Chapter 64 Dance Together
Sharon didn't show her emotions on her face, but her chest was heaving, indicating that she was quite upset.
Meanwhile, Leah seemed even more pleased, and she casually withdrew her gaze from Sharon to continue speaking into the microphone.
"For our final item today, we have the ownership of the land in the eastern part of the city, currently owned by Victory Estates. In addition to acquiring this property, the winning bidder will also have the opportunity to share a dance with me."
She flashed a faint smile at the audience below.
"Bidding begins at 50 million dollars!"
Although her smile was faint, the slight curve of it easily captured everyone's hearts.
The plot of land owned by Victory Estates in the eastern part of the city was a prime location, and whoever acquired it would surely make a huge profit out of it.
Furthermore, they would also have the chance to dance with the ethereal Leah.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such an auction item? Who wouldn't want to take a shot at it?
"55 million dollars."
"60 million dollars."
"70 million dollars."
The atmosphere among the crowd reached an unprecedented high.
Bids were placed one after another, and the entire venue bustled to life.
"100 million dollars."
An attractive voice echoed, and everyone turned their heads toward the source of it.
When they saw it was Quentin who placed the bid, some people lowered their heads and started gossiping in hushed voices.
"Didn't Mr. Worthington bid for the first two items earlier? Why is he bidding again for the last one? Could it be that he wants everything?"
"I guess he wants to dance with the beautiful lady on stage, right? After all, she's a rare beauty. Who could resist such a temptation?"
"That makes some sense. Even I, a woman, can't help but be captivated by Miss Wilson's beauty, let alone a man."
"With Mr. Worthington bidding, it seems that no one else in the venue stands a chance."
The murmurs of the crowd reached
Sharon's ears, She dug her nails into
her palm and then glanced at
Quentin. She forced a smile as she asked, "Quentin, are you also participating in the bidding because you want to dance with Miss Wilson? Although your past with Miss Wilson hasn't been very pleasant, she's so beautiful now and has such grace. It's only natural that you'd want to dance with her. I can understand."
Quentin turned to look at her, and when he spoke, his tone remained as calm and indifferent as usual.
"The development of the Worthington Group requires this piece of land. It has nothing to do with whether I want to dance with her or not."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Does that mean Quentin's participation in the bidding is solely for the land and had nothing to do with Leah?" Sharon thought.
Feeling somewhat relieved, she put on a smile again.
"I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Quentin simply responded with a "Hum".
Meanwhile, the bidding continued.
As the price escalated, except for Quentin, everyone else was feeling pressured while trying to keep up with the competition.
Leah observed the bidders below.
Everly
When making their bids, most them sneakily glanced at her, interested in the opportunity to
dance with her.
Back in her school days, there had been a long line of suitors chasing after her, and some had even fought fiercely for the chance to have dinner with her. én.swnovels.net
Thus, the situation at the auction didn't surprise her at all.
Leah casually swirled the champagne in her glass, and her eyes occasionally swept a glance downward to observe the bidding process.
Her demeanor remained serene and aloof, which only drove the crowd even crazier.
The bidding offers became increasingly exuberant.
Some who had initially considered giving up were now putting in their all, determined to win that item and get the chance to dance with Leah.
