Chapter 276 The Ex

• Lydia's face was tense. Just outside the lounge, someone had been spying on her family. She sent two bodyguards to chase them down, but they ended up being thrown back, covered in blood. She had spent all this time dealing with the situation before returning to the event.
• Bella followed behind in a business suit, struggling to keep up. Lydia had forbidden hers from using a cane at such a high-class event, so Bella, who had recently been whipped, limped along, barely able to keep pace.
• By this time, Martin had dropped out of the bidding, leaving just Richard and Doris to fight it out.
