At the mention of Asher, Alice’s eyes burned with passionate love.


    Be was speechless for a moment. She really wanted to know what


    Ash had done to this woman to make her so devoted.


    He was truly the master of maniption!


    Outside.


    Justin smoked three cigarettes in a row in the smoking area, but he still could not ease his depressed


    feelings.


    But seeing that the auction was about to start, all he could do was bring his heavy heart with him into


    the hall.


    Justin’s tall and somewhat forlorn figure walked in from the left side of the hallway.

    Meanwhile, from the other end of the hallway, an elegant man walked toward him.


    The two stopped in front of the doors to the hall.


    Sparks flew as their gazes shed, an invisible current running between them.


    Justin red at Christopher Iverson coldly.


    Justin-red


    Christopher pushed up his gold-framed sses with a polite smile on his lips. “What a coincidence, Mr.


    Salvador. Are you also here to contribute to charity?”


    Justin was calm as his lips slowly curled into a smile. “I’m not as charitable as you are. I just want to do


    my part for her.”


    There was no one else he could be referring to apart from Be.


    Christopher’s smile froze on his face as he secretly clenched his fist.


    Tonight’s highlight, the charity auction, finally began.


    There were two ways to take part in tonight’s auction. One was by donating something to be auctioned


    off, and the other was to take part in bidding.


    All profits generated would be donated in full to the charity fund set up by the state for charitable


    purposes. The whole process was to be open and transparent. There was absolutely no room for any


    backroom dealing.


    The charity event organized by Mint was already in its fifteenth year this year, and everyone was


    specting whether KS World Hotel’s take would be the one that generated the most donations and


    whether it would break records.


    Justin and Christopher entered together, causing amotion.


    But tonight was Be’s night. Out of consideration for her, they both did not want to overshadow her, so


    keeping a low profile, they sat in thest row as a high-quality backdrop.


    Meanwhile, Be still did not know Christopher hade too. She and Alice sat in front, whispering to


    each other on asion and chatting incessantly.


    When Zoe Hoffman, who sat quite a few meters away from them, saw this, she was so angry she


    almost burst a vein.


    The actual auction portion of the night began.


    The emcee removed the red cloth covering the ss disy, and the first item to be auctioned was


    revealed.


    “This itemes from the private collection of the chairman of


    Iverson Group’s wife. It’s a ne set with a total of five square-cut emerald diamonds! Very rare,


    truly rare!”


    Amazed gasps came from the crowd.


    This was only the first lot, but it was already so valuable. It gave


    Be’s charity auction a lot of weight.


    Be could not help but be secretly shocked and hurriedly turned around to look for Christopher’s


    figure.


    Soon, she spotted his refined and handsome face in the corner.


    Christopher spotted her shocked gaze right away and smiled slightly, giving her a small wave.


    Be curled her red lips and waved at him too.


    Little did they know, Justin saw their entire interaction.


    Justin stared fixedly at Be’s beautiful, smiling face, his throat burning as the bidding paddle in his


    hand crumpled out of shape.
