“Really? I’m honored.” Juliette was caught off guard.
“Yeah, you’re the first person Louis’s ever actively approached. And the only one he’s willing to call Mom,” Patrick replied.
Juliette wasn’t aware of this. She thought Louis was just naturally friendly, considering their first meeting resulted in him asking her to be his mom.
“I want the sandalwood. The best
sandalwood froin Sandinaviadalwood in the world come from Sandinavia, but it’s almost extinct now, so imported
sandalwood from Sandinavia is super expensive–it’s even auction–worthy.”
“For making perfume?”
Tep
Do you know how to make perfume?”
“A little bit.” Juliette replied. “But don’t buy it for me–it’s way too pricey, and the money from your acting has to support the kid–significant pressure. As for me a lady of the Vaughn family, and the future Mrs. Montgomery, money is not an issue.”
With that, she flashed a bright smile, a hint of self–mockery in
A faint smile escaped Patrick’s lips as he replied, “Alright, I won’t
Juliette made her way toward the auction, while Patrick stopped by the restroom before returning to the auction hall.
She saw him take a corner seat, and soon, Louis popped his head up from his chair, caught her gaze, and winked playfully at her.
While munching on chips, Daphne looked around, asking, “Where’s your fiancé? Haven’t seen your brother or Bianca either No sooner had she finished than Finn, Bianca, and Evan walked through the door.
Bianca was in a white dress, exuding a mix of innocence and allure–pitiable yet subtly sensual.
On her right was Finn in a white suit. His handsome face and gentle demeanor made him the epitome of a refined, elegant
gentleman.
On her left was Evan in a dark gray suit, his rugged features adding a sharper edge to the otherwise refined look, but undeniably a hottie himself.
The trio walked in together, instantly captivating everyone’s attention, with countless eyes filled with envy for Bianca. With a rich brother and a rich brother–in–law by her side, she was walking in the middle like a princess.
Daphne nudged Juliette’s arm. “Your sister here is into perfume making. Bet she’s here tonight to grab the sandalwood. Don’t you go giving it up to her, Juliette.”
Daphne never liked Bianca, thinking she was a hypocrite.
Every time Julleute gave up her favorite stuff to Bianca, Daphne just fels so frustrated.
As Bianca came closer, Daphnie rolled her eyes, cursing inwardly She knows dam well Juliette loves making perfumes, yet

she’s always snatching stuff from her. Juliette didn’t even dare to how her hobbies, so no one in the Vaughn family even. knew she was into perfume–making.
Juliette only has one spot left, Finm, you sit next to her. I’ll find other place with Evan, Bianca said softly.
Finn nodded.
Evan led Bianca to another seat.
Soon, Finn sat down next to Juliette, smiling gently at her, “You and Daphne been here long? Hungry? I brought you some chocolate and milk.”
Juliette was extremely sensitive to smell. With Finn right beside her, she could catch the scent he left after having sex with Bianca. And now he was pulling out chocolate and milk…
Witnessing all their crazy sex from her previous life, she just felt super disgusted.
Finn already stuck a straw in the milk and was holding it up to her mouth.
But Juliette just tossed the whole bottle into the trash can next to her.
Finn frowned, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
As the future heir of the Montgomery family, one of the top four wealthy clans, he attracted considerable attention. He felt that Juliette’s behavior had embarrassed him.
But Juliette smiled innocently at him, explaining. “I’ll get fat drinking milk at night. You don’t want me to be a chubby bride, do you?”
Finn laughed, giving her a once–over. “With your current figure, eating a bit more won’t make a difference.”
“What a great actor! He’s making it so real.‘ Juliette stared at him for a few seconds, then gave a slight smile. “Truthfully, the milk you bought isn’t the brand I prefer.”
Finn’s expression faltered slightly.
He had previously heard that Juliette had changed and wreaked all kinds of havoc on his Bianca, yet he had remained skeptical. Now, he was starting to feel it.
The present Juliette was like a pampered rich lady, and amid the throng of onlookers, she actually dared to humiliate him so brazenly.
Finn smiled gently, his sincerity deepening. “My bad, what brand do you prefer? I’ll buy your favorite next time.”
Juliette covered her mouth, chuckling. “Mr. Montgomery, stop joking. We’re getting married soon, and you still don’t know which brand of milk I like?”
Finn’s smile broadened. “Right, I was just joking. How could I not know your preference? Today was a bit rushed, and I couldn’t buy your favorite. Don’t be upset, okay? ‘Il bid on your vorite sandalwood for you later.”
Reborn in the ash, Juliette still couldn’t help but admire that Fing was a master of acting.
Even with her twice–rebirthed eyes, she couldn’t find a single trace of acting in him–Gentle, patient, and full of love. “How did you know I wanted sandalwood?”

“You mentioned to me last time that sandalwood is a very rare terial for making perfume”
The auction began, and Juliette stopped talking.

It turned out he remembered that she wanted sandalwood, but of this day in her past life, he secured the sandalwood only to have her give it to Bianca, saying that the sandalwood was of use to her, but vital to Bianca.
And all the Vaughn family sided with Finn, forcing her to relingosh the sandalwood.
“Wow. Mr. Montgomery is so sweet to Ms. Vaughn! Despite her being so capricious, he still spoils her. Isn’t that the epitome of a perfect match?
“Ms. Vaughn is utterly blessed! Wealthy parents, beautiful, and her husband is Finn, who is not only handsome but also so gentlemanly and capable. Ugh, I’m green with envy!”
“Haven’t you heard that Mr. Montgomery is planning to buy Ms. Vaughn her favorite item later? If only I had a man who loved me like that, I’d die with a smile.”
Hearing the gossip around, Juliette flashed an icily cold smile.
In her past life, Finn deceived everyone, including her, with such tricks.
The auction first featured various jewels and accessories. About half an hour later, the sandalwood was up for auction.
This piece of sandalwood weighed around 20 pounds, boasted excellent color, and was of top–tier quality, starting at a bid of 300 thousand dollars.
Evan was the first to raise his paddle. “600 thousand dollars.”
Seated beside him, Bianca maintained a composed smile.
Their father had allocated a 3–million–dollar budget, which should be more than enough. Whether it was Evan or Finn who won the bid, the sandalwood would ultimately be hers.
However, at this moment, a childish voice rang out. “3 million dollars.”
Evan’s mouth twitched violently, feeling he had been deliberately targeted. And as he turned to look, he was stunned to see that the bidder was actually a child.
