Chapter 545
Lance gave Keira a glance. Keira was biting her lip, blushing, and Lance couldn’t help but smile.
Serene watched Keira’s shy behavior, her eyes gleaming. She chuckled and said, “Sure, the main purpose of a charity event is to raise funds. But keeping the atmosphere alive is just as important. Tonight, we’ve got plenty of stars and entertainers bringing their A–game, and plenty of interaction. It’s a great chance to shine, Lance,”
With that, she winked at Lance with a mysterious expression.
Lance gave Serene a helpless look. She seemed to understand something and dramatically covered her mouth.
Keira, puzzled by their secret exchange, asked, “Are you two hiding something?”
Serene just giggled, her hand still over her mouth, her expression even more mysterious. Watching Serene’s antics, Keira felt a mix of anticipation and nerves. It seemed Lance might have another surprise up his sleeve tonight.
Before she had a chance to ponder further, the auctioneer took the stage and announced the start of the auction.
The first few items up for bid were just for show, placed by the organizers themselves to heat things up, not suitable for donated items.
Once two items had been auctioned off and the crowd was warmed up, the donated items started to go on sale.
Since it was for charity, Chloe wasn’t stingy. After two more items were sold, a piece of art came up for bid.
It was a vintage vase that caused a bit of a stir when it was brought out. Most of the people in attendance were young artists or rich kids, not overly interested in collectibles. But some were looking to impress their elders, so there were still some bids.
The starting bid was 1.8 million. Chloe seemed interested in the artwork and joined the bidding.
When Chloe bid 2 million, Keira instinctively raised her paddle.
“2.3
1
llion.
Her action caught everyone by surprise, especially Lance.
Keira, realizing what she’d done, seemed to be used to competing with Chloe. Feeling Lance’s look, Keira got flustered and quickly said, “Lance, your grandpa has always loved these kinds of antiques, right? It’s so rare to find something like this here. I want to buy it for him.”
Hearing this, Lance’s expression softened, his eyes full of tenderness.
“2.35 million.”
At this point, others started to bid too.
“2.38 million.”
This was just a normal competition, but when Chloe immediately raised the bid, Keira followed suit, which made Chloe uncomfortable. Chloe’s mood affected Damon, who started looking serious.
“2.4 million!”
Chloe continued to bid.
