I attended a private auction with my Uncle Jack. Little did I know that the items up for bid were intimate photos of Bella, the girl everyone thought was the real heiress. Uncle Jack urged me to place a bid. But just then, I received a text message: “If you dare to bid, I’ll reveal your secret.” In that moment of hesitation, a man swooped in and won the bid for Bella’s private photos. I thought Uncle Jack would be angry with me, but to my surprise, he suddenly chartered a yacht, saying he wanted to celebrate my 20th birthday. He boasted that he’d give me an unforgettable surprise! But I never imagined that on the yacht, in front of everyone, he would display photos of me from when I was trafficked. Uncle Jack stood behind Bella, coldly addressing me, “You didn’t want to bid on others’ photos, so how about yours? Let’s see if you’ll bid on yourself.” I stumbled backward in disbelief. The screen displayed a series of degrading photos. In them, I was filthy, living in a pigsty, my eyes lifeless. Today’s attendees were all from high society – wealthy heirs and heiresses. They sneered at me, “We always knew this so-called ‘real heiress’ was trash, but we didn’t expect her to be this dirty, like a filthy pig.” “Holy shit, there are even photos of her in bed with old men!” I instantly recalled a terrifying scene from years ago, shuddering uncontrollably. Instinctively, I searched for Uncle Jack, but he was busy chatting with Bella, not sparing me a glance. Yet it was he who had once offered me a helping hand. Now, he was pushing me back into hell. Suddenly, Bella spoke up, “Everyone, please stop. My sister must be so upset.” She then playfully tugged on Uncle Jack’s ear, as if scolding him. Everyone watched this scene curiously. After all, Jack wasn’t just some rich kid, but a real business tycoon. Jack didn’t disappoint. He affectionately patted Bella’s head. The next moment, he slowly swept his cold gaze over me, landing on the large screen behind him. “Tonight, everyone enjoy yourselves. Consider this Bella’s 20th birthday celebration.” So that’s why Uncle Jack said he wanted to celebrate my birthday early. It was just a ruse; he only wanted to celebrate Bella’s birthday. After a pause, Jack glanced at me again, “Those photos were my first big gift to Bella. I’ve decided to auction these photos to all of you, and the proceeds will go to Bella to do as she pleases.” Bella tugged on Jack’s sleeve before continuing, “My sister was trafficked into the mountains before. I think the children there are so pitiful. I’ve decided to donate all the auction money to those children.” Jack smiled slightly and led the applause. The applause echoed throughout the room, each clap feeling like an invisible slap to my face. Everyone looked at me as if I were merchandise for sale. I excused myself to use the restroom, my body trembling as I entered. But when I came out, several people were already bidding on my photos. “This one’s not bad, she looks like a dog. Do you think if I gave her some food back then, Lily would have knelt like a bitch?” The man who said this made an obscene gesture. The men in the room burst into laughter. Jack frowned and immediately covered Bella’s eyes. “Bella, you’re still young. Don’t look, it might taint your eyes.” But had Jack forgotten that I was actually a year younger than Bella? It was just that when I first came back, Bella insisted on calling me sister, so the family defaulted to me being the older one.
Seeing me return, people mocked even louder. The next moment, a waiter looked at me disdainfully, “Miss Lily, while you were away, several gentlemen have already placed bids. The current highest bid is two million. Are you in or out?” I looked at the big screen. This photo was of me fighting with pigs for food. Because I refused to submit, that family starved me. After Uncle Jack brought me back, he once cried in front of me, vowing never to let me suffer again. I closed my eyes, swallowing the tears in my heart, and said hoarsely, “I’ll place a bid.” As soon as I finished speaking, Jack laughed coldly, “Lily, when it’s your turn, you’re not selfish anymore?” “Since you want to bid, let’s add a few videos to the mix.” Instantly, the big screen displayed a video. I watched in horror as the scene unfolded. It was a shadow I never wanted to touch in my life. In the video, I was pinned down by two men, with another man violating me. I was screaming in pain, like a lone beast fighting alone. I was so scared that I fell to my knees, hugging my head and shaking. Jack reflexively took a step towards me but was quickly pulled back by Bella. “Uncle, don’t provoke my sister anymore. She seems to be having an episode. Although my sister doesn’t like me, and even caused… that incident, I believe she didn’t mean to.” Jack immediately stopped in his tracks, as if awakening from a trance. “She deserves it.” I slowly raised my head and looked at Jack again. He clearly knew I had depression, yet he still chose to provoke me like this. The waiter ignored me and smiled at the crowd again, “Next is the second photo, a full-body nude. Starting bid is 5.2 million.” I looked at the image on the screen in horror. How did Jack have this photo? He had ordered these photos deleted when he rescued me. But Bella’s words instantly solved my confusion. “Uncle, I just wanted to see some photos of my sister in the mountains, and you actually spent a whole week recovering these high-resolution images. I don’t know what to say.” Jack still hugged Bella affectionately, “Bella, I’ll give you anything you want.” The young ladies present looked at this scene with envy or jealousy. “You had these photos recovered?” Jack just smirked, his eyes filled with amusement. “Just because I didn’t bid on Bella’s photo?” Jack only reacted when he heard this name. His sharp gaze cut into my heart like a knife. I watched bitterly as Jack turned to hold Bella’s hand tenderly. That big hand once firmly held mine as we crossed mountain after mountain. I always thought he was my real uncle. Until that night when I turned eighteen, he burst into my room. After that wild night, I realized he had no blood relation to me. But after that night, he never mentioned it again. He gradually became indifferent towards me.
