She didn’t know what she was saying to Jeremiah, and her slightly upturned red lips made her look even more charming.
It was Serena,
“Max?” Roxanne was still caught up in the thrill of surprising everyone with her win, but then she noticed Maxwell was a little distracted.
What was he looking at?
Roxanne followed Maxwell’s gaze, but there was nothing there.
“Yeah.”
Maxwell looked away and turned to Roxanne, “Let’s go in.”
“Okay.” Roxanne gave a sweet smile, then followed Maxwell and walked into the villa together.

The paparazzi still wanted to follow, but the villa gate blocked their
way.
They couldn’t get into the main area.
So I could only watch those people go in, feeling unwilling.
But today I got the big scoop of Roxanne going to the dinner party with Maxwell, and that’s enough!
“Looks like Stephanie was really done for.”

“I thought it was okay, didn’t Roxanne only have half a year to live?”
“Yeah, it was just about these six months, to see if Stephanie could handle it or not.”
They mumbled, each quickly contacted their own people, quickly sent
it out.
The villa was private property of the Conway family. It had three
floors. The first floor was the hall. The second floor was for some more private guests. The third floor was split into two parts, one was the lounge, the other was the rooftop garden.
Inner area.
As soon as Maxwell came in, everyone got excited and wanted to go up and talk to him.
After all, the Humphrey Group was the top of the three big giants in Haraville, and the Humphrey Group was fully controlled by Maxwell!
Maxwell usually didn’t go to these dinners either!
But after Maxwell and Roxanne signed in, they just went straight up to the second floor.
But there were very few seats on the second floor, and a lot of people could only shake their heads in disappointment.
At this moment, Stephanie and Jeremiah had already sat down.
Maxwell and Roxanne came in and saw the two people not far away.
Roxanne just took one look at the masked woman sitting over there, and her brows furrowed.
Serena actually showed up too!

Right after that, Roxanne relaxed again.
Serena was probably brought by Jeremiah, not actually invited.
Like this, she felt pretty good, they were all brought here, but she was Maxwell’s date!
The difference here was huge.
As time went by, the host officially announced the start.
As the host kicked things off, the competing products were displayed one by one.
“The first item was a Ming Dynasty antique. The donor for this auction donated 50%. The starting price was…”
Soon, the place warmed up, and people would take pictures when they saw something they liked.
On one side, Maxwell looked at Roxanne sitting next to him.
Roxanne was looking at the list.
“If you like something, just take a picture of it,” Maxwell said.
He also pointed at his own number, meaning it was obvious he would pay her.
Roxanne looked up and smiled, saying, “No need, Max, I had some savings myself. I didn’t need anything expensive, I just wanted to show my own feelings.”
Maxwell didn’t say yes or no.
It’s just, listening to Roxanne say those things, for some reason, he remembered the day he went to the courthouse, when Stephanie

handed him that property division agreement.
It said clearly in that agreement, during the divorce cooling–off period, the money they each made belonged to themselves.
