Chapter 515
Soon, it was the day of the auction. Isabella and Harlow were in a private room, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the highest floor and overlooking the auction hall outside.
The participants arrived one after another. Harlow looked at the powerful woman beside him and sighed, saying, "I didn't expect to be able to stand with Miraculous Doctor one day. I feel honored." Harlow's eyes were filled with sincerity.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Isabella glanced at Harlow and did not comment.
Harlow fawned at Isabella, "Miraculous Doctor, you're so beautiful today. This outfit suits you pretty well. I'm sorry. You look wonderful in anything!"
Isabella was getting more and more amused.
Isabella was wearing a casual loose-knitted suit for comfort.
However, to cater to the local characteristics, Isabella put on a white gauze robe, which wrapped her entire figure. This roble was not cumbersome. Instead, it also made Isabella look taller and slenderer. Isabella's long hair was braided into a long ponytail coiled at the back of her head. Isabella rounded it up and placed it with a silver hairpin.
As a result, Isabella's neck looked even more slender and beautiful. She wore a pair of silver earrings with long fringes.
When Isabella was not smiling, her expression was cold and aloof, making people revere her.
At least, it was Harlow's thought. He continued to praise, "You're as beautiful as the Moonlight Goddess!"
Isabella did not bother replying to Harlow. Suddenly, Isabella thought of something and patted her forehead. She asked, Where are the girls who were sold here like me?"
Harlow was stunned. Then he replied, "They will be the auction items tonight."
Isabella took a deep breath.
Harlow looked nervous and asked, 'Miraculous Doctor, are you unhappy?'
Isabella was silent for a moment. Then she said seriously, "Harlow, I have a small request."
Harlow's entire body tensed.
Harlow said quickly, 'Got it. Got it. I'm going to ask Xhalar to let the girls go now. Sorry for my inconsideration."
Isabella looked slightly sad and explained, I've been with them all the way here. I can't just watch them be sold later."
Isabella thought, "It is fine if they meet good buyers. However, I can't imagine what they will suffer if they met inhumane buyers.
"What's more, how good can the people who come to such an underground auction and bid for women be?
"They just want to buy some women to have fun or release their unspeakable desires."
Harlow blinked and said, "No problem. No worries. I forgot about it. I would let them go if I had remembered them even if you didn't request it." Isabella nodded and said, 'Thank you."
Harlow went out. He happened to meet Xhalar, who was walking toward him. Soon, Isabella heard Xhalar's screaming.
Isabella thought, "Xhalar is probably unwilling to let the girls go. Thus, he got beaten up by Harlow again."
Isabella stared at the auction hall that was gradually filled with people.
The hall was not large.
Isabella thought, "Those who can come here are all famous big shots. However, why will they choose to bid in a hall instead of private rooms with good privacy? "After all, the transactions here were not very honorable.
"I know what business the Andrews family focuses on. I can't step way out of the line, but I can still save those girls.
"If I don't see it, I can let it go. However, I need to do something if I can and if I see something.
"As for other transactions, I will not interfere. This is the Andrews family's place, and they make the rules. This is what they rely on to survive."
Not long after, Harlow walked in with a smile.
Harlow reported, Xhalar is on his way to release the girls. There won't be any human products at tonight's auction."
Isabella nodded slightly.
Harlow said enthusiastically, "Miraculous Doctor, it's about time. How about sitting down and taking a look? You can bit for anything you like at tonight's auction. I'll pay for it." After speaking, Harlow walked to the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down.
Isabella also walked over and sat down. The two of them sat opposite each other. There were fruits, snacks, milk, and other food on the short table in the middle.
Isabella had become gluttonous recently. She preferred sour fruits so much that Harlow asked his people to prepare many sour fruits on the table.
Harlow saw Isabella casually nibbling on a sour apricot, and his face instantly contorted.
Harlow looked away in pain.
Isabella stared outside as she ate. At this moment, the auction started.
The first item was a piece of jewelry that had been stolen from a certain country's royal family. Regular auctions would never dare to allow such precious things to be auction items. However, the Andrews family was fearless about this.
Isabella was not interested. Thus, she watched it quietly.
Isabella was not interested in the following items.
Therefore, Isabella pulled a blanket over herself and leaned against the soft sofa to rest. She asked, "Are there any Lucsian guests?"
Hearing this, Harlow immediately took out his phone and opened the surveillance camera system to check.
After a moment, Harlow reported, "Yes. Three Lucsians are in Room 702. They're all young males."
Harlow handed the phone to Isabella.
Isabella took the phone and looked at the screen.
On the screen, the three Lucsians were not talking. Instead, they were all focused on the auction stage.
Isabella did not know these three people. She frowned slightly because she could not determine if they were from the North Star Group. How many people do you think to know about the blood?" asked Isabella.
Harlow said, "Everyone who should know already knows."
Isabella's eyes narrowed.
Harlow asked, "Are you worried that someone will use this to lure Mr. Lockwood to appear here and hurt him?"
Isabella said, "This blood means that they are against the Lockwood family. Draxton will take action if he knows about this."
Harlow said, "Miraculous Doctor, don't worry. Since we're already in a cooperative relationship, if something happens, the Andrews family will never sit back and do nothing.
'No matter what they want to do, they won't be able to get anything in our place."
There were not many auction items, and the auction went well. Soon, an hour passed.
Time passed quickly due to the intense bidding.
Isabella stared at the four-dimensional image on the big screen outside in boredom. The thing on it was a mysterious beast bone. It was from a long time ago. Thus, it had natural patterns, which looked like strings of mantras.
Some of the locals were trying their best to bid.
Suddenly, Isabella was attracted by a bid.
That man would bid twice higher than others' bids every time someone called out a bid.
That man was sitting in the hall. However, he wasn't sitting in a chair but in a wheelchair.
It was a young man. He was very thin and looked a little feminine. He was wearing a dark blue robe and pants.
Isabella murmured, "Jared Chancely.'
Isabella recognized him. It was Jared Chancely, Jerico Chancely's elder brother and David Chancely's eldest son. David Chancely was the patriarch of the Chancely family.
Three years ago, Isabella became famous with her title Miraculous Doctor. Jared had been secretly looking for Isabella many times. Jared had found her once.
However, Isabella was unwilling to cure Jared since she had noticed that he might not a good person. Isabella had never seen him again since then. Speaking of which, the Chancely brothers both had a grudge against Isabella.
