“First of all, I’d like to wee you all to the auction. Every profit made today will be used for charity. I


    sincerely thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this auction.”


    The emcee’s opening remarks caused a round of apuse from the audience.


    “Before the auction begins, I’d Like to introduce someone to you all.


    This person is none other than Loraine Torres!” The emcee gestured towards Loraine, who was seated


    amidst the rest of the audience. The beam light was cast on her at this time.


    “Most of the donated items to be auctioned today are from Miss Torres. Let’s give this Lady a round of


    apuse for her kindness!”


    A sea of eyes were focused on Loraine. The next second, there was another round of apuse from all


    corners of the hall.


    Loraine nodded and smiled politely.

    “Miss Torres, is there anything you would like to share with us? The floor is yours!”


    Now that she had been called upon out of the blue, Loraine didn’t panic.


    She stood up gracefully and faced the crowd. Afterward, she said, “The items I donated are just worldly


    possessions. Donating them was for the greater good. I just did my part in contributing to make the


    world a better ce.”


    The grace and humility Loraine exuded now made the guests admire her.


    “Is this graceful woman Marco Bryant’s ex-wife? She doesn’t seem to be a country bumpkin like the


    rumors insinuate.”


    “Yeah, that’s right. She’s far too elegant to be such. I heard that she’s currently a senior director at


    Universe Group. Not too long ago, she won a big contract from the government. It’s said that the top


    official who came to supervise the project showered her with praise.”


    “The most important thing is that she is so kind that she donated so many valuable things. The world


    needs more people Like her.”


    Most of the distinguished guests praised Loraine as they watched her speak.


    On the flip side, Marco wasn’t particrly pleased. He felt that


    Loraine was indirectly taking jabs at him.


    She tagged the gifts as worldly possessions. At the thought of how she didn’t hesitate to give those


    items away, his heart ached and his face darkened.


    Once Loraine sat down, he leaned over and whispered with resentment,


    “Are you using my money to gain a good reputation while satirizing me indirectly?”


    Loraine rolled her eyes at him.


    “And is that my fault? You deserve it! I never asked for those items.


    Besides, I tried to return them, but you already instructed the deliveryman to throw them away if I


    turned them down. I had to donate them instead of being wasteful. Do you want them back? If you do,


    just ce the highest bid during the auction.”
