Chapter 2307
There was no lively scene to watch anymore, and everyone withdrew their gaze. Snow stared at Nicole in disbelief.
Although she was determined to win, she felt no satisfaction in winning when she saw Nicole's expression.
"Miss, this is the peace buckle you bid for. Please settle the account backstage after the event. Thank you for your
contribution to the charity.” The hostess politely reminded Snow before leaving.
Staring at the jade peace buckle, Snow felt like she had just woken up from a dream. How could she lose her sanity
like that? She bid 3 million dollars, but her father had only given her a budget of 2 million dollars. How was she
going to deal with the extra 1 million dollars?
Finally regaining her composure, Snow's face turned pale, showing a look of despair.
"Next, we will present another charity auction item..."
The charity event continued, but Snow could not focus on anything anymore. Her eyes were fixed on the peace
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbuckle, and she was lost in her thoughts.
Finally, the event ended, and the guests began to leave one after another, settling the accounts for the items they
had bid on.
Nicole and Jared settled the account for the necklace and returned to their seats. They found Snow still sitting there
in a daze, and a smirk appeared on Nicole's lips.
"Did you expect that she didn't have enough money to settle the account?" Lawrence's voice sounded in Nicole's
ear.
She turned to look at him with a smile. "You're still here?"
"While I didn't win anything, I did make a donation," Lawrence replied, indicating that he had just come backstage.
"Oh, you're leaving now," Nicole said, not asking further.
"Yeah," Lawrence said as he prepared to leave as well.
Though Nicole did not answer his question, based on his understanding of Nicole, he knew that there must be a
reason behind her giving up on the auction. Snow had probably fallen into Nicole's trap, and Nicole's decision to
give up must be related to that.
Now, looking at Snow's lost expression, Lawrence thought he had probably guessed correctly.
"Let's go home," Jared said, not liking Nicole's casual way of speaking with Lawrence. He took Nicole's hand and the
pair left together.
Lawrence's face darkened as he watched them leave.
With everyone gone, including Harvey, Snow was still sitting in her seat, unable to go backstage to settle the
account.
"Miss, the backstage is waiting for you to settle the account. Besides, the venue has been cleaned up, and they're
about to close for the night," the hostess reminded Snow.
Snow's face turned even paler, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I know."
The hostess saw that Snow responded but was still not moving, so she could not help but ask, "Miss, do you not like
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe peace buckle? If you really do not like it, you can abandon the bid."
Snow took a deep breath and stood up, saying, "I'll go settle the account now."
She could not possibly abandon the bid. That would make her the laughingstock of all of San Joto. If she bid for an
item at a charity auction and then abandoned it, it would be like telling everyone that she regretted it because she
could not afford it.
Even if she would get scolded by her father, she had to take the peace buckle home.
Helpless, Snow made a call while walking, asking Dillon to transfer the money to her.
After getting scolded, Snow ultimately got the money and left with the peace buckle.
Outside, she looked at the dim night sky, clenching her teeth in anger.
After coming to her senses, Snow realized she had been fooled by Nicole. She had lost three million dollars, and just
thinking about it made her blood boil. If she had not been impulsive at that moment, she would not have suffered
such a big loss.
Now, even Harvey had abandoned her, leaving her feeling like she had lost everything.
