Winona thought Wynne was incredibly gentle and kind-hearted. She couldn't help but think that if her biological mother, Blythe, had even half of Wynne's virtues, things would be so different.
The next evening after work, Winona and Wynne walked into the auction venue together.
Sylvan Scully had received word that Wynne would be attending, so he had arrived early to wait for her.
Seeing her walking in side-by-side with Winona, a wave of disdain washed over him. How exactly had Winona managed to manipulate Wynne into liking her so much? The girl was utterly shameless.
Wynne took one look at Sylvan, felt an instant wave of disgust, and quickly pulled Winona toward their seats.
Sylvan tried to approach her to speak, but the Powell family's bodyguards immediately blocked his path. Defeated, he had no choice but to sit a few rows away.
Willow, Paige, and Tallulah were also in attendance.
"The international school Theron is applying to is incredibly strict with their admissions," Willow explained to the group. "I heard the headmaster is obsessed with Rolexes. We need to play to his tastes. If we gift him a limited-edition watch, he'll definitely secure Theron a spot. Keep your eyes peeled tonight. We cannot miss out on that watch."
Tallulah secretly rolled her eyes.
There was no way in hell she cared about bidding on a watch for Paige's kid.
He didn't even share the Locke family name, so why was Willow willing to burn so much cash on him? Wouldn't it be better to save that money for her own son, Stanley's inheritance?
Willow's sharp eyes suddenly landed on Wynne and Winona. She frowned deeply. "That's so strange. Wynne is always so distant with me, but she's acting like best friends with Winona? I need to ask her what's going on once this auction is over."
An hour into the event, Wynne had already won four or five luxury timepieces, both men's and women's. She was secretly planning to gift them to Winona and Forrest in the future.
Winona had done her homework before arriving. When the specific Rolex she had her eye on finally appeared on the block, her eyes lit up and she raised her paddle.
"Five million."
Having sold her Locke Group shares back to Camille and collected a massive project bonus, Winona was flush with cash and fully confident she could win this piece.
Seeing how much she wanted it, Wynne quietly kept an eye on the bidding. If the price got too outrageous for Winona to handle, she was ready to step in and buy it for her.
Willow immediately raised her paddle. "Five point five million."
Seeing Winona aggressively bidding, Willow scoffed internally. There was no way a girl like Winona could outspend her.
Tallulah, equally desperate to see Winona fail, practically cheered on the bidding war. She originally hadn't wanted her mother-in-law to waste money on Paige's son, but now, she wanted nothing more than for Willow to win the watch just to spite Winona.
