Chapter 1774
There were all sorts of news about Zenovia, and everyone was shocked when the king announced that he would
take her in as his " god-granddaughter.”
Besides, it was rumored that she had become the third wheel in the relationship between Nollace and Daisie, so
everyone was anticipating a good show when the two "heroines” of the scandals met in the auction.
Zenovia did not expect that Daisie would come to the auction with Diana. Even though she was not happy about it,
she did not allow her emotions to escape to her face.
She walked up to them with a smile on her face and greeted, “Mrs. Knowles, I'm very happy to meet you here. I
never had the chance to talk to you last time to clear up the misunderstanding you had about me—”
Diana interrupted her. “Do you think you have a chance right now?”
Zenovia was stunned.
Without giving her a chance to say anything, Diana continued. “ You don’t get it? You don't have to creep up my
sleeve and don't need to say anything like wanting me to know you better. I'm not your mother, so I don't have to

Zenovia’s smile froze when Diana openly rejected her.
She had assumed that Diana would more or less treat her better for the sake of the king since she had become the
king's "god granddaughter."
She clenched her fists tightly in secret and then loosened them up the next second. She retained the smile on her
face as she said gracefully, “Mrs. Knowles, what happened earlier was my fault, so I don’t blame you for
misunderstanding me.”
Diana chuckled and replied, “So you’re saying that it’s my fault for misunderstanding you?”
Zenovia was taken aback. “That’s not what I mean, Mrs. Knowles.”
“Alright,” Diana said as she lifted her hand. “I don't care what you're trying to say. Just stay away from me. We're
not that close anyway.”
The people around looked at them as if they were watching a movie.
Diana did not put any effort into concealing her disgust, she squashed Zenovia and humiliated her in front of
everyone.
Zenovia stood frozen stiff, she bit her lips, not knowing what to say as her face was written with sadness.
Mr. Bourge did not know if he should step in or not. After all, he couldn’t afford to offend any one of them. In the
end, he braced himself and chimed in with a smile on his face. “Mrs. Knowles, Ms. Livingston, the auction is about to
start. Why don’t you both go back to your seats first?”
Diana walked past her and grabbed Daisie’s hand. “Let’s go, sweetheart. I can’t stay here any further and breathe
the same air with a certain someone.”
Daisie nodded, and both of them walked toward the VIP seats.
Zenovia clenched her fists so tightly that her nails stabbed into her palm. However, she couldn’t let loose her
emotions and brought disgrace to herself since everyone was watching.
This time, the auction was the selling and buying of the treasured items and antiques that everyone had collected.
It was equivalent to the exhibition center buying stuff from collectors.
The more valuable one treasured item or antique was, the higher price they had. Of course, the exhibition center
did not accept items that were bought from the private sector. This was because most of the antique transactions
in the private sector were from unknown sources, and once they accepted them, it might cause them a lot of

Therefore, most of the antique collectors that came to the auction today were from the upper class. The items they
got were bought through formal channels at great expense and with great rigor, which was the preferred condition
of the exhibition hall.

meticulous inspections, which was the preferred condition for trading in the exhibition center.
Daisie was not interested in the auction. She placed her hand on the forehead, feeling bored.
Two hours later, the auction ended, and it was time for lunch. The exhibition center booked an upscale buffet
restaurant for their guests to have their lunch. The restaurant offered all sorts of dishes, and the service was good.
While Daisie was selecting her food, a figure approached her. She turned her head around and saw Zenovia
standing beside her.
There were some pastries on her plate as she said, “You're more capable than I think you are, Ms. Vanderbilt. Did
you ask your family to force the Knowles to give in to you?
“Well, even though you can't make decisions for yourself, you're still their daughter. I'm sure they'll give you
whatever you want no matter how reluctant they are. Besides, considering the status of your family, I can
understand as well why the Knowles would choose you over me.”
