| felt my head spinning. "I don't know much about clothing brands, so | don't usually pay attention to these
things."
“This man and Keith are of the slevel." Heidi smiled. "A tycoon like Mr. Grant usually wears clothes that cost
more than millions."
| had never closely examined the brand of clothes Theo usually wore. | said helplessly, “His clothes are usually
custom-made. Besides, he has been wearing the scolor for many years. Nothing seems special about the
clothes he wears."
He always wore black, and there was not a single exception.
Heidi gasped. "Custom-made ones are the expensive ones, okay? The designer's labor cost alone is an
astronomical amount. His clothes are designed by a renowned designer, hand-tailored by the best tailor, and are
no doubt the only ones of their kind out there. There won't be a second piece. You'll be horrified by how
expensive it is."
| pursed my lips and did not say anything else.

was not exactly particular about clothes and was fine with them as long as they were presentable to wear when |
went out. Hence, | never really studied these things.
The sandalwood box was eventually given to that bidder, but I did not think that it was a pity.
In my opinion, that box was not worth this much.
| asked Keith to get the man's contact details. If he was curious about what was in the box, he would agree to try
and open it too.
The following items that were up for auction were all jewelry pieces. | was not interested and planned to leave.
Heidi had no plans on leaving yet, so Keith and I left first.
After leaving the banquet hall, a man called out to us.
It was the man who got the sandalwood box. He walked up to me. "Hello, Miss. Do | have the honor to have a
drink with you?"
I glanced at Keith and figured he must have told this guy that | had the other box.
Keith nodded to indicate that | could accept the invitation.
| looked at the man and asked, "What's your name, Sir?"
He replied with a smile, "Jackie Kingsman. You can
callJackie."
| nodded. "Hello, Jackie. I'm Wanda Lane. It's nice to meet you."
Jackie made a polite gesture. "Ladies first, Ms. Lane."
There was a refreshment area inside the hotel. Keith and | followed him there.
He had probably informed the staff in advance because the waiter cto serve us tea as soon as we took our
seats.
Jackie said with a smile, "Salt City's local tea is really famous and I've always wanted to try it."
| did not say anything. Keith looked mildly at him. He said in a deep and low voice, "Mr. Jackie, why don't you get
straight to the point?"
Jackie glanced at him, then looked atand said, "I heard that Ms. Lane holds a box that looks exactly like the
one | got during the auction just now. I'm curious a s to what's inside the box, so | would like to put both boxes
together to see if | can really open it."
| pursed my lips. "My sentiments exactly, Mr. Jackie. But | left the box at home. If you're free, you can take the
box to my house to try it out."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm glad you agree, Ms. Lane." Jackie took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I got mine from an auction. Did
you get yours from an auction too, Ms. Lane?"
| shook my head. "My box didn't cfrom an auction. An elder gave it to me."
Jackie's pupils froze for a moment but his expression quickly returned to normal. "You must be from a prominent
family, then, Ms. Lane. An ordinary family would not be able to afford to hire a distinguished carpenter to build
this box.”
After a pause, he continued, "But although I'm not from Salt City, | know a little about this city. It seems like
there’s no distinguished family here with the surnLane."
| smiled slightly and glanced at Keith.
He immediately took the hint and said to Jackie," You've got it wrong, Mr. Jackie. My madam comes from an
ordinary family. Besides, we still don’t know i f her box and your box are really twins. Since both of you have
agreed to give it a try, let's keep in touch by phone as it’s getting late. We should be going back now."

Jackie frowned and said to me, "You haven't even taken a sip of the tea.”
