because she was trying to struggle.
When the host announced the starting bid, she wanted to raise her number tag to support Caroline immediately. However, Caroline was faster than her. She held her hand and pressed her number tag on the table.
How could an old lady like Joline be stronger than Caroline? So even though Joline’s other hand secretly grabbed the base of the chair to borrow strength, she still couldn’t pull her hand out.
Just as Joline was tired of struggling and was about to give up and call out the price, a soft voice came from behind, “4 million.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to the person and found that the person who bid was a young face. Some people who knew her had exposed her identity-the new wife of the Haus family’s third-ranked son who had just gotten married last month. It was said that she was a slightly famous artist. Everyone revealed a look of understanding. They knew that this was a little sheep who had not yet understood the situation.
Bonnie Haus really didn’t understand the undercurrent at the auction. As a pioneer artist, Agassi was her idol, so she was very excited when she saw the painting ‘The Field’.
However, the Haus family wasn’t a particularly large family, and her family was only average. Even if she really wanted the painting, she knew that Agassi’s painting would be sold for more than 10 million, so she didn’t have any hope.
What she didn’t expect was that no one participated in the bidding for this ‘The Field’!
While she was disdainful of the crowd for not knowing how to appreciate it, she was also thinking to herself, if no one participated in the auction, then could she have won the painting for 4 to 5 million?
She couldn’t come up with 10 million, but she could still come up with 4 or 5 million if she gritted her teeth. So, when she shouted that the auction was about to end, she quickly raised the racket.
However, she didn’t expect everyone to look at her as if she was a warrior. Even her mother-in-law looked at her disapprovingly.
Bonnie Haus was stunned. She didn’t understand what she had done wrong, so she could only withdraw her hand in embarrassment..
