With this short episode, Helena and Regina behaved quite silently.
They sat quietly in the audience. Occasionally they raised a sign to engage with the bidding, which was a way to show their presence.
But they wouldn't join the bid in the later round.
If they made an offer and no one competed with them, they would be screwed.
The Garn family now might be short of a million dollars of cash.
After the whole auction, the highest price was for the oil painting provided by Hilton.
The oil painting was about the creation of the world. It was from a very famous painter living in the Middle Ages.
Very few of his paintings survived now.
The painter suffered from mental issues. He sold out several paintings to maintain his living. During his remaining days, he burned the rest of his works.
