Chapter 927

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 ask me earlier how to open the box? I couldn't find information anywhere else, and I 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 come and have a look with me tonight. You’ll never know if it's true otherwise."

I was really curious about what was inside the sandalwood box. Now that I had clues on how to open the box, I had to go and take a look.

Therefore, I nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you."

I knew very little about the Fredericks. I 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. I looked at Heidi and said, "But we don't have an invitation."

She nodded and said with a smile, "Since I told you about this, I 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 told me to attend on his behalf."

If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about anymore. I 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 I know a bit about how the Fredericks are doing in Salt City, I know nothing about how they're doing in Whaldorf City. I haven’t really seen any family taking out so many expensive things for a charity auction."

I frowned. "I’m not so sure myself, but I met an old lady at Cassey's wedding last time and Cassey told me that she's a member of the Fredericks. I could tell that the people around her were those of high status. She must have an unusual identity."

After a pause, I 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.

I chatted with Heidi for a while more. She left after handing me the invitation letter.

Miss Woods was preparing the things to bring to the cemetery. As I was attending the Fredericks’ charity auction tonight, we could only go to the cemetery tomorrow.

After informing Miss Woods about it, I took Munchkin upstairs and planned to take an afternoon nap with him.

As soon as my head hit the pillow, Theo called.

I answered the call. His melodious and attractive voice entered my ears. "Have you had lunch?"

I 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."

Theo asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

I looked at the invitation letter that I 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 gave me being 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 I was aware that he was worried about me, I thought he was making a big deal out of it. I said, "I’ll g o with Heidi. It'll be okay."

He repeated, "Ask Keith to go with you."

Left with no other choice, I could only nod and say, " Okay, then."

Munchkin had fallen asleep. I 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."
