章 168: Sold!!!

"So…" Olive began, her curiosity piqued. "Tell me, what exactly is this party about? Yeah, I get that it's a gathering of the rich, but what's the actual purpose? What are you celebrating?" Her brows arched inquisitively.

Lucas chuckled lightly. "It's an auction party. Every prominent family brings treasures to be put on auction, and whoever bids the highest wins. But it's more than that, it's also a social event, a chance for families to network, form alliances, and seal business deals."

Olive's eyes widened as the weight of his explanation sank in. "An auction party? That sounds… intense."

Lucas nodded, his expression softening. "It is. For families like ours, it's a significant tradition. The stakes go beyond just money, it's about power and influence."
