Chapter 22 -25 BONUS Just then , a knock sounded on the door .
Evelyn opened the door after a brief knock and entered .
In her white gown , she looked the picture of nobility and grace .
Her long , straight hair cascaded down to her waist , adding a touch of gentleness to her presence .
The auction is starting , Brian .
Lets go , she said .
Gwens expression stiffened when she saw Evelyn If it werent for Evelyns meddling , Ariana wouldve married Brian long ago .
Now , they were attending an auction together .
Brian hadnt even considered what the Torrey family would say about that .
Clearly , this was an obvious move to embarrass them .
Mrs.
Torrey , was it ? Brians mentioned you before .
And you are … Evelyn trailed off as she took in Fionas outfit , which was a mirror of her own style .
She smiled .
Was as one Ariana not enough ? Now they were bringing in another one .
Then again , it didnt matter how many people they paraded in front of Brian ; they were all just stand ins .
Noticing Evelyns attention on Fiona , Gwen grew uneasy .
She quickly tugged Fiona toward the door .
Were done with our business here , so well be leaving now ! Right away ! She left with Fiona .

Torrey , then .
No wonder she told me to come and accompany you today .
Brian frowned .
She asked you to come ? I think she really wants to break off the engagement , Brian .
Why dont we just … let her be ? In the past , Evelyn wouldnt have cared about this .

Even the doors were grand andersh Brian was immediately the center of attention when he got out of his car .
Behind him , Evelyn caught the publics attention too .
And inadvertently , Arianas .
In her last life , neither Brian nor William had attended the auction in person .
They had instead opted to have their assistants call in their bids by phone .
