The crowd stopped bidding.


    Be was overjoyed and satisfied with such a good start to the auction.


    “$7 million.


    A calm baritone voice spoke suddenly from behind.


    Be’s breath hitched, and the smile on her face suddenly faded.


    The crowd was shocked.


    Justin raised the paddle in his hand high into the air from thest Tow. His expression was cool and


    confident.


    “That’s Justin Salvador, the president of Salvador Corporation!”


    “OMG! When did he arrive? He appeared out of nowhere!”


    “He’s a lowkey person, but he sure is generous!”


    Justin did not lower the paddle. His burning gaze was fixed on Be, unable to look away.


    In the end, Be did not even look back.


    Seven million dors could not even get him a look from Be Thompson, the heiress of KS Group.


    It looked like he had to keep spending, then.


    “It’s overpriced to pay $7 million for that ne. One shouldn’t. spend money like that, even if he’s


    rich.” Alice shook her head in disgust at his action.


    “The more idiots like those there are, the more hope kids out in the impoverished areas have.” Be


    curled her red lips, already cursing. Jerkface Justin in her heart.


    “Congrattions, Mr. Salvador! Thank you for your support to charity!”


    The auctioneer banged his gavel, and the crowd apuded fiercely.


    When the camera was trained on Justin, he smiled perfunctorily.


    Meanwhile, Christopher, who was sitting not far from him, pushed his sses up with a finger, his gaze


    chilly.


    The auction proceeded smoothly.


    All the jewelry donated for the auction was bought at high prices. Shannon even bought one as a


    symbolic gesture.


    But what made Be incredibly unhappy was that whenever they encountered a piece of jewelry


    nobody bid on, Justin would deliberately bid higher than the asking price and buy it.


    In just a short hour, he had already bought three pieces of jewelry and spent more than $30 million!


    Be wore a frosty expression as she wished she could chase this bastard out of the hall.


    Right then, another not-so-valuable piece of jewelry was bought by Justin, and the crowd started


    discussing, as expected.


    “Is that piece worth $4 million? Mr. Salvador doesn’t have a discerning eye, does he?”


    “He’s handsome and rich, so it’s fine if he’s a little foolish. No one’s perfect!”


    “Foolish, my foot! Haven’t you guys noticed? Everything Mr. Salvador has bought isn’t valuable. Even if


    you’re picking at random, there’s no way you’d be able to avoid all the valuable pieces, is there? You


    can tell at a nce that he’s doing this on purpose!” Someone keenly noticed the pattern.


    The crowd was shocked. “That’s true! Then, do you mean…”


    “Mr. Salvador is buying the cheaper stuff to support Ms. Thompson and help create value for her


    auction. He’s trying to woo the beauty!”


    Zoe Hoffman watched as Justin, whom she longed for desperately, did everything he could to please


    Be Thompson. She was so angry that her eyes reddened. She was furious.


    She wished for Justin so dearly, yet he served himself up to Be on a silver tter. Yet still, Be


    ignored him. This extreme contrast made


    Zoe feel like she had suffered an unprecedented humiliation.


    The crowd seemed to nod vigorously, thinking it was reasonable.


    Justin could faintly make out what they were saying, and his lips. curled slightly.


    It looked like there were people who understood.


    It was just a shame that Be never nced back his way from beginning to end.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    His curled lips drooped back down slightly.


    “Ha. How boring.” Christopher scoffed, looking down on Justin’s actions.


    What was the use of throwing his money around? Did he think Be was like other shallow women who


    only had eyes for money?


    “Allow me to introduce the next lot!”


    The auctioneer’s voice was loud and clear as he pulled off the red cloth covering the ss disy in a


    sudden motion.


    An expertly cut teardrop-shaped white diamond ne was revealed to the crowd’s eyes. There


    were hundreds of tiny blue diamonds clustered around the white diamond. It was exquisitely chic and


    breathtaking!


    “This piece of jewelry was donated by Ms. Ada Wang and was designed by the top international jewelry


    designer, Ms. Alexa herself! Thank you, Ms. Ada Wang, for your generosity!”


    The moment that ne appeared on stage, Bethany’s face twisted in shock as she jolted upright in


    her seat.


    At that moment, Zoe’s expression also gradually stiffened as she inteced her fingers and clenched


    them so hard over each other that they turned red.
