Chapter 685
Soon, it was the day of the auction. Because they had invited many wealthy businessmen and celebrities, they did not broadcast it directly but recorded it.
Many people came today. Some of them were invited by the production team, and some were here on account of Louis.
Sharon stood elegantly beside Louis. Wearing a high–end custom dress, she smiled and nodded at the guests. She looked very stylish.
Occasionally, she would give Kelly a smug and provocative gaze.
“Crazy!” Kelly ignored her and turned around to sit quietly in her seat.
Seeing this, Sharon sneered and thought, ‘Kelly, I’ll let you be happy for one last day. Soon, you won’t be happy anymore.
Just as everyone sat down quietly and waited for the auction to begin, there was a sudden commotion at the door, then someone exclaimed.
“Silas Phil, he is Mr. Phil from Hegtig Entertainment Company!”
“Oh my God, why is he here?”
Silas was a direct descendant of the Phil family. Hegtig Entertainment Company was one of the top companies in the entertainment industry. He was an outstanding and capable man.
“Are you stupid?” The person beside them reprimanded in a low voice, “Silas is Louis’s uncle. He should be here for Louis this time.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot.”
Silas was less than 40 years old. However, his temperament was steady. He had a calm and tolerant aura that made people feel at ease.
Silas’s eyes were very beautiful. They were the kind of curved big eyes that looked like a smile. However, when he really smiled, it was like flowers blooming. He was extremely charming and handsome, which attracted others.
Even Kelly, who was used to Ian’s handsomeness, could not help but be stunned for a moment.
It was really only for a moment.
However, Ian was angry. He glanced at her with his cold eyes several times.
Kelly was so frightened that she quickly sat up straight. Then, she pursed her lips and deliberately said, “It’s ordinary. It’s far inferior to Ian.”
Hearing this, Ian snorted coldly. He thought, “This girl is tactful!‘
Silas was led to the VIP seat.
Louis was about to sit beside him with Sharon.
Silas narrowed his eyes and said, “Louis, you want to sit here?”
Louis was stunned suddenly.
Silas frowned and said, “If you sit with me, the camera will film me. Go sit with the other guests.”
Only then did Louis react. He secretly blamed himself for not thinking things through.
He quickly brought Sharon to another seat.
The auction officially began.
The first auction item was prepared by a veteran celebrity. Everyone present showed their respect and finally bought it for forty–six thousand dollars.
Then, the second goods were auctioned for a high price of one hundred and four thousand dollars.
The remaining two sets were both worth about thirty thousand dollars.
Originally, the next auction item should be Kelly’s. However, Louis wanted to bring out a great atmosphere to make Silas even angrier at Kelly, so he put Kelly’s auction item to the last one.
Sharon had prepared a piece of painting that she had drawn herself. Louis had
arranged for someone to purchase it and it had cost two hundred and fifty–six thousand dollars.
When this number was announced, the production team was shocked.
“Louis really dotes on Sharon.”
“It’s true love.”
“Sharon is really lucky.”
“Alright, alright, stop talking. Hurry up and film the last set of materials. If there’s a big change later, we might not be able to film it!” The director said, making everyone focus.
He knew some inside information and knew that Louis was going to teach Kelly a lesson. Although he did not know the exact reason, Kelly was definitely in trouble today.
Thinking of this, the director sighed and felt a little regretful.
The popularity of Kelly and Ian had increased the viewership ratings of the show. If not for the fact that Louis was very powerful, the director really did not want to abandon Kelly.
Louis’s assistant sensed the director’s emotions and warned coldly, “Don’t interfere.”
The director was not satisfied and wanted to persuade him. “Can you let Kelly stay for a few more days? She brings good viewership ratings. The love between Ian and her is so popular.”
“Shut up,” the assistant said coldly. “They are just ordinary people. As long as Louis wants, Louis could find another one immediately.”
The director didn’t say anything, but he was unhappy in his heart.
He thought to himself, ‘These big shots really think too simply of the entertainment industry. To become an ordinary star, one needs the support of others, and to become a big star, one needs luck! If Louis is really so powerful, why couldn’t Sharon become famous?‘
The auction had already begun to auction Kelly’s item. It was a simple autographed photo.
The host racked his brains to introduce it. After saying a few words, he impatiently set the starting price. “The starting price is two thousand dollars!”
“Do any of the honored guests present have a bid?”
Ian felt that adding it bit by bit was too troublesome and raised his card. “Two hundred thousand dollars.”
This person was stupid and rich? Two hundred thousand dollars! Why did he buy an autographed photo? He couldn’t even do it in the name of charity.
Louis frowned slightly and looked at Silas. He thought, ‘Could it be Silas’s idea? I did not expect Silas to dote on Kelly so much!‘
Louis’s eyes narrowed. He thought to himself, ‘Now that things have come to this, it is absolutely impossible to stop. I have to teach Kelly a lesson!”
Louis made a gesture.
Evan, who was sitting beside Silas, saw this and immediately said to Silas, “Young’s love is so keen.”
Silas ignored him.
Evan continued to say, “Mr. Phil, have you seen Twitter’s trending topic? Kelly and Ian are especially popular now. A handsome man and a beautiful woman. Their fans are almost crazy.”
Silas didn’t think much of it and he said, “It’s just hype.”
Evan shook his head. “It must be true. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to hype it up.”
This time, Silas didn’t say anything.
Evan nodded at Louis after completing his mission.
Louis smiled slightly.
Louis knew that no man in the world could accept rumors between his woman and another man, even if it was just hype.
His gaze darkened! ‘Let’s wait and see!‘ he thought.
The people arranged began to raise the price. Someone joined in. “Two hundred and forty thousand dollars!”
Ian frowned and continued to raise his card. “Six hundred thousand dollars!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
There was a burst of exclamations.
It was not that they could not afford the money, but they felt that it was not worth it.
“Six hundred and eighty thousand dollars!”
Ian raised his card. “1 million dollars.”
Just like that, with the intervention of Louis, Ian bid 2 million dollars!
A lot of money! The scene was silent for a moment.
Even the people arranged by Louis did not know what to do and he thought, ‘Should I continue to raise the price?‘
Louis shook his head and gestured to the people arranged by him.
In the end, Kelly’s autographed photo was bought by lan for 2 million dollars!
The host made the final decision.
Everyone was stunned for a long time.
Just as they were in a daze, pleasant music suddenly sounded. Then, the screen changed. The big screen was filled with photos of Kelly.
Someone pushed a large cake onto the stage from backstage.
At the same time, the big screen began to show fireworks and some words, it read, [Happy Birthday, Miss Kelly!]
So romantic!
Who prepared it?
Everyone turned their gazes to Ian.
Ian’s face was cold. Today was indeed Kelly’s birthday. He had also prepared a birthday banquet, but he had never thought of celebrating it here.
He thought, ‘Who did this?‘
Ian was unhappy.
At this moment, the production team cheered, “Kelly, come up quickly. This is prepared for you by Ian.”
Kelly was shocked and she thought, ‘Even Ian could be so romantic?‘
Ian suddenly understood. He thought, ‘I know. Kelly has communicated with the production team. She prepares it herself, and they say it is prepared by me.
“This girl is really shameless. If she wants to celebrate her birthday, she could tell me. Why did she have to do this?‘
Despite his thoughts, Ian could not control the smile on his face. He held Kelly’s hand and walked to the front of the stage.
Louis watched this scene with a cold smile. He gestured for the production team to stop the filming and walked to Silas.
