Chapter 201 The Auction Begins.
One of the men said, “This is your house? Isn’t it written right here? Auction–everything inside, including the house, is going under the hammer today,”
Nathan was stunned. “When did I ever say I was auctioning it off?”
“Sorry to disappoint, but I’m the one who said so.”
Not far away, by the car, Eliza and Nolan had already stepped out.
When Nathan saw Eliza, his face immediately darkened. “You? Who gave you the right to auction off my home?!”
“All your assets are in my name now. What I do with them is entirely up to me,” Eliza replied, puzzled. “Why? Mr. Nathan, you just sold the company to me and already forgot? That doesn’t sound right.”
“I only just sold it to you, and yet you–how did you organize an auction this fast?!”
There was still a lot of his personal property inside.
Nathan hadn’t expected Eliza to be this ruthless–not leaving him even a sliver of dignity.
“How can you say that, Mr. Nathan? The contract is right here in my hands. The auction is completely above board. Or… were you planning to sneak back and take your things out without telling anyone? That’s a bit disrespectful to me, don’t you think?”
Eliza had anticipated this move from the start.
This whole family was selfish and shameless. She wouldn’t put anything past them. To make sure they never had a chance to bounce back, she had to plan ahead.
And now, it was clear her instincts were right–they had indeed come back to take things.
So they couldn’t blame her for being merciless.
Not a single item in this house would be left to them today.
The auction had already begun.
Many people were bidding on the villa.
This was Nathan’s favorite house. He had planned to give it to Naomi as a wedding gift.
Now, it was slipping through his fingers.
Very quickly, the bidding rang out from the assistants:
“Twenty–five million.”
“Thirty million.”
1/3
“Thirty–five million.”
Voices called out bids one after another.
Nathan’s face twitched with every number.
He had bought the house for forty million back then. With property prices surging, it was definitely worth
even more now.
In the end, the house sold for sixty–five million.
But not a single cent would go into Nathan’s pocket.
“That’s my necklace! My precious necklace!”
Evelyn suddenly cried out.
Someone had just brought out a diamond necklace from her bedroom. The massive diamond sparkled brilliantly–it was a wedding gift from Nathan, and he had spent a fortune on it.
She’d never even worn it.
And now, Eliza was putting it up for auction.
The thought alone made Evelyn feel like her flesh was being torn apart.
“Eight million!”
“Eight–point–five!”
“Nine million!”
Watching her necklace get sold for nine million, Evelyn was desperate. She tried to rush forward and take it back. “That’s mine! My necklace! You can’t take that!”
She charged forward but was immediately blocked by the security at the door.
Eliza stood nearby, watching Evelyn’s pathetic state, the corners of her mouth lifting into a cold smirk.
When she saw the necklace handed off to someone else, Evelyn collapsed to the floor in fury.
“No need to rush, Mrs. Nathan,” Eliza said casually. “There’s still plenty more to auction off today. You might as well stay and enjoy the show.”
The rest of the items included Evelyn’s jewelry, Nathan’s prized collections, and Naomi’s accessories.
Seeing all of it being dragged out, the three of them turned pale.
At this rate, by the end of the day, the Rivers family would be completely stripped bare.

Finished
Realizing this, Evelyn scrambled forward and clutched Eliza’s arm. “Eliza, that’s enough! You don’t have to do this! Do you really want to see us lose everything? How could you be so heartless?!”
“She’s right! We know we were wrong, okay? Just give our things back!” Naomi added, panicking.
Eliza remained unmoved. “This? This is just the beginning. Everything in this house will be brought out and sold off. There’ll be three days of back–to–back auctions. I promise–the Rivers family’s belongings will be picked clean. Not a single scrap will be left for you.”
Evelyn looked as though she’d been struck by lightning. “Eliza! Are you even human?! Our family raised you! Is this how you repay us? You’re worse than an animal!”
She lunged at Eliza, trying to scratch her face, but she couldn’t even get close.
Eliza let out a cold laugh. “Your family raised me? Don’t be ridiculous. The Rivers family was meant to be passed down to my mother by my grandfather. But what did you do? After killing my mother, you stole the company. Everything you have now should’ve been mine.”
