CHAPTER 365 THE CONRADS' COMPANY

Elliot said, "I'll take you to the stylist first." "I'll go get my bag then." Yvonne turned and went back to the room, but just after she left, he stopped her. "Mr. Lancaster might attend the auction too. Is that okay?"

"Henry will be there too?" Yvonne was shocked.

Elliot chuckled, "I'm just saying there's a possibility, but he’ll most probably be there." 1

He would most probably be there...

Yvonne was silent, and she suddenly regretted the fact that she agreed to be his date for the auction.

Henry never liked seeing her with other men, so if he saw her attending the event as Elliot's date, he might d o something.

"Why didn't you tell me this in the first place?" Yvonne pinched the bridge of her nose restlessly.

Elliot said, "I just remembered."

"Really?" Yvonne didn't believe him.

Elliot opened his eyes wide. "Really! Look at the sincerity in my eyes!"

As he was speaking, he started blinking his eyes and seeing him like that with his beautiful face, he looked dreamlike and it was hard not to believe him.

Yvonne was fascinated by his beauty, and the suspicion in her heart immediately disappeared.

She scratched her head as she was dumbfounded. " Whatever. He can do whatever he wants."

"You don't mind if he sees us attending the event as a couple? I think you were rethinking the fact that you said yes to me." Elliot crossed his arms and looked at her.

Yvonne waved her hand. "I felt a little bit of regret, but I promised you already so I can’t go back on my words. Now just give me two minutes, I’ll go get changed." Yvonne then went straight into her room.

A few minutes later, she changed her clothes and got her bag.

Elliot took a few glances and circled around her before whistling, "Not bad, your style seems to be better now."

Yvonne smiled, "Thank you, others have said the same about my style."

"Who?" Elliot asked.

Yvonne's smile froze for a second and she shook her head. "No one. Now let's go."

"Okay, I won't ask anymore but I could probably guess who it is." Elliot shrugged.

The corner of her mouth twitched and she did not say anything before she followed him out of the apartment.

It was almost nine o'clock when her styling was done.

Yvonne got out of the car and stood in front of it, while looking curiously at the auction venue.

She thought that the auction would be held in a hotel just like the last charity auction, but it was the largest entertainment club in Vancouver.

It was her first time here, and she was intrigued. She was turning her head and looking around.

Finally, Elliot held her head with one hand, and lowered his voice to remind her, "Stop looking around. It's been three years since you've been married to Henry. Why are you acting like a hayseed that hasn't seen the world?"

Yvonne rolled her eyes as she heard this. "I haven't been here before, but I've always heard about how luxurious and thrilling this place is, so I can't help but look around."

"You can look around after we get in. Don't embarrass me out here," Elliot reminded her.

Yvonne pouted and said, "Fine, I get it."

"Okay, now let's go." Elliot offered his arm.

Yvonne knew what it meant and that she was his date now, so she naturally took his arm and walked with him towards the club. 1

After entering the club, a staff member was distributing masks.

Yvonne just realized that the auction would require everyone to wear a mask.

However, this was actually a good thing for her, because when she just came in, she had already met many acquaintances in the industry.

She was afraid that they would recognize her.

After all, she was Henry's wife, but she was here with another man. It would make people think that she was cheating on Henry.

With the mask, she did not have to worry about people recognizing her.

After thinking about it, Yvonne released Elliot's arm and quickly put on the mask.

When Elliot saw her wearing the mask excitedly, he could not help raising his eyebrows. "Do you like stuff like this?"

"Huh?" Yvonne did not quite get what he meant. 1

Elliot thought he was right so he touched his chin and thought for a few seconds. "I never thought you’d actually like these things. I'll let you send a box when you get back."

"What?" Yvonne finally understood and she denied it.' No I don’t! I don't want you to send it to me either.

Anyway, please find a seat and sit down quickly. The auction’s about to begin." "What's the hurry? Go and say hello to everyone first,"

Elliot said as he walked towards the crowd in front of him slowly.

As his date, Yvonne had no choice but to walk behind him.

She originally wanted to accompany Elliot to the auction and go back early in case Henry actually came and they ran into him.

He was at ease and not anxious at all though. He didn't even worry about what might happen if she met Henry.

"I hope that Henry will not come!" Yvonne thought to herself helplessly as she stared at Elliot's back.

Ten minutes later, Elliot finally finished greeting some of the attendees.

Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief. "The auction has started, so should we go in now?"

"Yes." Elliot glanced at his watch and nodded.

They walked towards the auction venue and when they arrived, the auction venue was almost full and the atmosphere was serious.

Elliot chose to sit in the last row and Yvonne sat next t o him. After looking around, she asked in a low voice," Is there any special meaning to this auction? Why do I feel like the atmosphere is a little weird?"

"You’re quite observant," Elliot looked at her in surprise with his almond-shaped eyes.

Yvonne straightened her back. "So am I right?" "Partly, but it doesn't have any special meaning. Everyone's here for the Conrads' company," Elliot said while crossing his legs.

Yvonne was very sensitive to the word "Conrad," and especially so when she heard that this auction was related to Jacqueline's company. Her expression became very serious. "The Conrads' company? So one o f the items they’re about to auction is the Conrads' company?"

"Yes, you're right. It's the Conrads' company," Elliot smiled and winked at her.

Yvonne almost stood up as she was startled, but she pinched her thigh so hard so that she would not go astray.

"How could the Conrads' company be auctioned? I never heard that they went bankrupt!"

She was eager to know what was going on.

"Who said that a company can only be auctioned when it goes bankrupt? So here's another situation. When the company doesn't want to operate anymore and they want to sell at the highest possible price, they would be auctioned so that everyone can compete. This is probably the reason why their company is at this auction," Elliot explained. holds this content.

Yvonne was silent for a few seconds. "They were doing fine, so why would Dominic Conrad think about selling the company?" "Who knows? Anyway, on the 15th of last month, the auction house announced the Conrad company auction," Elliot replied indifferently.

Yvonne frowned, "On the 15th of last month?"

Wasn’t that the day after Dominic Conrad was released on bail?

That said... Henry knew that the company was going t o be auctioned very early on?

If that was the case, he would definitely come to this auction. So was he here?
