Chapter 84 Value:** It is rumored that *The City of Cycles* was the token of love between a mysterious king and queen. If one opens the pocket watch, they can learn about the past and present lives of their loved one.
**Opening method:** Unknown.
Nathan looked at the pocket watch with little interest. His expression was one of indifference. However, his phone buzzed again with a message from Victoria: âNathan, I want it.â
At the moment, Nathan was feeling financially strained, but when it came to Victoriaâs request, he readily agreed. âIâll buy it for you.â
Victoria sent a satisfied smile emoji: âNathan, I heard that next weekâs fashion competition auction will be held at your Hill familyâs Galdon Hotel, and *The City of Cycles* is one of the auction items. You must try to secure it for me.â
âDonât worry, Iâll make sure to get it for you.â
When the fashion competition auction was held, something miraculous happenedâVictoriaâs illness was suddenly cured. As Nathan and Victoria entered the auction venue, Nathan spotted Isabella sitting in the front row.
He was taken aback. How could the person he had once considered useless and incompetent afford a frontârow seat at |

Theodore and Quinn were cousins. Despite their youth, both. were known for their extraordinary looks and nearâgenius intelligence. Raised by wealthy families, they were both exceptional talents in the business world. They were regarded as young elites.
Isabella, sitting between them, looked unremarkable in comparison.
âNathan, my Sis must have used your influence to get that I seat. She really doesnât know how to behave.ââ Victoria commented, voicing Nathanâs thoughts.
Nathanâs face darkened. He had warned Isabella several times not to use his name to gain attention, but it seemed she had completely ignored his warnings. He was determined to teach her a lesson when the time came What Nathan didnât know was that with Isabellaâs positioning in the fashion industry, her frontârow seat was wellâdeserved.
At that moment, a receptionist approached them, smiling brightly as she addressed Victoria and Nathan. âMiss Moore, Young Master Hill, you are key invitees to this fashion competition auction. Weâve reserved seats for you. Please follow me.â
Victoria had made a name for herself in the fashion industry and had earned her own place in the circle. She was satisfied with the seat reserved for her, which was in the third row on the left.

However, Nathan was puzzled. As someone of his status, ca capable of giving others a boost, why was he seated in the second row on the left? This seemed almost like an attempt to marginalize him, especially compared to his status as heir to the Hill family.
Though Nathan wasnât upset, Victoria immediately voiced her dissatisfaction. âWhy are Isabella and Theodore sitting in the front row, while weâre stuck behind them?â
Nathan listened attentively as the receptionist explained, âMiss, the people sitting in the front rows are either major figures in the fashion industry or sponsors of this auction. The seating arrangement is decided by the higherâups. If you have concerns about your seat, please speak to the organizers.â
Victoria fell silent. Given her own standing in the industry, being seated in the third row was already a generous gesture.
She shot a resentful glance at Isabella. âNathan, Isabella must have spent a fortune to get that spot.â
Nathan, still puzzled, couldnât understand. âWhere would she get the money to sponsor this auction?â
As soon as he sat down, Nathan couldnât wait to pull out his phone and send Isabella a message: âIsabella, what are you doing here? This is not a place for you.â
