CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: OH NO, MY DISGUISE IS SLIPPING (2)

"How could I? I’m just too troubled."

Raina North propped her chin with her delicate hand, furrowing her brows slightly, looking like a delicate white flower that invoked pity: "I suppose perfect women like me are destined to be catastrophic, otherwise, why would Elias Hawthorne rush to The North Family to propose after meeting me just a few times. Just three days into marriage, he’s already so attached to me. Sigh, it’s too difficult for me."

Screech——

The car swiftly stopped by the roadside, and Raina was pushed out of the vehicle.

Before she could steady herself, the black Maybach sped away like an arrow leaving the string.

"Tsk..."

Raina hummed, a brilliant smile spreading across her delicate face, finally free and able to wander at will.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a news notification, and upon reading it, Raina’s eyes quickly focused.

She immediately hailed a car and left quickly.

In Southgate, the tallest landmark is The Hawthorne Group.

At this moment, in the CEO’s office.

Elias Hawthorne handed the signed documents to Aidan Lynch, then turned to Quinn Thorne: "Are you sure Void will appear at tomorrow’s auction?"

Quinn nodded: "Yes, I’m sure. The thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma is a lost treasure of Ghost Doctor’s Vale. It’s said the former Valley Master regretted not retrieving it before his death, and he instructed Void to reclaim it if there’s any chance."

Elias Hawthorne stood up: "Then let’s go."

Quinn immediately followed.

Raina took advantage of Baby’s class to leave the Hawthorne Family home, first returning to her apartment to disguise herself before driving to the West Auction Hall.

It was hard to find a trace of the Blood Ganoderma, and this time she was determined to get it no matter what.

At the auction entrance, a well-dressed hostess politely checked all the guests’ invitations. When she saw Raina’s invitation, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She returned the invitation to Raina: "Please, Miss Lawrence."

Raina nodded slightly, took back her invitation, and stepped into the venue.

...

"Okay, I got it, keep an eye on her."

After hanging up the phone, Quinn Thorne pushed open the box door: "Boss, Void has arrived."

Elias Hawthorne abruptly stood up: "I’m going to see her."

Quinn and Aidan quickly followed.

This was the legendary Void, and they were really curious about her appearance.

...

In the elevator, Raina’s phone suddenly rang, and it was Casper North on the line.

"Raina, don’t tell me you went to the West Auction Hall?"

"Yes. Why?"

Casper said: "I just got the news that the Lord of the Dark Tower has gone there with his four stooges, Raina, do you want to guess if he’s there to catch you?"

Raina sneered coldly, sinisterly saying: "Do you want to clarify who you’re calling a turtle?"

Casper shrank his neck: "I’m just saying. Anyway, Raina, you better get out of there now. Good luck."

After saying that, Casper immediately hung up the phone.

Raina snorted coldly.

After exiting the elevator, Raina turned and entered the stairwell, quickly descending the stairs.

But it was already too late.

At the downstairs entrance, people from The Dark Tower were already guarding the area. If she left now, she’d be caught precisely as Casper described.

Just as Raina was at a loss, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

Raina’s eyes flashed, and she instantly had an idea.

With a quick movement, she entered the restroom and swiftly altered her appearance.

"Boss, the auction has already started, and Void hasn’t entered the venue. Our people have searched the entire floor but found no trace of Void. However..."

Elias Hawthorne glanced over: "However, what?"

"However, your wife has arrived."