I spoke up again, interrupting this seemingly warm but actually filthy and hypocritical scene. “I’ll place a bid.” But this time, these men shouted at me like crazy beasts, “Are you fucking kidding? We let you have the last one, but you can’t have this one. I want to take it back for some fun!” The men exchanged knowing glances, revealing creepy smiles. “Yeah, I gotta say, Lily’s got a nice body. You can really see it when she’s naked. I’m getting excited just looking at it.” These insulting jokes made me feel like I was back in those nightmarish years. But this time, Jack silently allowed it all to happen. “Come on, guys, bid higher. You’re adding pennies at a time. My Bella is getting anxious.” Jack held Bella’s waist, his eyes filled with enough affection to drown everyone present. Bella turned and buried herself in Jack’s arms, playfully patting his chest, “Uncle, you’re always teasing me. I just feel bad for my sister bidding. She doesn’t have money of her own, just the allowance the family gives her.” I suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Jack frowned and sneered, “I almost forgot. Lily, you just returned to the family, but everyone gave you a million dollars. No wonder you’re so reckless.” He then coldly froze all my bank cards in front of everyone. “Since you want to bid on yourself, use your own money.” Everyone knew I grew up in the countryside and was a useless bumpkin, even after returning to the family! “Looks like Mr. Cold is really angry. He used to protect Lily so much, spoiling her to the core.” “Who would have thought that after a few years, Bella would be the spoiled one.” “It’s all Lily’s fault. Even though Bella isn’t her real sister, she shouldn’t have let other men buy Bella’s private photos.” The woman who spoke was immediately glared at by those around her, reminding her that Jack was still on stage. “I’ll place a bid.” I said again in a hoarse voice. “This woman’s got guts. She doesn’t think Mr. Cold will still cover for her, does she?” “You never know, what if she has private assets?” Bella tugged on Jack’s sleeve, pretending to be innocent, “Uncle, didn’t you give my sister a lot of money before? Is she planning to use that money to bid? But that sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it?” I thought Jack would immediately demand that money back. But he just remained silent, lost in thought. I won this photo again. But the next set of photos terrified me even more. This photo showed me lying on a dirty little bed covered in blood, with a baby sleeping next to me. I immediately went crazy, rushing up to punch the big screen. This was an indelible pain in my heart. Those bastards ruined my life! “This photo is even more intense. Who knew Lily had a child out of wedlock?” “She actually had a bastard child with an old man in the mountains. Lily is such a slut. No wonder Mr. Cold ignores her. He probably thinks she’s too dirty.” I turned to look at Jack with trembling lips. Was he treating me like this because he thought I was dirty?
Jack looked at me without emotion and walked towards me, letting go of Bella’s hand. But he asked me to hand over the black card he had given me before. “I’ve decided to give that black card to Bella as a gift.” Before I could speak, he signaled with his eyes, and the next moment, a waiter searched me in front of everyone on the ship and handed the cards I was carrying to Jack. Jack held up two cards and looked at them, saying flatly, “They’re dirty. Destroy them.” He then walked back to Bella, taking out a brand new card from his pocket and handing it to her. “I wouldn’t let Bella use something dirty that someone else has used.” Instantly, my heart felt as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows. I could barely stand, swaying as I stood at the stern of the ship. The waiter’s voice rang out again, enjoying the show, “This photo’s bidding price is 3 million. Additionally, the winner can specify one thing for the person in the photo to do.” With these words, the whole place erupted. Those men with green eyes in their sockets looked like they wanted to strip me naked with their gazes! “So, can we make Lily perform a striptease right here?” Unexpectedly, Jack sneered, his words seeming to nail me to a pillar of shame, “It’s not like she hasn’t done it before.” “Damn, who knew Lily was such a wild one under that country bumpkin appearance. Did she learn all this while servicing people in the mountains?” I had indeed danced for Jack before. It was his birthday, and I didn’t know it was called a striptease. I only knew that if I danced, those people wouldn’t beat me and might even give me food. But after I danced for Jack that time, he was so heartbroken he almost punched himself. He solemnly told me, “You must never dance in front of anyone again.” I remembered, but he forgot! When I came back to my senses, the bidding price had already reached 5 million. “Uncle, look how upset my sister is. She’s about to cry but can’t. She probably has no money left. Why don’t we call it off? I really can’t bear to see this.” “Bella, I know you’re kind-hearted, but your kindness towards enemies is hurting yourself.” Jack brought his business tactics to educate Bella, as if I were some unforgivable villain. I could barely control my swaying body. So in Jack’s heart, I had already been classified as an enemy? “Alright, Mr. Huang’s highest bid is now 5 million. Is there anyone else? 5 million once, 5 million twice, then…” I directly interrupted, my heart as dead as ashes, uttering three words, “I’ll place a bid.” But now everyone knew I had no money left. They didn’t buy it, “Lily, you country bumpkin, do you know the rules? If you bid without money, you’re disrupting order. You’ll not only go bankrupt but also have to compensate everyone present.” Another sneer was heard, “Why are you explaining to her? This idiot wouldn’t understand. Besides, talking about bankruptcy, I think she’s already bankrupt now, isn’t she?” But I ignored their words and insisted on speaking again: “I’ll place a bid.” Seeing my stubborn appearance, Jack felt a surge of anger in his chest, “Don’t let her fool you. How about this, whoever wins the bid, I’ll throw in several sets of exclusive premium photoshoots.” The next moment, he snapped his fingers, and the screen displayed various nude photos of me, some in a dark basement, some in fields, and some even in pigsties. People got more excited with their bids, quickly reaching 10 million. But at this moment, Jack suddenly spoke up to bid, “13.14 million.”
