Chapter 145: Dark

I shot a quick glance at Arnold.

It didn't make sense. Unless Gabriel asked his father for help.

Maybe he promised his father something in exchange for the favor.

Wait... I think I might have a genius idea. 

Emily Heart is Gabriel's wife, and she is a part of this club. What if Arnold promised her that Gabriel would inherit his wealth and become the patriarch of the Johnson family?

And now with Sam doing so well...

Hmm... I might be reading too far into this.

My attention snapped back to the auction.

Leon was about to announce the winner of the bid.

"Three voting points!" Emily Heart's voice rang out loud and clear.

I was even more confused.

If she was going to bid on it, why couldn't they just do it privately?

Seconds passed, but no one outbid her.

Leon slammed down the gavel. "Three voting points. Sold! The favor goes to Emily Heart!"
