Chapter 84: Auctioning The House

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Bell family? Isn’t that my mother’s declining family? Why is there still an inheritance for me?

‘My mother and father had married because of the engagement between the two families. They did not love each other in the first place, they merely followed the family’s arrangements and continued the family’s bloodline.
However, at that time, my mother’s family had already declined. Many years ago, the huge family fortune was only left with a few empty shell companies. After the seniors of the Bell family passed away, only my mother remained.
My mother’s family lost its use, so my father treated her harshly and made things difficult for her. My mother was often depressed and passed away not long after.

After she passed away, all I could inherit were a few shell companies left behind by the Bell family. They didn’t have much value.

However, where did these manors worth billions come from?

While I was still confused, Payne explained, “Many years ago, several manors owned by the Bell Family were temporarily transferred away. Once the asset freezing period is over, the heir will take care of them. According to the will of the last heir of the Bell Family, all the properties will be given to her
daughter, Miss Luna.”

So, this huge fortune was hidden by my mother many years ago and she decided to give it to me today?

My eyes widened slightly as my mind raced, I couldn’t figure out why they chose this day.

Today is neither my birthday nor my mother’s, nor was there any significance to it. It seemed like a perfectly normal day.

What’s going on? The doubts in my heart grew stronger.

Payne waited until the crowd quieted down before taking a box from a nearby waiter and opened it. Immediately after, he took out a brooch carved from blue crystal and carefully placed it on my chest.

After arranging the brooch, Payne looked sad for some reason. He patted my shoulder and whispered, “Miss Luna is so beautiful in this dress.”

“Thank you. This dress is my mother’s.”

I paused, not taking the words to heart. Instead, I stared at him intently. “Did my mother leave anything else to tell me?”

After losing her for so long, I actually feel an inexplicable sense of anticipation for her meticulous planning after so many years.

“Of course there is. Please wait a moment.” Payne gave me a reassuring smile and waved for the rest of the crew to get ready for the next segment.

As the ball progressed, it was finally time for the most important segment—auctioning off several large estates belonging to the Bell family.

It’s obvious that all these people who aren’t rich or noble at the ball are here for these estates. And according to the rules of inheritance my mother designated, the money obtained from the auction can only be taken by me. And I have no right to inherit these estates.

However, there were still some people who were dissatisfied. A bald middle-aged man glared at me angrily and shouted, “Damn it! I heard that these manors are ownerless, and the price will be greatly reduced. I didn’t expect so many people to come and steal a shabby manor!”
He looked very angry, as if I had deliberately held this deceptive ball to coax him to come over.

In fact, the value of the manors auctioned by the Bell family did not lie in the manor itself, but in the large mineral land where the manor was located. There was gold, jade, agate, coal, and so on. They were of varying sizes and were scattered everywhere.

I smiled and ignored him. However, even though the abandoned manor that was supposed to be taken over by the country had suddenly become a private property, it didn’t affect the passion of the rich and powerful. The five estates were auctioned off at a high price of 6.8 billion.

The last estate to be auctioned, which was the large manor where the ball was held, occupied a large area..
