Chapter 939


    “You can do whatever you want in front of me. There’s no need to apologize. You almost fell because


    you were being too nervous.”


    Spencer gave her a gentle look. “You’re still young, and it’s natural for you to meet some jerks in life.


    Since Mr. Shaw is already engaged, you did the right thing by drawing the line. It was a brave decision


    on your part.”


    Cassandra’s pupils constricted as she looked at Spencer in disbelief. Thetter subsequently tucked


    her hair behind her ear with an affectionate look in his eyes. “As long as you need me, I’m happy to be


    your servant.”


    Cassandra’s moistened eyes sparkled in surprise. Despite the simplicity of thement, the way


    Spencer said it gave it a domineering yet caring vibe.


    The strangebination somehow made her heart skip a beat.


    “N-No, it’s fine.”


    As Spencer continued to stare at her, Cassandra couldn’t help but blush. “Why are you looking at me


    like that?”


    “You look adorable.” Spencer enunciated every word.


    “That’s so cheesy!” Brows knitted, Cassandra pushed Spencer aside before walking toward the auction


    venue. Nheless, her ears were already burning red.


    Just as Cassandra arrived at the entrance, the elevator doors beside her opened and out came a well-


    heeled-middle-aged couple.


    “Spencer? Is that you?”


    When the coupled called out to Spencer in a trembling voice, Cassandra turned around by reflex.

    She then saw how the well-dressed couple’s eyes lit up in surprise at the sight of Spencer. She could


    tell from the shock and longing in their eyes that they hadn’t seen him in a long time.


    The middle-ageddy hurried up to Spencer’s side. “Spencer, how have you been? W-When will you


    come home?”


    Before her hand could make contact with Spencer, thetter avoided it and replied indifferently, “I’m


    sorry, Mrs. White. I’m busy.”


    With that, he grabbed Cassandra’s arm and headed inside.


    Cassandra was baffled by the turn of events.


    If I recall correctly, isn’t that Mr. and Mrs. White?


    The White family of Jadeborough was so influential that the prominent families in Lake City paled in


    comparison.


    Staring at Spencer’s leaving silhouette, Mavis suggested to Christian White in resignation, “Darling,


    let’s go in too.”


    Thetter let out a sigh. “It seems Spencer isn’t ready to ept me yet.”


    “He will… with time.” Just as Mavis spoke, she walked toward the venue with Christian.


    As the auction was about to begin, most of the guests were already seated.


    Dressed in a gown with a long train, Hera emerged with a microphone in hand as she smiled cordially


    at everyone present.


    After making her way onto the auction stage, she threw the cards in her hand a nce before looking


    back up at the crowd below.


    The moment she saw Ashlyn and Lucas seated together, the smile on her face froze awkwardly while


    her gaze subconsciously fell upon Ashlyn.


    Jolted by a sense of hostility, Ashlyn looked up to be greeted by the sight of Hera standing on stage.


    However, thetter quickly hid her emotions and maintained the elegant smile she was wearing. “I’m


    honored to be your host tonight for the charity auction. And now, let me introduce you to some of our


    distinguished guests. We have Lucas Nn of Nn Group, Old Mr. Laith of Magnecal Tech, award-


    winning actor, Jason Harris, Dixon Haddock of Haddock Group, Richard Shaw of Glorious Group,


    Winsor Jaquin of Jaquin Group……”


    As Hera was a member of the Chapman family, she frequented many of such events.


    As a result, she didn’t feel nervous despite it being her first time as a host.


    Speaking confidently and enunciating every word clearly, she was doing a great job so far.


    Subsequently, she exined the auction process before allowing her assistant to introduce all the


    items on the block.
