Heidi paused for a moment and continued, "I heard that this box has a pair, and in order to open it, both boxes
must be placed together. Didn't you askearlier how to open the box? | couldn't find information anywhere
else, and | think the one you're holding may be one of the twin boxes."
I frowned. "Twin boxes?”
Heidi took a sip of tea and said with a soft sigh, "I think you should cand have a look withtonight. You'll
never know if it's true otherwise."
| was really curious about what was inside the sandalwood box. Now that | had clues on how to open the box, |
had to go and take a look.
Therefore, | nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you."
| knew very little about the Fredericks. | only knew that they started out in the real estate industry and was now
a multinational trading company that was mainly in the electronics industry.
In order to participate in a family auction, one needed an invitation. | looked at Heidi and said, "But we don't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthave an invitation."
She nodded and said with a smile, "Since | told you about this, | definitely have ways to bring you in.
Grant Corporation has a prominent status in Salt City. Even though Mr. Grant isn’t in Salt City, an invitation letter
would've been sent to Grant Corporation. Mr. Grant knew that and toldto attend on his behalf."
If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about anymore. | nodded. "Great."
"Do you know how Fredericks Corporations are doing i n Whaldorf City?"
Heidi leaned back in her chair and said in a puzzled tone, "Although | know a bit about how the Fredericks are
doing in Salt City, | know nothing about how they're doing in Whaldorf City. | haven't really seen any family
taking out so many expensive things for a charity auction."
| frowned. "I'm not so sure myself, but | met an old lady at Cassey's wedding last tand Cassey toldthat
she's a member of the Fredericks. | could tell that the people around her were those of high status. She must
have an unusual identity."
After a pause, | continued, "Perhaps these things that seem very valuable to us are not worth mentioning in their
eyes. You should know why these families hold charity auctions. They use these things that seem less valuable
to them to exchange for much better benefits. Isn't that a really good deal?"
Companies held charity auctions for several reasons. Firstly, to display their family's financial capabilities.
Secondly, to earn a good reputation, which in return, would boost their company's shares. Perhaps the
Fredericks were planning something big in the business field lately and that was why they were holding this
charity auction.
| chatted with Heidi for a while more. She left after handingthe invitation letter.
Miss Woods was preparing the things to bring to the cemetery. As | was attending the Fredericks’ charity auction
tonight, we could only go to the cemetery tomorrow.
After informing Miss Woods about it, | took Munchkin upstairs and planned to take an afternoon nap with him.
As soon as my head hit the pillow, Theo called.
| answered the call. His melodious and attractive voice entered my ears. "Have you had lunch?"
| nodded. "I'm planning to take an afternoon nap with Munchkin."
"Sounds good." Theo's voice was filled with smiles." What do you plan to do this afternoon?"
"I wanted to go to the cemetery at first, but there have been changes in the plan so it'll be pushed to tomorrow."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo asked curiously, “What's wrong?”
| looked at the invitation letter that | had put on the bedside table and sighed softly. "Heidi said that the
Fredericks are holding a charity auction tonight and there'll be a sandalwood box that looks a lot like the one that
Mother gavebeing auctioned. They seem t o be twin boxes, so that's why I'm going to take a look."
"Go with Keith," Theo said unhappily.
Though | was aware that he was worried about me, | thought he was making a big deal out of it. | said, "I'll g o
with Heidi. It'll be okay."
He repeated, "Ask Keith to go with you."
Left with no other choice, | could only nod and say, " Okay, then."
Munchkin had fallen asleep. | glanced at him and lowered my voice, saying, "Talk later, Munchkin has fallen
asleep. I'm going to take a nap too."

Theo gave a light hum. "Go after having your dinner tonight. Remember to put on more layers."
