How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 43
Sylvia protected Cassandra behind her and demanded assertively, “Ms. Woolridge, you are well aware of the truth. It’s time to
apologize. You’re not welcome at the charity auction tonight. The Woolridge family, please leave.”
Grace felt embarrassed that night.
In her view, Yulissa was to blame for all of it.
Cassandra was correct. Her daughter, Morgana, didn’t know Cassandra at all. Yet, she somehow knew precisely who to target.
There was no doubt that someone had intentionally orchestrated the situation!
Grace pressed Morgana’s head and forced the latter to apologize to Cassandra. Then, they hurriedly departed without looking
back.
She didn’t dare to meet the eyes of those present. Her family was others spite at now, and she expected nothing but scorn and
ridicule on their faces:
“If the Yates family still intends to attend the event tonight, stay put. If you can’t manage your daughter properly, don’t blame me
for being impolite!”
She made it clear that she would not hesitate to remove them to appease Cassandra’s displeasure.
After the farce concluded, Sylvia went backstage. When Sylvia recognized that Lucas. was not suitable to handle the situation
that happened moments ago, she took it upon
herself to address matters.
Cassandra followed Kenneth to the front row.
Meanwhile, Yulissa and her family could only take seats at the far end.
“Hello, everyone. The first item up for auction today is Mrs. Sylvia Hathaway’s entire jewelry collection from ‘Lifetime Promises.””
Then, the audience observed as the staff brought out the jewelry and displayed it for
everyone.
It was a set of red garnet jewelry, with a legend stating that those who wore red garnet would live a long and healthy life, amas s
wealth, and attain wisdom, love, and happiness. Sylvia’s jewelry set comprised a red garnet ring, a red garnet chest pin, and a
red garnet necklace and earrings.
They exuded a noble and elegant appearance, displaying intricate craftsmanship.

“400 thousand dollars!”
“600 thousand dollars!” another added.
“1 million dollars!”
“1.2 million dollars!”
The bidding amount continued to rise.
Miranda also harbored a desire for the jewelry. Initially contemplating making a bid, she hesitated when the amount unexpectedly
surged to 1.2 million dollars. At this point, she was reluctant to get involved.
‘Forget it. I don’t want it anymore! The items after this might be better,’ she thought.
“1.2 million dollars going once! 1.2 million dollars going twice! 1.2 million dollars going thrice. Sold! Congratulations, Mrs. Sawyer,
for winning the ‘Lifetime Promises’ collection!” announced the host.
“The next item for auction is ‘Dashing Breeze’ by Mr. Gale Maguire, donated by Mr.
Zelinski!”
Upon hearing the announcement by Riley, thé host, Cassandra frowned slightly.
‘Gale Maguire? Does Mr. Zelinski truly have my painting? No way!’ she thought.
The painting then unfolded.
‘It really is my painting. What a small world, she thought.
Among those present at the auction that day were many notable figures from upper society, along with fans of Gale. When they
learned that the painting up for bid was Gale’s “Dashing Breeze,” they all resembled hungry wolves eagerly awaiting their prey.
“1 million dollars!”
“2 million dollars!”

“5 million dollars!”

The bidding amount kept adding up.
“16 million dollars!”
“20 million dollars!”

Cassandra’s forehead wrinkled as she couldn’t help but wonder who the fool was willing to pay 20 million dollars for her painting.
‘How did my painting manage to be sold for tens of millions of dollars? Why do these people like it so much?’ she pondered.
“20 million dollars going once! 20 million dollars going twice! 20 million dollars going thrice. Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Lambert!”
“The next item is donated by the Yates family. It’s a... Rolex watch?”
Waves of laughter could be heard immediately.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Benjamin and his entourage instantly felt embarrassed.
Leonardo didn’t expect that his father would donate a Rolex watch either.
‘It’s something that costs merely tens of thousands of dollars. In this circle, no one will even pay attention to it. Why would Dad
donate it?’ he wondered.
Benjamin didn’t expect things to turn out this way, either. ‘Weren’t they informed that we can donate anything we want? Why
aren’t these people playing by the rules and donating something more expensive than the previous item?’ he wondered.
“The starting price is 30,000 dollars.”
Silence then ensued.
Nobody was trying to bid on it.
“100 thousand dollars!”

