Chapter 194: Chapter 136 Charity Auction
Alayna looked around and found lissa sitting in the corner.
lissa was not with a man, but with a woman who looked familiar.
Alayna stared at Nina for a while, then she recognized her. She was Nina, the person in charge of Loe Studio.
When the Gibson Corporation was accused of plagiarism, Nina testified for lissa and defeated Marilyn.
What is lissa’s relationship with Nina?
Isn’t lissa a girl from the countryside? Why is she with Nina?
It looks like they are close.
Alayna was a little confused. She quietly sat down not far from lissa and Nina. She vaguely heard that lissa was going to attend a charity auction tomorrow.
Charity auction?
A light flashed in her eyes. Alayna quickly sent a text ssage to Adela, "Ms. Yale, lissa will be attending the charity auction held by Loe Studio tomorrow."
Adela quickly replied, "Prepare yourself."
After a few glasses of wine, lissa felt dizzy.
Nina took the wine from lissa’s hand. "Stop drinking. Co back with
and get so sleep."
"Okay." lissa rubbed her temples. She felt tired.
lissa stood up and walked to the entrance of the bar with Nina.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Alayna?
lissa frowned. Is it a coincidence? Or...
lissa stayed at Nina’s place that night. When she woke up, it was almost noon.
Rubbing her eyebrows, lissa saw the ssage Nina left her.
"I’m going to prepare for the charity dinner. There is breakfast in the kitchen. Help yourself. I will send you an email for the launch plan for the new product for the next season, you can check it when you are free. See you at night."
lissa felt a burst of warmth in her heart. What a good friend!
After breakfast, lissa looked at the proposal Nina sent her seriously and made a few suggestions.
The charity dinner tonight was held in a five-star hotel in Wyvernholt.
As the person in charge of the charity banquet, Nina went to the hotel early in the morning, and all was prepared.
lissa greeted Nina and sat down in a corner.
The charity auction was a public charity event held by Loe Studio, and many celebrities were invited.
Adela asked Declan to get an invitation to enter the auction hall.
She looked around in the auction hall and saw lissa sitting in the corner. Murray was not there.
It seed that Murray did not like lissa very much. Otherwise, lissa wouldn’t have run out in the middle of the night and co to the charity auction alone.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Adela’s eyes.
lissa, I’ll make you a joke tonight.
At 8:00 PM, the auction officially began.
The host said, "Welco to the charity auction hosted by Loe Studio tonight. We will donate all the auction inco to charity. Thank you for your support!
"Tonight, we have ten items, all donated by Loe Studio. I hope we can find the fated person."
Applause rang out and the host announced, "The auction officially begins."
"The first item to be auctioned is a porcelain bowl from 500 years ago. Please, bring it up!"
The hostess walked to the center of the stage with elegant steps, holding a delicate tray in both hands. The host uncovered the red cloth on the tray. A blue porcelain bowl appeared.
"The starting price is 80 thousand dollars. Each increase must not be less than 8 thousand. The bidding starts!"
lissa looked up at the porcelain bowl. She got it from her grandfather.
She had too many antiques at ho. They had no place to store them. Selling them at the auction and donating the money to charity was a good choice.
Very quickly, soone bought it for 320 thousand dollars.
The second item to be auctioned was a fluffy cat toy.
"This cat is very cute, isn’t it?" The host introduced, "Don’t underestimate it. It is made by Loe, the world-renowned designer. The eyes of the cat are inlaid with diamonds. It’s very valuable."
Soone below whispered, "Made by Loe? It’s indeed valuable."
"That’s quite expensive. I wonder who will buy it in the end."
This cat was personally sewn by lissa and lissa liked it quite a bit. She planned to take it back.
The host’s voice sounded again, "This cat has a starting price of 160 thousand. Each increase must be no less than 160 thousand. Now, we can start the bidding."
As soon as the host finished speaking, soone quickly raised his card. "192 thousand.!"
"240 thousand!"
"320 thousand!"
...
The price continued to rise and eventually reached 800 thousand.
"Now the price is 800 thousand. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?" The host’s loud and clear voice rang out.
lissa raised her hand, and said, "2 million."
The host raised his voice a little, "This young lady bids 2 million. Is there anyone else..."
Before the host could finish speaking, Adela raised her card high, "2.2 million!"
Adela glared at lissa. She didn’t want the cat, but since lissa liked it, she had to snatch it!
Receiving Adela’s provocative gaze, lissa smiled faintly and raised her card again, "2.5 million."
2.5 million!
Adela looked at lissa with disdain.
Where did this village girl get so much money? She must have gotten it from so guys.
From Murray!
Adela looked around but she did not see Murray.
Adela stood up, walked to lissa, looked down at her, and said sarcastically, "lissa, does Murray know that you spent so much money to buy a cat toy?"
lissa looked at Adela like she was looking at an idiot. "It’s none of your business, Ms. Yale."
"So he doesn’t know?" Adela smiled coldly. "Even if you win the bid, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if you don’t have the money to pay?"
"Ms. Yale, don’t worry." lissa smiled lightly and took out a black card, waving it in front of Adela.
I don’t have the money to buy it? What a joke!
Adela suddenly rembered that lissa had snatched the Ailsa dress in Red shop with this card.
Adela was furious. She must get the cat toy.
Thus, she raised her paddle again. "4 million!"
