Chapter 55: AUCTION 2
Harlow walked into the hall with Andrew Phillipsburg by her side. She doesn’t intend on being a bidder tonight, but she had other things in mind.
Harlow’s effortless grace and raw, unfiltered allure made heads turn, whispers rippling through the crowd as she moved forward. She didn’t care what the people had to say about her, to Halkhalls, she was a despicable daughter of the Blackwood family.
Cutting off her marriage before 24 hours was considered an abomination in the society.
"How shameless to show her face amongst us." She heard murmurs from the women around.
"Look at her, already hanging around with another man."
"A whore just like her mother." She tried to ignore their judgment. It would have been better if Alanis wasn’t directly behind her, but he was. His presence only fueled the judgment passed on her. She wasn’t in a courtroom, yet it felt like everyone in there was present to judge her.
Andrew found a seat, he had also heard the conversations of the women around. "Let’s stay here," Andrew said but she quickly declined. She wasn’t a bidder, these seats are meant for bidders, she’s a presenter for tonight.
"I have my collections to showcase, I’ll see you later." At her words, she scurried away.
"I heard she got kicked out of her father’s mansion not too long ago." The women continued.
