Chapter 16 Silver Mask, Handsome Man

“Where the hell is this? Why am I being locked here? You are breaking the law if you do this! Get me
out of here! Get me out of here!” Claire Bennett yells and clutches angrily at the bars of the cage, with
the chains of her hands clashing against the bars and making a sharp clattering sound that makes
everyone under the platform more excited.

Her present appearance is delicate, soft, stubborn, and people can’t help but want to conquer!

The man on the stage laughs at Claire Bennett’s words and raises his microphone to the crowd. “This
young lady says we are breaking the law here, but this is the young master of the Howard family who
wants to auction this woman. Do you dare to buy her?”

Leo Howard?!

Suddenly, Claire glares and feels furious that Leo Howard has sent her here?! How dare he.... How can
he do this to her?!

Anger flares up in her mind, and Claire Bennett trembles with rage!

“I will pay 150 thousand dollars for her all night!”

“This lady looks very nice. 200 thousand dollars, I will take it!”

“450 thousand dollars. How can we afford such a cheap price for the woman from the Howard family?”

“I will give you 600 thousand dollars!”

The crowd begins to bid, looking at Claire Bennett with a feverish glance.

Claire Bennett clenches her hands, her nails stuck in her flesh, and she is in pain, but now her heart is
more painful.



Claire Bennett doesn’t believe that Leo Howard would be so cruel to her and torture her like this, don’t
believe he will...sell her! Humiliates her!

“I will give you five million dollars.”

While the crowd is still bidding, suddenly a clear and pleasant voice shocks everyone present.

Five million dollars!

In dismay, Claire Bennett could not help looking up at the source of the sound.

The host on the stage doesn’t really think that Claire Bennett is so valuable that his eyes bright with
excitement and his voice goes up, “This gentleman buys the young lady for five million dollars. Is there
anyone who pays more than five million dollars?”

“One time...Two times. Does anyone want to pay higher”? asks the host.

Claire Bennett pauses, incredulous that, although she doesn’t want to be auctioned at all, she is
horrified by the man’s offer.

That is five million dollars!

“Third time, five million dollars! Deal!”

The host immediately presses the electric bell, and then smiles at the man who makes the offer.
“Gentleman, the lady is yours tonight!”

Claire Bennett, seeing that the host has the key in his hand, says to the man under the stage, “Sir, this
is the key to the cage and the handcuffs. You have the option of untying the young lady.”



That moderator’s tone is very ambiguous, the words are also very explicit, which let the people under
the stage immediately heckle up.

“OK.”

Claire Bennett hears the faint sound of a man’s voice, and then she sees someone walking slowly up
the stage.

He wears a tailored black suit, with a silver-white mask covers his face only exposes the thin lips, and
fine chin, and dark black eyes.

Claire Bennett could not help but wonder, this man...

The man takes the key and approaches Claire Bennett. Claire Bennett doesn’t wake up and tremble
until she hears the sound of the lock.
