Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Her Objective
Kyle Keaton’s entire attention was focused on July Quinn, so naturally, he didn’t miss the slight change in July Quinn’s expression when she saw that man.
This expression proved that they knew each other and had a deep relationship.
It was noticeably different from the acquaintance type she had with Justin Callahan, for whom she deliberately flirted for some reasons.
Displeasure and anger simultaneously gathered in Kyle Keaton’s heart.
Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the first hammer, Kyle Keaton shouted again, "Three hundred million!"
As soon as he said this, the entire room was once again stunned.
But another man seemed to be opposing Kyle Keaton.
As soon as Kyle Keaton’s voice dropped, he also raised his paddle, "Four hundred million."
Perhaps already shocked by the high bidding from these two, everyone else in the room didn’t know what expression to display.
Therefore, amidst the bewildered expressions of the crowd, this auction seemed to have become a competition arena for Kyle Keaton and the mysterious man in the baseball cap.
"Five hundred million."
"Six hundred million..."
In no time, Kyle Keaton had raised the price to, "One billion!"
The mysterious baseball cap man was about to raise his paddle again, but July Quinn angrily glared at him.
Although July Quinn knew he had money, she believed money should be spent wisely, not on a battle of egos.
Moreover, July Quinn believed that as long as Liam Monroe dared to bid endlessly, Kyle Keaton would definitely accompany to the end.
And Kyle Keaton was still her husband, even though July Quinn had signed the divorce agreement and would leave without taking a penny.
But subconsciously, spending Kyle Keaton’s money was still equivalent to spending her own.
If the bidding kept going on like this, she estimated she’d have several sleepless nights.
So, she must resolutely stop such reckless spending behavior!
Seemingly understanding July Quinn’s anger, the man in the baseball cap shrugged uninterestedly and put down the paddle in his hand.
The price war finally stopped, and naturally, the other side won this auction.
But when the auctioneer struck the third hammer, announcing the honor belonged to Kyle Keaton, Kyle was not happy at all.
It wasn’t that he was unhappy for spending too much money, but because he had just witnessed the interaction between July Quinn and that man...
Meanwhile, Holly Houston didn’t even know what kind of expression she had while congratulating July Quinn.
"Congratulations, Miss Quinn, for your contribution to this charity event."
With July Quinn’s stunning performance, plus the donation of one billion for charity, Holly Houston’s plan to make a mark at this charity auction was completely ruined.
Despite this, Holly Houston still had to suppress all her irritation and face it with a smile.
Because today, she arranged for July Quinn to go on stage not only to embarrass her, to make her a foil to Holly Houston, but also for a more important plan.
Now that the foil plan has completely failed, Holly Houston can only shift all her bets to the subsequent plan.
As she saw July Quinn taking a photo with the ten billion check props brought out by the props team and preparing to leave the stage, Holly Houston quickly spoke up, "Miss Quinn, please hold on."
Almost everyone was attracted by Holly Houston’s voice, including July Quinn.
After failing to provoke her, having her talent and face rubbed into the ground, what else did Holly Houston want?
"It’s like this, it’s rare to meet Miss Quinn here today, so I’d like to take this opportunity to invite Miss Quinn to participate in our company’s newly initiated ’Competition Dance’ program."
Holly gestured to the staff to send up the invitation she personally delivered to Wisteria TV, which July Quinn had previously declined.
Looking at July Quinn, she smiled brightly, but her eyes seemed to hide a snake flicking its tongue.
"This program intends to donate ten percent of its income to Hope Project. I believe someone as enthusiastic about charity as Miss Quinn would not refuse our program’s invitation."
She wanted to see how July Quinn would refuse her in front of so many people, with charity as the premise!
July Quinn’s beautiful eyes narrowed, "..."
So this was Holly Houston’s ultimate purpose for getting her on stage.
