'Rosalyn, the daughter of a European merchant.'

For a cameo, it was quite a luxurious name.

Of course, the identity of that merchant wasn’t particularly defined.

After all, the original scene was simply about Michiko and Yuina meeting at an auction and clashing over their pride.

‘To obtain the necklace on auction.’

It was an item Michiko’s mother had once worn.

A necklace that had gone missing from the mansion long ago.

Now, it had reappeared at this auction.

Naturally, Michiko tried to buy it, but Yuina, who was also present, deliberately disrupted her efforts.

The fact that it was a keepsake of Michiko’s mother didn’t make it entirely irrelevant to Yuina either.

It had belonged to a woman she hated.

In other words, Yuina wanted to get the necklace just so she could destroy it.

The bidding escalated, reaching absurd prices.

Michiko was about to give up, but with Yeonseonye by her side, she called out a sum so high that even Yuina couldn’t match it and won the auction.

『And then she gave the necklace to Yeonseonye afterward?』

『That’s how it goes.』

『Quite the change.』

Asher Baldwin sat beside the Japanese staff, quietly observing the shoot that had just begun.

Jo Seohui and Lee Jiyeon were the first to appear.

The two lead characters.

The set exuded a sense of antiquity.

It didn’t look like an old Japanese building but rather something straight out of Europe.

“Miss, this is my first time at an auction. Should I just sit back and watch?”

“Don’t embarrass yourself. Just stay quiet. I’ll handle it if there’s something I want.”

“T-Then I’ll stay quiet.”

Michiko frowned slightly at Yeonseonye’s awkward nod.

Her expression was equal parts exasperated and fond.@@novelbin@@

Despite being endlessly materialistic, Yeonseonye could seem surprisingly innocent at times like this.

“But Miss, what exactly are we here to buy? You must have come here for a reason.”

“That’s…”

Michiko hesitated briefly before locking eyes with Yeonseonye.

She had already noticed Yeonseonye’s suspicious behavior lately.

No—she was certain it was related to Yuina.