Miranda was stunned, recognizing that it was Yulissa’s voice!
“100 thousand dollars!”
“100 thousand dollars going once, 100 thousand dollars going twice, and 100 thousand

dollars going thrice. Congratulations, Ms. Yates, for winning this watch.”
Yulissa stepped onto the stage and made a payment with her card. After retrieving the watch, she remarked, “While this watch
may seem ordinary, it holds sentimental value as it was a gift from Mother to Dad when she earned her first significant sum of
money. It’s truly precious. Dad has cherished it like a treasure, and I never anticipated him donating it today. As their daughter, I
couldn’t bear to witness my father parting with his beloved possessions, so I used my pocket money to secure it for him. Thank
you.”
Her words dispelled any preconceived notions among the audience. They hadn’t anticipated such a romantic story behind a
seemingly ordinary watch.
However, the other three members of the Yates family appeared perplexed.
To them, it was just a common wristwatch, and they couldn’t fathom why Yulissa would attach such significance to it.
Leonardo’s expression took on a slightly gloomy cast.
‘Why would Lisa lie?’ he thought.
Over an hour later, nearly all the donated items were showcased and auctioned, with the exception of the Yates family, who
surprisingly refrained from participating. appearing almost like jokes.
However, not only did they abstain, but Cassandra and Kenneth also chose not to bid on anything.
The auction was drawing to a close, and there were two more items left to be auctioned off.
“The second-to-last item up for auction is a gold stephane adorned with an eagle carving, generously donated by Mr. Zelinski.
This exquisite piece is a rare artifact from the Roman Empire.”
Cassandra’s eyes lit up when she noticed it. This headdress is so beautiful!’ she exclaimed inwardly.
It immediately captured her heart.
‘I want it!’
Kenneth observed the longing in her eyes.
“10 million dollars!”
Someone made a preemptive bid.

Cassandra followed closely behind. “12 million dollars!”

The Yates family watched Cassandra’s behavior in disbelief. ‘Is that b itch starting to bid. now? Is she crazy? How could she
make a bidding at 12 million dollars?’ they thought.
Yulissa was utterly angry at that point. She liked the headdress too.
“Mom, I really like the headdress. Can we try to win it?” Yulissa held onto Miranda’s. arm, acting coquettishly.
Miranda was somewhat hesitant as it was expensive.
‘But, Lisa likes it!’
When he noticed that Yulissa liked it, Leonardo made an offer without hesitation. “13 million dollars.”
“14 million dollars!”
“15 million dollars!”
“18 million dollars!”
“18.4 million dollars!”
“20 million dollars!”
It didn’t end there.
Whenever Cassandra placed a bid, Leonardo would follow suit, initially adding 1 million dollars and then appending 400
thousand dollars. However, as the amounts escalated, he would add the bid with only an additional 200 thousand dollars.
Kenneth saw the determination in Cassandra’s eyes.
He asked in a low voice, “You like it, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I’ll win it for you.”
“That’s not necessary. I’ll do it myself.”
After all, he had given Faye so much money. She had enough to bid for this item.
“26.2 million dollars.”
“30 million dollars.”

Leonardo began to feel discontented, not only because Cassandra had provoked him by driving up the bidding, but also because
the escalated price surpassed the item’s

original value, making Leonardo question its overall worth.
“Leo, stop making the bid. I don’t like it anymore.”
In truth, Yulissa still loved it. However, she believed that Cassandra didn’t have any
money.
There was no doubt in her mind that Cassandra couldn’t afford it!
At that time, Yulissa anticipated that her brother would secure the winning bid with a last-second maneuver, giving her the
opportunity to mock Cassandra. The prospect of this possibility made Yulissa feel a sense of satisfaction.
“30 million dollars going once, 30 million dollars going twice, and 30 million dollars going thrice. Congratulations, Ms. Cassandra
Yates, on winning this gold stephane with eagle carving. Please head over to the backstage to make payment later.”
“The last item is donated by Ms. Cassandra Yates. It’s Dr. Quirke’s ‘Restorative Pill”!”
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this revelation, as they had believed that such a pill no longer existed!
The Restorative Pill was a small medicinal capsule developed by Cassandra some time ago, designed to aid in the healing of
broken hands and legs.
“400 million dollars!”
It was Kenneth who made the offer!
