Chapter 439
At the mention of Asher, Alice’s eyes burned with passionate love.
Bella was speechless for a moment. She really wanted to know what
Ash had done to this woman to make her so devoted.
He was truly the master of manipulation!
Outside.
Justin smoked three cigarettes in a row in the smoking area, but he still could not ease his
depressed feelings.
But seeing that the auction was about to start, all he could do was bring his heavy heart
with him into the hall.
Justin’s tall and somewhat forlorn figure walked in from the left side of the hallway.
Meanwhile, from the other end of the hallway, an elegant man walked
toward him.
The two stopped in front of the doors to the hall.
Sparks flew as their gazes clashed, an invisible current running
between them.

Justin-glared
Christopher pushed up his gold-framed glasses with a polite smile on
his lips. “What a coincidence, Mr. Salvador. Are you also here to
Chuppe
contribute to charity?”
Justin was calm as his lips slowly curled into a smile. “I’m not as charitable as you are. I
just want to do my part for her.”
There was no one else he could be referring to apart from Bella.
Christopher’s smile froze on his face as he secretly clenched his fist.
Tonight’s highlight, the charity auction, finally began.
There were two ways to take part in tonight’s auction. One was by donating something to
be auctioned off, and the other was to take
part in bidding.
All profits generated would be donated in full to the charity fund set
up by the state for charitable purposes. The whole process was to be
open and transparent. There was absolutely no room for any backroom dealing.
The charity event organized by Mint was already in its fifteenth year
this year, and everyone was speculating whether KS World Hotel’s
take would be the one that generated the most donations and
whether it would break records.
Justin and Christopher entered together, causing a commotion.
But tonight was Bella’s night. Out of consideration for her, they both
did not want to overshadow her, so keeping a low profile, they sat in
the last row as a high-quality backdrop.
Meanwhile, Bella still did not know Christopher had come too. She
and Alice sat in front, whispering to each other on occasion and

chatting incessantly.
When Zoe Hoffman, who sat quite a few meters away from them,
saw this, she was so angry she almost burst a vein.
The actual auction portion of the night began.

The emcee removed the red cloth covering the glass display, and the
first item to be auctioned was revealed.
“This item comes from the private collection of the chairman of
Iverson Group’s wife. It’s a necklace set with a total of five square-cut emerald diamonds!
Very rare, truly rare!”
Amazed gasps came from the crowd.
This was only the first lot, but it was already so valuable. It gave
Bella’s charity auction a lot of weight.
Bella could not help but be secretly shocked and hurriedly turned
around to look for Christopher’s figure.
Soon, she spotted his refined and handsome face in the corner.
Christopher spotted her shocked gaze right away and smiled slightly,
giving her a small wave.
Bella curled her red lips and waved at him too.
Little did they know, Justin saw their entire interaction.
Justin stared fixedly at Bella’s beautiful, smiling face, his throat
burning as the bidding paddle in his hand crumpled out of shape.
