Chapter 553


    Lance’s face was already looking quite grim at this point, and yet he couldn’t just back out easily.


    He had no choice but to keep bidding. “Seventy million!”


    Chloe raised her sign again, “Eighty million!”


    Finally, Keira’s friends couldn’t hold back anymore.


    “Hey, Chloe, aren’t you going a bit too far! You’re obviously targeting Keira, raising the price on


    purpose, aren’t you?”


    “Exactly! How can someone be so shameless?”


    Chloe didn’t even blink an eye, sitting calmly in her chair and retorting coldly. “It’s a charity auction.


    I’m willing to donate more money for charity. How does that trante to deliberately raising the


    price? In your eyes, Keira is some sort of goddess whose actions are always right, while everything


    anyone else does’is wrong. Even doing charity, if it gets in the way of your friend’s public disy of


    affection, makes one a viin, does it?”


    “You’re despicable!”


    Chloe smirked and nodded, “Despicable? Seems like in your eyes, charity really isn’t as important


    as your friend’s love disy. That’s a lesson learned today.”


    The actress turned beet red, ncing around to see a number of reporters pointing their cameras at


    her. She panicked and quickly sat


    down.


    What she didn’t realize though, was that just because of Chloe’s nonchnt words, she was


    doomed in the entertainment industry. Charity was a sensitive topic, and not many were genuinely


    willing to contribute. Even so, keeping up appearances was necessary. It was a topic that was


    easily criticized. To say that “charity isn’t as important as Keira’s public disy of love“, that was just


    asking for


    trouble!


    “Ny million!” Just as the atmosphere at the venue started to be awkward, Lance’s voice


    rose again.


    “Lance!” Not just others, even Keira looked at him, shocked and delighted!


    Lance put down his sign and turned to look at Chloe. But Chloe didn’t make a move!


    She raised an eyebrow slightly, a small smile ying on her lips, “Since Mr. Olson is so fond of this


    ring, I guess I’ll just have to let it go! I mean, I want to do charity, but one must live within one’s


    means, right? Ny million, well, I concede. I think we should all give a round of apuse for Mr.


    Olson’s generous donation to charity, to show our gratitude and admiration!”


    Chloe started pping, and the sound of apuse echoed throughout the venue. Jete, Kane,


    slowly, the entire venue was filled with enthusiastic apuse.

    Keira hadn’t quite recovered from the joy of victory when she began to feel that something was off.


    The joy on her face gradually faded. She turned to look at Lance, indeed, his handsome face was


    filled with gloom.


    If Chloe hadn’t participated in the bidding, Lance could have gotten the ring for a mere six million.


    Ny million, for a ring! Because of Chloe, he lost more than eighty million!


    Even though she had the ring in the end, the oue made her grind her teeth in hatred. The


    apuse in the venue was like a p in


    the face to Keira.


    yed by Chloe once again. Looking at Chloe, and seeing the smile at theer of her mouth,


    Keira felt like rushing up and pping


    her!
