The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Light the Flame.

Finished

The royal wedding rings were the final item of the evening–the showstopper. Before that, the auction offered up a string of appetizers.

Porcelain, fabrics, rare flowers, even a lighter and a horseshoe.

It felt less like a luxury auction and more like an upscale flea market.

What caught Yunice’s attention was that Wyatt bid on several lots of fabric–items no one else was really interested in. He secured them easily.

But Wyatt wasn’t looking at the stage–his eyes had shifted, sharp and cold, aimed at the general. seating above them.

Someone was ogling Yunice’s legs through the sheer layers of her dress. The man’s gaze had gone a bit too low, a bit too long.

That word was way too generous.

Wyatt stared at her through the flame. his eyes filled with something predatory and amused.

He leaned forward slightly. The fire caught the tip of the cigarette.

Paul. seated far behind, was fuming–literally grinding his teeth.

Wyatt leaned back again, cigarette between his fingers. “Nice lighter.” he said with unhurried
